RubiO Taboo To Robinson But Fight Goes Friday

New York, March 18.-If the ears of Promoter Mike Jacobs and his matchmaker, Nat Rogers, are burn ing, it is probably because the Ray Robinson encourage up at Greenwood Lake, N. Y., is talking behind their backs.
 There is considerable resentment at the Robinson camp against Ja- cobs and Rogers. Robinson and his manager, Curt Horrmann, charge that Jacobs and Rogers forced Sugar Ray into his 12-round meet ing with Norman Rubio at Madison Square Garden tomorrow night.
 It is now an old story how Rob- inson trice cancelled previous en- agreements with Rubio. Once he claimed a stomach disorder and the second time he claimed bad hands. The New York state athletic com mission had Robinson examined, the physicians could find nothing wrong with the fighter, and Sugar Ray was suspended for 60 days.
 Afraid?
 All of which would seem to indi- cate that Robinson does not relish the idea of fighting Norman Rubio. Last week, when Marty Servo and Matchmaker Rogers immediately ad- vanced the name of Rubio to take Servo's place, since Rubio had es- tablished himself as one of the well terweight divisions foremost repre- Sentatives.
 Horrman hemmed and he hawed. But Jacobs and Rogers insisted on Rubio. Hermann continued his protests but the goth Century of- ficials were adamant. Horrmann finally agreed to the match, realiz- ing that if word got out that Rob- inson refused to fight Rubio 1t would seriously damage the Har- lernite's prestige.
 The chief reason, perhaps, for Robinson,S disinclination to face Ru- bio Is that he has considerable trou- ble against lighters who climb all over him, who charge in with gloves flying, stay in close and pound him around the midsection. Robinson likes to have little distance be- tween himself and his oponent. He needs that distance to make his punches effective.
 Besides, Rubio is tough and he is strong and winning fighter in his own right. He has never been knocked out and never been floored for a count. He never takes a backward step and he never stops throwing punches. Robinson figures to have a distressing evening.

He will make a policy, he said, of staging major at fractions at inland cities and dis closed he was considering shows for Cleveland. Pittsburgh and Detroit.

Tampa, March 1S.-When Dizzy Dean first cracked the headlines and was rated nothing more than an incredible hick, I asked the one time cotton picker how much thought he put into pitching.
 "Oh, they tell me this about one hitter and that about another" re- piled or Dig, "but they all look alike to me. I just rear back and pump that thing through there with something on it.
 "That puts the problem up to the hitter"
 Branch Rickey had the same idea in selling ball players long before he peddled Dean and his lame arm to the Chicago Cubs for $l86 900 and three useful hands, one of them Curt Davis, who opened the 1941 world series for the BrooklynS.
 There isn't a truer baseball say- ing than "They never die on the Cardinals"
 Hickey usually knows, of course, but when he is not positive his sound theory is never to wait to be certain whether a high-salaried Red Bird has had an off-year or is on the way down.
 Unless they're indispensable and in full stride and especially when they are susceptible to injury-the Hickey system is to sell 'em while there's market.
 No other appraiser of ivory can find 30 many things wrong with an athlete, exclusive of playing faults. Like Ed Barrow of the Yankees. Hickey is a stickler for conduct off the field, too. Next to Yankees, Cardinals meet the stiffest personal requirements
