Colorful But
Can He Fight?
Roy Harris, a heavyweight (6
ft., 195 lbs.) from Cut and Shoot,
Texas, has fought 22 professional
bouts and won them all, but he
has never been seen either on
TV or outside Texas. Last month,
to stir the nation's interest in
the new contender for the
heavyweight' crown (he is due
to fight Champion Floyd Pat-
terson in Los Angeles on Aug.
18), TelePrompTer Corp. offered
a Texas junket to some of Yan-
keeland's top sportswriters. What
the ringside pros saw left them
' happy, dazed, full of copy, and
fat pigeons for TelePrompTer's
pressagents.
Cut and Shoot proved to be a
hamlet in the mid dl e of a
swampy, oil-rich wooded area
know as the "Big Thicket." Its
194 inhabitants claim that "if
you stand around .long enough,
you'll get cut; if you try to run,
you'll get shot." The city-slicker
writers found Roy a 'quiet, soft-'
spoken schoolteacher and
lieutenant living in a modern
cottage on the Harris,farm. Roy
told them' he was, part Indian
(Cherokee) and "I want to prove
that I afn a fighter and not a
secyth,". They all dutifully wrote
that down.
But it was life among Roy's
s relatives t h a t staggered them.
Less than 75 yds. from Roy's
cottage stood the eider Harris'
swamp-angel shack where, wrote
the New York Post's Milton
Gross (a Brooklyn type), "you'll
see barefooted and barebacked
kids whooping and hollering
through the woods and kittens
feeding off their mothers in the
front room. You'll see cattle and
hound dogs and the head of an
alligator long osince gone.
Chickens and hogs and rusty. tin
cans and discarded tires. You'll
see garbage strewn on the
ground, flies abounding in the
rooms, roaches on the wall and
the windows and doors wide
open for more to conic in."
Every Harris relative proved
a flack's bonanza. There was
Roy's father, "Big Henry" Har-
ris, a 237-1b., 47-year-old bear
who has been called "the best
fist, knee, knife and heel fighter
m the territory." Big henry rais-
ed his two sons, Roy and Tobe,
as fighters, roamed saloons for
daring comers, now tells Roy
to whip Patterson "or I'll sequin
you."
There was Uncle Jack, who
was once a character witness for
a man accused of bootlegging.
The court records in Montgom-
ery County show that, asked-
how he made a living, Uncle
jack replied':' "We are in the
hawg business: We steal a few,
We also makes a little whisky,
dynamites fish, shoots any kind
of game We pleases, runs Nester
fights and pitfights, bulldogs arid
such. We gets by right-near the
same as- all these old poor-
ruinned people around h e r
does." Asked how he knew the
defendant stole hogs, the re,-
cord'S answer: "because I some
times hold 'ern whilst he knocks

Ancient: -Satchel
Stitt- FOOS. Them CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING
Let us go back to say that
within 20 days all the chieftains
whom Montezuma had sent to
collect the tribute of gold, came
back again, And as they arrived
Montezuma Sent to summon Cos-
tes and our captains and certain
sesidlers whom he knew, who
belonged to his guard, and said
these formal words, or others of
like meaning:—
"I wish yeti to know, Senor
Malinche and Senores, Captains
and soldiers, that I am indebted
to your great King, and. I bear,
him good will both for being
such a great Prince and for hav-
ing sent to such distant lands to
make inquiries about me; and
the thought that most impresses
me is that he must be the one
who is to rule over us, as our
ancestors have told us, and as
even our gods have given us
to understand in the answers we
have received from them. Take
this gold which has been col-
lected; on account of haste no
more has been brought. That
which I have got ready for the
emperor is the whole of the
Treasure which I have received
from my father, which is in yoilr
possession and , in your apart-
ments
"When you send It to him, tell
him in your papers and letters,
`This is sent to you by your true
vassal Montezuma,' I will also
give you some very valuable
stones which you will send to
him in my name; they are Cha'-
chihuites, and are not to be
given to any one else but only
to him, your Great Prince, Each
stone is worth two leads of gold

