Page Twelve. THE REGISTER. GUARD, EUGENE. OREGON Fish Tales By DICK STRJTO Moundsmen Star as Big League Ball Clubs Swing into Actri Ruffing Bests Grove In Duel 1 Here we are rlo folks end it Isn't Jack Benny! Oregon'! trout season opened last Saturday at the crack of riau-n and when the sun shone on a perfect fishin' day. wlIh! Yankees Down Red SOX me water in uie dri mhc has been for years and lots of; buys fluttering here and abouis, i Jiaak Walton could have count ed more fishermen than sh taken. That is. if he didn't count the wormy Redsides taken out of the Leiburg dam lake. Herfc;e Hoover and the writer flicked out &es on the waters of the upper McKenzie, but you eouki prove nothing by our luck as to "new gona was iisning. The er-prexy cuht five in two days according to a report from a reliable source and you would n't have to go very far to prove that we (the writer, that is) bag ged exactly two for the opening week-end expedition. ' Now If we were the fine angler bf the Dr. George Guldager, Er nie Hayes and Ed Schaefers type there would have been "fishes" bf a different color. The Gul-dager-Hayes duo, with Prince Ilelfrich at the oars, pullea m nine inch Redsides out of the up per McKenzie last Saturday. Schaefers and his partner bagged k right smart catch of 27 (includ ing 16 better than 14 inches) on the lower river the same day. Nothing has been heard from the Willamette, but we understand (some of the better anglers caught Jish and some of the best fisher men were "skunked." 1 They say Lake Creek and the iSiuslaw were so crowded that one or two of the boys were wearing shiners this week from getting poked in the eye by fel low anglers' elbows on backcasts. Some of the fellows say there two streams are fished out, but we'll wager an angler can bag )he limit on flies or spinner and Worms any week day. We're usually very optimistic In our fishing, but after spending last week-end throwing our wrist into a twist we figured it would be best to consult a fishin' ex pert before trying again. ' So we heard rumor of a cer )ain Dr. Izzy Iehthyslc and hunt ed him down. His real profession is the study of fish life, but we persuaded him to take up the study of fishing prognosticating. He went deep into the dark cor ners of his lab and come out with charts of the lunar system, fime tables and a heap of printed material. We left him with the assurance that he would prepare for us weekly charts for Lane county anglers not on the kind of lure to use or where to fish but when to fish. His first report arrived In the office this morning with a com plete chart giving the good and fair periods during each day for the next seven days the per iods when the fish will be look ing for food and can be caught fith the least effort. We hereby present his first brainstorm: 2-0 In Initial Test -Davt C. a n 4 pair aturday a:U.4:Sp.m. :J8-I0:M a.m. Sunday S:.JI.m. 10:11.11:41 i.m. UMMpu.

The relentless rainmaker cut Thursday's card to five games, but three of these were 2-0 shutouts, another was a 14-inning 8-7 grind and the fifth was a 5-3 affair. In the games so far only two have finished with a margin of more than two runs separating the op posing clubs. Frtte Gives 3 Hlla The prize performance was a three-hit stint by Louis William Fette, a durable 32-year-old right hander who bears much of the Boston Bees' hopes on his chunky frame. Fette held Philadelphia's imponent Phillies to three singles to acquire one of the season's first shutouts, 2-0. To get it he had to outpitch 38-year-oid Syl Johnson and Jennings Poindexter, who shared a six-hit swat at the Bees. Bob "Lefty" Grove of the Boston Red Sox held the New York Yankees to seven hits to emphasize that, at 39, and starting his 15th term under the big top, he still rates the bei?.' But like a lot of other good pitching jobs wrecked by the Yankee powerhouse, Grove's blew up in his face when Big Bill Dick ey got the world's champions first home run of the year and Jake Powell tripled home another score to stop the Sox. 2-0. Greenberg's Homer Wins Red Ruffing, who is 35 himself and a big league pitcher for just as long as Grove, matched his rival's seven-hit pitching blow for blow and strikeout for strike out (five) but everybody seems to take such efforts by Ruffing for granted. George Jasper Caster provided the A's with a four-hit game which sparkled as bright as old Connie Mack's eyes in the day's third shutout. Luke Hamlin gave the Brooklyn Dodgers a seven-hit pitching job as they beaned the New York Giants, 5-3, chiefly because of the wildness of Hal Schumacher. The pitching wasn't so prideful at Detroit, where the Tigers got 19 hits and the Chicago White Sox nine, but the battle was longer and harder than all the rest. A home run by Hank Greenberg In the 14th gave the Tigers their sec ond victory of the season, 8-7. Yates, Holt To Play In British Amateur NEW YORK, April 21. Wl Charley Yates of Atlanta and "Trailer Bill" Holt of Syracuse, N. Y., sailed on the Queen Mary today for England, where Yates will defend his British amatacur golf championship May 22-27 at Hoylake. Yates and Holt form the van guard of a six-man American invasion. Hi 5a 1 M ' tBT. - S 4 Jc r Uib- lwsiia-vi r -t w Oregon, Portland Cindermen in Dual Meet Saturday at 2 p. m. University of Portland track and field performers promise to provide Colonel Bill Hayward's Oregon cinder forces with plenty of top-flight competition in their dual meet Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock on Hay ward field. George Philbrook, former Notre Dame star who coaches the Pilot thinclads, has a strong aggrega tion this spring. The Portlanders easily dominated a four-way meet last Saturday at Portland, defeating Linfield, Pacific and Oregon Normal. Best bets among the visiting Pilots for points Saturday are Joe Enzler, the fullbackmg shot putter who consistently betters 46 feet; Abts and Sweet, star sprinters', Pat Lydon, miler, and Larry Ly don. two-milers. Buck Still Out While Oregon will be favored win the opening dual meet of the season, close races are ex pected in several events. Both of the Lydon brothers are due to give Webfoot distance men tough opposition and George Sweet is rated on a par with Bob Dicz, who will be Oregon's No. 1 sprinter in the. absence of Jim Buck. Hayward's two newest sensa tions, Boyd Brown and Rod Han son, will make their 1939 debuts Saturday and probably will be the centers of attraction. Brown, a junior from Hubbard, last week tossed the javelin 229 feet 9 inches, the longest throw ever recorded In the northwest. He has consistently bettering 200 feet all spring and may get off another record heave Saturday. Six-Foot-Flux Jumper Hansen, who recently pole vaulted 13-fcet-6 at Seattle, is not only due for a private vault ing feud with Captain George Varoff but also may demonstrate his newly found high jumping prowess. He leaped six feet one inch last week at Corvallis in his first try at the event. Starting time for Saturday's meet has been moved up to 2 o'clock so as not to interfere with the Oregon-Oregon State baseball clash, also billed for the same afternoon. Casey Bowlers Win White League Title The Knights of Columbus bowl ing team, 2-1 victors over Wash burne Frigidaires at Eugene Rec reation Thursday night, captured first place in the final White league standings. New Service Laundry garnered second by virtue of a 3-0 victory over Westinghouse in the final matches. Eugene Neon Sign Co., 2-1 winners over Cy Slocum, won third. Walt Garrett of the Frigidaires and O. Nagle of the Signers took top individual honors for the sea son, Garrett with a 247 single game and Nagle with a 634 series.

