NEW YORK, Sept. %. CUP)-
The real tipoff on how hard Joe
Louis hit Bob Pastor is to be found
in the public utterances now being
made by the challenger, even after
three days of ice packs, smelling
salts, and loving care by his wife
and relatives.
His gray cells apparently still are
bouncing about like confetti in
a breeze and have yet to settle
down in their customary places, be-
cause he is demanding another fight
with the champion. Not only Is
Pastor demanding another and third
meeting with his private enemy No.
l but he is justifying it on the
grounds that it would be a rubber
match.
Il still say won that first fight"
he tells reporters. THAT makes
it one for me and one for him. The
next one will be the clincher and
I'll win it."
OF course he didn't win the first
one, any more than he did the one
in Detroit Wednesday night. He
simply survived in the first meeting
by running like a deer in a glade
In Detroit he chose to move for
ward instead of backward and this
decision, while q courageous one,
left him slumped over the canvas,
out of his head and out of the
fight.
What does Pastor figure to win
with in a third meeting? He has
exhausted all means of defense and
his offense is trifling thing that
cannot possibly cause Louis any
trouble. Bob hit Louis with his
Sunday-go-to-meeting punch in the
eighth round and it didn't even
slow up the champion
Pastor isn't the first Louis victim
to speak through his bandages like
an Egyptian mummy come to life
and ask for another dose of the
colored boys fiss. Schmeling did
it, Galento did it, and so did half
dozen others. Why do the boys
act this way?
My theory is that he hits them
SO hard they feel no pain and have
no recollection of being badly pun
ished. Pastor indicated that this
was true when he admitted after
the Deroit fight that it was not
until the sixth round that he knew
where he was. The rights and
lefts that Louis nailed him with in
the first round paralyzed his mental
processes and the first five rounds
were blanks.

Deep-sea fishing this week hit
a new high in San Diego offshore
waters when on Wednesday 81 pas
sengers fishing on the Mascot III
made a phenomenal catch of 283
white sea bass, 5 yellowtail and 1873
barracuda. High man brought TO
gaff 80 white sea bass. the largest
of which scaled 80 pounds. A spot
near the Coronado Islands pro-
duced the piscatorial bonanza.
Inspired by this unusual achieve
ment, Bill Clements and Roy Ham,
mond, ace El Centro fishermen,
embarked on the same boat Thurs
day but unfortunately the ocean
currents had changed and the To-
cal men returned home empty
handed. Hammond landed two
huge bonito but was so disappoint-
ed that he left them ON the boat
One of the outstanding sports
fishing accomplishments of the
week was the taking last Monday
of 125 pound giant black bass,

pound test line-regulation yellow

cidentally Kinne returned home
with his share of the days catch
which amounted to white sea-
bass, 8 yellowtail and numerous
barracuda and bonito. The latter
were of large size, scaling from
10 to Is pounds each.
Shippers of live-bait boats which
ply from the embarcadero to the
Mexican Coronados are freely pre-
dieting that ocean fishing will be
good for several weeks yet, altho
changing currents will occasion

Imperial Valley cat-fishing en-
thusiasts are patiently awaiting the
annual west wind which inevitably
will bring cooler weather. Reliable
sources report plentiful supply of
big cats in the Colorado, near I'M

stretches of New river and the

who have prospected potential fall

now is the big blow" which will

Scrimnage Reveals
Team Weaknesses

Coaches T. S. Walker and Albert
Klein of Holtville and Imperial
high schools, looked into their little
black books Saturday and mapped
practice sessions for next week.
In their little black books were
a few of the miSplays which cropped
up Friday night in an hour-long
scrimmage between the Imperial
and Holtville elevens on Viking
field.
Holtville ran over Imperial with
out great deal of trouble Friday
night, but the Viking linemen and
backs left much to be desired in
the task of blocking.
Imperial's backfield made good
showing in the scrimmage but the
line demonstrated an abundance of
weaknesses, particularly at ends and
tackles.
Wallace Brackenbury intercepted
one pass to make a good return,
but Holtville completed tWo-thirds
of its passes attempted to chalk up
long gains. Sanbonmatsu and
Looney did most of the passing.
Holtville used deceptive reverses
and passes off reverse plays to good
advantage. Imperial used straight
power plays for the most part, with
a few passes from single wing
formation.
Both coaches were satisfied with
shoWings of their charges in the
first scrimmage-but neither would
admit as much to newspapers.

San Franciscos Seals had lost
their sassiness today and were prac-
tically out of the running for the
extra money that accrues to the
winner of the Pacific coast league
playoff.
Sacramento made it three out of
four wins last night when they
slapped the Seals down by a to O
count with young Nick Strincevich
handing out just five hits, two of
went to Dom DiMaggio.
Sunday the teams will play dou-
-header-maybe. If Sacramento
wins the first game, there won't be
a second, for the Seals will have
automatically dropped out of the
playoff
Strincevich exhibited some more
