ROBINSON WON
SPLIT DECISION
IN DULL BOUT
Jackie Wilson Loser to
Harlem Star /; One Judge
Votes Draw

New York, Feb. 20-(Up)-
Young Ray Robinson Of Harlem Is
uncrowned king Of the welterweights
by virtue Of his 10-round split de-
cision last night over SGT. Jackie
Wilson in bout that lacked sparkle
after "the woiks wuz shot" In the
fourth round.
The first main event at Madison
Square Garden between two Negroes
In four years drew but 1896 fans
and q gate Of only $47,683. It was
a disappointing encounter because
Of the dullness Of the last i've
rounds.
Robinson won the decision be-
cause, at 81, he was able to out
last his older and more experienced
opponent from California.
Sergeant Wilson, now stationed
at the Mitchell Field, N. r, air base,
lost the last two rounds and the
fight.
Down Once
Although Wilson was on the floor
In the fourth session and ran out
Of gas in the two concluding stanzas,
George Kelly, one Of the judges,
called 1t draw, voting five and Ave.
But the other Judge, Bill Healy,
and Referee frankie Ftillam, bal
loted for Robinson. The United
Press scored i've rounds for Robin
son, four for Wilson and one even.
Robinson, the New Yorker, who
at 142 10 pounds was just as quar-
ter-pound more than Wilson, fights
a rubber match with Iniddleweight

New York, Feb. 20-(UP)-We are
convinced now that service boxers
men IN uniform-should not be

This conviction was tamped down
and zippered up last night when we

It was split decision in which one
Of the judges voted a draw. But
Wilson was off form. His judgment
Of distance was pathetic. He missed
more punches than he landed. And
his instructive reactions to targets as
inviting as Tokyo were as dull as
q Schoolboy's "mumbly-peg" knife.
It SINNERS down to this: In no

One either improves or goes back.
It's the same in boxing as piano

in which only men with bull-necks

entirely wrong.
It's true that one should have a
good body to be successful prize
fighter. And one must learn the
fundamentals of the manly art, just
as one must learn the fundamentals
Of riding a bicycle or operating an
adding machine.
Art Needed
A schooling in those fundamentals
Is taken for granted when one
reaches the higher brackets Of pro-

that counts. It Is the hair-triggeT