And I also wish to give him

When Cortes and all of us
'heard this we stood amazed at
the great goodness and liberality
of the Great Montezuma, and
with much reverence we all doffs
ed our helmets, and returned him
our thanks, and ,.with words of
the greatest affection Cortes
promised him that we would
write to His Majesty of the mag-
nificence and liberality of this
gift of gold which he gave us
in his own royal nume. After
some more polite conversation
Montezuma at once sent his
Mayordomos to hand over all the
treasure and gold and wealth
that was in that plaatered cham-
ber, and in looking it over and
taking off all the embroidery
with which it was set, we weie
occupied for three days, and to
assist us in undoing it and tak-
ing it to pieces, there came
'lVtontezuma's goldsmiths from the
town named Azcapotzalco, and
I say that there was so much,
that after it was taken to pieces
there were three hoops of gold,
and they s weighed more than
six hundred thousand pesos, as
I shall tell further on, without
the silver and many other rich
things, and not counting in this
the ingots and slabs of gold, and
the gold in grains from the mines.
We began to melt it down with
the help of the Indian goldsmiths,
and they made broad bars of it,
each bar measuring three fingers
Of the hand across. When it was
already melted and made into
bars, they brought another pre-
sent separately which the Great
Montezuma had said that' he
would give, and it was a wonder-
tut thing to behold the wealth
of gold and the richness of the
other jewels that were brought:,
The gold I have spoken about
was marked with an iron stamp,
and the stamp was the, royal
arms.- The mark was not put on
the rich jewels which it did not
seem to us should be taken to
pieces.

quest of Mexico," by Bernaz Diaz

Tales Of The
Baseball Diamond
I've been looking Into the tra-
ditions of Wimbledon and they
are not at all the type that one
might think.
It turns out that this is not
a royal and ancient game at all,
The inventor was a major in
the Dragoon Guards. Major W
Clopton Wingfield. (This was
around 1870.) Proof that this
was a new game, and no rela-
tive of the game teat Shake-
speare publicized and Henry VIII
played at Hanapthn Court, is to
be found in the Patents Office.
The gallant major patented his
game. It had to be new to get
a patent.
Major W. Clopton Wingfield
called his game Sphairistike.
This is Greek and so was his
,game to most Eritlish people. As
it involved a racket and a bail
on the lawn the hoe polloi, as
Greeks and majors also had it,
simply called it "lawn tennis”
and left it at that, regardless
of the inventor's feelings.
Tennis, the earlier racket and
ball game, is now distinguished
as "real tennis" (royal tennis).
Its devotees find it hard to raise
a four, let alone an objection
to the use of the term "tennis".
This game was actually played
indoors, not out of doors and at
court rather than on a court.
It was extremely complicated
and niany of the latest rules
wer invented by Henry VIII (so
that he could win). ,
What the lawns of Wimbledon
were really for was-not tennis
at all but croquet. Here were
the headquarters set the All-
' England Croquet Club. In 1877
croquet, it seems, had tempor-
arily fallen upon hard times.
The All-England Club's horse-
roller (by which one means, tfe,
course, a roller pulled , by a
horse) was broken. Funds were
short. The grass was not gctod
enough for croquet. As' a special
attraction, a kind of croquet
player's joke,- the chub decided
to put on an All-England Ama-
teur Sphairistike Championship.
Twenty-two men — one notes
the influenCe of cricket — were
invited to take part, writes John
Allan May in The Christian:
Science Monitor.
HIS STATUS
Some years •ago, when Joe
Medwick was in his prime with
the St. Louis'Cardinals, he tour-
ed Europe with a group of enter-
tainers, Upon reaching Rome, the
troupe was granted an audience
with Pope Pius. His Holiness
politely 'asked each the nature
of his business.
"I'm a comedian," answered
one. ,.
"I'm a singer," replied another.
Then came Medwicks - turn.
With simple .dignity, he said,
"Your Holiness, I'm a Cardinal.
How Can I?

