Al Benton Pitches Fifth
Shutout Game Of Season
New York, Aug. 3 (U.R) Al
Benton, the Detroit Tiger right
hander, who may set a new
Major League earned run mark,
gained his 10th victory and his
fifth shutout, 6 to 0, over the
St. Louis Browns at Detroit yes
terday. 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.

Hiatt Lake is about the only
spot hereabouts where fisher
men can expect any amount of
luck over the coming week-end,
according to information collect
ed by Al Piche and relayed on
to this department. 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.

IN CANADA ME
Toronto. Aug. 3 (U.R) Byron
Nelson had luck alone to thank
today for being in his accustom
ed spot as low pro after the
opening round of the $10,000
Canadian open.
He shared the lead with Vic
Ghezzi, veteran Deal, N. J., pro
who has been out of military
service only about three weeks.
Both had two under par 68's,
but Nelson required two miracle
shots to get his. On the 445
yard fourth hole his drive arch
ed toward a creek, but instead
of hitting the water, it struck a
narrow foot-bridge and bounded
75 yards further toward the
green. Actually he got greater
distance than if the ball had
landed on the fairway. His sec
ond shot for the "book" was on
the 575-yard 14th hole when he
hit a tremendous approach that
landed on the green and he hol
ed his putt for an eagle three.

Will Be Lower Coming Fiscal Year
Washington, Aug. 3 (U.R)
Both government Income and
spending will be lower during
the current fiscal year than last
revenue by $7,500,000,000 and
spending by about $15,000,000,
000 the Budget Bureau forecast
today in issuing revised budget
estimates for 1946.
Budget Director Harold D.
Smith said spending during fis
cal 1946 was now expected to be
$84,900,000,000. That Is slightly
higher than his original January
estimate of $83 100,000.000 but
far under the 1945 figure of
$100,000,000,000.
The revised budget placed fed
eral income for the current year
at $39,000,000,000. That com
pares with a $41,200,000,000 es
timate in January and an all
time high of $46,500,000,000 in

war would continue at least
through June 30, 1946, the end
of the current liscal year. Smith
declined to say whether another
budget had been prepared for

denly. The expected revenua de
crease will not result from lower
tax rates. Instead, it reflects new
