Sigilio Fights

Bypnitcd Press

BIZ Emitted Press
CHICAGO, July Chicago's
fistic circles, quiet since Barney Ross
quit fighting here as soon as he
won title, were in an uproar again
today over Davey Day and frankie
Sigilio, two neighborhood boys from
the west side who aspire to the light
weight crown.
They battled ten rounds to a draw
last night at Mills Stadium before
1852 paid customers. The net re-
ceipts were s9,321.86. Each weighed
1862.
1t was the most spectacular fight
staged in Chicago this year and saw
the tide of battle shift from one
to another. Day was on the floor
for a nine count in the second
round battered from pillar to post
in the fourth and was weak and
weary when he came up for the
| seventh.
Sigilio was down three times, once
each in the eighth, ninth and tenth
rounds, after a spectacular rally by
Day which enabled him to get a
draw. The referee, Little Phil
Collins, gave the fight to Day by a
narrow margin of STAG. One OF
the judges, Ed Hintz. gave it to
Sigilio, SO to Az. The other judge,
William Battye, called it a draw
Sigilios record of never having
been beaten since he turned pro-
fessional remained intact He has
won seventeen bouts, and fought
two draws. Day has won all but
two Of his thirty-four professional
bouts.
Ross, lightweight, junior welter-
weight champion, staged a four
round exhibition with Phil Rafferty,,
New York. They used ten-ounce
gloves and each wore a head pro-
tector.

ZOE WAITE is back from a two
- weeks stay sixty miles north of
Sault Ste. Marie, where fish are
fish and fishermen are glad Of it.
The bass and pike hit best on
the Heddon queen, a spoon lure, and
the trout, all native brooks, were
fond of small, dry flies, while the
vicious black flies were fond of Joe
The pike averaged about five
pounds and the small mouths about
a pound smaller. Lee Winders has
mounted one representative speci-
men Of small mouth which weighed
four pounds.
Canada has advanced ideas about
the use of live minnows for bait,
Joe found. In the first place, it was
impossible to buy them near his
camp, so he hied forth with tiny
hook and caught them himself.
That was perfectly all right, as
was the use of the minnows in the
lake where they were caught, but
when Joe started to move to another
body of water, the ranger said nix.
The bait must be used in the water
where it's caught to prevent intro
duction of strange breeds of fish in
other lakes, the ranger explained.
Canada doesn't want the carp, for
one, to spread any farther.
MANY states are taking the same
AA stand on the minnow uues-
ton. The practice of dumping
minnows from buckets at the end
Of the days fishing has seriously
hurt many fine waters that never
had been cursed with carp or gar.
We can expect a lot of new laws
and restrictions along this lines in
the next few years, and it behooves
us to understand the why's and
wherefors and cooperate instead of
kicking.
AT least one private fishing lake
near indianapolis forbids the use
OF minnows for the reasons set
forth above.

fishing, should hasten to explain.
Twenty-Five bass took his hair

went on the stringer and the rest
we're carefully released. The biggest
was four pounds and three were
better than two pounds. All were
large mouths. A siX-pound dog fish
didn't want to miss the fun and
furnished lots Of excitement before
the precious bait, the only one
within miles. could be rescued.
Other anglers paved frantically
through tackle boxes in an effort
TO duplicate the lure. which was the
only gadget the cranky bass seemed
to want.
AT one point during the frolic the
line became tangled around Bob'S
neck and the bait dangled over the
side of the boat a few inches from
the water. A two and one-half
FOUNDER couldn't wait and grabbed
it with a frantic leap To avoid
