Sugar Signs Title Match By JACK CUDDY United Press International NEW YORK (UPI) After a lapse 21 months, Sugar Ray Robinson will defend his "big portion" of the middleweight crown against Paul Pender at the Boston Garden, Dec. 5, "without a guarantee of any kind." "I've still got a big portion of the championship," said 39-year-old Ray today, "and I'm defending it without a guarantee because I've got a good percentage deal and because it'll help independent promoters." The promoters are Sam Silverman and Johnny Buckley of Boston.

Sleek, slender Robinson who signed Thursday night to defend against the Brookline, Mass, contendersaid, "I'm still recognized as champion in New York, Mas-sachusets, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Cuba, and continental Europe." Hopes To Extend Title He added, "and next year I hope to regain recognition everywhere." Robinson's defense against 29-year-old Pender will be his first since he recaptured the 160-pound title from Carmen Basilio at the Chicago Stadium, March 25, 1958. Because of his inactivity, the National Boxing Assn. vacated his title on May 4. Ex-champions Basilio of Chittenango, N.Y., and Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, are scheduled to fight for the NBA version of the title at San Francisco, Aug. 28.

Mrs. Regina Fischer of Brooklyn, N.Y., said she and her 16-year-old son, the youngest international grand master in the world, have saved nearly $2,000 half the amount needed to pay the expenses for the nearly two-month long tournament. "With another $2,000 Bobby could be sure of being able to take part in this tournament," Mrs.

Fischer said. Frank Brady, business manager of the U.S. Chess Federation, said that if the Fischers do not raise the money within a few days Bobby probably will not be able to participate. "Actually, the International Chess Federation has stated that formal notice of availability be forwarded to the federation's headquarters in Sweden by Aug. 5," Brady said.

"However, there is a degree of flexibility in the date and I'm sure that if Bobby raises the money by Aug. 10 his formal guarantee that he will play will be accepted." The candidates tournament is scheduled to begin in Bled, Yugoslavia on Sept. 6 and will last until Oct. 31. This" will be an elimination tournament and the winner will face the present world champion, Russia's Mikhail Bot-vinnik in 1960.

He won $500 which he is using to help defray the expenses of the upcoming Yugoslav trip if he can make it. College Accepts Negroes MEMPHIS, Tenn.
