THE LOSERS SAY ‘DEAL AGAIN’—Sonny Liston, in winning
the heavyweight championship from Floyd Patterson, added meaning
to the phrase, “.... the good big man” .... The question in the
min'ds of some boxing experts is, can Sonn be a “good man” out of
the ring? This has been his problem in the past .... The fight was
the most thoroughly covered bv the press of any in recent years.
Even former champion Joe Louis “experted” the fight for a press
syndicate .... Sports Network Incorporated, which supplies baseball
games for AFRS-NY during the season, video-taped the fight, and
had the tape on a plane for Britain 12 minutes after the knock-out
(02:06 first round) .... Time of knock-out was third fastest in
heavyweight history .... Floyd Patterson, promised a ‘return’ by
Liston, picked up more than one million dollars for the trouble and
the headache .... Patterson’s dressing room at Comiskey 'Park was
the one used by A1 Lopez of the White Sox during the baseball season'
.... Lopez also knows how it feels to come in second best .... This
year, with the Yankees finishing first (again) Lopez won’t be able
to be the bridesmaid .... This year, in the American League it’s
“Twins-bridesmaids!” Dan Topping, Yankee co-owner, noting the
Dodger lead in the National League Pennant race, said, ‘I hope it’s
the only lead they have till next season.’ .... Both teams playing in
the World Series that started Wednesday, Oct. 3d, had been playing
“tired” baseball the past three weeks of the season' .... Maybe 162
games are too many after all .... "Bus” Mosbacher, skipper of the
Weatherly, successful defender of the America’s Cup, is probably just
as happy the Aussies don’t have 162 changes at the U.S. 12 meter
yacht .... Gretel, the challenger, while only winning one race, was
getting better with every tack .... The challenge supposedly cost
the Australian syndicate one million dollars .... Which brings us
full circle .... Patterson nicked up that much in losing .... Inciden-
tally, “Doc” Greene, sports columnist of the Detroit News, was the
only writer in a UPI poll, who picked Liston in the first round.

Our “Miss Melody,” whose de-
lightfully femin'e voice is heard
over AFRS five evenings a week
by thousands of Americans and
Icelanders ,receives more than 100
letters each month.
But never did she dream that
her voice was being carried many
miles out to sea and picked up
nightly by the anonymous (until
n'ow) and dedicated fans aboard
the USS REQUISITE (AGS-18).
In fact, they enjoy her voice
and program so much that they
wrote her the following letter.
Dear Miss Melody.
We have been up here in the
Iceland area for the last two
months on operations, and we
listen to your program every night
that it is on. We have often wond-
ered from the soun'd of your voice
just what you look like. We all
have wives or sweethearts at
home. But we have taken a vote
and it is unanimous that you have
Abner, on one of his infrequent
visits to town, carries a jug under
one arm and a shotgun in the
other. Walking up to his neigh-
bor Lem, he levels the shotgun at
him and orders him to drink.
Coughing and whooping, Lem
says, “Tarnation, that’s horrible
stuff!”
“Ain’t it though?” concedes Ab-
ner. “Now hold the gun on me
while I take a swig.”
Jack: “I haven’t seen your wife
for a long time. Is she as pretty
as ever ”
Jim: “Yes, but it takes her a
lot longer to get that way than
it used to.”
Two Hungarian citizens were
discussing the Soviet bloc’s Coun-
cil for Economic Mutual Aid.
First Hungarian: “What is this
‘mutual aid’ they talk about ”
Second Hungarian: “We help
the Soviets by loading our goods
on the train in Hungary, an'd they
help us by unloading them in
Moscow.”

the sweetest voice that we have
ever heard on any circuit. We
have chosen you as our “Miss
Radio Shack of the Iceland Cruise
1962” aboard the USS REQUIS-
ITE (AGE-18).
There are two small requests
that we would like to make if it
would be possible. First and fore-
most, we would like very much
to have an autographed picture
of you to post on our bulletin
board in the shack. Our second
request is for you to play a dedi-
cation to our radio supervisor.
The song that we would like to
dedicate is “All Shook Up” by
Elvis Presley. If you could play
the record on' your evning show
on the 6th of October, we would
appreciate it very much. If you
can’t make it on the show that
evening, we will try to keep our
supervisor listening for it.”
Her fans received an immediate
reply in which she thanked them
for the honor and assured them
the song would be played. Unfor-
tunately it could n’ot be played
on the night requested, but it was
played last Wednesday. Her pic-
ture was taken last Tuesday and
it should reach them in a few
days.
As has been the policy in the
past, her identity will remain a
secret until her departure. An ex-
ception was made for the men of
the USS REQUISITE.
