Camp Roberts, Calf. (ANP) -
Army engineers solved a discom-
forting problem for one of Uncle

Assn.
When the 6-foot, 5-inch Baylor
reported here to begin two weeks
Of training as an army reservist,
he found he could not rest proper
ly because the standard army cot
assigned to him was too short. A
solution had to be found, and so
the engineers got the call.
The problem was solved when
two cots were welded together,
end-to-end for Baylor.
Baylor was in training with the
63rd Infantry Division.
The Negro star and NBA one
game scoring record holder ex-
pected to go into training immedi-
ately with the Lakers upon his re-
lease from reserve training.

STRUGGLE ONWARD

The conclusion was that the
bluegills had so much salad by
late summer that they turned
the cold shoulder to the ang-
ler's entree - the worm. No
body carries a sandwich to a
banquet, and the same is true
in fish land, to the dismay of
anglers who yearn for a trophy
to gather dust over the mantle.
But perverse people that fish
ermen are. they continue
cranking up their Mercury out
boards and struggling against
they know not what. And,
luckily for them and for the
wives who await their return,
just as often as not they'll run
into a cranky bass with indi-
gestion who will strike a lure
out of spite, even though he
is crammed with food.
And home they come, holding
the prize on high. convinced
they have solved the problem
of why fish won't bite.

Los Angeles (ANP) - Pickets

The line was composed of both
Negroes and whites.
Although $1,000 sports lovers
turned out for the game, which
gave the Rams a victory of. 26-7
over the Washington team, the
crowd was the smallest for a Ram

Roanoke, Va. (ANP) - AL
though it later withdrew its re-
quest to Negro players to boycott
an exhibition game between the
Baltimore Colts and Pittsburgh
Steelers because of segregated
seating arrangements, the NAACP
last week succeeded in throwing
the spotlight on the issue of racial
segregation.
The NAACP had wired the Ne
gro players, including such stars
as ace halfback Lenny Moore of
the Colts and defensive star Gene
big Daddy Lipscomb of the
Steelers, requesting that they re-
fuse to play in the game in Victory
Stadium Saturday night, Aug.
12).
AS in the case Of the Houston
(Tex.) Tournament of Champions
when Negro track stars were pre-
vailed upon by the organization
and persuaded to boycott the track
meet because of similar seating
arrangements, the Negro football
players appeared ready to heed the
request, despite speculations to the
contrary.
It was rumored that Lipscomb.
for one, had stated that he had to
go along with his race"
The boycott request was with
drawn by the NAACP following a
conference with officials Of the
two teams and the sponsoring
Roanoke Chamber Of Commerce,
No details OF the conference
were available at presstime Fri
day, but it was believed the chari-
ty aspects of the game influenced
the decision by the NAACP to
withdraw its request.
Afterwards, National Football
League Comr. Pete Rozelle issued
a statement calling racial segrega-
ton "repugnant" but adding that
the Negro players should compete
because Of the charity involved"
which will be a real benefit to
children of all races"

decided here last week as he grant

said his wife was so fastidious
she would disinfect his suit if a

Away also testified that all
food in the house had to be canned

Also, before bedtime she took so

Yes and no. depending upon

it the way he holds his mouth?
Is 1t the fish? Or just what?
A partial answer is probably
the best well ever have, and
some fish management biolo-
gists in Minnesota have offered
that. They found that catches
by anglers are directly related
to the fishes available food
supply.
Low food supply meant many
bites. High food supply - few
bites. In this particular study
the catch Of bluegills fell off as
the summer advanced because

