Bachman drowned out the commercials by discoursing on boxing. Bachman is a New Yorker whose calling card done on his own offset presses, which provide his livelihood is a two-minute commercial in itself. Piloted 3 Champs The card of this fight manager by avocation and printer by vocation lists two home and three office telephone numbers and reveals that Bachman managed three champions in Maxie Rosenhloom, Lew Jenkins and Bob Olin. Additionally, the card informs that Bachman has a stable of seven fighters. These include No.

6 ranked middleweight contender Rory Calhoun, who fights Yolande Pompey here Wednesday, and a pugilist with the intriguing monicker of Solomon McTier. Between rounds of the TV fight the other night, as he lounged on his hotel room bed, Bachman said in response to a question that he didn't know if Solomon McTier is Jewish or Irish. "All I know is Al Weill (former Rocky Marciano manager) once has McTier and cuts him loose and that McTier is a Negro heavyweight," said Bachman. "Once, when he was an international champion in the amateurs, he beats Pete Rade-macher. He Wondered Once "That name of his Solomon McTier? Yeah, I wonder about it once.

In the gym I ask him, 'Where'd you ever get that kind of name? But he don't say nothing. Just keeps punching the bag. What the heck. It's his name. His mother must of give it to him.

Why should I worry?" About Rory Calhoun, Bachman had a bit more info. "The fighter ain't named after the actor.

TheycTly Hot Time In Hot Slove Talk Now Is Giving Way Town To Ac lion Likes To By MERRILL DOWDEV Bobby Fischer, the 14-year-old Brooklyn 0 i who startled the chess world by winning both the United States open and closed championships in recent months, has made a deal with ski-meister Tony Kastner at the Grossinger County Club, Grossinger, N. Y. Fischer, who is just learning to ski, gets lessons from Kastner.

In return, the youngster is teaching the skiman how to play chess. Bobby should be qualified. He has beaten just about everyone in sight. "Bobby is an excellent student," says Kastner. "He's extremely anxious to learn.

Every morning I've found Bobby waiting for me when I came down to open up the ski shop." No doubt many readers of this column got a good look at young Fischer last Wednesday night when he appeared on television to receive tickets to Russia, where he will play in the big tournaments of that chess-minded country.

White has a move which helped win the first By LARRY BOECK A COMMENT of Frank Lane's the other day and a casual flipping through of these columns for the past few weeks brings out rather sharply how this sports world of ours has changed. What got us to thinking about it and of how hard tradition is to shake were the words of.Lane, the wily general manager of the Cleveland Indians.

Lane blasted spring baseball The Courier Sportsman Game Fish Divided Into Nest-Builders, Random Spawners By BURT MONROE Times have changed in the angling world. Not many years ago, the fishing season in Kentucky was closed during the spawning period in order to "protect" game species. Now, however, some of the best fishing of all is offered at the height of the spawning season. One of the chief goals of an angler is to be at the right spot at the right time during a spawning run. And it seems that those species which contribute the most toward making these runs famous broadcast their eggs at random into running water.

None are nest-builders. Kentucky's two most popular runs are those of the walleye and the white bass. And if the striped bass or rockfish, recently introduced into the State, becomes a success, a third run mny be added. Some of the rough fish which also scatter their egss at random over the bottom or in vegetation produce runs on the ripples of streams. This group includes the buffalo, redhorse and sucker among others less sought after.

Some anglers often speak of crappie runs; however, this species does not make the journey enmasse to the headwaters as do.es the walleye and white bass but rather leisurely gathers Giustolisi W'alther (White) (Black) 1 P-QB4 N-KB3 2 N-QB3 P-B4 3 N-B3 P-KN3 I 4 F-Q4 B-N2 5 P-K4 0 0 1 6 B-K2 P-Q3 7 0-0 N-R3 8 P-KR3 PxP 9 NxP B-Q2 10 B-K3 N-B4 1 11 Q-B2 P-QR3 12 QR-Q1 Q-Nl 13 P-B4 RBI 14 P-K5!

ICE HOCKEY And speaking of action, there's hardly a sport that crams more of it into one game than ice hockey. Our Louisville Rebels continue their season today in the Turner Trophy Playoffs.

They meet the Indianapolis Chiefs at 3 p.m. at Freedom Hall. Win, lose or draw in the playoffs, the Rebels have had a noteworthy season, indeed, in their first in the league. AUTO RACING Back with us again is auto racing. It began last week just about where it left off in the rain.

