Tracks LaMotta Loses TKO Decision To NY Negro By CHARLES DUNKLEY CHICAGO UP) Sugar Ray Robinson today became the first man in ring history to win one championship and lose another all in the same battle. The rythmic New York Negro, defeated only once in 124 contests, last night won the world's middle weight championship by hammer ing durable Jake LaMotta, 160 pound title holder, to defeat on a 13-round technical knockout be fore 14,802 frenzied spectators in the Chicago stadium. Loses Welter Toga As his right-gloved fist was raised in victory, Robinson auto matically relinquished his welter weight crown. He was forced to surrender it under a ruling of the National Boxing association anil also by decision of Eddie Eagan, chairman of the New York State Athletic commission, which oper ates independently of the NBA. Under the terms of last night's match. Robinson is required to give I.aMotta a return bout, prob ably in New York, next June. However, Truman Gibson, secre tary of the sponsoring Interna tional Boxing club, wondered if LaMotta wanted to face the pros pect of absorbing another beating from his conqueror. LaMotta remained in an unfa vorable condition for two hours alter he walked from the ring untler his own power. He was immediately administered oxygen when he reached his. dressing room. He was completely ex hauslrd and suffered chills. Attendance Large Dr. J. M. Houston of the Il linois Athletic commission and Jake's own personal physician, Dr. Philip Burnorl, New York, re mained in constant attendance un til he was able to leave (or his downtown hotel quarters with his wile, Vicki. The attendance gate was $IR0, 619 and the net was $1118,939. The attendance exceeded expectation despite television and its esti mated 30,000,000 viewers. La Mot la's share of the gate was $2,520 and Robinson received $20,840. Each fighter also had a TV cut of $1,500. LaMotta held the middleweight championship two days short of 20 months. He won it from the late Marcel Cerdan of France at Detroit, June 16, 1949. He suc cessfully defended it twice. Robin son had ruled the welterweights since Dec. 20, 104B. The rugged LaMotta, never knocked off his feet in 9S con tests, retained this dubious honor in losing to Robinson. The bout was slopped at 2:04 of the 13th round. 'Bronx Bull' Helpless The "Bronx Bull" was battered into a slate of helplessness which prompted Referee Frank Siknra to step between lhe men and order Robinson to his corner. ' LaMoltn, the only man ever to defeat Robinson, never fought more determinedly than he did last night. For eight rounds he actually forced the battle. He both ered the confident Robinson with lesounrling body blows and jolt ing lefts lo the head and often WHY BUY? YOU CAN RENT LINEN CHEAPER!

Associated Pre Two of the better basketball cen ters in the East gave tlie adding machines a workout last night. As usual, the great Sherman White sparked Long Island uni versity (19-4) to a 116-78 victory over weak Fort Monmouth.
