BRUCE WOODCOCK RETIRES IN THE FOURTH ROUND WITH BADLY CUT EYE

White City Stadium, London, June 6. — Lee Savold, aged 34, former American rancher, became the new World Heavyweight Cham- pion in the eyes of the boxing authorities on this side of the Atlantic here tonight.

His opponent, Bruce Woodcock, the Champion of Britain, was forced to retire at the end of the fourth round of their scheduled 15- round contest with a badly cut left eye.

The bad gash over Woodcock's left eye was opened by viclous left jabs from the American and ended the fight at a stage when the Englishman, if anything, was ahend on points.

Woodcock took the first two rounds.

Savold, however, touch as oak, did not even wince at the flurry of the blows which hit him our the jaw. Gradually he sized up his opponent. Woodcock had to have three stitches inserted in his injured eyo.
