CHINOOK TROLLING
PROSPECTS BRIGHT
PORTLAND MARKS MAID WHO HOLDS UNFINISHED LONG-BUN RECORD OP 13L jjIISS
' ARDhm TRaPSHDuTER
r BT WILLIAM C. BLOCK.
Rappy will be hundreds of local ang
lers with the passing of the month of
February, a each day in March brings
nearer the time when trolling for royal
Chinook salmon in the Willamette river
will affain be at Us height.
The coming season will undoubtedly
prove a banner one, due to the fact
that net fishing will not be permitted
at any time above the railroad bridge
which towers the Willamette river near
Oewego. The Immense stretch of water
between Oswego and Jennings Lodge
will afford elegant trolling and ac
commodate hundreds of boats with
room for all.
jL'suaily the first few fish are caug-nt
about March 20. Kain and water con
ditions usually control fishing condi
tions In the Willamette. After April 1
large runs of fish reach the trolling
frrounds and falls at Oregon City and
then the real sport starts. Many time
In the past it had been almost impossi
Die to secure ooais.
With the advent of spring and balmy
wea tner the royal Chinook, salmon en
ters the Columbia river with but on
Intent to travel up the many rivers
and streams as far as strength and con
dttiona will permit. Thousands of these
fish are temporarily held in the poo
below the falls at Oreeon City await
ing their chance to work Into the fish
ladder which lead? them over the fall
and into walcre of the upper Willam
ette.
it is while these fish are held up
that many an angler is tested at his
vry best or the new fisherman be
comes acquainted with "buck aue.
Often the inexperienced fisherman,
after well-worded remarks from the
veterans, steps out of his boat onto trrh
wharf possessing a fish that Is worth,
to him, its weight In gold. It often hap
pens that the inexperienced angler puts
the veterans to euame when the day's
lisning is over.
Not alone do the waters near the falls
at Oregon City afford good trolling.
31a ny, in fact hundreds of fish are
caught In the river from the mouth of
the Clackamas on down the Willamette
for two miles. Fishing water is unlim
ited and of a nature to be attractive to
those not desiring to tough out the
faster water near the falls.
Light tackle has played a very prom
inent part in salmon fishing
past years, and since the in
auguration of the Salmon club the en
Tollmen t of those using light tackle has
been on the increase every year.
Many anglers interested in aalmon
trolling are asain laying plans to try
out the trolling water near the St.
Johns railroad bridge, where good fish
lug has been realised during the pait
two seasosa,
e e
'Word has been received from the
trnral FL C Frishie, Oregon City vet
eran boatman, that his array of boat
w ill be betitfr than ever during the com
ing reason and that accommodations for
anglers seeking the lusty Chinook will
be improved in mny ways. KrisM as
be is known hy the veteran anglers,
believes that the coming season will be
bigger and belter than ever.
Anders loving tne art of aalmon
trolling should not overlook the Imp
qua river, as trolling In this strean
commences about the same time that
activity declines at Oregon City. It is
usually bet in the L'mpqua during June
and July. Thirty-pound fish are classed
a small ones ii. the L'mpqua river.
Steelhead fishing of late has caused
po real thrill. Evidently it remains
for some enthusiastic anpler to locate
the proper stream or possibly the fish
erman who prefer fly-fishing rather
lieUate at changing the ealmun-cgg
bait frequently.
Doubting the stories of Mr. Steha
bart relative to his steelhead exploring
trip a few days ago, Walter Uackus
and 1'hil Holms have taken the stand
of the man from Missouri and are now
eojoying a venture of their own on the
fttchaleut river.
e
Age advances rapidly with some men.
This is shown by plans now being
orawn up by Kay C Winters, who Lii
tinds having a fish pond at the rear
of his newly constructed summer bouie
at Oswego Lake. Likely, Kay will have I
to stock frequently, as many catches are
cue to be tfiiown accuruing to his pro
gramme for the comuag tuiuruer
months.
Fhould the eteclheads and ealmon
planted in Oswego Litke three years ago
continue their groto as they have in
tne pat much sport will soon be real
laed by ura of Cuithunk line and

