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

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:

Bv JUDSON BAILEY
(Asjociated Press)
This major league baseball sea
son is scarcely half a week old and
already has given more tight fits
than a shoe store.
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.

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

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

(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
