Des Moines, Nov Salvatore Ruggirello, husky Italian heavyweight, continued his winning streak tonight when he knocked out Robert Lee in the third round of a planned ten-round bout.

The Italian slugger, weighing 205 pounds, proved too powerful for his game 192-pound foe from Price, Utah.

Lee attempted to exchange blows with the powerful Italian and. although he seemed to ce well in the first round, the Italian's terrific rights told in the second round. Lee was weak and badly battered when he ran into a right which sent him down for the full count in the third round—
