 New York, Nov. 7-(UP)-Welter- weight Ray Robinson, greatest all- around fighter in any boxing di- vision today, knocked of his sec- ond middleweight at Madison Square Garden last night. He won the unanimous l0-round decision over Vic Dellicurti of New York,
 Robinson, Harlem's uncrowned king of the wslters, who is un- beaten in 3S professional and 80 amateur brawls for a total of i27 straight victories, gave squat, dark haired Dellicurti bloody boxing lesson, and, when he had him ready for the kayo in the 10th, surpris- ingly refrained from knocking him out.
 This l0th-round gesture of mercy from Harlems ebony egocentr!c was so unexpected that the l0,349 fans, who were ready to boo him out of the ring because of his fail- ure to kayo blood -smeared Delli- curti, instead gave him an ovation when he climbed down from Mike Jacobs platform.
 It was a screwball 10th round, Slender, stream lined Robinson who had belted out 27 of his previous 37 professional opponents, never threw a solid punch at vanquished Vic in the 10th. He went throu h pantomime of punch--a mimicry of maul--in which he seemed to be playing "patty-cake" to the body of his bleeding opponent.
 Dellicurti was lucky he lasted the distance. He was bleeding so pro- fusely from a gash on his left brow that Referee Frankie Fullam eX- amined the wound several times, but permitted the bout to go on.
 Dellicurti despite his previous victories over some top-flight mid dleweights, never had a chance never won single round on the United Press score sheet, although he fought on even terms in the sixth. It wasn't that valiant Vic didn't try. That he did and ganely He olitweighed Robinson nine and a quarter pounrs-l53% to l44ta-but he lacked the weapons to combat the dancing dynamiters speed, elusiveness and punch.

New York, Nov. 7.-Bill Dudley, Wirginla,s first All-America who now noes his running for the profess bional Pittsburgh Steelers, regularly arails five fellow backs when wind eprints are head. Yet he isn't hay hg much trouble out-distancing yhallengers in the race for the Na- honal Football League ground Yaining championship.
 There hasn't been anyone like young Dudley among the money players since Cliff Battles ran for Washington in 1887.
 Ace Parker, who wound up his football career with Brooklyn last eall, didn't have too much size There were backs who were his euperiorS in all departments, yet he was voted the most valuable player ln the professional wheel.
 The cases of Dudley and Parker bring to mind Tyrus Raymond Cobb, the daddy of all baseball players, who took breath-taking liberties on the bases. Ty Cobb was of good speed, but there were faster men.
 As Andy Farkas of the Redskins points out: "A ball-carriers' intui- Hon is worth more to him than his thinking process. There's no time io think when you've got the ball. You just have to get going and hope gour refiexes are doing all right by fou."
