 New York, May 27-(UP)-A 7oo- logical experiment. of more than us- ual interest will be conducted to" morrow when the human equlva- Tents of Q panther and a turtle are paired off In Madison Square Gar. den. Ray (Sugar) Robinson. Animal lovers are expected to turn out in full force.
 The bout is the second in which the two enterprising young men have engaged and 1t is one of those grudge things. Last time they met Robinson won the verdict but lost Q number of admirers. The decision was split. The cash customers booed 1t and Servo disputed 1t. Hence, 8 return match was all but inevitable and the prize fight mob is quite grateful. It figures to be good.
 Sugar isn't happy about his date. He did everything he could to avoid 1t. He was mauled about more than a little in the first fight and he ex- hausted every stock alibi Of the trade attempting to avoid a second edition of same. He hasn't forgotten servo,s annoying habits and he knows that this time he must win by a decisive margin or he will be booed again.
 The hot-footed Harlem flash, who is the panther in this particular ex- pertinent, is possibly one of the greatest small men the ring has known, The allusion has been over- worked, but he actually does move and strike like a panther. He has the lazy, easy grace of a magnifi- cent cat. When he decides to attack, he hits harder than Q sudden case of acute indigestion.
 Shade Too Tall
 Robinson has all the natural at- tributes, save one. At an even six feet he is just a trifle too tall to adapt himself to every type of op- ponent. He is fast and he Is smart but his physique has made him es" sentially a stand-up, slam bang slasher who is at his best against a stand-up, slam bang opponent. In such cases, his terrific punch gives him all the edge.
 But every stand-up fighter, even the great one, eventually finds him. self confronted with Q style pat termed to his greatest disadvantage A Servo, for instance. Servo is a ducker, bobber, a weaver and a croucher all in one. As such he cre- ates a great deal of havoc over the course of an evening. He is more puzzling than woman'S intuition and just as lethal.
 Servo is the turtle in to-morrow's experiment. On the street, in his dressing room or on Coast Guard vessel he appears perfectly normal But once the bell sounds and he starts for the center of a ring he becomes transformed. He crawls out of his corner sldewise like a crab and through some queer as- sortnlent of convulsions retreats within himself in the best turtle manner.
 He winds In his arms and he low CTS his head. He squats almost to his knees and he shifts his center of gravity somewhere around his ankles. He Is harder to knock over than a barrel of pickle and his triple-ply shell is as difficult to penetrate as a longshoreman's pie ket line. Ills nuisance value Is un- limited, because he happens to be quite a puncher himself.
 These facts have the customers chewing their fingernails so nerv- ously that in the past at least two of them chipped their teeth on their rings. The experts are a'dither as well and they can come to no ready agreement. Some say Sugar has gained experience and will score early this time around. Others say Servo, like cement, grows tougher as he grows older and will again endure.
 There are many angles. Robinson
