It Was "Do Or Die" For Sugar Ray
In 10th Round As He Regains Title
- By JACK CUDDY
w NEW YORK. Sept. 13 (UP) -
Sugar Ray Robinson said today
it was "do or die" in the bloody
10th round when he recaptured
the middleweight crown from
Randy Turpin on a technical
knockout in their $1,000,000
fight. But he was willing today
to give the young Englishman
a "rubber" shot at the title.
An electrified crowd of 61,370
.«at the Polo Grounds saw 31-
year-old Robinson shoot the
works in the 10th round last
night, saw him floor Randy for
a count of nine, and then batter
him into such helplessness on
the ropes that Referee Ruby
Goldstein stopped the bout at
2:52 of that session.
Just when Sugar Ray launch-
ed his desperate assault it seem-
ed he would fail to win back the
K 160-pound title from the lad
from Leamington, Eng., who had
outpointed Robinson for the
crown at London on July 10.
Although 23-year-old Randy

was slightly behind, in the gen-
eral scoring, he had come on to
win the 8th and 9th rounds, and
had re-opened a deep gash in
Robinson's left brow early in
the 30th. The 10-stitch cut,
which had been suffered origi-
nally in July at London, was
bleeding so profusely that the
faces of both Negroes were
smeared \yith blood when the
somewhat faded Harlem hotshot
opened his terrific attack.
Ray staggered the confident,
powerful 23-year-old Briton wilh
a straight right to the chin. He
drove him into the ropes with a
barrage of hooks to the head.
Thev came off thp ropes and
Robinson dropped him flat on
his back with a right to the jaw
for the count of nine.
At Least 20 Blows
When Randy rose groggily,
Sugar Ray tore into him with a
savage hooking attack to the
head that again drove him into
the roDes. There Robinson land-
ed at least 20 blows with all his
power to head and body until
the helpless Briton finally
lurched forward into the arms of
Referee Goldstein.
It was a dramatic ending to
one of the most remarkable
matches in ring history — an
international fight that sold out
every seat from which the ac-
tion could be watched and turn-
ed away more than 10,000. Many
of the rejected stormed the
steel gates.
When last night's return bout
was signed, Promoter Jim Nor-
ris anticipated a crowd of 35,000
and a gross gate of $400,000.
But it drew 61,370 and $767,630.
The crowd was the largest for
any fight anywhere since 1938,
when Joe Louis and Max Sch-
meling attracted 70,000 to their
second bout. Last night's gate
was the largest ever drawn by
fighters weighing less than hea-
vyweights in ring history. Light
heavyweights Paul Berlenbach
and Jack Delaney set the former
record of $461,789 at Ebbets
Field, Brooklyn in 1926.
Robinson was slightly ahead
in the official scoring when he
achieved his 129th victory and
his 85th knockout in 132 profes-
sional fights.
Referee Goldstein had the
fight even, going into the 10th
round. He had scored four
rounds for each and one even.
Dallas, Roughs Lose
By United Press
The Dallas Eagles and Beau-
mont's Roughnecks will be gun-
ning for revenge tonight as
Texas League playoff series
shift to their home parks.
Both clubs lost one-run deci-
sions last night in the second
games of the four-of-seven series.
Dallas fell, 3 to 2, at San An-
tonio and Beaumont was nosed
out. 5 to 4, by the Houston Buf-
faloes.
The Eagles kicked away num-
erous scoring opportunities.
They outhit the Missions, 8 to 5,
ant! collected five extra-base
blows, including solo home runs
by Herb Conyers and pinch hit-
ter Roy Sanner.
San Antonio now leads the se-
ries. two games to none.
The Houston Buffs, regular-
season victors, knotted their se-
ries with Beaumont on a single
innings' uprising. The big
outburst came in the fourth
frame and was good for all five
Buff runs.
Jerry Witte, the circuit's home-
run king, provided the heaviest
punc'* for Houston. He drove in
two runs with a pinch-hit single,
one of seven Buff safeties.