darlings built up during this

SiffoFd Had His
BiqqeSf Year In so

Akron (ANP) - C1gar-smoRng
Charlie Sifford, the long distance
hitting Negro professional cham
pion, will play in Alxron's Amer
lean Golf classic, August 21-27, at
the Firestone Country club.
The four-day, 72-hole tourna-
ment with $4,000 in prizes is be-
ing sponsored by the same group
that successfully staged the 1860
PGA Championship in Akron. The
Junior League of Akron. The Ak
ron Junior Chamber of Commerce
and the Akron Beacon Journal
Charity Fund.
Sifford is coming by invitation
of the local sponsors. He was
chosen among a group Of ten golf
ers selected by the Golf Writer'S
Association of America.
No Stranger To Akron
Sifford is no stranger either to
Akron or the Firestone golf course.
For several years he appeared in
the Rubber City Open and one year
was a first round sensation as he
finished well up among the leaders.
During play here he usually finds
time to meet with the Tire Town
Golf Clubbers who are among his
most avid fans.
The five-time National Negro
champion started play with the
pros on the PGA circuit in 1858.
He is the first Negro to win a
PGA scheduled tournament, the
Long Beach Open in 1857, where
he defeated Eric Mont in a three
hole, sudden death playoff. To the
first prize of $1,000 he added $500
for a low final round of "64."
Won $4,000 In 1860
Money-wise Sifford had his best
year among the pros in 1860 col
lecting around $14,00 almost So
900 of it on the PGA circuit. One
noteworthy victory during the
year was the non-PGA scheduled
Almedan Open in California which
fielded such luminaries as Ken
Ventura, Bob Rosburg, and Jim
Clark. Sifford shot 2S1 for a tie
with Bill Eggers and then took
the match with a birdie on the
first extra hole.
Sifford is doing all right for
himself this year, reports classic
officials. I'VE thought our invita-
ton would never catch up with
him because he has been doing a
lot of travelling and lot Of play
ing. But sure enough when our
letter reached. him in Michigan
where he was playing in the Flint
Open, we received an immediate
acceptance"
Charles record for 1861 has
him in the money more frequently
than ever. To date he has added
to his purse in ten tournaments.
His biggest winnings were in the
Lucky International Open, Home
and the Sun Open, and the Green's
boro Open Invitatonal.

out the joint. But the people in
Flttsourgh passed. They didn't
want him.
The legend of the Sugar Man
has been razed. The bluffs have
seen him lose twice to Paul Pender
and they watched Fullmer bull
him and turn him out of his style
with awkward lunges. This is Just
another washed-up fighter making
a pay day with his name. But Rob-
inson never thought it could hap
pen to him. They would never
push him around.
1t was always on his mind even
when he was pulling down the i'm
portant touches and was the great
est fighter of his generation. He
talked about Tony Canzoneri and
grieved because they remembered
him as a guy the kids coming up
were savaging. 1t bugged him
because Canzoneri had hung on
too long and his prestige had dim
inished in the bluffs memories. 1t
wouldn't be this way with the
Sugar Man. He knew what he was
doing. They would never trap him.
There is always big talk. He is
going to be an opera singer or
there is a part in a movie for him
or he is going out again with a
cafe act. The saloon in Harlem is
getting a good play and there are
other propositions he can handle.
But it always gets down to boxing
Those close to him claim he is
holding a stack and doesn't have
to fight. No one can count the
other guys money. So you never
can tell.
Born To Be Conspicuous
He enjoys driving the flashy
cars and wearing the crazy clothes
and taking the bows and hearing
them shout his name when the an
nouncer gets him into a ring to
take a bow in a fight club. He is
a man born to be conspicuous.
Maybe he can't tolerate obscure
ty. But he knows how tough the
fight racket can be. He saw it hap
pen to Joe Louis, and he swore
to me it never would be that way
with him.
Fifteen G's isn't much when you
clock how fast Robinson goes.
Once he got that much for train
ing expenses. He's smart and he
knows all the angles. But he made
one hell of a mistake when Jack
Bergen, the admiral who runs the
Garden, offered him $500,000
against a percentage to fight Car
men Basilio. He walked away from
it and said he could make more
scratch from another outfit.
He was dealing with Archie
Moore and mentioning millions.
But Moore moved away from him
and took Yvon Durelle in Canada
and Basilio decided to box Fullmer.
There was no one big for Robin
son to fight and he finally settled
for Paul Pender who beat him out
of the championship in Boston for
$S5, 900.
It's long way down from $780,
900 to $4,000. The matches are
getting smaller now. Why would
man as proud as Robinson do it
if he wasn't tapped out? He un-
derstands what these final fights
do to a guy but he seems to have
forgotten all he knew.
Never forget this. In the years
when he had it, there wasn't a
middleweight who wouldn't have
had his hands full with Ray Rob-
inson. I include Stanley Ketchel
and Mickey Walker. But that was
a long time ago, as far as $500, 900
is from $4,000.

