SAN FRANCISCO, July 90
The California State Athletic
Commission voted today to re-
scind its working agreement with
the New York State Athletic Com
mission because Of moves of the
Eastern body to "monopolize"
championship fights.
The action was the result of
agreements which the New York
commission was reported to have
forced Henry Armstrong, welter-
weight champion, and Lew Jen-
kins, lightweight titleholder, to
sign, requiring them to make
their next title defense in New
York.
California and New York have
worked together for years, re-
naming apart from the National
Boxing Association.

BY LEWIS F. ATCHIsoN.

In the temporary absence Of George Huber.
We've heard lot of fish stories in
our time, some ripe, some terrible
and some downright falsehoods, but
the yarn spun by Joseph Feyis, jr.,
me hearties, wins today's can of
shad roe. It's about surf fishing
and If you have a yen for this par
ticular brand of casting lend an
ear, it may save a leg or a life.
1t happened four or five years ago
when Ferris was doing some surf
fishing on the coast. He took a
fancy to the sport one day while
lazily heaving his line from the
shore and in less time than it takes
to write about it Joe was an ardent
devotee Of surf casting. He pro-
gressed from the bare feet stage to
hip boots and waders as easily as a
child counts 10 and that brings us
to his fearful experience.
Il was standing in water up to
my waist this particular day and
having pretty good luck. I had
made several trips to shore with
catches and had just made another
cast when I felt a gentle push from
behind. It was something like a
wave tapping at my waistline.
felt it again but paid no attention.
But the third time it hit like foot
ball player throwing a block and
almost knocked me down.
Il turned with the blow and al
most jumped out of my boots at
the sight that greeted my eyes-a
vicious looking 6-foot shark. I was
panic-stricken-didnt know which
way to turn or what to do. I
wanted to yell although realized
it wouldn't do any good. There I
was weighed down with my fishing
regalia 80 or 10 yards from shore
with miles Of ocean tn front of me
and this mean looking creature be-
hind. Instinctively I used the butt
Of my rod as q weapon, swatting
and poking at the thing as it cir
cled around trying to nab me. I
had no knife and probably couldn't
have used it II I had one. tell you
I thought sure I was q goner.
But I made shore. How, I
couldn't say. It was just one Of
those things. I was whipped up In
a frenzy one minute, beating at the
shark with my pole and moving as
fast as my legs would permit and
the next thing I knew was on the
beach, safe and whole but trembling
like q leaf. I didn't bother to ind
out what happened to the shark,
I wasn't that interested.
Right then and there swore OF
surf fishing. Dropped my rod
where was standing and left 1t. I
don't ever want to try 1t again
even though my experience may
have been one In 100000
Fishing in this area, both salt and
fresh water, seems definitely to be
on the upgrade and should improve
daily, so If you've been holding
back you might as well cast OF now,
they're biting fine.
Marlin pickings still are slim 6n

ing Of going out to the Gulf Stream,
some 10 miles o6-shore, to try their
luck. Plenty Of blues, three or four
schools, bonita, sea bass. porgies
