| Ike Williams Retains
i Lightweight Crown
With TKO Over Beau Jack
Beau Jack, the former Augusta
Ga. shine boy, failed to gain back
the ; lightweight championship
crown that he has twice held, as
he was battered into submission by
titleholder Ike Williams Monday
night in Shiba Park, Philadelphia
Referee Charley Taggart stopped
the fight after 33 terrible seconds
of the sixth round and awarded a
TKO to Williams.
, Williams belted Jack into the
ropes with a savage left hook and
proceeded to beat the Georgia boy
helpless until Taggart took a hand
with the crowd yelling for the fight
to be stopped.
Better than 23,000 fans paid $300,
000 to see Jack come out strong
in the first three rounds, slow down
. in the fourth and falter in the fifth
| when his punches failed to affect
the champ in the terrific infigiit
j ing. Then, in the sixth, Willi;.ms
,gave Jack no chance to get start
ed.
f
j Both men weighed 134, Williams
. is 24 and Jack 27.
The officials had given 3 rounds
to Jack and 2 to Williams when the
j fight was stopped.

It's The Same Old Story?
Everywhere you go, it's the same
old story ! ! This is one of the
world's mcst widely used expres
sions and a lot times it's true?!
especially it is with the Sylva
Legionaires.
Yes, we're back on the subject
of umpires. It's a very delicate
subject and it has to be handled
just right. We're going to talk
about "rotten deals" and the ma
jority of our readers will under
stand that what we say is not just
hearsay but is the actual truth.
Everywhere you*?Q?first, Mar
tel, second, Murphy; and now
Hazelwood. A lot of folks like to
blame a lost ball^ game on the
' ump; most people do when the
umping couldn't be better. Yet
when home town fans gripe when
their own team wins a game un

JACKSON
FARM BRIEF?
1/ W. T. Brown |3
There seems to be a growing
interest in developing the straw
berry industry in Jackson county.
Since Mr. Olson, from the Skyland
I Processing Company at Hender
sonville can guarantee a market
I for any amount we can produce
j many GI's farm trainees and other
1 farmers are seriously considering
| this as a source of ca#h income.
! Probably all the strawberries we
will produce for awhile conld be
sold locally. J. B. Farmer from
Barkers Creek section says they
are a real money crop if handled
properly. Walter Middleton, a Cul
) lowheeee G.I. Trainee, who is buy
ing a farm in the Webster section j
seems especially interested in the
proper cultural practices for high
yields and I predict that his inter
est- will realize fcr him within two
i year a nice income from this sou
' rce.
An income of $1500 per acre is
not unusual for strawberries under
proper conditions. With the new
high yielding varieties being de
' velopcd this can be made attrac
tive business for us with our small
farms. If you are interested in this
i enterprise see any of the agricul
j tural workers in this county fcr
recommended practices.
John Farley, Assistant GI-teach,
er at Cullowhee, has had good re
sults killing Patch Town Weed on
Caney Fork with 2-4-D Weed Kill
er. He says the complete plant dies
and does not sprout out again as
it does when mowed down. This
chemical may be bought at sever
al places in Sylva.
Those of you who make an an
nual visit to see the cabbage fields
in Glenville ought to go soon.
Theodore Brooks reports a good
field of cabbage this year.

handed a shady deal. And that
is exactly what happened at Hazel
wood last Wednesday. Several
rooters for the home team said
that the game would have been
more interesting had the umping
been more up-to-date.
Everybody knows that a base
ball game with an ump catering
to one side is as dull as a Satur
day night in the middle of no
where.
Everybody knows that when the
pitcher is on the rubber preparing
to deliver to the batsman and the
third baseman dubs a "hidden ball"
on the runner playing off third
that a balk has been committed
Yet, under such conditions, when
the runner is called out, it shows
that the ump must have been tak
ing his afternoon nap. That hap
pened at Hazelwood. No hard
feeling toward Skipper Jack Smith
of Hazelwood. He has a fine,
i hustling club; but, we do think the
game could have been more in
teresting had the conditions been
more favorable.
, Other things happened in this
game that c^uld be mentioned
here, but we'll just let the little
wheel roll until Hazelwood comes
j back to Sylva. Then they won't
' have Frisbee on the mound (as if
that would matter now) or Con
stance behind the plate. No re
' flection on Mr. Constance. He is
a good friend of ours. Maybe he
just hadn't read his rulebcok in
the past few "years?or maybe he
just left his spectakles at home
Who knows?