Ogden, Itah-It was all very
clear to Ray Robinson then, the
Sugar Man had the racket cased,
You make the big scores and hold
onto them. You go as long as your
skills are working, but not a round
further. You quit while you're still
ahead.
He had it figured right but it
went wrong. The investments turn
ed bad after he packed it in. The
joints where he danced didn't want
him after he made one swing
around. He left show business when
he ran out of stages to hoof on
and fought again. He had enough
to get himself $4,000 1t was
the most lucrative comeback in
all the ages of sports.
The taxes took plenty but Rob-
inson can't be busted. But he's stin
selling his reputation in the racket
he despises. He made close to
100000 the last time with Gene
Fullmer in Las Vegas. 1t wasn't
close and he was fortunate to last
the fifteen rounds.
1t is as though Robinson thinks
the middleweight championship
Gene F'ullmer and Florentino Fern
andez fought for here Saturday
night permanently belongs to him.
He has won it and lost it six times
but he suggests a man trying to
get back a precious heirloom that
has been stolen from him. He re-
CARDS this title as his personal
property. The promoters don't
agree with him but, inside, Robin
son is forever a champion.
In the years of his greatness
Robinson treated promoters with
contempt. He conned some and
stalled others and generally got
his way. But this time he came
to Madison Square Garden and
they weren't sure they wanted to
give him a date. This time they
made the terms.
You sure you want to fight
again." asked Harry Marltson, the
boxing director of the Garden.
Harry" replied Robinson, I'm
going to win the title"
They Didn't Hassle
There wasn't much argument
this time. They explained they had
an open date on Sept. 9. They
didn't haggle. They would give him
$4,000 for the shot and he would
be in there with the winner of the
DuIio Nunez-Denny Meyer scuffle.
You remember how George Gain
ford, who helps him with nego-
tiations, described Robinson's
greatness when you heard about it..
There are no small matches for
Robinson" Gainford said. only
big ones"
This one is just another fight on
the television schedule. Originally,
the Garden intended to put it into
the new arena in Pittsburgh. In
other years Robinson did promot-
ers a favor when he fought for
them. They didn't like him, but

cIuy Wonts To
Be Good Looking.
Youthful chomp

| LOulSNLllc NAANEJ OIIIlcE
Olympic champion Cassius Clay
has two major aims as a boxer:
He wants to emulate champion
Floyd Patterson and become
heavyweight champion by the time
he is 21, and he wants to retire
a good looking fighter.
Clay, still only 1S and unbeaten
in eight professional bouts, ex-
pressed the twin ambitions in an
interview here recently. Somewhat
peeved at sports writers who crit
icize him for being overly eau
tious, the Louisville slugger," as
he is nicknamed by hometown ad-
mirers, spoke his peace about why
he wants to retain his good looks.
He said:
Il have two things in mind when
I go into a fight. I'm going in
there to fight just hard enough to
win and I'm going to keep from
getting beaten and bloody.
Wants No CauliflOwer Ears, Ugly
Scars
He added:
when I retire from the fight
game I'm going to retire with few
scars. want to stay good looking
all my life"
If he continues to box cleverly,
chances are he will achieve this
objective. So far Cassius, who can
box and slug but prefers to, box,
has only one scar to show for his
ring wars. And he has been in
with some pretty rugged fellows.
Follows Sugar Rays Example
His victims include Alonzo John
son, one of the better light heavy
weight fighters. Future opponents
include free-swinging Alex Miteff
of Argentina, and Cassius has ex-
pressed the desire to fight Eddie
Machen, the No. 3 heavyweight
contender, and Harold Johnson, the
NBA light heavyweight champion.
He also feels no aversion about
meeting heavyweight champion
Patterson soon.
He wants to fight Machen and
Harold Johnson to disprove the
contention of some writers that he
has beaten only has beens."
Clay said he has no intention Of
becoming a free-swinging crowd
pleaser and getting banged up as
a result. I'm just like Sugar Ray
Robinson" he explained. They
(fans) used to boo him because he
could fight without getting a
scratch. People like to see fighters
eyes puffed up and blood roll.
Well, that's not for me-"
To Be Champion At FL
St. Paul recorder., 1961-08-25
To Be Champion At FL

Meanwhile, Clay reiterated an
earlier pledge to become the
heavyweight champion at 21, as
Patterson did before him. Patter-
son knocked Archie Moore out in
five rounds Nov. 80, 1856, to be-
come the youngest heavyweight
champion in ring history. Clay
wants to match, or perhaps better
that record.
Strangely enough, Clay fears
none of the big boys and, in fact,
doesn't even anticipate defeat. But
he won't feel bad If he loses to a
better man, he said.
