Eddie Mayo's two home runs gave Benton all the margin he needed to fashion a seven-hit game. H has not yielded more than two runs in any of the games he has pitched. Red Ruffing, the lion-hearted red-head of the great pre-war Yankees, won his second straight double header at home, moved into sole possession of second place with a couple of 2 to 1 victories over the Ath letics. Pat Seerey, whose specialty is "grand slam" homers, delivered one to highlight an eight-run third inning for the Indians, who beat the White Sox, 13 to 7, at Cleveland. Chicago's Cubs went five and a half games ahead In the rational with a "reverse" 1 to 0 victory over the Pirates to counter their defeat by the same score on the day before. Big Paul Derringer, pitching his best game of the season, gave up only three hits, two to Frank Colman. There were no other National League games scheduled. JOYCE VS.

Good angling is reported at the lake with many crappies and large catfish being taken. Bass are not strik ing as fast as expected but those who know the lake are getting their share of fish. There are still a few sal mon being taken in Rogue river. Best results are being obtained on spinners in the upper river, between Dodge Bridge and McCloud. ..A few steelhead were caught on eggs the past week. Trout are plentiful all along the river and are being taken on all lures. Small streams are about the same as last week with fishing good to fair in all creeks and streams. Eggs and grasshoppers have been getting best results with spmners proving satisfac tory in riffles and fast runs. Four Mile lake has shown a decided improvement. Re ports coming in say angling is excellent but road conditions are poor. Bait gets best results. Season at Fish Lake closes August 15 and is now quite low with fishing only fair. Flies during the last hour Of the day get some catches but fish are of small size. Reports from Diamond Lake the past week say angling is poor but should improve from now until end of the season, as weather gets cooler. Trolling deep with 18 inch lead and plug is best. A long lead so that the plug gets plenty of action is recommended.
