TZIE GUARDIAN“: Cl-IARLOTTETOWN

Round Knockout Over Cerdan For World Title

(By lock Hind)

DETROIT, June 16--(AP)-—Jake La Motto of the Bronx, 8-to-5 underdog, tonight Won the world's middleweight boxing championship from Marcel Cerdan of Casablanca by a 10th-round knockout.

The referee, Johnny Webber, and Dr. Joseph Cahnlan, stopped the fight after the ninth round. Under Michigan rules it thus became a 10th-round knockout.

Cerdan‘: left hand was injured early in the fight. The doctor stop- ped the light because of this in- jury, suffered when Cerdan threw a hook in the first round.

The Casablanca clouter, who won the title from Tony Zale last Sep- tember, took a bad beating from La Motta, who has been chasing the title for many years.

La Motto weighed 158 1-4, Cer- dun 159 1-4 for the once-postponed fight.

La Motta fought like a champ- ionrcurrylng the attack to Cerdun all the way. He fought-just as he said he would—"the fight of his life."

favor of Ls Motto. Ho gave only one round to Cordon. Judge Pete Miller scored the fifth and sixth_ for Cerdan and called two even, for La Motto’: point margin of 48- 42, Joe Lenuhan, the other judge, gave Cerdan the second and fourth and one even for a 49-41 edge for the new champion.

Cerdan claimed he hurt his shoulder shortly before he fell and war half-pushed to the canvas near the close of the first round. He thought he might be able to con- tlnuo and beat La Motta with one hand. That was a bad mistake. When he did try to throw one left-hand punch in the fourth, the pain was so intense that he never tried again. Referee Webber said he heard "something snap." According to Dr. Vincent Nar- dlello of the New York State Ath- letic Commission, Cerdan suffered a "tear of the supra-splnatous muscle of the left shoulder."

A Glorious Victory

It was a glorious victory for rugged Jake, who entered the ring an underdog because of several re- cent poor fights. He had been beat- en by Laurent Dauthuiile of France at Montreal in February and won a highly-disputed decis- ion from Frenchie Robert Villemain March 25.

This was the "new" La Mutts. He threw punches from bell to bell with none of his customary rest periods before a disappointingly- small crowd.

Chairman Eddie Eagan of the New York State Athletic Commis- sion came into La Mama's dressing room after the bout to say "con- gratulations champ." He laid La Motta probably will be recognized

The crowd of some 15,000, rabldly for La Motta, gave Jake a terrific hand as he climbed out of the ring.

He is bound to give Cerdan a return match, probably in New York. '

Cerdan's handlers said it was Marcel's shoulder and not his hand that was injured.

The doctor said later he did not stop the fight but that Lew Bur- ston and Jo Longman, Gordon's handlers. did. He said he asked him to look at the injured left shoulder but he could find nothing in super- ficial examination,
