Ike Viliiams Feared 'Rx In Title Fight Lightweight Champ Winner By Dtciiion Over Freddy Dawson PHILADELPHIA, Dec. ttJP) Ike WlUlami still rules the light weight! but he furnished more excitement In his dressing room than he did outpointing Chicago's Freddy Dawkson In Convention hall's ring. The champion, in an unusual pre-light press conference last night, called reporters to his dressing room and told them he feared a "fix." Williams related that he re ceived a telephone call during the afternoon in which the caller said if the bout went the full 15 rounds the championship would change hands. Frank (Blinky) Palermo, who signed a contract to manage the Trenton, N. J., Negro for an other three years, refused to put much credence In the report. But at Wlliams' insistence called the sports writers from ringside. ' Ike refused to elaborate on his statement or give the name of . the person who called him. But after taking a unanimous but close decision from Dawson that displeased many in the house oi lu.asa, wuuams saia nis iears apparently resulted from a "bum steer." . The odds, however, on the 'champion dropped during the day from 12 to 5 to 7J to S as plenty of money showed for the Chicagoan. In three previous non-title bouts they fought a ten round draw, Williams won by a knockout In another and took the third by a close decision. Acting Chairman George Jones of the state athletic commission said he had no knowledge of any reported fix. It looked for several rounds, especially in the closing sessions, that Damson might lift the crown which Williams won by knock ing out Bob Montgomery In 1847. The bobbing, weaving, In fighting Dawson was a real puz zle for Ike, who likes to stand up and punch. Not once did Wil liams land his pay-off punch. He did get in probably the hardest blow of the fight and that Isn't saying much in the fifth. It was a solid left to the head. Dawson made his best showing In the 12th and final heats but his blows from the Inside were not hard enough to make the champion give ground. - The strawberry vine li a mem ber of the rose family.
