shots from the backcourt with Shel

der the basket. Natkong’s basket

SUGAR RAY WANTS
CHANCE TO CLAIM
LIGHT HEAVY TITLE
CHICAGO, Feb. 1(3 —'.•l'1— Sugar
Ray Robinson would like to stack
the light heavyweight boxing crown
on top of two others he claims to
wear.
Robinson, welterweight champion
since late in 1946. blasted Jake La
Motta out from under the middle
weight championship Wednesday
night and inherited La Motta';
title.
He and his manager, George i
Gainford, immediately said they1
wanted more of the same from Joey
Maxim, light heavyweight champ.
They also decided that Robin . r
-'ill held his welterweight champ
ionship.
This didn't jibe with the thinking
of spokesmen for both the New
York and Illinois Athletic Commis
sions. They insisted Sugar Ray au
tomatically abdicated as welter king
when his hand was raised above
the stricken La Motta aftt-r 13 bruis
ing rounds in the Chicago Stadium.
Nonetheless, Gainford, referring tc
Robinsons welterweight champion
ship, said: "It's up to us to give it
rp.” Robin'on deferred to his men
tor’s view, but admitted making the
147-pound welterweight limit agaii
would be rough on him. He weighed
155 to 160 for La Motta in their
title bout.
A return match for the middle
i- eight championship between Rob
:ison and La Motta is doubtful. Bqt
he has a contractural right to fight
for the title within 90 days.
