ROBINSON MAY
 GET REMATCH !.
 WITH CAvILAN
Sugar Forfeits S5,OOO as He Was Overweight
 in Last Night's Go
By JACK HAND

NEW YORK, Sept. 24.-lR-A little matter of 2 $5,000 forfeit for "a half-pound of flesh stands be- tween a Ray Robinson-Kid Gavi-
 Ian rematch or the welterweight title.
 If the Twentieth Century Sporting Club is able to resolve the slight differences between the two mana gers and make the match for an open Oct. g or Dec. IT date, it will lbe it's only profit from las. nights Yankee Stadium doubleheader that also featured a 10th round knock out for lightweight champ Ike Will Hams over Jesse Flores. A slim crowd of 15,4,3 rattled around the cavernous ball yard in the Bronx and paid only 5,150 into Mike Jacobs coffers, current [ ly guarded by acting promoter Sol
 Strauss.
 Gavilan dropped a l0-round de- cision to Robinson in a non-title scrap that was close enough to war
 rant another showing AS Sugar
 Ray at 150la was eight ounces over his agreed weight in a private agree
 ment with Angel Lopez, Gavi,an' s manager, the Cuban dandy has him over a barrel.
 Lopez meets with Robinson and
 Strauss today. If he insists he can
 have the S5,000 forfeit. That would mean no title shot, Chances are l that Lopez, wise Latin who runs
 a Broadway night clua, will pass
 the five grand and insist on the
 championship bout.

Supreme Court Orders
Rehearing in Forced
Confession Conviction
, BY the Associates, pre,s

The Supreme Court has ordered .
new hearing on the question whether
a confession was obtained by coer-
cion for a young Jackson, Miss,
Negro convicted Of assault with in
tent to rape.
The Mississippi Supreme Court.
upholding Lees conviction and 1s-
year sentence, ruled that he had
barred himself from raising the
coercion issue by denying that he
had ever confessed.
The Supreme Court yesterday,
however, answered mo" to the fol-
lowing question, which 1t said was
the controlling one:
Does a defendant in q State
criminal proceeding lose the right
to contend that a confession was
coerced because of his testimony
that the confession was in fact
never made?"
In an unanimous opinion written
by Justice Murphy. the court also
declared there was a question, so
far as the record Of the case goes.
whether there was any such denial
by the 17-year-old defendant.
"The incomplete record before
U.s." Justice Murphy wrote. pre-
cludes our determination of whether
petitioner did deny in the trial court
that he had confessed the crime.
But assuming that he did so testify,
we cannot agree with the court
below that he was thereby estopped
from asserting his constitutional
right to due process of law. -"
THE sole concern now Is with the
validity of the conviction based
upon the use of the oral confession"
Justice Murphy said the Missis-
sippi court upheld the conviction
solely on the convention that Lee
could not raise the constitutions
question. The case was sent back
to that tribunal 80 that it may
definitely express its views on that
