From the end of October through
November, your chances of catch
ing a really big musky or pike
are at least 25 times better than
in summer. Maybe even 50. Fish
ing now does not call for special
skill nor a knowledge of how to
find good spots because the fish
are ranging widely, seeking all
the food they can find.
Usually water of about six to
12 feet deep is the best bet now,
and trolling anywhere within
these depths you are likely to pick
one up. Give special attention to
the neighborhood of reefs, small
inslands and towards the ends of
long points.
You won’t need any special
tackle but be sure your line is in
good condition. The test line to
use depends largely on your ex
perience in handling big fish and
on how cool-headed you are when
things happen suddenly. Among
guides and other experienced
anglers, 20-pound-test is about
standard for musky and large pike.
On a reel that has a drag, this test
line will do for anybody. But the
less experienced man whose reel
has no drag should use heavier.
Use a wire leader. If you’re cast
ing, eight inches is enough, l?ut
you can use slightly longer when
trolling.
Some anglers think that for
these big fish you don’t need a
lure much larger than moderate
bass size. Discussing this in Sports
Afield magazine, Jason Lucas says
that the time of year when they’re
feeding so ravenously, he pre
fers to offer them a pretty good
mouthful.
Nearly all agree that a shiny
spoon is best at most times—but
should it be spinning or x wob
bling, with feathers or bucktails,
and if' with the latter, what color?
I don’t think it matters much just
so it. has reasonably good action
of some sort. Carry along a good-
sized plug for the times they don’t
seem to want a spoon. Lucas sug
gests one of a slimmer fish shape
and with pike-scale finish. Some
lures of this type are joined in the
middle and some aren’t. It doesn’t
matter which you use, just so it
runs moderately deep.
Keep your hooks sharp—these
fish have hard mouths. Set the
hook well by several hard tugs.
And here’s the secret of being
practically certain to land any
large fish that’s well hooked: hav
ing pulled quite hard in setting
the hook, never again during the
battle put on that much pressure.
Then the line can’t break or the
hook straighten.
LAST FIGHT
By Norman Disher
I T WAS my last fight, I knew it
and Bronc, my manager, knew
it. No one had come out and said
so but they must have known from
the way I had fought tonight. It’s
over now so it doesn’t matter too
much.
A week ago Tony Mendel had
come to me and explained it all.
“You been Champ a long time
now, right Timmy?’*
“Yeah Tony, yeah,” I had an
swered wondering what was com
ing.
“Too long maybe kid. We need
a new boy and besides you know
all the good money is on you next
Friday night. You know that?”
“I know it, so what?” He was
after something, I hated to think
of what it might be.
“So we get good odds and a new
champ. See?”
“You want me to throw it; that
it Tony?” I tried to sound casual.
“Yeah kid, that’s it,” Tony spoke
softly.
“You won’t let me forget that
first fight for the welter crown,
will you Tony? Now you’re going
to do it all over again and this
time I’m the guy who does the
fade out. I could have won that
first one without you paying the
old Champ off but the money was
on him then and you had to col
lect, right? Now the money’s on
me; supposing I say no go, uh?”
“You remember what happened
to DeFranco?” Tony scowled.
“That’s what I figured. Yeah,
I remember him. He’s still a crip
ple. So I guess that’s that. You
don’t give me much choice."
•That’s being a smart boy; you
know how to do it, just make it
look real. See you later.”
I began to think about it a little
later and I felt sick. I remembered
DeFranco alright. Somebody had
taken him out in the country and
they did a real good job of work
ing him over. He’d never been able
to walk right again after that.
Tony was the one who had set
up the fight that had made me the
Welterweight Champ; he’d fixed
it so I would win because the one
thing Tony wanted was money and
all the money had been on the old
Champ. He’d cleaned up by bet
ting heavily on me.
Now it was my turn.
After two minutes in the ring
with Harry Damrell, the chal
lenger, I knew he didn’t know
about the fix.
I fought half-heartedly for the
first six rounds and then in the
middle of the seventh Harry caught
me in the solar plexis and I went
down. I wasn’t faking, it had hurt
plenty and I stayed on the canvas
for a nine count. Then something
screamed inside of me and I got
up and started fighting mean. In
the eleventh round I smashed Har
ry over the heart and he staggered,
and then a right cross, a left hook,
and a right uppercut finished him.
He stayed down for the count of
ten and still didn’t get up.
Well, it’s all over now and there’s
nothing else to do. Bronc looked
scared, plenty scared. When afe
came back here to my dressing
room he broke loose: “What ya
think ya doin’ kid; what ya done?
We’re finished boy—they’ll get ua
for this. I’m pullin’ out, I gotta
family to think aboutl I gotta
leave. I’m goin’ . . .”
“Ok, Bronc, ok,” I interrupted.
“It’s ok. I understand, go ahead.
I know how you feel. You got to
make a living. Goodbye.”
“’Bye kid.” Bronc rushed out
into the hallway and didn’t look
back.
I’m here alone now. Just sitting
here thinking about what I did in
the ring tonight. I was fighting
more than a man; I was fighting
myself. I was fighting ^or all the
guys that might come to this rack
et after me. The ones who wanted
to make a living out of it, they’re
the ones I had to win for. Now it’s
too late for me but I don’t care.
It was something I had to do.
I can hear footsteps coming down
the hall now. I don’t care, it’s
done and I’m through. I can hear
the heavy footsteps; probably two
or three of them. I’ll get one of
theml

