Robinson Eorns Title 'n Tough Go

New York, Dec. 2i.-(UP)-As Ray tSugar) Robinson donned his new welterweight crown today. lt must have seemed doubly precious. for he had gained it "the ha nd way"--in the toughest brawi of his career, after waiting five years for
 For six tumultuous rounds last night in Madison Square Garden. it seemed that Sugar Rays long wait might be climaxed by a knockout defeat instead of crowning victory. But he rose from the canvas. and he came from behind, to win the unanimous i5-round decision over dangerous Tommy Bell in their battle for the vacant title.
 The two tall Negroes fought for the crown left vacant when Marty Servo retired from the ring on Sept. 25 because of nose injuries,
 Upset Was in Making
 And what fight 1t wasl The crowd Of l5,670 was on its feet dur ing those six rounds, in frenEied anticipation of the biggest boxing upset in years as Bell, a 5-i un- derdog, shook the great Robinson with crisp left hooks that had him groggy again and again.
 Bell of Youngstown, O.--A slen- der, dark-brown youngster with the big shoulders and muscular arms of a light heavyweight-had the Garden in pandemonium in the sec- ond round when he floored the t1rtda oR xra~in,.a x.,lkt a laRk S.nni, to the chin for count of seven. Robinson, badly hurt, but des- perately clever, evaded 6 kayo and was fighting back gamely be- fore the round ended.
 Going into the seventh round, Bell g, was ahead on the United Press score sheet, three rounds to two, with one even.
 Bell Never Recovered
 But in the decisive seventh round, Robinson 25, barraged Bells body with such an exlposive hooking ate tack that Bell never recovered com pletely. During this smashing ate tack, Robinson hammered his op ponent into a corner and blasted him so terrifically that Toimmy's knees buckled.
 However, Tommy was not floored in the seventh, nor during the en- suing rounds of punishment until the lith, when Ray belted him groggy with salvo to the head and then blasted him to the canvas with crushing straight right to Bells bleeding nose. Bell was up at the count of eight, in such pitiful condition that the gong, soon after ward, apparently saved him. That Tommy survived the 12th round verged on a miracle of ruggedness, for Robinson, reputediy one of the rings most able knockout special ists, battered him from rope to rope for the full three minutes.
 Amazingly Bell rallied to win the 18th from Robinson who appar- ently was dead tired from his preyi- ous efforts; and Bell gave Ray stiff competition in the l4th but Robin son finished much stronger in the 18th.

THE TAR HEEL
GARDNER
BY John II. Harris
y. {. State College

Scuppernorg is name given
one OF the many muscadine
grapes. Fifteen new varieties OF
nuscsdine grapes have been de-
veloped at the Lower Goa stall
Plain Experiment Station at Will
lard. and c. F. Williams OF State
College. associate horticulturist.
says that several OF these new
grapes are very outstanding and
should become popular.
Some OF the new varieties are
perfect lowered and do not need
male vines 20 furnish pollen for
varieties the most promising are
the Burgaw. Wallace and Tarheel.
according 10 Williams. The Bur-
gaw Is similar to the old Thomas
variety. The Wallace is a white
grape of average size and sweet
ness. but ripering a little later
than the Scuppernorg. Tarheel is
"a small shiny black grape. which
is very productive and the fruit
is borne in large. loose clusters.
Williams says that Tupsail is
the best OF the varieties that are
not perfect lowered and one OF
the best OF all the grapes OF this
type. The fruit is white and it is
larger and sweeter than the
Scuppernong The vine is more
vigorous and more productive.
The Creswell is another good
variety. Williams says that il is
especially suited for home use be-
cause the fruit ripens over a re-
iatively long period OF time.
For an early ripening. white
variety. he recommends the New
River. For a later grape. the
Cape Fear Is another white va
riety with excellent flavor.
