Berkeley, Calif. (U.R) No
body runs against time these
days just fast enough to win!
That's true if you can believe
the coaches, and who are we to
doubt the word of these noble
'lrmen
ave Sime .doesn't . run
agains time," says his assistant
coach. Red Lewis of Duke Uni
versity. "He's a great competitor.
He runs just fast enough to
win.'' '
Brutus Hamilton, who coaches
Leamon King at University of
California, ha about the same to
say about his boy.
, "King is a natural competitor.
He runs just fast enough to win
no faster. There's no telling
how fast he can run if he is
pushed." ,
Add A Few
When you add Bobby Morrow
of Abilene Christian and Mike
Agostini of Fresno State to this
bunch, it makes for an explosive
situation in the NCAA track and
field championships here this
week-end.
All . four men have equalled
the world mark of 9.3 for the
100-yard dash and look good
enough to better the world mark
of 10.2 in the 100-meter event
which will be featured in this
Olympic year.
Sime and King never have lost
a race in their intercollegiate ca
reers. Morrow has lost only two
to Sime and Bobby Whilden of
Texas, who has a 9.4 to his
credit.
Lewis sees practically no limit
to the potentialities of his boy
Sime.
"Shucks," says Lewis, "if he is
pushed there's no telling what
he might do. Maybe 9.1 in the
100; and maybe even a 19.8 or
19.7 In the 220.
Not Talking
"Dave likes to train and he
likes to eat. I have to watch both
to keep him in good condition.
But there's one thing he doesn't
want to talk about and that is
running against time.
"All he wants to do is run fast
enough to win. But if he is
pushed, and if he gets off to a
good start, thrn it's hard to tell
just what might happen."
Hamilton has said just about
the same things about King. So,
to paraphrase the currently pop
ular song, "Something's gotta
give"' this week-end in Berkeley.
Is Thaf So?
So you think the bait, flies
and plugs the modern anglers
uses make up a weird assort
ment. Brother, it isn't a patching
on what the angler of old used
among the indispensables
were sheep's blood, man's fat,
and "oyl of earthworms."
But let me give you a sampl
ing of some pieces which I col
lected for my book. "An Angler's
Anthology" (Stackpole, Harris
burg). "To speak then generally of
Baites, they are divided into
three kinds, which are,1 live
g.f3-56
baites, Dead-baitesc Baites liv
ing but in appearance only,"
writes Gervase Markham, who
lived from 1568-1637.
"Your live baits are wormes
of all kindes, especiall the Red
worm,' the Maggot, the Bobbe,
the Dor, Browne Flyes, Frogs,
grashoppers. Hornets,. Waspes,
Bees, Snailes, small Roaches,
Bleades, Goldgins, or Loches.
"Your dead Baites are pastes
of all makings, your brood of
Wasps dried or undried, the
clotted blood of Sheepe, Cheese.
Bramble-berries, Corne, Seedes,
Cherries, and such like.
"And your Baites which seem
to Live, yet are Dead, are Flyes
artifically made of all sorts and
shapes, made of silks and Feath
ers about your Hookes, which
well serve for every several
seasons through the yeare, and
being by your Line moved upon
the water, seems to be live Flies,
wljich the fish with great greedi
ness will catch up and devoure."
Now, not all anglers of those
days made up their own baits.
For example, William Gilbert,
coming a generation later, wrote:
"Go to Mother Gilbert's at the
Flowr-de-Luce and whilst you
are drinking of a Pot of Ale, beg
the Maid make you two or three
Penyworth of Ground Bait, and
some' Paste; and observing of
them (he added shrewdly) you
will know how to make it your
self for any other Place. . . "
More Specific
As foi a real fish-taking bait,
Robert Howlett, 1706, is more
specific. He gives a recipe which
the angler can eat saving the
Fat. But let him tell it:
"Take a fat goose or Duck,
pluck and draw it, then take
sage, marjoram, and French lav
ender, of each a like quantity,
and shred it small: of castor,
Gum - armoniack, calamus aro
maticus. Nutmeg, Mace, and
Cloves, of each a little, beat

the Spices well in a Mortoar,
then mix them with your shred
Herbs, and put them into the
Belly of the Goose or Duck; sew
up the belly close, rost him on a
Spit, and save the dripping fat
for your use, and eat the Goose
or Duck for your pains.
"When you have occasion, take
a quantity of the Fat that dript
from him, and mix it well with
oyl of a dead man's scull, and
oyl of Earthworms and use the
ointment for the arming of your
hook: then fix six or eight inches
of your Line next" above the
hook, and then dip your bait in
it after it's on the hook, and
fish."
The earliest recipe for a bait in
tha English language by a wo
man, too Madame Dame Bern
ers.'aathor of The Boke of St.
Albans, 1496 is written thus:
"For Baytes for grete fysshe,
kepe especyally this rule: whan
ye haue take a grete fysshe:
vndo the mawe: & what ye fynde
therein, make that your bayte:
for it is beste."
Finally, here's one which uses
"man's fat" and for this in
gredient the reader is directed to
go to any surgeon. The writer,
Grevelle Fennel, says:
"Monsieur C h a r r a s. Apoth
ecary royal to the late French
King, Lewis the Fourteenth,
says: 'Take of man's fat and cat's
fat, of each half an ounce; mum
my, finely powdered, three
drams; cumminseed, finely pow
dered one dram; distilled oil of
aniseed and spite, of each six
drops; civet, two grains: and
camphire, four grains; make an
ointment according to art.' "
I ask you, how could a self
respecting fish resist it?

Tri-City Wins
By RAY ANDREWS 1
United Press Sports Writer
It took 5 hours and 10 minutes
of baseball and a 10-minute rhu
barb to do it, but the Tri-City
Braves today hold a tenuous grip
on second spot in the Northwest
League pennant chase.
The Braves edged Spokane
13-12 in the first game of a twin
bill last night and then am
bushed the Indians 17-0 in the
second game.
An added attraction was a fist
flailing battle which broke out
in the fourth inning of the
opener and ' saw members of
both teams get in a few licks
before order was restored.
Yakima, the' league leaders,
had a serene and peaceful eve
ning blanking Lewiston 5-0 be
hind two-hit hurling by Charlie
Drummond. It was Drummond's
sixth victory of the season.
Vince Njreci hit solo homer
for the Bears in the first and
Herm Reich did likewise in the
seventh while Herm Lewis con
tributed a two-run homer in the
third.
Wenatchee checked in with a
9-4 verdict over Eugene although
each team chalked up nine hits.
Glen Isringhaus, Wenatchee
hurler, outlasted a pair of Eu
gene chuckers for the decision.
Dick Watson with three hits
in five trips and two runs batted
in was the leading Wenatchee
hitter. Bill Gridley of Eugene
homered in the seventh with the
bases empty.

home Tuesday night. Holmgren
said he had no choice. Defend

judge figured he had to keep
the jurors locked up to Insure
a fair verdict.

Coast Umpire, Dies
Los Angeles (U.R) Casey
Barries, 78, veteran Pacific coast
league umpire, died Tuesday of
a heart attack.
Barnes, better known on the
diamond as Pearl Casey, served
as a Coast League umpire for
25 years. He started his baseball
career in 1902 with Sacramento
but injuries forced him to give
up playing and he managed the
Tacoma Colts before becoming
an umpire.
