Headaches In
Vogue For Olson,
Robinson Fight

CHICAGO, ILL.,, Mar. 28-Pro.
moter Jim Norris of the Interna-
tional Boxing Club is encountering
one headache after another in try
ing to wrap up the scheduled mid
dleweight fight between champion
Ray Robinson and challenger Carl
(Bobo) Olson.
Robinson made boxing history
by knocking Olson out in Chicago
last Dec. 9, after an absence of al
most three years from active par
ticipation in the ring. A rematch
between the two had been set for
February, 1856, but Sugar Ray be-
came ill and the fight was post
poned until April and scheduled
for Wrigley Field in Los Angeles.
Later the date was moved back
to May to give Robinson more time
to train.
Latest in the on-again, off-again
bout, however, centers on the bald
ing Hawaiian.
Olson recently was reported mis-
sing and a search was begun to
locate him. Last week he was
found-at County Lake, about 10
miles north of San Francisco.
His manager, Sid Flaherty, said
Bobo, was training, so there was
no further cause for alarm.

Asked about the outlook for the

Progress so far has been steady
but slow-most all practice ses-
sions have been devoted to base
running, sliding, fielding and hit
ting with fielding and hitting re-
ceiving the major emphasis" A
rash of sore arms broke out to
slow the Tigers workouts consid-
erably. Potentially the personnel
is outstanding, however, and much
can be expected of this "rookie"