Sportsdrome Director Bob Hall had weather woes last season, too. He is the kind of a guy, though, who manages tn find that silver lining even in the blackest of twisting tornado clouds In his case, he points out that he's fortunate to have a concrete track. So, unless it pours near race time, the spins go on Time trials at 1 p.m. today and racing at 2:30 at the Sportsdrome near Jeffersonville. BOXING And returned to the Big Town, too, after a layoff is nationally televised box- dill 1 Bob Hall Bill King fhil Mflby training that starts in mid-January and lingers months before EARLY-BIRD through mid-April a big three play begins.

Anyway, some cuy a'ter a fight says 'That Calhoun is a roaring fighter'. "Now, Calhoun is named Herman Calhoun. My son don't go much for Herman Calhoun, so he hits on the name Rory Calhoun." We commented that Bachman seems to be a magnet for fight-1 ers with captivating monickers.

"Slapsy Maxie" Roenbloom, former champ, for instance. "The sports writers stick that Slapsy Maxie on Rosenbloom'," said Bachman. "It ain't that Maxie is a slappy guy mentally. Upstairs, he is dumb like a fox. For instance, always he wanted to he an actor.

So he used boxing as a stepping stone to acting. "Once I'm out in Hollywood and Maxie invites me to the studio where they are making a picture. Maxie goes gh his lines perfect. The star, he louses things up a couple of times. "In a restaurant once Maxie and me are eating and he has a script.

He studies part of it just a few minutes, then tells me to listen. "Then bing, bing, bing out comes the words perfect. He 'Sort of Slaps' "But I am off the beat. About that name, Slapsy Maxie. He gets this because he breaks a hand and from once being a rough puncher he now sort of slaps.

But he becomes champ anyway." By now, the television fight was oevr. A visitor commented that next time Bachman comes to town he should bring along Solomon McTier, "Maybe I will," says Bachman, and then adds, a twinkle in his eye and a smile curling his lips: "And for an opponent, a friend of mine at the Union Settlement House in Harlem has a heavy named Patrick Cohen."

By becoming acquainted with the life history of each of the game and rough fishes, the angler can tell fairly accurately when each will be on its spawning grounds. Game Fishes Spawn at Different Seasons From early May into June, largemouth bass use their fins to scoop out a circular depression about one or two feet in diameter in the sand, silt, hard mud or dead leaves on the bottom.

When the water temperature reaches 66 to 70 degrees, the eggs are laid. Kentucky bass nest on gravel bottoms at 61 or 62 degrees and smallmouth bass, preferring colder water, begins nest building on a gravel or pebbly sand bottom at about 58 degrees. Bluegills spawn from May to September at even higher temperatures than the largemouth bass. They are known as "colonial" spawners and a "bream bed" looks like a large piece of honeycomb with the rims of the nests practically touching All-Breed Show on May 4 The Lexington Kennel Club will hold its spring all-breed dog show at the Keeneland Race Course May 4 the day after the Kentucky Derby.

to the chairman. eacn other. Crappie spawning is usually associated with a water temperature of about 58 degrees. It is not a "colonial" nest builder as are many of the other sunfish. Rock bass likewise are very selective in spawning, placing their rather poorly constructed nests in gravel or sand beside a stump, rock or dump of weeds generally in May or June.

Among the more popular rough fishes, the channel catfish, along with the big blue and flathead catfishes, make their nests in a hole in a bank, beneath submerged stumps, under overhanging rock ledges, in underwater muskrat runs, hollow logs, large tin cans, tile and other similar objects. And most catfish nest in June or July when the water temperature reaches about 75 degrees. Generally speaking, it appears that game species which feed principally on other fishes spawn at a lower temperature than do the forage fishes which serve as their food. For instance, the walleye spawns at 45 to SO degrees, the crappie at 58 degrees and the black bass at about 58 to 63 degrees. Among the forage fishes, the chub sucker spawns at 63 degrees, the bullhead at 77 and the white catfish at 80 to 82 degrees.

Spawning season brings excellent angling and the fisherman shouldn't be too concerned about making any serious dents in the population of fishes as a result. Nature provides for this by having these species lay a terrific number of eggs each year. Scatlershots In order to promote wildlife practices under the Federal. Soil Bank Program, the Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources is co-operating closely with the Soil Conservation Service in contacting interested individuals and agencies throughout the Slate.
