if This column has never advocated advice on probable
fishing or hunting conditions, but rather a report on what
the fortunes have been of various anglers and nimnods. ... In
the first place, by the time reports come to this office and reach
the readers, conditions can change rapidly. . . . That's why we
believe Orville O. Bishop, a local angler, has a legitimate com
plaint. His letter follows
"Just read your Fish Tales in tonight's Register-Guard, and
the report on how good fishing was on the Umpqua river.
"I fished all day with two companions and failed to even get
a decent strike. Never saw a fish caught by other fishermen either.
"Also I resent your advice on Scotts Hole being the best
bank fishing
"I can't personally say this year that they are charging 50
cents per head for fishing at Scotts hole, but in the past I have been
stuck for that fee at above mentioned fishing spot.
"I don't mind paying for the pleasure of fishing, but I resent
being charged for such pleasure
Unless one has a boat and
fishing has begun to be a rich man's privilege.
"Please don't take some of those so-called good fishing re
ports from those who cash in on it, but from some who are on
the other end.
"Sometimes I wonder which end is the 'sucker' on, anyway."
if We're inclined to believe that most ot the reports we've
had are honest, and our biggest troubles come from lack of
reports. . , . There is considerable luck in fishing, and maybe
Mr. Bishop and his pals experienced "one of those days." , , .
There WERE steelhead caught on the day in question and on
the Umpqua.
Speaking of luck in fishing, look at the case of Norm Hamp
ton, mentioned in last week's column. . . . Hampton had never
previously caught a steelhead, so
Norm the necessary equipment
for casting for bass, a first-rate reel, but a two-year-old line. . . ,
On the cast that eventually caught the 16-pound 1-ounce fish
Hampton's tremendous heave barely got out of the boat, because
of a terrific backlash. ... He was unable to untangle the "bird's
nest" before the .fish struck and amazingly 'untangled the back
lash on his first run. . . . Norm spent something like an hour
and a half landing the fish and then it was time to head for
home with second place in the Camp Indola derby
fishing was good all weekend on the Siuslaw, and last Sat
urday Jack Kerr and his two sons, Jerry and John, brought home
limits up to 11 pounds. . . . The anglers had no less than
15 fish on during the trip. Rain washed out the angling Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Kenny King had Hal Chapman and Ralph Kruse Sunday, Gene
Pitchford and Bob Cross Monday (limits by 11 a.m.) and Willis
Shepard had a limit Thursday which was real hot.

Raloh Kiner Paces
NEW YORK, Dec. 21 OP)
Ralph Kiner of Pittsburgh ana
Stan Musial of St. Louis again
were the big dynamiters as the
National League set a major
league record and tied six others.
Kiner and Musial linished one
two in slugging percentage, the
Pirate star pounding out a gaudy
.627 mark. Muisla slugged out a
.614 figure to boost his lifetime
percentage to .584. This bettered
the league record of .578 set by
Johnny Mize.
Slugging averages are Deter
mined by taking the total bases
and dividing by the times at bat.
NEW MARKS
Kiner's feat of leading his league
in home runs six seasons from his
first year on set a new big league
mark. His 40 or more homers for
five consecutive seasons set a new
National League mark. Musial tied
big league record by leading
his league in three-baggers for
five years, and set a circuit mark
by scoring 100 or more runs eight
years.
. Others who set or tied marks
included Gil Hodges and Jackie
Robinson of Brooklyn (fielding),
Willard Marshall of the Boston
Braves (fielding), Andy Seminick,
Philadelphia Phillies (batting)

one in their game with the
Rangers at New York next