Sporting News and Note.
wnat ao you regard as the most
unusual pitching feat in baseball?
Rigrnt off-band most people wotSd aay
a no-tut performance in the majors
against some club noted for its hitting
auuny. uuiers mitit regard the es
tablishing of a strikeout record for i
single game, or lor tne season, as more
meritonus than a no-hit affair. Most
pitchersyvill teli you that there is more
or leiss"uck figuring in every no-hit
performance. If they have had the
tionor to have worked such a game in
the majors, it is almost certain they
can name any number of games which
they regarded 'as better pitching e-
lorts.
That the element of luck does play
its part in sucn games was proven be
yond a doubt to me a few years ago.
I was working at St. Ivouis, and Bob
Groom happened to be one of the pitch
ers selected to toil. ' No one is in any
better position to judge the stuff of
a pitcher better than the umpire. Uroom
opened up like a world beater to me
that day. He had wonderful speed, a
dazzling curve, and hiH spit ball, which
he -used occasionally, was working fine.
I thought to myself at the close of the
first iunuig that Groom was in for a
big day. Despite the fact that Groom
never had more stuff in his life, the
opposition began taking liberties with
his delivery, and about the fifth Bob
was cooling his feelings under the
shower in the clubhouse.
A few days later Groom was cent
back. I was sitting on the bench while
he was warming up. It didn't seem to
me as if he was cutting loose. He
showed only ordinary speed and seemed
to be forcing himself. A few minutes
before starting time Manager Jones
asked him Tiow he felt. "Don't seem
to have much, my arm feels a jbit sore.
but if you want me to start I will do
my best." Groom showed me none of
the speed of a few days previous, yet
that afternoon he shut out, without a
hit, the Chicago White Sox, a team
with an array of batting stars, a club
that won the American League pen
nant and world's championship that
year. 1317.
Pitchers will tell you without the
slightest hesitation that the most un
usual feat a twirler can perform, from
their point of view, is to win 30 or more
games duriug a season. That it is some
feat is proven by the fact that only
one left-hander in the history of the
game, under the present pitching rules,
has ever been able to turn the trick.
To Frank Killen goe3 that honor. While
pitching for Pittsburg in 1&93 Killen
won 35 games and was the only pitcher
in a 12-club circuit to so perform that
season. Other great southpaws like
BreitenBtein, Jesse Tannehill, Waddell,
Marquard, Kucker and several others
have come within a game or two of
accomplishing the feat, but always fell
just short of the mark.

Trapshootir.g champions may como
and go, but the unfinished long run rec
ord of 131 for a woman chalked up by
Miss Gladys Keid of the Portland Gun
club at Kverding Park last summer
bids fair to stand for a few years un
less the fair markstnaids of the coun
try cultivate a more keen eye over a
distance route. -
It was only four years ago that
Gladys Reid, daughter of "Big Jim"
Reid of Si East Salmon street, had her '
first try at smashing bluerocks, and
on her maiden shoot broke but eight of
the 25 tarhawks that were shot out of a
trap at Kverding Park. Although her
father is a professional trapshooter,
Gladys Keid never took to the popular
outdoor sport until Gus Pert and hi
wife invited ber out to the traps of a
Sunday afternoou four years ago and
wagered that sho would bo unable to
nick more than five targets out of 25.
Since that day Miss Rtid has become
an ardent devotoe of the trapshootuis
game.
M;ss Reid's extreme modesty makes it
difficult to secure a more detailed ac
count of her trapshooting scores. The
day she failed to connect with ono
measly clay pigeon spoiled a little am
bition she has long cherished since her
entrv into the game of making a run.
of 150. She has chalked up 148 out of
150, which is something few men have
been able to do.
A few of Miss Reid's other soorc.s
which would put 99 per cent ef the ex
pert marksmen of the country to shame
follow: 9 out of lou; 98 out of lull; 87.
out of 100; 98 out of 100: 95 out of 100.
and 94 out of 100. As Miss Keid bash
fully says, "these are a few of my best
scores and I have plenty oi worse
ones."
It took a long time before I was
induced to take up trapshooting," said
Miss Reid yesterday. "It is great sport.
Some people who have played golf as
w.:ll as shoot tell me that trapshooing
is similar to golf and once you start
it secures an awful hold on you. The
idea of one always trying to better
their scyre in trapshooting is what ap
peals to me. I love outdoor life and
trapshooting is my favorite sport. If
the women would rid themselves of the
idea that trapshooting is a man's game
I am sure that extra traps would have
to be installed at the club. Trap
shooting is fascinating and as it is a
competitive sport I look to see more
women take it up in the future."
Miss Reid was out to the Portland
Gun club last Sunday for the first time
in months, but expects to enter all of
the shoots held at Everding Park this
summer.

The annual California-Nevada regis

In 1907 when Trampfast won the 2-year-old
