Toe unanimous verdict made it two straight for the kid over the | Trenton, N.J., Negro. As soon as the rip-roaring battle was over, Robinson told Harry | Markson, managing director of the 20th Century S.C., “Harry, I'll fight | Gavilan for you.” | Markson, however, knows full that getting Sugar Ray to tract and carry it out is & lot diff it than a nice oral go-ahead. The 147-pound champicn is a fast talker but a slow signer. Nevertheless Markson has hopes |that Robinson means business this |time.
