There has been little combat in
the last few days, however, and it
was unlikely that any Americans
on these missions became involved
in air fights.
The fact that Americans partici-

that they have been fitted into
Britain's plan of air warfare.

The lone survivors in the golf matches played in the Lux Clock Golf League last week are the Jen- kins- Gunshannon combination who are now sporting record of 4 wins and no defeats. Their success can be attributed to Gushannon's con- sistency and two spectacular rounds by Jenkins.

 New York, May 28. = UP) = Ray Robinson, the brown-lighten. ing boy from Harlem, risks his rec- ord of 120 straight amateur and professional ring victories tonight against Marty Servo of the Coast Guard, who came closest to snap ping the thread in their first meet ing last September.
 Despite the widely disputed split decision by which Robinson won that initial encounter at Philadelphia the bookies have made the tall slender Negro a 4-1 favorite for to- nights return 10-round welter. weight natural at Madison Square Garden.
 Experts and fans are nystified by these long odds, given off by tho same bookies who narrowly escaped catastrophe in the recent Angott' Stolz and Pastor-M -Mauriello bouts.
 All admit that Robinson should be a slight favorite because of his 31 consecutive professional triunphs and because of his speed and punch Moreover, he ranks next to Jos Louis as the most brilliant of cur rent pugilists. But boxing writer and ticket purchasers do not rata him a Al bet against the compact fair-skinned in-hghter from Sche' nectady, N. Y.
 May Do $5O,OOO
 The fans expect great fight, and for that reason Promoter MikG Jacobs is confident of crowd ap- preaching 17,000 and a gate o about $45,000. A large contingent is expected from Philadelphia.
 Servo's admirers expect him tG provide stiffer opposition tonight than he did in September when he suffered his lone defeat in 48 pro fessional bouts. They recall he had a touch of grippe while train- ing for the Philadelphia scrap and that he had to pare down to tht Robinson requirement. of 40 pounds. three under his natural fighting weight. Servo claimed afterwards that weight-making weakened him in the 10th round. There is no weight agreement tonight. Botb are expected to register about 143
 Servo, a cousing of former light" weight champion Lou Ambers, gave Robinson a great fight the last time largely because of his style. Rob- inson, stretching. nearly six feet prefers stand-up fighters, and men who will compete at long range Bull-shouldered Servo kept charg' ing in under the Negro's long arnA -whamming away at Robinsons long body and forcing him to punch down, instead of straight, thereby lessening his effectiveness. Arao when Robinson lifted "Bolo" up- percuts from the canvas, Servo was in position to block them with his forearmS.
 Servo Inactive
 The Bookies apparently are stress ing Robinson's activity since the September Scrap, figuring that his six bouts since then have made him much sharper than Servo, who fought only once.
 The bout is significant because 1t launches the first wartime elimi- nation to obtain an interim cham pion" who can carry on while Champion Freddie Cochrane's duties in the Navy prevent him from de- lending. Three other welters are in the elimination: Southpaw Gar vey Young of the Marine Corps. Young Kid Mccoy and California Jackie Wilson, both of the Army.
