			Ezzard Charles made his first excursion to the canvas in professional fighting last night, dazedly dropping for a one count in the seventh round from a short, overhand right to the jaw, but the Cincinnati middleweight redoubled his fire to easily score a unanimous decision over Billy Bengal of Detroit, in a ten-rounder in Music Hall Sports Arena.

			Bengal after being lanced and bloodied with larruping lefts and rights for six rounds, brought the crowd of 1,500 to its feet by flooring his foe with the first punch of the round. It was the lone knockdown.

			Referee Earl Butler, confusedly holding Charles's gloves when Ezzard bounded up, momentarily checked Bengal's wild rush to "finish off" the stunner.

			However, Charles, stung and hurt, did not need the inadvertant assist. He pursued the Detroiter and pounded with angry lefts to the midriff and looping rights to the mush.

			"Ezzard the Wizard" continued his fulisades in the eighth and tenth, almost jarring the visitor into submission in an all-out finale to win his sixteenth straight professional bout and to capture all the rounds except the seventh.

			Up to Bengal's "one punch" seventh round, Charles took the offensive continually, spearing his foe's face into a smear of claret with whipping rights and reddening Bengal's body with left thrusts.

			The 23-year-old "veteran" Bengal, whose real name is William Mazgal, "rode" the majority of Ezzard's walloping, pedaling the foursquare of the ring and making his schoolboy opponent miss a large percentage of shots.

			Charles, who declared "this was my toughest fight" and Bert Williams, his manager, expressed willingness to give Bengal a return tiff. Bengal and his pilot, Mel Richards, said they "would like to come back."
