Office By Jack Guenther 0 '■ !! I !!l O New York. May 29. (UP) Ray Robinson, the thin-limbed Negro who supiMisedly combines the more destructive attributes of a small I dog. a pound of termites and a woI man scorned, stretched hie gory t chain of boxing triumphs to 121 last night and in so doing lost almost as much prestige as the three blind mice who served as refree and Judge*. The lean, lank product of Harlem's side streets added a rather weak Jink to his chain by outpointing Marty Servo of the coast guard in a return match. He inopped up rather efficiently but all he earned besides his cut of the purse was an assortment of fancy aches and pains in his left hand, his head and lx»th his close-cropped ears. Robinson entered the ring In Madls n Square Garden a 6-1 favorite au<l climbed out of it 45 minute* later no better than an S-5 shot. One of the three blind mice didn't think lie wax even that good. This particular house, a grayish fellow who calls himself referee Billy Cavanagh, amazed everybody by casting his vote for the pink I young Servo. This action added a note of sorry slapstick to what was anything but a memorable date in the history of ring officiating. For while Cav- ! anagh was giving Servo five rounds . with two even. Judge Billy Healy was awarding Robinson six rounds with one even and Judge Toni Curley was tabbing the Harlem hottentot for nine rounds with none even. All three men were watching the same fight at the same time. Yet. one of them gave Servo but a single round while another gave him five. One gave Robison nine round* while another gave him only three. At this point. I might suggest that Brig.-Gen. John J. Phelan, chairman of the boxing commission, equip all future judges and referees with "seeing eye" dogs. While the mice were thoroughly discrediting themselves with the crowd, the newspapermen and even with the fighters, Robinson was losing much of the wide-eyed adul ation with which his admirers regard him Only in flashes did he perform like a truly great ringman: at other times he was busily displaying hix dislike of hl* trade. The bout Was a thriller in spots fh-rvo. who appears to be almost as old as a high school basketball player, gave Robinson a full evening in their first meeting els month* agcr when the decision also was split- and he was busier than a lion tamer at feeding time again in this second go-round. He forced the action, but Robinson landed the 1 y .y IP. H. BRIEDE 509 West Jefferson W IMs table.) as iiariwr and aafib «■ An MM(MV«XV-IM«4Un Wsfi-Sm kmßas Cw»., Rn> Mwaa, W

harder blown. The pattern wax fashioned in the first round. It was slow and dellb< rate. Robinson circled his »mailer opponent like a hawk circling a hen house. In the second. Cavanagh all but brought down the house when he ‘ penalised Servo for a low blow that was struck by the Negro, i This wae Servo’s best round, but It was taken away. From then • through th.- sixth the Nigro dominated. In the seventh the coast guardsman came hack. Robinson said, he injured his left hand early and It was almost useleos through these last few rounds. He that as it may. he also was a tired young man. But although tired, he was smart. B>-rvo would force the tight for the first two and a half minutes of the round: Robinson would stage a spectacular flurry in the last 3o seconds and do his damage then. It was this strategy which inspired loud abuse of Robinson from the crowd when the decision was announced. And It was this strategy which confused the officials. Healy obviously judged each round on damage done, and Robinson did the most damage. Cavanagh obviously judged each round on its time element and Servo carried the offensive most of the way. It’s about time they got together.
