UP) Weak from fatigue, 15-year-old Tom Joyner Jr. got his fish yesterday after a marathon battle of nearly 19 hours, but he had some help.

After single-handedly fighting a sting ray weighing 370 pounds through a long night, several hours under a blazing sun, and finally through a driving rainstorm, Tom allowed divers to gaff and haul his catch to the beach. Until then, lt had been a standoff, with Tom playing the fish for 17 hours from the 600-foot long Patrick Air Force Base pier, and finally climbing Into boat to continue the fight in the Atlantic. THOUSANDS of spectators came and went during the day, Air police were called out to handle a massive traffic jam. Tom suffered a disappointment at midmorning, when two divers swam out to identify his catch as a sting ray. He had hoped that it would be a more highly prized game fish.

"But I'm still proud of him," said Tom's father, Air Force Sgt. Thomas Joyner, who also stuck with the boy from the beginning. Like the ancient fisherman in "The Old Man and The Sea," who lost a giant niarlin to sharks after a heroic battle, Tom struggled through the night. He was never able to haul the ray closer than 200 yards to the pier. Before the end of the night, the boy showed some distress.

Friends worked to keep him awake. HE RALLIED at daybreak and, as news of his fight spread through the nearby missile com- (Turn to Page 6, Column 2) hour weeks.
