Major League Attendance Increases 2.2 Per Cent; Nine Clubs Show Boost By JOHN GRIFFIN New York HP) Despite the confusing babble about franchise shifts and all that pa laver in Congress about base ball's antitrust troubles, atten- Satterfield Tells of His Reformation By IRA LURVEY Chicago Ml Bob Satter field quietly sat in a darkened corner of his modest South Side apartment and said all he wants is to be a champion. "I've reformed. Honest, I have," he pleaded. "No more playing around for me. Boxing is the only business I know and that's what I'm treating it like now: a business." Satterfield said he'd fight any one in either the light-heavy or heavyweight divisions. "All I want is to be champ. I don't care which champ," he said. But the only trouble, Satter field said, is that no one will fight him. "Why not, mister?" he asked. "Why won't they just let me come back once more? I'm only 34." Only Close Three times Satterfield has come within a hair's breadth of a title fight. He's been within an official announcement of an op portunity to prove himself, three times he's been shoved aside. In 1951 Satterfield was slated to meet light heavyweight champ Joey Maxim in Chicago. But the battle was switched to New York at the last minute and Maxim fought, and beat. Bob Murphy. Then it was 1954 and Satter field was guaranteed $30,000 if he'd take on light heavy champ Archie Moore in Miami. But first, Satterfield wanted one final "soft one," so they booked him against Marty Marshall. Out In Second Marshall knocked Satterfield out in the second round. Later the IBC promised him a shot at Rocky Marciano and the heavyweight title. While waiting for the match, Satter field and Manager Ike Bernstein figured they'd pick up some easy money by taking on Johnny Hol man. Satterfield h:.d met Hol man twice before. Once he knocked him out in the tenth round. The other time he finished him in the first round. This time Holman knock ed Satterfield out in the eighth round. Woman Mails Card; Pillar Box Voice Asks for Postage Scunthorpe, England IP Mail boxes in England are great big cylindrical affairs called pillar boxes and are painted bright red. Wednesday Joyce Fisher popped a postcard into the pillar box and it popped right out again. She pushed it through the slot again. It came out again and a voice said with a bit of annoyance. "You haven't put a stamp on it.".- Joyce took a stamp from her pocket book and pushed the card through the mailbox slot again. From inside, the roice said "That's better." Then the workman cleaning the inside of the mailbox stepped out the rear door. SPORTS 68s Fired By Old Pros In Canadian Kitchener, Ont. OH The tricky; rolling Westmound golf course was causing loud moans today among the touring pros in the 48th Canadian Open, but Ed (Porky) Oliver and Henry Ran son weren t complaining. The two "old pros," who be tween them have been playing professionally for 45 years, showed the young guard how it was done during the first round of the $25,000 Canadian Open Wednesday, pt sting identical scores of 32-36 68 to assume one-shot lead. By pressing the 40-year-old Oliver and the 46-year-old Ran som was a flight of 14 other par breakers. Mike Souchak, Gros singers, N.Y., Mike Fetchick: Mahopac, N.Y., Don Fairfield, Casey, 111., and Masters cham pion Doug Ford, Mahopac, N.Y., were all one shot back. dance at major league baseball has increased 2.2 per cent this season, a United Press survey disclosed. Nine of the 16 big league clubs led by the World Champ ion New York Yankees, report a boost in turnstile business Seven others have suffered loss es, with the Chicago White Sox and Pittsburgh Pirates in the biggest slump. The survey showed that 8, 703.448 fans had attended ma jor league games up to the three- day All-Star game break trad itional halfway milestone in the season. This compared with 8,- 512,611 for the same number of home dates last year, a boost of 190,837. American League Increase Five of the teams showing in creases were in the American league, which boasted an over all increase of 141,176 (3 per cent). The National league was split evenly, four teams ahead of last year and four behind, but the "senior circuit" also had an overall increase of 49, 661 (1.1 per cent). The Yankees, who have bat tied their way out of early-season troubles to take a 2Vi game lead in the A. L. pennant race, report an increase of 126,991 (19.9 per cent) in attendance over last year. But the champ ions were being pressed by two other A. L. clubs, the Detroit Tigers with a 118.402 (21.8 per cent) increase under new own ers and the surprisingly strong Baltimore Orioles with 103,373 (21.8 per cent). The Chicago White Sox have dropped 112,580 (16 per cent) since last year, and the Pirates' attendance has dropped off a whopping 108,783 (18 per cent) from last year. It will be recall ed that in early 1956 Pittsburgh fans were flocking to the park to see Dale Long swat homers at a record pace. Long has not only cooled off, but he's been traded to Chicago. Wanderers Show Loss The Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants, subjects of all that transfer-to-the-West-Coast talk, both report gate losses of a modest size. The, ardor of the Dodger fans for their possibly Los Angeles-bound darlings has chilled 46,444 admissions (8.3 per cent): Giant attendance is off a proportionate 26,858 per cent. The Milwaukee Braves, of course, are the attendance lead ers again the only team over the million mark with 1.008,980. That's a drop of 19.637 from last year but even so the Braves are the first to reach the million milestone for the fifth straight year. , The Washington Senators have picked up 11.956 admissions since last year but they're stil! the worst "draw" in the majors with only 259.398 fans. But there must be a method in the Washington system. It was disclosed at the recent con gressional hearings they were the only team in the American league to pay a dividend to its stockholders four times in the past five years.

