Boxing's Greatest Developer Is Dead
ALPH HENNESSEE, concession owner at the School House Slough, notes better winter channel cat fishing and several crappie catches. Anglers flocked to the Slough, with more expected Sunday, while Lake Lawtonka saw little activity. Temple area plans with Fish and Game official Hutchinson to stock quail cover through farmers, with shrubbery supplied by the department. Some anglers push to lower fishing licenses, but proponents say funds fund stocking programs. Mike Jacobs, famed boxing promoter, dies at 70 after a life shaping the sport, from East Side roots to dominance, leaving a mixed legacy and bitter final interview about modern fighters and promoters. The boxing world gathers for his rites as tributes pour in.