Re-organization Is
Slap At Good Men
(By David A. Tillinghast Associate
Editor, The Greenville Piedmont)
The news of the day has just
brought the official announcement
that the plan for "reorganization”
of the nation’s Soil Conservation
Service is now in effect.
This move will not sadden a lot
of .people. It will not interest a
large number to whom soil con
servation as yet means nothing. It
will please some, undoubtedly, be
cause they regard it as economy
or because it fits In with other
considerations.
The thing that I dislike most
about the order placing the plan
into being is the accompanying
slap that was t taken at the op
position to the change.
What is this National Associa
tion of Soil Conservation Dist
ricts ?
It is composed of civic leaders
who serve as supervisors, in more
than 2,500 counties in the nUited
States where soil conservation
programs have been initiated and
the 1,900,000 fanners who have
tasted conservation and found it
good for their farms and their
souls.
(In Newberry they are J. T. Mc-
Crackin, Jr., C. . Lester, H. O.
Long, D, A. Bedenbaugh, L. and
L. M. Shealy are supervisors of
the Newberry Soil Conservation
District.—Ed.)
These are the type men who
through their duly elected and
accredited spokesmen have dared
to oppose the Washington plan.
They are men of repute in their
respective areas. They are men
who know the personal feel of soil
that has been benefited by conser
vation. They are men who from a
civic sense of duty have respond
ed to a moral challenge to serve
own neighborhoods and establish
as sq^l rebuilding patriots in their
a liason that has accomplished
wonders in bringing into the pic
ture so many farms in need—34,354
land owners in South Carolina and
their 5,798,000 acres.
These men who I have named
are among 220 of the same splen
did stripe throughout South Caro
lina. They do not need to resort
to misleading statements or false
hoods to justify their interest in
the conservation or to support an
honest and sincere protest.

Baseball hero Mickey Mantle, |

knee, and was reported doing fine.
A torn cartilage In his knee was
removed ... Here’s a record hard
to beat: Salem College of Salem,
W. Va., closed its 1953 football sea
son with another defeat, making,
in all, eight defeats in 1953 and
the 26th straight loss in three and
a half years . . . Baseball Roles
Committee has changed the balk
rale. Under the new rale, the of
fensive team will have an option
of taking the balk called on the
pitcher or the result of the batter's
swing—possibly a home ran. In
the past, it was possible for a bat
ter to hit a home ran and have the
hit nullified by the umpire’s “balk”
sail . . . Jockies are often kissed
after winning a stake by enthusi-
astie lady owners. Now, all jockies
are small men and this is what one
said recently about such an oc
casion: “That lady (a 175 pounder)
has the biggest month Fve ever
seem. When she kissed me it cov
ered the whole side of my face.'*’
