Golden Trout Bonanza
Found In Cascade Lakes
Anglers may find better trout
fishing in several central Oregon
lakes next summer as a result of
game commission control meas
ures. The game commission has
aimed their control program at
reducing undesirable roach pop
ulations found in these waters. .
The lakes include East, Pauli
na, Big Lava and Odell. An es
timated 24i,loo roach were de
stroyed in East Lake, Paulina and
Big Lava. Another two-and-a-half
tons of roach were taken; from
Odell. .- . . i
' Trap and gill nets, along with
the chemical rotcnone, were used
to clear up the Lakes. ,
Geld Strike In The Cascades
Thar's 'gold in them thar hills,
pardncr golden trout, that is
and from all indications the
strike is a bonanza. Fittingly en
-ougJi, the big strike ,is in Golden
lake, north of Broken Top Moun
tain near the Three Sisters. ,- i
Injuries Put
Union Players
On Sidelines
UNION i Special)' The Union
Bobcats have their work cut out
for them this week. Injuries have
been cropping up right and left
and Coach Bud Lewis hopes the
end is in sight. .,
King Spain, 142-pound freshman
fullback, was the latest addition to
the injured list. Spain was rushed
to the Grande ltonde hospital Wed
nesday night when he was litart
during practice. X-rays showed
Spain had a fractured bone in his
right leg and will be out for most
of the season.
' Lewis sakl Spain was coming al
ong real well in practice and he
will be a big loss to the club this
year.
Harry Swart, a senior tackle on
the Bobcat squad is out with a dis
located elbow. Swart will rejoin
the squad in nbout two weeks.
Alan Livingston, who started last
week's game against La Grande at
fullback, will be back to practice
probably tomorrow, after nursing
an Injured ankle for the past few
days.
A junior with two years' exper
ience, Stan Wilde is sitting out
this week with a bad arch. Taping
fails to give the arch the needed
support and Lewis says it has fail
ed to respond to treatment.
Lewis says the team is in good
spirit and the morale is high fol
lowing the- Bobcat loss to La
Grande. Bud, in his second year
at Union, is well pleased with the
way the boys played in the second
half of last week's game. I
Lewis has been running the boys
through some real tough scrim
mage sessions in an attempt to
correct weaknesses found in last
week's game.

The fish were stocked last Oc
tober and reports of limits with
fish ranging in size from seven
to nine inches are coming.
Carver, East and Middle Cham
ber lakes in the Chambers lake
basin were all stocked about the
Itame time. All plants were made
with the aid of pack horses. ,
More golden trout were aerial
dropped, on an experimental ba
sis, into Camp, . Skinner, East
Chamber, Moraine and R i m
Lakes. All the plants so far arc
experimental and it is not known
whether or nut the waters in the
Chambers lakes basin will be
suitable for golden trout produc
tion. From indications, however, it
appears that the trout in Golden
lake may be a "mother lode" for
anglers.

ngling on the lower Grande

spotty with a few catches being
made. Rainbow angling at Mor

flies, lures and bait. The North
fork of Catherine Creek is fair
to Rood for rainbow.
The Wallowa river and Prairie
creek are producing good catches
of rainbow and Eastern Brook
trout.
Steelhead angling on the lower
flmnaha river below Cow creek is
fair to good; the best catches of
steelhead have been made in the
deep riffles. Rainbow angling on
the Imnaha is best from the Im-
naha store to the Freezeout
bridge, and Dolly Vardcn angling
is best above the Blue Hole.
The Snake river at Dug bar is
providing excellent smallmouth

