TWO W|NTERL0 LOOP
GAMES IN VALLEY
SET ON SUNDAY

Two winter league baseball
games for Imperial Valley are
scheduled for this week-end-one
in BraWley and one in Ell Centre.
In Ell Centro the strong town
team from the county seat is set
to take on a powerful squad of
Marines from the Ell Centre air
training station, at 1:30 pm. At
Brawley the Merchants from that
city are to play the federal migra-
tory camp team.
A game scheduled between the
MeXicali team and the BraWley
Merchants was called off because
OF celebration, including a bull
fight, set for MeXicali this Sum
day afternoon at $3.50.
The Ell Centre team is laboring
under player shortage similar to
those encountered now by many big
league teams. Several of the regu-
lar players from the squad have
been called for army duty in the
recent past.
1t may be possible to play two
seven-inning games in the Ell Gen.
tro stadium this Sunday instead of
the nine-frame game scheduled,
team officials declared. A team
from an infantry unit stationed in
the Yuma area has been petitioning
for game. The squad may come
and play short game against q
pickup team here, they said.

SUGAR OUTLASTS SGT.
TO STAY BEST WELTER

:. NEW YORK, Feb 70. (UP)
Young Ray Robinson OF
Harlem is uncrOwned king of
the welterweights by virtue
Of his 1O-round split decision
last night over Sgt. Jackie Wilson in
bout that lacked sparkle after
the woiks wuz shot" in the fourth
round.
This first main event at Madison
Square Garden between two Negroes
in four years drew but 1886 fans
and a gate of only S47,683. 1t was
a disappointing encounter because
of the dullness of the last five
rounCS.
Robinson won the decision because
| at 81, he was able to outlast his
older and more experienced oppo-
nent from California. Sergeant Will
son, now stationed at the Mitchell
Field, N. Y, air base, lost the last
two rounds and the fight
CALLED 1T DRAW
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 it draw, voting five and five.
But the other judge, Bill Healy,
and Referee Frankie Fullam bal
loted for Robinson. The United
Press scored five rounds for Rob-
inson, four for Wilson and one even.
Until the fourth round, it shaped
up as a grand battle. But early in
/ the fourth, Robinson stunned the
Californian with a left hook to
the WhiSkers, drove him across the
ring with a barrage to the head
and slithered him off the ropes to
the canvas with a right to the chin.
| Wilson wisely took the count OF
eight to clear his head, then rose
to face a rain of red leather that
might have felled a horse. For two
full minutes, young Robinson smash
ed him in the face with every punch
at his command. But California
Jackie refused to go down again.
RAY EXHAUSTED
Robinson hit Wilson so nard and
so fast that the final seconds of
the fourth round found Rapid Ray
so exhausted that he was merely
going through the motions of punch
ing against an opponent who was
nearly out on his feet.
Both men lost their zing in that
! SeSSion-WilSon from punishment
and Robinson from all-out effort.
After that the pace slowed to
such an extent that at times the
fans were yelling for action. But
neither battler had enough sparkle
left to satisfy them. Robinson kept
winning at long range, but Wilson
continued to do the most damage at
close quarters. Wilson didn't want
to fight at long range because of
Robinson'S superior speed Accord
ingly, Wilson sought clinches at
every opportunity, but he groped
into them instead of hitting and
falling into them.
