Over Sugar Bawl .
NEW ORLEANS - There was
plenty of sugar In the Sugar Bowl

but most of it was brown sugar.
Negro athletes competed in
practically every area of the
athletic spectacular, except
those on the water in boats.
Lt. Arthur Ashe, second
seeded American tennis player,
won the singles tennis champ
ionship over Nicki Pilic, fourth
seeded player from Yugoslavia.
Ashe also teamed with Holm
berg to win the doubles tennis
championship of the tourney.
This was the first time any
Negro had ever competed in a
Sugar Bowl tennis match.
Others who brought the brown
sugar to the bowl were the re

"Watts Walloper” Hitting
Home fin For Jobless
LOS ANGELES - Ever heard
of the “Watts Walloper?”
It won't be long before you
win.
The “walloper” is a new
baseball bat being produced by
formerly jobless, low-skilled
men in Watts. And it’s sure to
swing like a king-thanks to the
endorsement of 11 big-name
baseball players.
The bat’s producers, the
Green Power foundation, are
confident that the Watts wall
oper will soon become the bat
to hit with on baseball dia
monds all over the nation.
The wallopers have a special
feature that will enhance their
attractiveness: Their handles
will be wrapped with an aero
space industry fabric which
makes i t harder to brea k them.
By next May, 350 men are
expected to be working in the
walloper plant. With a pro
jected 100 lathes, some 1,000
wallopers a day will be turned
out, if plans go right.
The Green Power foundation
had to overcome two obstacles
t. to get its bat project off the
ground:
—How to get the kind of
wood needed for quality bats.
--How to obtain baseball
stars' indorsements, which arc*
needed If-the bats are to be
accepted In professional base
ball games, and in set tool and
recreational use.
The company solved the first
problem by using tan oak, which

FOUL-WATER FISHING
How often have you decided
against going fishing because
of reports of muddy water?
It’s a natural reaction, especi
ally this time of year when
rains whisk silt down the
rivers and into lakes. For
many, fishing comes to a
standstill.
However, rn ud d y water
should he no real deterrent,
says the fishing experts at
Mercury outboards. It simply
calls for a change in tactics,
switching to a style of fishing
that is particularly suited to
cloudy water conditions.
Remember, fish use senses
other than sight when feeding,
so, like fishing at night, work
on the idea that you should
offer a bass something he can
hear, smell and taste when you
fish the - murky waters.
Natural baits such as min
nows, crawfish or a gob of
worms will attract feeding fish,
regardless of conditions. To
make it even more noticeable,
attach a cork carved into a
concave shape about two feet
up from the hook. When this
cork and bait are cast, a loud
“plop” reverberates through
the water. Tins rig can be
either cast or jigged up and
down briskly with a long cane
pole, and with surprising re
suits.
To locate fish, try to cover
as much water as possible by
cruising slowly, but steadily,
along the shoreline. Carefully
work around stumps and rocks
where fish are almost certain
to be, and look for spots where
the muddy water is just start
ing to clear. Give this a try:
It's a method that might be
come your favorite.
