THE GUARDIAN, CHARLOTTETOWN

By HUGH FULLERTON. Jr.

Pl-IIILADELPHIA, July 1i (AP) -- Sugar Ray Robinson to- night won a unanimous decision over Cuba's Kid Gaviian in a 15- round fight for the world welter- weight title.

A crowd of about 35,000 saw the fig-ht in Municipal Stadium. Rob- weigheci 147 pound-s, Gavilan Referee Charley Daggart and Judge Harry Lasky voted nine rounds to six for Robinson. Judge Frank Knaresborough scored it 12 to 3. The Associated Press score- card had the title-holder ahead. 11-4. There were no knockdowns but Robinson was cut slightly over both eyes while Gavilan bled from the nose.

Robinson had a tough struggle to cut down his poundage (a the 147. Pound weight limit, and nlflde it without an ounce to spare. Then he called on his experience and hox- ing skill to outpoint the rhumba- dancing Cuban by a wide margin. For the first seven rounds against a younger and finely-con- ditioned opponent, Sugar Ray knew he had been in a fight. Then he stepped out to show he was the boss and he did it expertly. _Defen:llniz his title for the fourth time and the first time in nearly 13 months, Robinson found himself
