Robinson, in Savage
Finish, Routs Bell
As Title Rival
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 17.-Another
challenger to Ray (Sugar) Robin
sons rating as unofficial ruler of
the welterweights was relegated to
the list of also rams today.
The latest aspirant to digest an
unhealthy amount of sugar is
Tommy Bell, the Youngstown, Ohio,
sharpshooter who missed fire at the
arena last night and had his string
of % straight triumphs snapped.
A crowd of 1896 witnessed near
mayhem in the final heat of the 10
rounder as Bell went down for a
count of eight only to rise and be
punched all over the ring by Robin
son intent on a knockout. Bell
somehow survived the onslaught
but at the finish he was bloody and
groggy.
Several times after the knock
down the force of Robinson's blows
drove the almost defenseless Bell
into the ropes, but he failed to go
down again.
The first four rounds packed little
action, but from then on Robinson
increased the tempo of an attack
that led to the furious climax in
the final stanZa.
Bell made his best showing in the
seventh and eighth rounds when he
engaged in some hard exchanges,
but Robinson's punches were harder
and more frequent.
The Associated Press score sheet
awarded Robinson seven rounds.
Referee Jackie Davis gave Bell the
third and ninth for low blows by
Robinson while the first was called
even.
The triumph was Sugars 18th
straight and his SD in So profess
sional bouts. A decision to Middle
weight Jake La Motta in February
of 1943 is the only blot on his record.
Robinson decisioned La. Motta in a
later engagement.
His next fight tentatively is set
for Buffalo January "a against Joe
Curcio of Newark, who scored
technical knockout over Joe Sulick
at Jersey City last night.
