Nags Head Reports First Channel Bass of Season NAGS HEAD First channel bass of the season was reported last week but the fish was not landed with rod and reel. Instead it just happened to be on the beach but dead. A member of the crew at Oregon Inlet Cosst Guard Station coming up the beach saw the channel bass and reported it when he stopped at the guide headquarters of Sam bo and Omie Tillett at the inter- j section of U.S. 158 and Hatteras Trail here. Apparently the fish had been driven ashore by sharks, in opinion of Tillett. It weighed an estimated 50 pounds. Capt. Lee Dough, local guide and s resident of Manteo was pre dicting this week that the first channel bass of the season would be taken on or about March 20 with rod and reel.

Joe Louis is giv ing a good example of how to lose friends and discourage heavy weights from taking up boxing as a career. The Brown Bomber, who made friends wherever he fought dur ing his 12-year reign as world's heavyweight boxing champion, now has come to the point where he is scoring knockouts in exhi bition bouts. And the fellows be ing knocked out are some of his old friends, (he sparring partners who helped keep him in shape when he ruled the roost. Louis is fighting only because he needs ready cash. Though his I share of purses in 26 champion-! ship fights amounted to $2,668,113. the feeling all arouid is that he never got to keep much of it. Recently he had a $57,000 tax lien hanging over his head. With ex- j hibition bouts bringing him rough- 1 ly $5,000 a match, even $57,000 is | a pretty penny to gather together. J Last March. Louis wound up a five-month tour which netted him $210,000 in 41 bouts. His showings took him through the west, south, Cuba, the Dutch West Indies and even to far off Manila. Then the tax lien came to light. Money Talks Last October, nc said mone> lured him back on the exhibition circuit. Thus he began another tour that was reminiscent of hi.* 'Bum of the Month Club" during his rise to the title in 1937. Only this time it was bum of the week, (n the final three months of 1949 Louis boxed close to 90 rounds, giving him a total of more than 165 rounds in some 34 bouts dur ing 1949. As a result of his two five-round )outs in Detroit, Michigan, has put i ban on boxing exhibitions. If the fans tire of seeing Louis >n exhibition the man wh ? held the title longer than any heavy weight in history may be forced to return to real action for a crack it the crown now held by Ezzard Charles. Too Much Weight Surely, Louis isn't fighting be :ause he likes it. The task of get- ' ting down to good fighting weight lias been a Louis problem since 1946. Four years of inactivity had its toll and the once 202 pound Joe now is a rather plump 222. "If I fight again." Louis said recently in Dcs Moines, "it will tie Ezzard Charles, of course. He's the beat heavyweight around and the match will draw the moat money." Your attention is called to the last two words "most money." Af ter a South American tour, Louis may change his mind about "re tirement." It is the hunch of this writer that the Brown Bomber will be forced to make a comeback in New York next aummer.
