good on flies and lures. - -
The. Oregon State Game Com
mission has released the follow
ing . forcasts for weekend fishing
throughout Oregon: :'
Northwest Sea-run cutthroat
angling is slow in Kecanicum and
Nehalem rivers. Sam recently
planted trout are being taken. there
and is Sunset and Cullaby lakes.
Water conditions are ideal. Marked
cutthroat have been planted in
most of the streams in the TiHa-mook-Nestucca
area.- Fishing
should be locally fair to good fbr
the planted fish with a scattering
of wild sea-run cutthroats. 'Jack
salmon fishing is slow. Very few
Chinook are being caught in Nea
tucca Bay. Steelhead fishing from
Sauvie Island has- improved con
siderably in the last few days; and
prospects are good for the week
end. Trout fishing on the Clacka
mas river is expected to be good
with bait still producing the best
catches. "Tishing continues to be
good on the McKenzie and Willa
mette rivers and tributaries. Row
river. Coast Fork, and Long Tom
are producing fair angling. Dorena
Reservoir is improving, and Look
out Point- Reservoir continues to
be good. Clear Lake oh the Mc
Kenzie has improved with recent
plantings. Catches of small fish
are being taken in lakes in the Mc
Kenzie Pass area.' Linton Lake
has been spotty. Spiny-ray fishing
is good .at Dorent, Fern Ridge, and
Cottage Grove reservoirs and . at
Triangle Lake. ;. In the Lincoln
County area a few sea-run cut
throats are in the. rivers. A few
Chinooks and silvers are in the
bays and are being taken by
mooching.,- Many plants of fish
have been made in the rivers, and
if the weather-remains fair, fish
ing should be good during ; the
week end Trout fishing is expect
ed to be fair on the upper Sandy
and tributaries. Shad fishing has
virtually ceased, in the Troutdale
area. ; In . the central Willamette
Valley Detroit reservoir is still
producing some fair catches with
trolling the most effective method.
Other streams in this area remain
slow. . -
Southwest Winchester Bay
salmon angling is good with many
limit catches being made. Herring
is preferred, bait. Salmon angling
is reported good at Coos Bay.' Ten
mile lakes and. other central coast
angling is generally slow. Salmon
fishing on the lower Rouge river
is improving with fair catches be
ing made on both spinners and
bait Trout angling is slow in south
coastal streams and lakes. Some
sea-run cutthroat are being taken
at both "Sixes and Elk rivers. Sal
mon fishing is good at Brookings.
Trout fishing is good to excellent
in nearly all sections of the Rogue

