 Title Todoy

New York, Sept. 3-(UP)-The fourth and perhaps final act in that rotten welterweight burlesque call ed ''the Robinson run-around" was scheduled to be staged today.
 Welterweight champion Marty Servo, having called. off next Fri days title defense against Ray (Sug- ar) Robinson, was slated to appear before the Boxing Commission to: CD have his title vacated, or (2) be granted his third Robinson post ponement.
 Shrewd Al Veil, Servos mana ger, announced last night that the Yankee Stadium bout was off. He declared he would not let the cham pion from Schenectady, N. Y, go through with the scrap under any condition" because of training injury to the right side of Servo's nose.
 Fracture Aggravated
 Weiu explained that the injury was suffered last Thursday when Marty received a head-but from sparmate Lew Hanbury during a training bout at Summit, N. J. This apparent fracture" became aggravated over the weekend, he said.
 Coincidentally, the Servo-Robin- son ticket sale was turtle-slow; and the betting price favored Robinson ct to l.
 Chairman Eddie Egan of the Con- mission announced at Saranac Lake, N. Y, that he would preside at to- days hearing, and that Servo's fate would depend upon the Showings of X-rays and upon the report of Dr. John R. Paige, nose and throat specialist who had been assigned to examine the champ.
 Egan displayed little egarness for today's fourth act; probably be- cause the three previous skitS had brought no satisfaction to him nor to the public. Those three acts might be reviewed as follows:
 Act l
 Last winter, Freddie Cochrane then champion, picked Servo as challenger instead of Negro Robin son of Harlem, who was recognized everywhere as No. contended. Servo had guaranteed Cochrane $50,000 for the title shot. Apparent ly unaware of this purchase, the Commission approved Servo because his service record was better than Robinson's. At the time, however, the Commission forced Servo to sign another contract guaranteeing a ti- tie defense against Robinson on May 24, in case he took the crown away from Cochrane. Servo became champion by knocking out Cochrane on Feb. l.
 Servo, the brand new champion, wes knocked out by middleweight Rocky Graziano in a non-title bout on March 29. Servo soon claimed that nose injuries inflicted by Graz iano would prevent his defending against Robinson on May A. The Commission, in irritation, ''vacat- ed' Servo's title; but it held the ex- ecution in abeyance until Sept. 6 (next Friday, by which time the champion must have defended against Robinson. Meanwhile he could engage in no public bouts with any other opponent, to guard against -tune-up" injuries.
 Act 5
 Promoter Mike Jacobs signed Ser vo and Robinson for 8 title match at Yankee Stadium, Aug. 21. But it was discovered later that the Yanks had 8 ball game scheduled for that night. Jacobs, figuring the bout for a "poor draw, tried to shift it indoors to the Garden; but Veil insisted on his going through with the outdoor contract. And so it was slated at the Stadium for Friday night, the ''deadline" granted by the Commission Meanwhile, Servo evaded the Commissions edict against tune-up bouts by engaging in two private scraps at service hos pitals. Marty surprised the fight mob by suffering no nose injuries in those tune-ups.
