' By Dob Harger fSalem can well boast one of the finest juvenile angling- streams in th country." From Gunner's Brook in Vermont to; Merced Lake in f&n Francisco there are countless ponds, brooks and puddles set aside for the youngsters. When legislative action two years ago set aside (the nearly 17 miles of Mill creek for the kids, a precedent was estab lished in Oregon. From that action came a bill this year (already I passed and signed by the governor) giving the Oregon Game Comm. power to set aside certain waters in other parts of Oregon for juvenile - f bihinV. ' :As many of us know. Mill creek is one of the nicest little trout tceojns in the- Willamette valley. For years it was one of the favorite i haunts of local adult anglers who took many a limit catch from its flashing riffles and deeper runs. Every season brought tales of a big we that busted tackle and rod tips. At first some of the local boys j grumbled a bit over having to give up their fishing rights on Mill cteek. But as the days passed "and the grumblers saw the hundreds of kids lining the banks and bridges along the 17 mile waterway from , Ctayton on down through Aumsville, Turner and Salem to the mouth of tke creek where it empties into the Willamette river, thea grumbles kited eut and changed to voices of approval. ; j .

Is Made to Strengthen Club; Wilkie Twirls Opener By Al Llghtner "j. !- One of the biggest player deals ever engineered in the clreuit was last night consummated as the brand new and home owned Salem Senators made ready to charge into opening Western International league f baseball warfare with the Tri-City Braves at Waters field tonight. The Senators, looking high, low and in between for pitching help, traded Mel (Ham bone) Wasley to Spokane for both pitcher Ray McNulty and Outfielder Glenn Stetter. Neither of the latter would report to the Tribe this season. I f know Mel is a good.ballplayer and is popular here," General Manager Hugh Luby said in announcing the deal. "But we're getting a good pitcher who is also well known he e in McNulty, and! besides that the outfielder who led the league in hitting last season 3n Stf t ter. I am reluctant to let Mel go, but am doling it in an effort ito strengthen our club. 1 think we are getting much the better of the del." i i Stetter, a Salem resident, will be in uniform tonight when Ihe 1951 bell rings.
