Sugar Ray, one of boxing's all time greats with only three de feats in a brunant career of 137 pro fights, said, "At this stage of my career I don't feel I can give my followers the best I have. I don't want to let them down. "A lot of very big people, and I mean very big people, in boxing put a lot of- pressure on me to go through with a Randy Turpin match. Bit I felt I should have made this announcement long be fore so I made up my mind all of a sudden. "I don't want to be like a lot of others who didn't retire In time." ! Robinson won't have to worry. He has a bar and grill, a beer and ale distributing agency, a lin gerie shop, a barbershop, a clean ing establishment and j a real es tate office in Harlem. ; Rematch Made For Tag Scrap The tag team duets of Toi Ya mato-Mr. Sakata and Luigi Mac era-Antonio Baillargeon, who pro vided the riotous scramble here this week as a prelim to the Lou Thesz - Tony Ross heavyweight title battle, will cap Matchmaker Elton Owen's Armory wrestling party for next Tuesday night, the mat maestro announced Thursday.

Referee Harry Elliott had been tossed out of the ring, Macera had Yamato flat on the canvas and Sakata had a sleeper hold on Bail largeon. There was mayhem all over the place, and when groggy Elliott finally got things in order he gave the match to the Macera Baillargeon team. This went over real big with the Japs, who have been yelping about it ever since. Two other matched, one includ ing Tony Ross, will be - added to the card later on by Owen. 499ers Team Up for Sale SAN FRANCISCO UP) The San Francisco 49ers football team named after the gold prospectors are for sale if the price is right.

' That was expected to come in the doubles match Friday (Thurs day night, U.

TACKLE BOXES GUNS TROLLING RODS ESSE Receive Slap Too Much Stress, Says Educational Report By ARTHL'L. EDSON WASHINGTON VFi The Na tional Education Association struck out Thursday at what it called high pressure sports competition amung youngsters of elementary or junior high school age. A special committee, completing a three - year study, condemned such things as little league base ball, "little"' bowl games, midget football and "biddy" basketball for youngsters 12 years old or younger. (For real mites, by the way, there's even "iddy biddy" basket ball.) The committee said highly or ganized competition, patterned after high school and college sports, gives youngsters an exag gerated idea of the importance of sports and may even be harmful to them. The views of the committee were summed up in a 46 - page booklet entitled: "Desirable Athletic Com petition for Children." These views were amplified by the committee's chairman, Simon A. McNeely, at a news conference. McNeely is a specialist on health and recreation for the U. S. Office of Education. According to McNeely. highly or ganized sports for youngsters has grown rapidly since the war. "Most of this has been done by well meaning persons," he said. "I'm sure they have the best of intentions." McNeely said the sports were sponsored by businesses, civic clubs and in some instances, such as in Washington, by the police who think this is an aid in com batting juvenile delinquency. But, McNeely' said, a survey of physicians shows they fear highly competitive sports may be injuri ous to health at this age. He said physicians listed dangers from over - exhaustion or bone in juries. The committee's suggestion: In formal intramural competition for children in upper elementary grades and physical education for all youngsters. For those in the higher grades, it said, there could be play days, sports days and "occasional in formal, invitational games between nearby schools (or neighborhood groups)." "We're for sports and we're for competition," McNeely said. "But we think the study shows it should not be highly competitive in which winning becomes too important." Poker is believed to be an adap tion of a Persian game. 155 N. Liberty Phone 3-3191 Fed. tax inL 339.95 Yr. warranty incl.

The Nestucca w?3 one of the more popular streams with many large steel- I . " I Brgr pounds. We saw a mcinster. Fishing on Coastal Stream indeed I Seemingly it has been many a day sine the flahlng fer the big sea -run rainbow has been s good. The coastal streams are literally jammed with fish and the water Is Just Tight. That the fish are running- larre Is no secret. Normally wis do not hear of so many large fish taken on the same week end.! Talking about large fish, we are reminded that the record chinook of 83 lbs. taken from the Umpqua River In 1910 by one F. R. Steele has finally been topped. Fellow by the name of Frank Piscatelli bat tled it out with a big king salmon at River's Inlet, B.C. this past sum mer and came up with a fish weighing 87 lbs. j Yeu salmon anglers will know that the lucky angler had his hands full of salmon with that lunker. A salmon topping the 80 lb. mark is one of considerable size and is the dream of almost every salmon angler. However, to date the 87 lb. king is still an unofficial record. The angler says, "I'm not worried about a record. I caught the fish and that is all that matters to me." I" M : Catching of 30-Pounder on Odorou Side ; 'j ; While we're on the subject of fish you may recall that we mentioned a steelhead recently eaarht that was supposed to have hit the record column. The fish supposedly weighed SO lbs. .3 oss. It measured Ati Inches in length and had a gtrtfc of llt Inches. Appears that something Is a bit decayed In Denmark. Compare the above measurments with those of a fish weighing 23 lbs., S oss. The Utter fish had a length of 42 inches with a firth of 21 and three-qaarter inches. We were called to Portland this past Tuesday by Frank Dufresne, West Coast editor for Field & Stream magazine. Seems the 30 pounder has been contested by several anglers in the "know." Evidence dug up here and there, plus the measurements of a fish 7 lbs. lighter in weight would indicate that the 30 pounder Is strictly a phony. It Is too bsd that angling must lose some of Its flavor on oc casion! merely because some Individual would go to extreme lengths to garner a prize in a national contest along with the re sulting publicity. Angling Is a recreational tonic. It is an escape from the harried world of business. It is, on occasions a matching of wits with a smart and wary fish. When some person will fal sify testimony as to the weight of a fish merely to gain publicity, win a cash prize, and salve his ego, then that person is not aa angler. m i , , -j,? 0.. 1 -.

Clarence Greig of Salem nailed one on a wobbling spoon that hit the scales at better than 17 lbs. The fish was taken on spinning tackle from the Nestucca not far above Beaver. Keith Moo try also of Salem and now at tending OSC battled it out with another king sized steelhead. Keith's fish went better than 16 lbs. and was also taken on spinning tackle from the Nestuc ca.
