THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON Fish Tales By DICK STRITE Albany Eliminates Hills Creek From Semi-Pro Tourney, 84 Il'i gettlnc mlrhty clone to the lack season In trout fluhinr, hut food catches continue to be re ported from Lane county's malar streams the McKcnzic and Wil lamette and tributaries. August has always been con sidered the "Blue Monday'' month for angling and should be even more so this year because of the fine condition of the water dur ing the earlier part of the sca um Continued cool weather, however, may keep fishinn good far into the month. After a short lapse, and the coming of the first fall lains and the salmon trout in the coastal waters angling takes on new life until the close of the season. April or August, Dr. Izry Jchthysic still thinks he can tell anglers when, if not how, lo catch the wiley trout. His weekly time table appearing in this col umn has become a Bible to the more successful fiihermm. He henby presents this week's prognostications: any Red OXonnell Goes To Detroit Par fiftod Fair Saturday 3:41. 7:lflam 12:0lJ:3lpjn S:4- 7:!nm Sunday fl:3.

But n-uiii Monday until Frid:iy the best fishipc gradually advances to ward the noon hour. Don Meyer, our special Blue River operative, writes that fish ing has hern very good n the upper MrKenile, good in the South Fork, but still no big fish, and only fair In Blue River. Don made a nice catch recently with Everet Ream as boatman. He also tells of Willis Mines, retired candymaker who lives at Blue River, catching a three-pounder Meyer and Earl Byrom and Tad Luckey have been having fun catching Jack-salmon on files- just about as fast as they can present the fly to Mr. fish. He reports that trout flies are doing the business. But we understand that for big fish, the thing to use Is a Royal Coachman In the cool of the eve ning. We tried one of BUI Mar tin's homemade bucktalls the other evening and had splendid luck. The things are about as big as a house but do Ihe business. Just to prove that haaa fishing Is good In the coaat lakes, II. II Whitney, local angler, had a 6V4 pound bass on display in Light ning's window Thursday. The fish, caught In Silicons lake, was landed on a SH-ounce fly rod. The coast lakes are also produc ing fair catches of trout Tah kenllch, Munirl and Meivef. Tho Cascade hikes have been so-io. No favorable reports have been received from Clear Lake. Diamond Lake Is still good, de spite Herb Cox's unfavorable re port. Davis Lake has been an In-and-ouler. Dr. Lester Edhlom says that at laal he found a day when the fish were really working.

(Sne usual efficient fashion, and 15 H i II Crcck in the state semi-pro base ball tournament, but the Hillbillies copped third-place money for o second consecutive year and that's not to be sneezed at. Glenn Elliott, Albany's sensa tional young man with the spec tacles, halted the Hills Creek vic tory march In a rather decisive manner here Thursday night. The score was 8 to 2 for the Alco-Oaks, who now go into the finals against Silverton. The modest Mr. Elliott had his sinker" curve working in Its usual eficient fashion, and 15 Hill billies took the youngster's now famous strikeout prescription, He allowed six sits, all singles and three of them scratches, and is sued only two The Hillbillies, the tussle with fou earned triumphs to their credit.

After signing. Red went nut and booted a couple of chances and went hilless. but who could blame him? At that, he took care of a pair of putouta and four assists. Dick Cientzknw'i single, a sac rifice by Bill Moye and O'Connell's two errors, both in succession nfler two were out, gave Albany a run ning one-run start In the second Grant tripled to open the third and scored as Homer Parks dropped Oravec's fly after a long run. That made It 2-0 for Albany, but Hills Creek was very much back In the ball game after the fourth, when with one out, Johnny Dunn collected the first hit off Elliott, a blooper single Into left field. Johnny then pilfered second. O'Connell whiffed for the second out, but Harry Clnnlnger hit to second base and young Gentzkow fumbled the easy roller, allowing Dunn to score. Hills Hopes lllaslrd The Oaks shot holes In Hillbilly hopes In the fifth. Hill Vmnev made another of his "believe-lt-or-nnt" catches lo open the frame, on a long tly from the hat of Shouts which hit a high wire In left field and was deflected off at a craiy angle.

And those so-called experts who had quoted Challenger Marshall Carter as a 3-1 favorite earlier in the week were suffering severe head pains today. It was no easy touch for the champion, but Carter took the op ening falls and threatened time and again to break through with the expected victory and gain the coveted coast belt. Dopey Dean made an impres sive showing in the semi-final, taking two straight falls from Don Hill. Otis Clingman defeated Babe Small (inski) in a blistering op ener. Referee Elton Owen, who did a superb job as referee, took a ter rific lacing in both supporting bouts. Small and Dean had little respect for the official, target for their anger and fists. The title match was a master piece in dynamic scientific grapp ling and cleared the fans who had their fill of rough-and-tumble tac tics in the preceding bouts.
