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.

Wednesday Joyce Fisher

She pushed it through the

annoyance. "You haven't put
a stamp on it.".-
Joyce took a stamp from
her pocket book and pushed
the card through the mailbox

roice said "That's better."
Then the workman cleaning
the inside of the mailbox
stepped out the rear door.

68s Fired

In Canadian
Kitchener, Ont. OH The

today among the touring pros in

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.

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
