Weier Tte "Go" on KFLW Tonighi Welterweight champion Ray "Sugar" Robinson (above) tonight for the first time defends his title at Cleveland Arena, Cleveland, Ohio. Hoping to ascend the throne is Jimmy Doyle, classy California!!. Robinson won his orown by defeat ing Tommy Bell in New York last December. Since then the "Sugar" has confined his ring activities to overweight contests. Ray is as elusive as a phantom and hits like chained lightning. Meeting Doyle, however, may prove tough for the champ. Jimmy possesses plenty of courage and a good left jab. His extraordinary skill at picking off punches in mid-air, his I feinting, make it bard for an oppon ent to sink a solid shot Also he boxes right out of the book.

Nine of the crews .aboard the special train competed at Pough keepsie.

Walcoti;Nods Over Maxim LOS ANGELES. June 24 Dusky Joe Walcott protected his standing as one of the -more promi nent of a poor crop of heavyweights by outpointing Joey Maxim of Cleveland last night. But Jersey Joe hardly enhanced his hopes for a crack at Champion Joe Louis in a bout something like dynamite that never did explode for the benefit of a slim turnout of 9747 paid customers. Walcott was handed a split de cision. Referee Reggi Gilmore and Judge Mushy Callahan gave him the verdict by a slender three and two-point margin, respectively, and the other Judge. Benny Whitman, gave it to Cleveland Joe by two points. Today Jack Kearns, Maxim's manager, said he would ask the California athletic commission to reverse the decision, basing his claim on repeated Walcott punches that landed with almost embar rassing regularity through the sixth, seventh and eighth rounds on Maxim's left hip.

Several coaches, as they com pared notes on Poughkecpsie. were posltne the Judges had been "care less" In rating the crews in the second division. Pcnn's Hu.ity Oil- low said he had eyewitnesses to bear out his claim that the Quakers finished sixth Instead of ninth. Said a Wisconsin oarsman: "We had open water between our boat and Princeton, but they gave Princeton seventh place ahead of us. Then, some of the boys In our varsity boat admitted that they were hot entitled to the place given them, so that makes It even." Many of the coaches thought the officials should fullow next year's races In a dirigible a method used 1 by several radio observers.
