Increased pressure on fishing
waters brought about, to a large
extent by greater population,
better roads and rapid transpor
tation, has resulted in a num
ber of states trying a variety of
methods of providing fish in
fiiantities sufficient to care for
Bl least a portion of the demand.
Thirty-six experiments with fin
gcrlings in Michigan and other
slates showed that an average of
only 1.6 percent of the brook
trout planted survived to favor
a fisherman, an average of 2.02
percent of the rainbows reached
the angler's basket while the
average recovery for brown
trout was 3.4 percent. "From this
it can be deducted that the
stocking of fingerling trout does
not add significantly to the fish
erman's catch," commented Ebb
Warren of the Michigan depart
ment of conservation.
Disappointed over the results,
Michigan conducted 68 experi
ments on 11 different streams
Involving 40,000 trout, all tagged
or fin dinned and catch records
were ohlained from the creel
census. These trout were planted
at various times during the
fall, prc-scason spring and dur
ing open season. An average of
five percent recovery is the best!
that could be credited to these
experiments. What happened to
flic fall planted legal trout be
tween the time they were placed
in the streams and the following
open season is still a mystery to
flic fisheries experts. The record
for pre-season and open season
plantings was better although it
fell considerably below the ex
pectations of tlic anglers. Re
covery of brook and rainbow
averaged approximately 25 per
cent and that of brown trout
12 '.4. It was learned that any
noticeable effect of plantings on
the catch lasted only about two
weeks for brooks and rainbow
trout and about four weeks for
browns.
In discussing improvement of
the stream beds themselves.
Warren says: ('Results of one
experiment covering an eight
year period at Michigan's Hunt
Creek fisheries experiment sta
tion have just been reported.
Records were kept of fisher
men's catches for throe years
prior to, and five years follow
ing the placement of pool form
ing deflectors. No hatchery
tfout were planted in the
treams during this period and
yet the catch during the five
year period following placement
of the deflectors improved 35
percent fisherman hours and the
pounds of fisli taken per fisher
man hour increased 46 percent
in spile of a 64 percent increase
in fishing pressure. Control of
erosion and silting by deflectors
nnd bank plantings may prove
valuable in building up the pro
ductivity of the streams. Plant
ings to increase the food supply,
fertilization, establishment of
gravel beds, log jams and rock
hideouts will all come in for
their share of scrutiny by (he
fish specialists in their search
for ways to increase the, size of
the catch in the fishermen's
creel."
Bruce Williams, former Salem
resident and a keen observer of
matters athletic, comments con
ccrning a number of northwest
baseballers who are now with
the majors, in a recent commu
nication to Howard Maple. Man
ager Southworlh of the Boston
Braves likes Glenn Elliott
well as a pitching prospect that
he plans to use the former State
league and OSC pitching ace
regularly. His principal fault
seems to be (he dishing up of a
home run pitch now and then.
The New York papers seem lo
think that Don Johnson, ex-Portland
rookie, is the finest pitch
ing prospect to hit Broadway in
years. And for some unexplain-

Salem boys wil get their

when the Veterans of Foreign

card. As a result of the decision
to show what they can do
against first class opposition,
Dick Abney, Dean Abney, Hal
Fries and Keller Wagner will be
featured. "I'll do my best to
match them evely," promises
Tex Salkcld, matchmaker for
the veterans.
The top 10 rrund event will
pit Dick Abney against Ray Gar
cia. Dean Abney, one of the
amateurs who went to Boston
to take part in the national
championships, will make his
first pro appearance on the card.
Salkcld says Dick Abney was a
"sick boy" the last time he box
ed Garcia, when the pair went
six rounds' to a draw. However,
Garcia claims he was robbed out
of the decision and before he
would consider a rematch re
ceived the assurance that the
winner of the 10 rounder would
take the entire purse.
Four four-rounders will com
plete the program with Salkcld
signing opponents for Wagner.

as they can be lined up.

Aren't Singing Blues
By Oscar Fraley
New York, April 29 U.P The St. Louis Cardinals are in the
National cellar for the first time in nine long years yet the world
champions from the torch song city on the banks of the Mississippi
aren't singing the blues. That unfamiliar basement view leaves
the world champions mighty cold but Manager Eddie Dyer insists
that while his boys are downf
they're far from out and "defi
nitely will be in the race" for
the October jackpot.
'There's nothing wrong with
us that a few hits and a little
pitching won't cure," the skip
per insisted. "Our trouble sim
ply has been that our good hit
ters haven't been hitting and
our good pitchers haven't been
pitching well enough. They 11
both come along."
The Cardinals during the
first two weeks of this season,
haven't had even a faint re
semblance to the Mississippi
mudcats who won the pennant
in four of the last five years
and three times went on to the
world championship. Their
record is two wins against five
losses and it has brought a
grim look to the face of the

he said. "Of course I moan and
groan, but none of us on the
Cardinal ball club think it will
be a permanent thing. That's
why this current series with the
Giants is so important. If we
can sweep the series it prob
ably would snap us out of it
and start us on our way."
On the debit side of the ledg
er, batting king Stan Musial is
hitting an anemic .130 and the
club is hardly bruising the ball
with a sickly .200 average.
But on the heartening credit
side of the books, Whitey Ku

of tl;e major pre-season ques

currently he is out with a

which bone chips were removed,
