Seruo Drills For Robinson At $5, $1O, SIP

New York, Aug. 27-Still the only new champion to be crowned since the end of the war, Marto Servo, welterweight titleholder, is nearing peak form in training for the first defense of his championship against Ray Robinson at the Yankee Sta dium week from Friday night, Sept. 6.
 Servos daily routine, at Ehsan's gymnasium in Summit, N. J., con- sists of l2 to Is rounds of work. According to his manager, Al Weill, most fighters make the mistake of training only eight or ten rounds a day even when preparing for l5-round encounter. They box four or five rounds, finish up with four or five rounds of floor work.
 Not Weill's fighters, however. Weill believes that the place for fighter to get tired is in the gym naslum, not in the ring during a fight. Consequently, he has Servo doing five or six rounds of boxing day and then anywhere from six to nine rounds of work on the floor.
 Successful
 The Veil system - making his fighters do lots of work in the gym has proved successful Servo is his third world champion. Twice he guided Lou Ambers to the world lightweight championship. He also directed the career of Joey Archi- bald who twice held the feather weight title.
 There was once a fighter in the Weill stable who, says the portly manager, was so annoyed by Weills insistence that he work and work and then work some more in the gym that he used to refer to his manager as Simon Legree."
 The challenger for the welter- weight title-Sugar Ray Robinson Is conditioning himself at his camp in Greenwood Lake, N. Y, for his meeting with Servo. Robinson has been waiting long time for this opportunity and expects to be in the best shape of his career when he climbs into the stadium ring next week.
 Tickets for the title match are on sale at Madison Square Garden and at the 20th Century c. G., BOA w. 50th Street They are priced at $500, 5000 and s120O. The prices include all taxes.

Brundoge Against Pay for Athletes

Oslo, Norway, Aug. H-tUP)-A dangerous breach, threatening the structure of international sports, developed today with the United States and Great Britain squarely aligned against several European nations over the ticklish question of amateurism.
 The International Amateur Ath- letic Federation, which set the pat tern for the eligibility rules of the Olympic Games, attempted to put of showdown yesterday when it voted to defer ruling on the ques- tion of broken time" payments for athletes competing in international games.
 Will Pay
 But Bo Lindman of Sweden, whose athletes just won the postwar re- neWal of the European track and field championships, jumped up to inform the congress delegates that his country would ignore the ac- tion.
 Lindman said Sweden would pay it's athletes for wages lost from their normal jobs while training and competing in international meets, whether international rules are violated or not.
 Five European nations = Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Bel gium-offered proposals to permit broken time" payments. In reply, Avery Brundage of the U. S. warned that the pending vote was the most dangerous moment in athletic his tory.
 If you adopt this proposal, it is the beginning of the end of the I.AAF.," Brundage said.
 Further Study
 The congress ducked an immedi- ate showdown, voting 28 to l9 to adopt a proposal by Harold Ab- rahams of Britain that the matter be studied by the federation's anna teur committee which will present its findings to the next congress in January, 1948.
 But Lindman, whose country re- gently suspended distance stars Gunder Haag and Arne Anderson for professionalism, hit at the foun- dation of the I.A.AF. when he said that Sweden would buck the rules and that T have 250,000 Swedish athletes behind me"

'Tex' Shakes Mound Jnx'
BY FRANK HARRINGTON United Press Sports Writer

Boston. Aug. 27-tUP)-Cecil CTex) Hughson, hard-luck hurler for the Boston Red Sox, today boasted his l4th win of the season after a five-hit decision ever the comedy-invoking Cleveland ln- dians.
 Stumped in previous starts by i ninth inning jinX, Hughson over came the difficulty yesterday after shaky first inning in which CleVe- land scored it's lone run. A three run rally by the Sox in the second inning and single tallies in the fifth and sixth frames settled the victory for the handsome hurlsr.
 Despite the victory, the Red Sox were unable to add to their Amer ican League lead as the New York Yankees came up with an old time seven-run rally to defeat the De- troit Tigers 10-6 and remain IA games behind the Boston club.
 Though the Cleveland clowns Max Patkin and Johnny Price were absent, the Indians snowman ship continued to have it's affect on the fans
 Midget Plays L. F.
 When Manager Lou Boudreau staged his famed right field for nation" with Ted Williams at bat in the first inning, the third base section was left free for the Boston powerhouse to aim at. So, fan, a midget nigh spot entertainer, scam- pered out of the stands, picked up loose glove and guarded the area of Cleveland until the umpires es- certed him from the premises. Will Hams then struck out but the Sox went on to their victory.
 The Sox are idle today awaiting the arrival of the Detroit Club fo.' a two-game series which starts to- morrow. Mickey Harris probably will oppose the Tigers in the series opener.
 The Boston Braves were less for tunate as they dropped a 3-2 deci- sion to the Pittsburgh Pirates. A ninth-inning double by Elbie Fletch- CT with the bases loaded gave Pitts purgh the tight battle.
 The Braves rallied to overtake an early one run deficit and give John- ny Niggeling a one-run advantage in the eighth inning Two clean hits and a hit batsman in the fina, frame set the staee fcr Eletcher's game winning blow
