(By The Associated Press)
YANKEE STADIUM, New York. Sept. 23—-1ke Williams successfully defended his lightweight title by knocking out Jesse Flores in two minutes. and four seconds of the i0th round tonight in a scheduled 15-round bout. Each weighed 1S-i-‘fi_ ‘°
It. was Williams‘ fight all the way, though it took him several rounds before he solved his Stock- ton. caiif. opponent's style.
Flores was floored four time: before the final knockout. He went down twice in the fifth roundnvas flattened for a nine-count in the eighth and was dropped again in the ninth round.
A crowd of 18.000 saw the bout. which was preceded by a 10- round non-title affair in which welterweight champion Ray Rob- inson outpointed Kid Gavilan c-f Cuba.
Flores, whose reach was longer than the champions, used his left hand with affect in keeping Wil- llams at bay off and on.
But his long reach and his constant, back-pedalling were of no avail when the hard-punching champion found his mark.
Fighting in a cold autumn wind, the pair started slowly but Flores soon found that Williams had a vicious left. He attempted to keep arway from the champion and spent the better part of the fight on his bicycle.
The decision was unanimous in the Robinson-Gavilan bout. Rob- inson weighed 15056. Gaviiah 148%.
Referee Eddie Joseph gave the champion seven rounds to Gav- ilan‘s three. Judge Arthur Ard- lello called it 6-4 and Judge Frank For-hes 7-2-11.
A large Latin contingent in the upper stands booed the decision lustily, but Robinson's victory ap- pearecl clean cut. The Associated Press score sheet read six for Robinson, two for Gavilan and two even.
Neither fighter was out, knock- ed down c-r even momentarily -bady hurt, despite the fast pace and the heavy punishment hand- ed out by both men.
Gavilan was promised a champ- ionship bout with Robinson in Deccmber if'he made a good showing tonight. and he at least tried hard all the way,
The victory (was Robinson's 48th straight.

Addressing a group of Amherst sportsmen, Brig. Reid said that in 1952 fewer officials and more athletes should make up the Can- adian Olympic team.
l-le said he would be opposed in future to Maritime athletes going to Montreal for Olympic trials.

SHAUGIDIESSY HEIGHTS GOLF CLUB, Vancouver, Sept. 23 — (CPi-Dopper Dick Metz of Vir- ginia Beach. Va., today beat par and rain for the second successive day to take a two-stroke lead 51L the half-way mark in the Canad- lan open golf championship. Two Canadians loomed as powerful threats.
Metz. with 138. still did not. have much leeway. At least half a dozen other golfers. including Fred Wood of Shaughnessy and Stan Leonard of Vancouver, could take over the leadership before the 72-1101: tournament ends Saturday.
Leonard finished with a one un- der-par 71 for a total of 143. Wood posted the same count.
Metz' closest rivals were ‘Herman Keiser of Springfield. ‘Mo, and Johnny Palmer of Badin. N.C.. each at 140.
Metz set the pace with a sen- sational eagle three at the first hole. He chipped out from more than 100 feet awayfrom the pin He was over par at one hole. fin- ishlng strongly in a deluge of rain.
Palmer shot a three-under-(pav- Gil-the only man to break ‘l0. Putting remarkably over the wet greens. Palmer was never over par. He shot three birdies and was par for the other l5 holes.
Keiser found the second nine toughest and came in with '73. one 0V8‘ pill‘.
Bill Nary of Phoenix. Aria. who shot a 67 for the first 1B yesterday to bring about a three-way open- ing day tie with Metz and Keiser, was erratic on the first nine. He settled down to make the turn in 38 and came home in par 35 for a 36-hole total of 141.
Ellsworth Vines of lowa City. who opened with a 68 yesterday might have caught Metz but for a disastrous seven at the 11th. There he drove out of bounds and took a penalty. finishing with '13 to tie Narv at 141.

(By The Canadian Press)
The Yankees’ drive to make it a three-way tie for the American Lgague lead sliced into the rough yesterday as the New Yorkers suffered a 4-2 loss to Chicago White Sox in their final some in the west.
As a result of the defeat, the 1M7 world chrmpions dropped a full game behind Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians as they started home to begin an all-im- portant three-game series with the Boston club in New York t0- dflil. . - ' With only eight games remain- ing on the schedule for each of the contending clubs, Boston and Cleveland have won 91 and lost 55 games each and the Yanks have won 9O and lost 56. The Yankees and Red Sox mett five times in their remaining eight games while Clevfiland finishes against Detroit and Chicago.
The combination of a all-year- old southpaw, Frank Papish, and chilly. windy weather that llmltnd the crowd to 2.746 stopped the Bronx Bombers today. Paplsh yielded only six hits while Ed Lopat, who prefers to pitch in hc-t weather, gave up five painful blows and three runs in the fourth inning.
After each team scored a run in the third inning, the Sox set- tied things in the fourth when five hits were combined with a passed ball to produce Chicago's three runs.
Bob Porterlield took over the pitching chores for the Yankees after that inning and stopped the Sox with only one more hit.
The game ended the season's series bet/ween the two clubs with the Yankees winning 16 games and the sox six.
Detroit Tigers rubbed out a 7-2 fifth-inning deficit, coming from behind to beat Philadelphia Ath- letics 3-7 with two big runs in the ninth.
