In 2nd Round
NEW YORK, Aug. 22 (AP)
Ray Robinson begins to look
like the first fellow in four de
cades likely to go through a
fistic career without losing a
fight. This was apparent last
night after the slim swatter
from Harlem tcok the Colorado
cowboy, Reuben Shank, apart
in two heats at Madison Square
gorden.
For a few minutes, Shank's
charges and free-wheeling wal
lops looked as if they might
make trouble, and the crowd
of 10,437 caught on. quickly.
But Reuben made two mistakes.
The first was when he showed
up at the garden. The second
was when he caught Sugar Ray
a shot on the whiskers early
in the second round. This sec
ond error shook Robinson up
and acted like stepping on the
Starter of your car. It made
Ray's engine explode. He
floored Reuben four times. The
fourth time the refree gave
Shank his hat and told him the'
show was over. And even Reu
ben was convinced by that time.

Blond Iowa Slugger Loses
Nod to Chicago Heavy
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22 (AP)
Lee Savold, the blond Iowa
heavyweight whose, chief am
bition is a crack at Champion
Joe Louis, hollered "robbery
today, and he wasn't alone.
Lee thought he was doing
right well against Tony Musto
the built-elose-to-the-ground Chi
cagoan, in a 10-rounder here
last night. So did Referee Ed
die" Lafond and most of the
ringsiders, but . the two local
judges, Dr. Robert Eller and
Dr. O, U. Singer, thought oth
erwise. The result was a 2-1 decision
for Musto. Tony stayed in a
crouch most of the way and oc
casionally landed in the clut
ches, but Savold dutboxed him
whenever the battlers came out
of their lethargy to mix it up.
Savold, who disposed of Lou
Nova, the California ex-Yogi
man, here a few months back,
started out slow and never was
very impressive. By the fifth
round, however, he was taking
the lead with stinging left jabs
and occasional straight rights
to the body.
Musto gained his point ad
vantage, in the view of the
judges, from his slinging body
blows in the clinches. He hurt
Savold about four times at close
quarters in the early rounds.
oavoid, the boxing pride m Des
Moines, solved Tony's style in
the latter rounds and from then
on took most of the Chicagoan's
punches on the gloves, and el
bows. JEFFRIES WINS BOUT

The American league, which holds the upper hand over the
National league in world scries
of the paat few years, will attempt to catch up with Its older -companion
loop tomorrow in baseball's contributions to war
relief.
Far behind the senior circuit
forces through receipts of designated games, the American league)
has pinned its hopes on the New
total somewhere near the Na-
tional League's gift of better
than a quarter of a million dol
lars. The Yankees will be aided by
the Washington Senators and
both teams will have the help of
their brlghest stars of former
years Babe Ruth and Walter
Johnson. Although the main
attraction at Yankee stadium is
supposed to be the doubleheader
between the two clubs, top bill
ing has gone to the Babe and the
"big train."
With Johnson pitching, Ruth
will step to the plate between
games and attempt to belt the
Babe Ruth Walter Johnson
ball out of the park, just as he
did no less than 714 times in his
22 years as a Major League
player.
Advance ticket sales indicate
a near-capacity crowd of more
than 75,000.
' Before yesterdays game
which opened the New York-
Washington series at the stad
ium, Ruth did a little practicing.
Batting ' against Gerry Priddy,
an infielder, the Babe drove
three balls far back into the
right field seats.
After their former slugging
star retired, the Yankees went
out and put on a demonstration
of their own, blasting 21 hits off
three Washington pitchers to
crush the Senators, 17-7.
The Yankees needed the vic
tory to preserve their 101 game
