By VERNON MORGAN
White City, London, Sept. 18.
Nino Valdes of Cuba took only nine minutes to dispose of Don Cockell (Britain) in their World Heavyweight title fight oliminator here tonight, the referee stopping the contest at the end of the third round owing to the condition of Cöckell's left eye.
The British and Empire Heavyweight Champion's left eye was streaming blood at the end of the third round and referee Captain Charles Davidson had no hesitation In promptly stopping the contest and awarding the fight to the Cuban.
