 Battle 0ages Laier

NEW YORK, Aug. 30-iRl-Kid Gavilan won a hairline decision over Billy Graham to keep the world welterweight championship, but the fight served only to start a furious arguments
 It was their third meeting and the third split decision. Graham now has won once and the Cuban twice.
 The 15-round fight last night in Madison Square Garden re- solved itself into a matter of per- sonal opinion. Gavilan was more generally the aggressOr, started fast, and threw long, looping punches. Graham was the superb counter -puncher, started slowly, and closed with a mighty rush. Despite the numerous blows there were no knockdOwns and no serious damage.
 Judge Arthur Schwartz liked Cav ilan clearly, nine rounds to six.
 Judge Frank Forbes called it 7-7 with one even, and gave Graham the edge in points, lilo. That cast his vote for Graham.
 Referee Mark Conn also called it TT with one even, but he gave Cav ilan the edge in points 10-7, and that decided it.
 Of 13 ringside newspapermen boiled, 70 favored Graham and hree Gavilan.
 The Associated Press card gave it to Graham, 7-5, with three, even.
 The pro- Graham crowd rOared mighty protest, cheered the New Yorker to the echo, and Al Wcill, International Boxing Club match maker, dashed into Graham's dressing room and told the dis consulate challenger, Don't worry, don't worry, you'll get another chance"
 This was the Cuban's first defense of the championship he won May l8 of this year from Johnny Bratton and he went into the ring a 12-5 favorite. At 145A he had a one quarter pound margin over Graham.

mote the phony Soviet plan for a
INegro-Soviet State.'
Became Credentials Aide.

dentials secretary, this youth,
the Commissioner said, actually
checked the credentials of Bridges
Later, when he realized what
he had DONE" the Commissioner
said. "this youth went to the JUS
ltice Department and was all set
to be a star prosecution witness,
when he was stricken with brain
hemhorrage, and even from his
sick bed, offered to testify, as a
chance to atone. The Commis-
Isioner said the offer was declined
because of the illness.
Mr.. Donohue was introduced by
Charles j. Quander, ST., class OF
1922, president of the Armstrong
Alumni Association.
| Woolsey w. Hall, member o1
the Board of Education, told the
group he was a student at the ole