2nd Win
The I i Grande Tigers are go
ing stalking down Highway 30
'.onipht in quest of a BulHog
Coach Franz Maun will load hit
bluetlad Tigers on a bus late
this afternoon fur a safari into
the town of Buker in quest for
his second victory of the season.
The Bulldozs will be ready and
waiting for the Tiger crew and
capable of putting a dent in the
Tiger's plans. Missing from this
year's Baker team will be many
uf the boys who split a two game
series with the Tigers last year.
La Grande lost a 32 27 decision
to Baker in the first game last
year but came back to edge the
Bulldogs 27 25 in a second clash
Haun will be out to make It
two straight over the Bulldogs
but the weatherman doesn't look
like he is going to offer , any
help.- A wet, muddy field could
seriously hamper the chances of
the Tigers,
Kay Westcnskow and a trio of
fast backs may be slowed down
by mud. The aerial game be
comes a much more dangerous
gamble in the rain. If the big
linemen up front can contain the
liaker backs and stop an aggres
sive, ground game the Tigers'
chances will be considerably im
proved.
Haun will go with the same
lineup that started last week's
26 0 victory over the Union Bob
catst Big Chuck Corey, a 200
pound senior, will start at left
end. Ron Colman, 190 pounds,
will get the call at tackle. . Eric
Ostcrhome will complete the
senior side of the line at right
auard. Gary Voruz, 200 pounds
of junior center, will anchor the
middle of the Tiger line.
Laurence Smutz, who got his
first taste of varsity competition
last week will go again at the
iii'.ht cuard spot. Junior Don
Graham, a standout in practice
this week, will be at tackle and
Dennis Spray, ' little man in the
Tiger line at 170 pounds, will be
the starling right end.
In the backfield things are on-
ferent. Ray Wcslenskow will De
the field general for the Tigers
and Jim Cornctt will move to lefj
half to fill in for the injured
Jim Milliard.
Two new faces will be in the
tartine backfield for La Grande
tonight. Don Smith, a two-year
veteran, will stirt at lullDacx lor
the Tiwers. Smith will be joined
in tonight's starting lineup by
Dale Peterson at right halfback.
Both Smith and Peterson are sen
iors and experienced, capable
performers fcr La Grande.
Peterson has been playing at
the end post for the first part ci
the year but the injury problem
has forced Haun to move him
into the backfield.
Game time is scheduled for
p.m. on the Baker field.
on the north fork of the John
Day is slow but excellent catches
of whitefish are being made
Rowe creek reservoir is low and
angling tor rainbow should be
good to excellent.
Hunting
Dove hunting continues good
through Northeastern Oregon.
Doves have started to move out
of Morrow, Gilliam and Wheeler
counties. Hunting is still good
near grain fields.
Deer and elk are plentiful in
all archery areas although they
remain scattered. Recent rains
have improved stalking condi
tions and success.

NEW YORK ITU' Xeo'Du
rocher. finally assured the "stock
deal" be has held out for since
1956, will be named manager of
the Cleveland Indians . between
now and World Series time, It was
learned today from an authorita
tive American League source.
Durocher's hiring by the In
dians will set off a chain of
events that will include:
Joe Gordon, currant Cleve
land manager, moving to Detroit
as manager of the Tigers. -
Jimmie Dykes, present Detroit
pilot, returning to the job he left
as coach of the Pittsburgh Pi
rates. 1 '
And the strong possibility of
Chuck Dressen coming to Cleve
land next year from Los Angeles
to serve as coach under Durocher
just as ne am tor many years
with the Brooklyn Dodgers.
Back in '60 Maybe
When he arrived in Pittsburgh
Thursday night for one of his fi
nal NBC-TV assignments. Duroch
er said:
"There's a better than even
chance I will be back in uniform
for the 1960 season.
Ever since he left the Giants in
1955, Durocher has insisted the
only way he would consider com
ing back into baseball would be
under a stock arrangement where
by he would manage the club and
be permitted to hold stock In it.
The Indians have okayed a
stock deal for Durocher, accord
ing to I Pi's source, but it is a
bit different than Leo had sought.
Instead of being given stock in
the Cleveland Baseball Club, Du
rocher is being given shares of
blue-chip stocks now held by the
owners of the Indians.
Insisted on Stock Deal
As (ar back as last July 8, Du
rocher told this reporter in Pitts
burgh that there "is a good pos
sibility I'll be back in , baseball
with an American League club
next year" but he insisted it
would only be under an arrange
ment where he could hold stock.
Since that time, Durocher was
sounded out by Cleveland General
Manager Frank Lane about man
aging the Indians in 1960 and the
final obstacle was removed with
the inclusion of the stock deal.