TWISTING
THE TIGERS TAIL
It happened in downtown
during a shoWing of that epic,
"Demetrius and ;the Gladiators."
Demetrius had just killed three
eigers ,in a hand-to-hand strug-
gle.- As the third beast breathed
his last, a baseball fan in the
audience turned to his buddy.
"Clines", he snorted, "the
Tigers lose three • in a row
again!"
By Anne Ashley
The Miami Marlins were try-
ing to play ghost, the game In
which each player suggests ;a
letter until someone completes
a word and loses, They were sit-
ting in the lounge of an airliner
bound for Rochester, sweat-
ing out stakes of 5 cents a round,
"Q," began Leroy Satchel
Paige, leading off on the basis
of seniority,
Henry Mason, a pitcher, con-
sidered briefly, "I challenge,
Satch," Mason said, deadpan.
"You don't know no words be-
ginning with
"Cucumber," Paige said. "Gim-
me my quarter,"
As he travels the baseball cir-
cuit for perhaps the 35th year,
Satchel Paige still makes up his
own rules, He misses planes, for-
gets curfews, and never bothers
to run, but nobody around the
Marlins complains- For Satch,
who may be 50 or 55 or 60, is
still unquestionably a magnifi-
cent pitcher. In one recent week
he relieved in three games for
the Marlins. Facing the hustling,
talented youngsters of the Triple
A International. League, he won
twice—against Rochester and
Richmond, Pitching for a sixth-
place club, his record is 6' and 4.
Apparently age cannot wither
his right arm.
Paige's career, which began on
sandlots in Mobile, Ala., some-
time before World War I took
him first through Negro leagues
where occasionally he moved his
fielders into the dugout so that *he could strike out the side more
dramatically. "The best I've
seen" Dizzy Dean said once, af-
ter Paige beat a troupe of big
leaguers, 1-0. In the majors
Paige worked more formally and,
although he was past 40 when
Cleveland signed him in 1948,
he stayed in the big leagues for
five years.
In his prime he drove a Cadil-
lac emblazoned with a sign,
reading: "Satchel Paige—world's
greatest pitcher." As a concession
to age, Paige has left the sign
off his latest car, but he had
added a refrigerator in the trunk.
"I puts fish there," he says. "No
one believes how big I catch
'em, .I puts the biggest ones there
and when someone disputes me,
I just take the fish out of the
trunk."
Since his fast ball has lost a
little of its hop, Paige has chang-
:"ed his pitching tactics slightly.
"I uses more psychiatry than I
used to," he says. "I stares at
them, slaps some rosin around
and by the time I lets go those
batter's legs starts to wobble."
In addition, Paige's assort-
ment includes the hesitation
pitch. He moves smoothly
through a kick and at the top of
the windup he stops. Then, when
he suspects the batter is relaxing,
he fires. Sometimes fooled bat-
ters protest. "But I ain't never
thrown an illegal pitch," Paige
says, "The trouble is once in a
while I tosses one that ain't never
been seen by this generation."
To what, generation does he
belong?
"I really is 49," he insists. "I'll
be 50 when the season quits in
September."
Looking at Paige, his body still
lithe, his hair untouched by gray,
you are tempted to accept the
answer as true. Then you recall
that Satch said exactly the same
thing seven years ago when he
was pitching for Cleveland.

Q. How can I change the air
in an invalid's room?
A, Pour a small quantity of
eau de cologne into a pan and
set 'fire to it. It will impart a
delightful odor.
Q. How can I Induce sleep in
a restless person?
A. A sheen dose of soda in a
glass of warm water before re-
tiring is often very effective.
Q. flow can I keep the mat-

PRESENT ABSENCE
A trial was scheduled to begin
in a South Carolina court when
it was discovered that the chief
witness was missing. An attend-
ant was assigned to go. about
calling the name of the missing
man; and finally a voice answer-
ed from the jury box. Through
error the witness had been sworn
in on the jury, and the judge
was forced to declare a mistrial!
The contest began—on July-9,
1877, in the then club grounds
in Worple Road, Wimbledon. A
day's interval was arranged 'be-
tween the semifinals and, the
final so that everyone could go
- to Lord's cricket ground to catch
a day of the Eten and Harrow
game. And it was, indeed, a
former HarroW boy, Mr. Spencer
W. Gore, Who won the first
Wimbledon sphairistilse final
next day.
Next year the Winner, Mr, P.
F. Hadow, came from Ceylon (on
leave): It was the first time he
had ever played the games And
so it went on in lighthearted
itishion like this, While croquet
got back On its feet, In, I think,
1884, there was a ladies' corn-
petition for the first trine. This
made ephairietike all the more
fun.