Macera Meets

Weather still remains, the big fly in the ointment when it comes
to. salmon fishing. There have been too many davs-on the coast
when the boats were forced to stay inside the bar. Even the charter.
I
i
Bn Barger
'-i boats have had tough luck and have been forced to
J stay Ued np mucHoi the time from Winchester
' to.Depoe Bay v' . . The past week-end however, saw
I two of the heaviest chinook netted in this area for
I many a day: Mrs. Monroe Miller, of Dayton, was
fishing the mouth of the Nestucca river with Mr.
Miller and a couple of friends. Herring was being
t used for a try at mooching -o the incoming tide.
Mrs. Miller proved to be the lucky angler of the
, day bringing to net two big chinook; weighing 37
lbs. and 50 lbs. . . . This puts a new light on the
.local salmon moocbiss. Ii small boats can take big
1 chinook Inside ' the bars of the smaller rivers it
means the opening up of new fishing areas during
? the : summer. -It would seem that the chinook sal
mon which . usual Iv feed - around Havstack ' Rock
and off the mouth of the Nestncca are inclined to follow' schools of
herring or pilchard into the bay. -v.4 ?.i - . -r - .
This is no news to Newport or Winchesterwhere'the salmon have
been feeding inside each year for some time. It is rather new -however,
on the Nestucca. New n the sense that perhaps the angler
is jusf learning something more of the feeding habits and whims
jot the salmon .... t .
Sdmon 'AIooching' Makihg Huge Gains ' -
The method of taking salmon, known as herring moochin?!, 1
is really getting a firm hold a the Oregon coast. The method
seems to be the most consistent in taking fish ef any of the '
salmon fishing trick! It would not surprise this column to see
herring replace the." spoons, spinners and pings ia a near 100 .
percent sweep. : ... .
. In fishing the inside bar of the smaller rivers and bays it is wise
to choose the incoming tide. . An ebbing tide can mean danger to
small boats should the motor conk out unexpectedly. Too, a west
wind -blowing in against an outgoing tide can tause some mighty
rough water even inside the bay for a few hundred yards. -,
No fish is worth risking your life for, yet many salt water anglers
seem to think the sea is no more than a big puddle of water. Every
year sees a few upsets and drownings along the northwest coast It
is needless if the boat operator, will use his head and stifle that
urge to "take-a-chance." Normally you are allowed only one mistake
in the sea. You dont get a second chance . . . . -
Ken Graber Salem sportsman, tagged Wickiup reservoir last
week tor a 12 lb. brown trout. This is quite a sizeable fish and '
bears ent the theory that Wickiup fish are growing larger since '
the added water, which has flooded more food bearing ground.
Although the waters of Wickiup reservoir are now rather soupy
with algae, the fishing should remain fair. Fish do not stop feeding
simply because the water is not crystal clear. The main object is to
offer a lure that may be seen for some distance through the murk . . .
Conditions Fine' for Ducks -in Canada r V
A recent report from Bert Cartwright, chief naturalist for
Dacks Unlimited, informs us that things look bright' in the ?
north country for this year's dock crop. Plenty of rain through--:
ont June afforded sufficient water and there seems to be no
worry in any of the provinces of a draught. Broods of young
, ducklings average six to the family and this is above the nor
mal nesting, average Unless some nnforseen tragedy occurs we
should have plenty of docks. An above average return to the
nesting grounds was noted this spring, and there should be a -noticeable
increase over last year's southward migration. '
.What most hunters want to know, however, is whether or not the
weather will be the same as last year's. Unusually warm weather
well into winter caused the birds to stay north longer than they
normally would have. If the present Oregon weather reaches up
into Canada, .we may expect, the birds down here and gone by late
summer, : r V . : . w r i .. ' . -- r
If we tould fly we'd be gone, too. v it. -
B ob Branca Joins NY Yankees
After
Release
Detroit
. . i -- ..
NEW YORK W Ralph Branca,
' who pitched fcr three-World Series
losers as a member of the Brook
lyn Dodgers, joined xhe five-time
world champion. New York Yan
kees Thursday. '
The' big righthander, only 28 des
pite nice years of big league serv
ice, had been a free agent follow
ing his unconditional release by
the Detroit Tigers last week. ' r
Branca,1 a native New Yorker,
began his . major r league career
with Brooklyn in .1945 and was
sold to the Tigers last July. He won
21 games in his first -full season
with the Dodgers in 1947 but never
lived up to that again.
Branca reached his lowest point
in the final game of the 1951 play
offs between Brooklyn and the New
York Giants when he threw, that
famous home run pitch to Bobby
Thomson. The ' blow gave the
Giants the pennant Branca never
quite got over that, winning only
four 'games in the next two seasons
with the Dodgers. . , .
With Detroit thi awi th
f220 pound Branca had a 3-3 rec
ord but was ineffective as a start
er, failing to go the route ia any
of his starts. He blamed that en
lack of work and insists that his
arm, injured in 1952, is as good as
new again.
Branca, son - in law of James
Mulvey, a member of the Dodgers'
board of ; directors, was. jubilant
over his signing with the" Yankees,
the team that defeated his Dodgers
fc; the World Series in 1947, '1949
and 19S2. . . . '
The most horses ever to run in
one race was 66 in the Grand Na
tional Steeplecba'se ,at Liverpool.
England, in 1929. ;
'Luigi Macera and Kurt von Pop
penheim, finalists in this week's
battle royal at the Armory, are to
collide in . Matchmaker Elton
Owen's main event next Tuesday
night, he announced Thursday.
" - "I always believe :in giving bat
tle royal finalists ; a go at it in
main events," Owen added. MTbis
one should be especially good since
Poppenheim's win over Macera
this week was quite disputable."
Macera was licked when , the
German nasty rammed Loigi's cog
gin against one of the iron ring
posts, ' while outside the ring, set
ting him up for a climaxing cross
bow fccld. i ; .
.The balance of the-Tuesday card
wSl be announced by Owen later.
Be' may make up a double main
event, , since Eric (The One and

Musial of the St Louis Cardinals
was today voted "baseball's great
est player in a poll of major
league managers.'
The balloting, conducted by
sportswriter Arch Murray for
Real ; Magazine, revealed Musial
to be the overwhelming choice of
National League Managers. In
the American League, Ted Wil
liams led the balloting 'but Mus
ial - received the votes of. two
managers to give him a majority
of all the ballots cast Ted Wil
liams received two votes; Al Ros

ceived two votes." "
The only Vdissenting manager
in the National League was Bird
ie Tebbets, manager of the Cin
cinnati. RedLegs. Tebbets voted
for Ted Kluszewski, his own first
baseman who, according to the
article, "swings a mighty heavy
baf; -- .
" Ted Williams, generally consioV
ered the greatest hitter of: the
modern era, received the-votes
of his own manager at ( Boston,
Lou Boudreau, as well as those
of Jimmy Dykes of Baltimore,
and Fred Hutchinson of Detroit
Al Rosen drew the vote of his
manager, Al Lopez, and he also
got the ballot of Casey Stengel,
New York Yankees Manager.
The two American League pilots
who swung the tide to Musial
were Eddie Joost of the Philadel
phia 'Athletics, and Bucky Har
ris of Washington.
Two of the managers did not
vote. I Walt Alston, Brooklyn
Dodger manager, declined to cast
a ballot since he was making his
first tour v of the majors. P4ul