His mound Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL With the moon coming into the light phase, the fishing gen erally has slowed in most lakes. There are still fish being taken but when the number of fisher men is taken into account the percentage per angler drops con siderably. This moon phase angle to lake fishing has been a source of controversy- for as long as there nave been anglers. There is a large school of thought that dur ing the light part of the moon the fish feed at night and there fore are hard to catch in the daytime. Of course there is the other school that says that it makes no difference and joint with pride at the record catches they have made during this period. I have listened to no end of campfire discussions on the sub ject and have had considerable experience in which I felt there was something to the former theory but I have also fished long enough (too long) to know that if you make i. rule, a hard fast one, concerning the fish they have a regular habit of breaking it. A trout is a hungry creature, never seeming to have enough and I feel that in a small stream or shallow lake he will eat when, where and as often as he can. In larger, deeper lakes this does not seem to hold true. Records Kept I can remember a large lake in the high Sierras where the fishing was superb during the dark phase of the moon but as themoon was coming into its light side the fishing would drop to almost nil. We kept records on this lake for several years and found it constant. One year a party fished this lake in the light of the moon and during five days time they only found a half hour one eve ning when the fish bit like mad, then quit as suddenly as they started. On my recent trip into the Bend country the fishing had been tops on a lake on which we were camped but a fellow angler made the statement that just as soon as the moon started to shine again this would change. It is a fact that the last two days of our stay the decline was very evident. On the last day when the moon was in its first quarter the success ratio among fellows who had been limiting had dropped to the point where they were talking of moving somewhere else. I noticed that where before the fish had been hitting a fly savagely now they were just rolling for it. As I stated before, it would be a foolish angler who would attempt to draw a hard, fast con clusion about the fish for if this ware possible there wouldn't need to be the thousands of lures and baits on the market to con fuse us. Diamond Lake This may not have anything to do with the foregoing but the Diamond lake resort says that the fishing has dropped considerably from what it was. There are lots of anglers oWaterfill - Crazier . the OQmhM. Of KENTUCKY BOURBON X S Proof C5 IMHFIll AMD FUZlEt 01STILLEBT foe, Mark Fitch was tapped for eight hits. He gave seven bases on balls, hit two batters and struck out five. Dick Wooton and John Eggink were the leading VAD hitters with two safeties each. Singles by Dick Nix and Bill Seymour and two bases on balls helped Camp White to two runs in the third inning. In the fourth inning there were singles by Landers, Wooton and Bob Serak and one walk for two markers. One score in the fifth canto came on a walk, hit batter and an error.

REES there now and some of them are catching a few fish but they say that generally speaking the fishing is only fair now. Fish Lake Here goes the old theory! Reports from here indi cate that the fishing has been good for the past three days and is picking up The largest fish has been 21 inches but plenty of fish have been taken. Trolling with knobby wobblers either be hind a flasher or along, silver flatfish and green, still fishing with eggs and worms all have produced. There is no algae now and plenty of good boats are available. Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing was slow last week but over the week end it was fair to good with trolling the best pro ducer. Four-Mile Lake Returning anglers say that the fishing has picked up here and is good now. Some nice brookies being taken to 13 inches. Klamath Lake This shoots the theory! The fishing has been good over the week end (the moon was at least half full)! Bob Sloan of Harriman's resort went out for about an hour and took a 6Vz pounder for himself. Carl Miller of Medford connected with a 10V4 pound fish. El Beck of Talent landed a 5V4 pounder and Earl Niederman of Grants Pass took two fish, 5V and iVz. Other visiting anglers to this area landing big fish were Dex ter McCarty, Gresham, Ore., 4V4: j Bill More, San Diego, 4V4 and 4V2; Warren Baker of Fallbrook, Calif., 4V4 and 6 his wife Lil a 5 lb. Betty Robinson of Klam ath Falls 5; Bruce Brickell of Grants Pass, 7V4; Glen Ditto, Junction City, Ore., bVz and 4, and Tom Trocera, Orinda, Calif., 4'2. Dorothea Cunningham of Portland battled an 8V4 pound er and won. There were witnessed reports of a 12-pounder and one which tipped 15 pounds, but these were not weighed officially. Best baits are artificials now with Andy Reekers, Freaks and Flatfish holding the spotlight. Chetco river Hewitts Anch orage at Harbor, says that the trout fishing is poor, the salmon fishing isn't as yet but expect it any day, the perch, flounder and smelt fishing in the mouth of the river is good.

Crock Hunter. Lemley, in A-57, has a 234 to 205 lead over Hunter, in 15-X. This Saturday evening's pro gram will find Hunter trying to slice down the gap which Lem ley increased slightly last week end.

Time trials, as usual, will be at 7 p.m. with the first race at 8 p.m. Asher is still third in the point Baseball's Bigwigs Face Charges of Intimidation Washington (IB Baseball bigwigs, already under fire by congressional investigators for alleged monopolistic practies, to day faced a possible "intimida tion" charge. Rep. Patrick J. Hillings (R Calif.), disclosed Wednesday that staff investigators of the House anti-trust subcommittee have Willie Hartack Hurt in Spill Arlington Heights, 111. OPI Top jockey Willie Hartack was recovering from severe cuts and bruises today, thankful things weren't any worse. Hartack, the nation's leading rider with 185 wins to date this year, was spilled in the first race at Arlington Park Wednes day. At first it was feared he had suffered a fractured vertebra and would be sidelined "indef initely." A" later re-examination of X rays revealed there had not been a fracture. Doctors said Hartack probably would be ready to ride again within a week. Hartack tried to persuade the doctors to let him out by Satur day so he could ride Iron Liege in the $100,000 Arlington classic. But they apparently told the spunky veteran that he wasn't as well as all that. CONCRETE Phone SP 2-5271 248 E.
