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 q
banquet, and the same Is true
in fish land, to the dismay OF
anglers who yearn for q 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 win 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.

that successfully staged the 1850
PGA Championship in Akron. The
Junior League Of Akron. The Ak

and the Akron Beacon Journal

Sifford Is coming by invitation
Of the local sponsors. He was
chosen among a group Of ten golf

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 f;ve-time National Negro
champion started play with the
pros on the PGA circuit in 1858.
He is the first Negro to win q
PEA scheduled tournament, the
Long Beach Open in 1857, where
he defeated Eric Monti in a three
hole, sudden death playoff. To the
first prize Of $1,000 he added $500

noteworthy victory during the
year was the non-PGA scheduled
Almedan Open in California which
fielded such luninaries as Ken
Ventura, Bob Rosburg, and Jim
Clark. Sifford shot 281 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-

him because he has been doing

A partial answer Ia probahly
the best wen ever have, and
some fish management blolo-
gists In Minnesota have offered
that. They found that catches
by anglers are directly related
to the fishes available food

Low food supply meant many

the catch Of bluegills fell Off as
the summer advanced because

Louisville CANP) - Former
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 n, and he wants to retire
a good looking fighter.
Clay, stiIl only IS and unbeaten
in eight professional bouts, ex-
pressed the twin ambitions in an
interview here recently. Somewhat
peeved at sports writer's who crit
icize him for being overly eau
tious. the Louisville slugger." as
he is niclnamed by hometown ad-
mirers, spoke his peace about why
he wants to retain his good looks.
He said:
II 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
Sears
He added:
when / retire from the fight
game I'm going to retire with few
scars. I want to stay good looking
all my life"
If he continues TO box cleverly,
chances are he win 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 Mteff
Of Argentina, and Cassius has ex-
pressed the desire to fight Eddie
Machen, the No. 3 heavyweight
contender, and Harold Johnson, the
MIA 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

a result. I'm Just like Sugar Ray

they needed him. He would sen
out the joint. But the people in
Pittsburgh passed They didn't
want him.
The legend Of the Sugar Man
has been RACED. The bluffs have
seen him lose twice to Paul Pender
and they watched Fullmer BUN
him and turn him out Of his style
with awkward llnges. 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 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 100000
against a percentage to fight Car
men Basilio. He walked away from
1t 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 Fender who beat him out
of the championship in Boston for
$50, 900.
It's long way down from $780,
900 to $4,000. The matches are
getting smaller now. Why would
a 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.

SUGAR MAS FIGHT RACKET
cASED
NV HHnRnrMr n nrnrcnr
By JIMMY CANNON

By JIMMY CANNON
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
slills are working. but not a round
further. You quit while you're stiII
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 s1,bO0.0oo. It was
the most lucrative comeback in
all the ages Of sports.
The taxes took plenty but Rob-
.ason can't be busted. But he's still
selling his reputation in the racket
he despises. He made close to
100000 the last time with Gene
Fullmer in Las Vegas. It wasn't
close and he was fortunate to last
the fifteen rounds.
1t is as though Robinson thinks
the middleweight championship
Gene Fullmer 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 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 Markson, 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 1t.
There are no small matches for
Robinson" Gainford said. "Only
big ones" s. IA.
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
