— ■' —■— I Williams Retains Lightweight Title I lx>s Angeles, July 22. —(UP) —! Fierce-faced Ike Williams cocked an unblemished eye on the world’s welterweight championahip today after defending his own lightweight crown with a bloody fourth round technical knockout of Enrique Bolanos. Williams said he had been offered a title bout with welterweight champ Ray (Sugar) Robinson by Philadelphia promoter Johnny Attell, a September date was suggested and Williams said he was "thinking it over.” He was ready for new worlds to conquer after his vicious pummelIng of the .Mexican. Bolanos, before 19.000 at Wrigley last night. The Dusky Williams, making his seventh title defense including his third against Bolanos, never was more vicious as he chopped the Mexican tu the canvas twice before referee Jack Dempsey halted the proceedings at 2 minutes 40' seconds of the fourth. Dempsey signaled the end of the bout just as Bolanos' manager, George Parnassus, threw in the towel and leaped into the ring to aid his beaten and blood-smear-ed charge. Williams had beaten Bolanos by a knockout in 1946 and a split decision in 1948. The 2 to 1 betting (aids favoring Williams were justified from the very opening gong. ||e won the first round with a barrage of lefts to the face, accented occasionally by a right cross. In the second he Jarred Bolanos with a rapid-action left and right to the combination that wobbled the Mexican, hut there was no knockdown. Bolanos was weak after the beating he took in the second, and his left eye was closed. In the third 25-year-old Williams went after that eye with lefts and he also bloodied Bolanos* nose. There was no defense for Bolanos and little offense. Williams stalked his Durango. Mex . oppon■MSB
