Harold Elbert of Route S, Box MS. Salem, and the bl bass no took
from Ilnmbug lake. --'' '
- ' Who lays the black bass don't grow big In the Willamette valley?
Harold -Elbert, Route 8, Box 003, Salem, one of the area' most ardent
bass anglers thinks otherwise. Plug caster Elbert spends a lot of bis
evenings tossing plugs at the wily bass and uses a light spinning
., tn tr.c thm with. One of his favorite spots Is Humbug lake
. TnHwwndpnre where the bass srow big and plentiful. The 6 lb.
scrapper pictured above is one of Elbert's largest bass, nut ne says
hr am niontv nf them in the area that will top the 8 lb. mark.
Ti So bass anglers who may not think much of this area had better
changetheir tunes (and their lures) and go out and give the Willam
ette river area a,going over. j -
According to a goodly number of anglers who favor tho San-
tlam river for their piscatorial efforts, they swear that this season
Is by far the best they have seen for years. Insect life seems quite
abundant and the fish are fat and In excellent condition. Too,
the fish are running larger than in seasons gone by. There have
been numerous rainbow treat bittinr Je 14 to II Inch mark and
mKt of them have fallen to a dry fly.
Just what the reason is for this phenomenal comeback that is
almost overnight, no one can rightfully say. It may be because of the
lack of a secies of flash floods last winter that enabled the insect
life to stay put and not be swept jiwayrexcept In certain stretches.
Fithing Good Between Detroit and Stayton
From Detroit all the way down to Stayton the fUhlnc has
been very food during- the past few weeks. The evening- fly fishing
seems to be the best with that last couple of hours beforerdark
producing most of the larger fish. Small gray hackle flies with
palmered bodies are one' of the best with a blue dun and small
caddis buck doing their share. There are those who swear by the
old Royal Coachman dry fly and It would seem that size wort
than pattern fa the deciding factor. v 1 1 ; j
From Stayton on down to the mouth of the Santiam above Buena
Vista; the rainbow sort of disappear and the cutthroat take over. In
the lower river trolling and spinning seems to be the best method
to lure the cuthtroat into the creel. Some mighty fine catches have
been made in the lower river and it is pleasing to note the increased
interest being shown in the Santiam as a trout stream. It can stand a
lot of fishine pressure if. the old river is really making a comeback.
Perhaps the new dam at Niagara will permanently check the gash
floods and make the Santiam one of the best trout streams in the
state. Without any doubt it is one of the most scenic of Oregon's
rivers and It Is a lot wilder and faster than a lot of folks would think.
It is no easy stream to navigate in a boat unless one knows what he
is doing. Even then the going can get mighty rough at times.
Comeback of Santiam Causing Excitement
Whether or not the Santiam is making a permanent comeback,
it Is wonderful to learn that at least for this season the fishing
-, is something to cause a lot of excitement In certain angling cir-
Nice to see that there will be an' extended deer season for those
poor souls, who do not get their deer during tho regular season. Now
we can go out for the regular season and if we fail to connect before
the deadline we don't have to cry about it. Some one Is right handy
to pat ms on the bach and- say we're certainly sorry you had no luck
Joe, just go right back on out there for the next two days and shoot
anything that moves. Never mind being a sportsman and looking for

Perhaps If enough anglers get together we can Inveigle tho
Game eommish to extend next winter's steelhead seasor a few
extra days Just In case some of its didn't get our s tee lies during
the regular winter season. Too, maybe the U.S. Fish A Wildlife

duck hunters who fail to shoot their limit of birds. -As
a matter of fact, why have any season at all? Why not ring
the bell and declare all seasons open on everything. It will hurry tho
end of an wildlife and then we won't have any to worry about. !
What a Lake Thi$ One Must Be
. Iteard this week about a lake near Kami oops, B.G, where
tho fish ruii from 5 to S lbs. and are as wild as Brooklyn Dodger
fans. Party who related the tale tells us that the fish Jump 6 feet '
' Into tho air (all in one Jump) before deciding they are not
birds., tho accommodations in that area are not yet beyond tho
reach of we mortals and tho best month, September, Is yet to

SEATTLE, July 20-(VJohn Marshall of Yale and Australia, and
Ford Konno of Hawaii, both bettered the world record for the mile
swim today In preliminary races opening the 1950 AAU men's out
door swimming championships. -
Marshall won the first heat In
20:09.6 to smash by nearly 20 sec
onds the 2029 mark set in 1942 by
Ken Nakama of Hawaii. Along tho
route Marshall wrecked four Amer
ican records and his mile time also
bettered the American standard.
Konno, much smaller than Yale's
Australian import-went the mile in
20 -J22 J&. He was not timed at inter
mediate distances. The surprise
performance by Konno pointed to
ward a terrific battle tomorrow
evening in the mile finale.
Along the way, Marshall reset
the 550-yard American record at
6:05.1, the 1,000-yard at 11:18.3,
the 1,000-meter at 12:46.6 and the

NEW YORIC, July 2H?VSat
chel S Paige, .the rubber armed
pitching, veteran, might become a
major league ballplayer again;
and sooner than anyone thinks.
Both Mel Ott and Carl Hubbel
of the New York Giants front of
fice were on hand when the age
less hurler went three innings in
an exhibition game last night
Neither Ott nor Hubbell would
comment on whether the Giants
are Interested in signing Paige.
They just "came to see the game."
However, when Paige was lifted
after his three inning stint both
made a quick exit
Paige was equally non-commit-
taL "I've had offers from two
clubs, but I'd rather not say which
two," he said.

Leaves Hospital
With Prize Wing in Sling
. BOSTON. July SMVTed Williams, his injured left elbow sup
ported In a sling, left the hospital today hopeful of returning to the
Red Sox lineup sooner than his doctors expect "I hope to be back
much sooner than they think, but Fm not going to take any chances
and rush things," tne American
league slugger told newsmen be
fore going home. '
i Williams said his elbow stUl is
partially covered by a plaster cast,
but that the stitches will be re
moved Saturday and he will sit on
the bench with his teammates dur
ing the- weekend games - with the
St Louis. Browns. ; '
As soon as the incision heals, the
lanky. slugger plans to take exer
cises consisting of moving the hand
and raising the elbow in a whirl
pool bath.
I think m have good move
ment in the arm and will be able
to play in six weeks", Williams
said hopefully.
: But his doctors, Orthopedic Sur
geon Joseph SborteQ and Joseph
McCarthy, club physician, are
doubtful if Ted can return again
this season. They said that only a
piece of the radius bone in the el
bow was taken out in the opera
tion last Thursday, and "we'll have
to wait and see how it heals,1