Oregon, OSC Nines Meet Here Saturday Coach Howard Hobson return ed to the University campus Wednesday, following another of the many speaking tours which have followed Oregon's national basketball championship, and after introducing himself to the players proceeded to confirm rumors that Bob Hardy would hurl the opening conference games against Oregon State here Saturday. In the meantime plans for Sat urday's opener here on Howe field were revealed by Les Har ger, chairman of the student com mittee in charge. The first home game will be preceded by a street parade through the business dis trict and by the traditional cere monies at the field. Moguls to Perform President Donald M. Erb, Mayor Elisha Large and Maxine Glad, junior week-end queen, will take part in the ritual at the field, it was stated. The game Is billed to get under way promptly at 3 o'clock. Final workouts for the 16-game conference season were held Thursday afternoon with a brief round of hitting and fielding. All hands were reported in good shape, with the sole exception of Dwight Moore, new catching prospect who is out for the sea son with a broken finger. Oregon has not lost a baseball series to Oregon State since 1931 and this year's Webfoot nine is UHS Club Trips Springfield 5-2 Tex Gatlin Hurls 3-Hit Ball For Campus Team Bv DEWEY RAY SPRINGFIELD, April 21 (Spe cial) University high's Golden Tide upset the dope bucket in dis trict seven Rlay by coming through with a 5 to 2 victory over the Springfield Millers in a baseball game played at Springfield Thurs day. It was Uni high's initial win c the season. The three-hit pitching of Tex Gatlin combined with five Spring field errors put the game on ice for the Tiders. The Millers took an early two-run lead in the last half of the first, but were blanked for the remaining six innings. The campus nine tied up the score at two-all in the first of the second and the count remained knotted until the last inning when the Tiders pushed across three counters to win their first confer ence tussle. The Millers booted the game away with five costly errors. Uni high was charged with four bob bles, but they were not as costly as those committed by the Millers. Wilson, Miller chucker, limited the Tiders to six hits, but was the victim of poor support. Gptlin was credited with whiffing five Millers while Wilson was striking (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) conceded as good a chance as any to continue the long string. Last season the Webfoots won three of four games from the Orangemen, who tied with W.S.C. for the conference pennant.

(By The Associated Press) Beaten only twice in 20 games, the Los Angeles Angels could tie the 36-year-old Pacific coast league record of 19 consecutive baseball victories by defeating San Diego Friday night. The amazing Angels, pennant winners last year, increased their league lead to seven games on their home lot Thursday as they nipped San Diego, '9 to 5, for straight victory number 18. In night games-, Hollywood again blanked Seattle, this time 6 to 0, Sacramento walloped San Fran cisco 17 to 2, and Portland moved up in the standings from seventh to fifth place at the expense of Oakland, 9 to 3. Wayne Osborne gave up only five hits as his mates connected when it counted for Hollywood's victory at Seattle. After five scoreless innings, Spencer Harris slammed a home run over the right field fence. Sacramento's surprising Senators roasted four Seals pitchers for 15 hits as they handed the home club their worst defeat of the season. Four Portland runners crossed the plate in the first inning at Portland after Oakland's Jack Sal veson had retired the first two bat ters in order. The home club added three in the third and one (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) This note was attached to the chart: "You may think this is so much hooey, but I assure you hat the angler who follow this chart will find that 80 percent of the time it will prove Its worth."
