Robinson's demand for a guaran- tee from the theatre TV showings of his contemplated bout with with Gene Fullmer of Wcut Jor- dan, Utah, has brought a temper- ary delay to the negotiations for the middleweight title bout.

Muskrat Breaks Log Boom Easily

OLD SHOP. Nfld. (CP) - A large, indignant muskrat who fig- ured his private fishing and swim- ming rights were being violated bad the laugh on a logging crew near this east coast village last week.

Sawmill operator Alfred Cooper had his men drive a large boom of logs down John Shore's Pond. They were unaware of the musk- rat's bslcful glares as they hitched some of the logs to a trac- tor and hauled them 200 yards to the highway... .. .. ..

When they returned for a sec- ond load the big logs were scat- tered all over the pond. The musk- rate had gnawed through a IV: inch manila rope and wrecked the boom.

He continued swimming around the pond, apparently enjoying his mischief. and the loggers swear he was wearing a look of con- tempt.
