Jo Jo announced his resignation late today after a long distance conversation with Ceneral man ager Earl Sheely of the Rainiers. I Jo Jo had said in San Francisco he thoucht the nod would bo to Johnny Bassler, one-time Seattle manager, who has been scouting, Sheely said, however, that "John-j ny hasn't been feeling well lately, and didn't feel quite up to it."

It was learned that O'Neill is reluctant to come to Seattle until the end of the season, but, accord ing to Cleveland sources, he def inetly is "interested." One version reported was that O'Neill could be obtained immed iately if the Rainiers were willing to assume the balance of his pres ent 1949 contract with Cleveland, which calls for a somewhat high er salary than the average paid a coast league manager. It was un derstood O'Neill was offered a good salary, plus a two or three year contract. Earlier today. Sick said Jo Jo was "out" and would be replaced as soon as a new manager could be found.

The Rainiers lost 12 out of 15 I games, the last nine in a row, I and tumbled from second place to ' fifth. I White took the whole shakeup j in stride, saying "it's baseball and ! that's all there is to it." His only regret was leaving the Seattle players. He described them a "swell gang" every one of them. This sentiment apparently w reciprocated, for all reports indicated that White was extreme- ly well liked by the players and rated as a as well. "It's a good ball club with fine pitching." White declared. "Three or four players have been in a slump and, if they come out of it, that will make all the difference in the world." ' He specifically named Neill j Sheridan, Hillis Layne and Heinz 1 Becker as fine players who have been in a batting slumo. "If they can get back to hitting their nor- mal averages. I am sure it will be a winning ball club again,' White said As for the future. White said simply that he was "looking for a job." He had nothing in pros pect, this thing having hit sud denly..

A Kamloops trout has been caught in Lake Roosevelt fehind Grand Coulee dam. i H. A. Gangmark. a biologist from the Seattle office of the fish and wildlife service, told of the catch. It was only an eight-pounder but it was officially identified as a Kamloops. Anglers in northern Idaho have long claimed that their Lake Pend Oreille has a virtual corner on the market for Kamloops, rainbow trout that weigh more than 30 pounds. Gangmark said he and Leonard Fulton were taking samples of fish at random from various parts of the lake with gill nets when they hauled up the kamloops They were conducting a special fish survey on the reservoir. Claude E. Greider, superinten- dent of the National Parks service, I said he was very enthusiastic about the catch and hoped that it misht make the lake a top-flight fishing spot. Back water from dams have often proved to be poor fishing grounds in the past, however, Greider and the fish and wild life sevrice said they were not prepared to- say where the kam loops came from but both agreed they are glad they're here. Coulee dam anglers have con- tended in the past that there wore kamloops in Lake Roosevelt. Members of a coast and geodetic survey found a dead fish last year i they estimated weighted 35 pounds.
