Kobinson, who is considered pei- liapc, the greatest wclieiweigin tlie ring has ever know, was honurab* ly discharged from the army lust June under what some considered seigufbrly mysterious circumstances No one had been told up until last week exactly just what took place mat got Robuisu back on the side walks in civilian attire with an hon orable discharge. It will be recalled that last spring Sgt. Joe Louis and Robinson had just completed a morale tour of army camps in the United Slates and were set to sail fur Europe to put on exhibitions fur fighting men of the allies in that war zone. But and were set to sail for Europe to put on exhibitions for fighimg men of the allies in that war zone. But the boat sailed minus Sugar. Hay was sent later to Fort Jay on Gov ernor’s Island and from there he was later transferred to Halloran Hospital. AUhought the army offic ially kept quiet about his being there until Louis and his troupe of uniformed boxers arrived in Eng land April, the whereabouts of the spectacular 147 pounder were com mon knowledge in Harlem fighting and night club circles. Robinson, it has been said, got his discharge under Section 3 of army regulations filS-348> which means that he was honorably discharged for, in the terms of the army, “inept ness." The word, “ineptness," iias been found to be, upon a diligent study of distionaries and thesaurus, to mean various things, including, uselessness, incapability, dullness, and, failure to catch on. which all sides up under a category that may be identified by those in the know by plain '’crary." Now everybody who has any knowledge at all of Ray Robinson knows that Ray is not crazy. In fact, the Harlem slugger is one of the smartest little business men boxing has ever known and the mistake in the whole matter belongs definitely to the army, not to Ray — if a mis- I begun lather slowly 'in iMiiri;an jiimpiiig into u 2-0 id till .1 .>;( t shot by Irvin, S.
