"I fought as a southpaw Nixon Goes To Sox In Trade Deal Boston -(UPD The last-place Boston Red Sox, 12 hours af ter re-hiring Mike Higgins as manager, obtained Cleveland Indians catcher Russ Nixon Monday in a four-man straight player deal. Nixon, a 25-year-old left handed batter, was the center of a violent controversy last spring when he was traded to Boston in exchange for catcher Sammy White. Nixon was ordered back to the In dians by baseball Commis sioner Ford Frick after White decided to quit baseball and devote all his time to business interests. In exchange for Nixon and outfielder Carroll Hardy, the Red Sox today sent outfielder Marty Keough and pitcher Ted Bowsfield to Cleveland. Nixon was expected to in herit the starting catching as signment on the troubled Red Sox team. Boston has been al ternating 28-year-old Eddie Sadowski, a classy receiver but weak hitter, and Haywood Sullivan, who is only a fair catcher and who has been hit ting only .135 thus far this season, behind the plate.

Their main headache was a boat built by Croucher and Dyer. The trip was to Little Fish lake in the Umpqua Na tional forest. According to Kramer, they started along the trail with their well-laden boat on a buck buggy, a cart which was supported by a bicycle wheel. Two miles along the trail the wheel collapsed. The three took everything out of the boat and put the equipment alone on the buggy, using it a sort of stretcher. They planned for one man to tote the 85-pound boat and the others to carry the stretcher but the equipment was too heavy. They then made up three packs, carried them about one-fourth mile ahead, then went back and got the boat and brought it up to the packs. This procedure was re peated until the three got to the lake 10 hours after they started up the trail too tired to fish that day. Kramer said they figure they had actually traveled SVa miles on the trail. The three caught 15 fish among them the following day, finding the best spot just before they had to quit. Then, they hiked out to the car in just 1V4 hours without the boat, McABEE AT BROOKINGS Jim McAbee, ex - Talent high and Southern Oregon college athlete, who tried out with the Salem Senators of the Northwest Baseball league in April, reportedly has pass ed up an opportunity, to join the capital city club and is looking for summer work in this area.

By FLOYD PATTERSON Written for UPI Newtown, Conn. - (UPI) - I'll be carrying seven more pounds and the first "mad on" of my career when I fight Ingemar Johansson next Mon day. This means 1 11 be giving away practically nothing in the weights and absolutely nothing in determination. At 189 pounds I'll be bigger and stronger than I've ever been before. And at the sharpest mental peak of my life I'll be looking to make Ingo wind up as boxing tradition suys all good champions should: Face down. You can forget all that stuff about Floyd Patterson "the Impersonal fighter who doesn't let emotion enter into his fights." Let's face it, Ingo gave me a licking last time. It's this simple: Ira going to do it to him. The tale of the tape will disclose the physical differ ence. I've put on seven pounds in the right spots - in the shoulders and biceps. That's why I'm punching harder and sharper than ever before. It's why I'm thinking of a knock out and not just winning a decision. Prove Point You'll have to see the fight to see the proof of my second point. Mad . . . angry , . . peeved . . . annoyed . . . These are words but they do not really describe how a man feels when he has a job to do that only his two fists can accomplish. People ask me if I fight "the fight" over and over in my mind. I tell them "yes" even though I know we're not talking about the same fight. They mean the first fight. Boston - (UPD - The Boston Patriots of the American Foot ball league have signed Don Dirienzo, 23 -year -old, 245 pound tackle who played col lege ball for the University of California, San Jose college and Western State college In Colorado. But the one I've fought over and over is this one. I'm fighting Ingemar Jo hansson when I'm rat-tatting the light bag and pushing around the heavy bag. I see him when I'm running in the woods and it's really Ingo's chin I'm hitting when I flick a quick left or right at a low- hanging leaf. And my little gum here in the woods is the Polo Grounds filled to capac ity at I stand over Ingo and hear them saying that Floyd Patterson is the heavyweight champion of the world again. CLIFFORD D.
