Strib|ine's Decision
Over cooper His 9Th
Victory Of Year

Ken Stribling is putting together
q nice little winning string. The
local colored middleweight fighter
now has six 1947 triumphs, marred
only by draw against Al Wright
back in January. He added to his
list last night by decisively decision
ing Billy Cooper of New Jersey in
the 10-round main event at Tur-
ner's Arena. It was the first indoor
card of the winter season and at
tracted a turnout Of LILO customers
who paid a gross gate of $2,107.73
and a net Of $1,563.87.
Stribling made the fight most of
the way. Cooper showed plenty of
respect for Stribling's punching
prowess by keeping inside, but got
the worst Of it. However, 1t would
have been worse had he indulged
in long-range slugging at which
Stribling shines.
Two f1rst-round knockouts spiced
the prelim card. Puggy King used q
stiff right to stop Red Gaddis, who
previously had drawn with Puggy,
and Kid Wolfe ended his losing
string by stopping George Brooks
Also a KO winner was Sunny Boy
Bum over Billy Terry in the fourth
round. In other bouts Tommy Lar
ner won over Angelo Marini and
Lucky Stephens topped Buddy
Thomas, both in four-rounders.

conditions should be more propitious

Black bass fishing has picked up
in both the Shenandoah and Poto-
mac Rivers over the week end. The
waters are clearing according to
reports, some of the moss Is letting
60 from the bottom and drifting
out, opening up new fishing water.
Reports coming from Triadelphia
Reservoir also are somewhat more
encouraging, cool nights having
chilled the waters to make the fish
more active. Barring more bad
weather. we'd say the fishing should
be much improved after the first
of next week.
We have just completed a tour Of
many of the large fishing tackle
manufacturing companies. OF inter-
est to anglers is the fact that fresh
water fishing reels and split bamboo
rods in all probability will continue
to be scarce commodities during
most of next year. Shortages of cer-
tain types of steel from which these
reels are made and a lack of sea-
soned bamboo of proper quality, plus
a general lack of skilled labor, are
main reasons. Many of these COM
panies are working double shifts,
farming out jobs in an effort to
catch up. But the tremendous de-
mand built up over the war years
will take some time to satisfy. Moral
take good care of that reel and
