ROBINSON MAKES RETURN TO FORM (N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) MILWAUKEE, April 15. “Sugar” Ray Robinson, the former world middle-weight champion, showed some of his old fire last night by beating Ted Olla on a technical knock-out in the third round of a scheduled 10-round bout. It was a bright spot on the come-back trail for Robinson, who had had only indifferent success since returning to the ring from a brief song and dance career. Olla, of Milwaukee, was helpless against the ropes and bleeding from the nose and mouth when the referee stopped the bout in the third round.
