Billy Martin Sparks Cleveland Over Tigers With 3-Run Homer By MILTON RICHMAN United Prase Inltrnalional Billy Martin has collected five World Series checks al ready and now is working on hi sixth 'one with Cleveland just so he can wave it in front of Casey Stengel this fall. Impish Billy knows Stengel is a banker but it's doubtful he would ask Casey to cash it. The .two haven't exactly been buddy-buddy since the Yankees let Martin go in 1957. Any time Martin can "show" Stengel, his day is complete. Like he did Thurs day when he smashed a three run homer in leading the In dians to a 10-4 victory over the Tigers. So what if he only raised his average from .132 to-.171? The important thing is his blow capped a decisive five run rally and increased Cleve-' land's American league lead to three games over both the Yankees and White Sox. It also insured the fast-breaking Indians their ninth triumph in 10 games this season. Pitches Scoreless Ball Rookie Jim Perry, making hii major league debut, started for Cleveland but was knocked out in a three-run fifth. Dick Brodowski took over, held the Tigers scoreless the rest of the way-he hasn't been scored on in four ap pearances yet this season-and earned his second victory. Ray Narleski, .who" came to p& troit in a deal for Martin this past winter, suffered his fourth straight loss as the Ti gers dropped their ninth game in 10 starts. The Senators nipped the Yankees, 3-2, and the Orioles beat the Red Sox, 8-7, in the only other American league games scheduled. In the National league, Philadelphia beat Milwaukee, 4-3, to cut the Braves' lead to half a game; Cincinnati topped Pittsburgh, 5-2, and Chicago defeated St. Louis, 6-1. San Francisco and Los Angeles were- idle. Stag Winning Rallies ' - Bob Turley, a 21-game win ner last season, carried a 2-0 lead into the seventh inning when the Senators rallied for all their runs. Rookie Willie Tasby was Dick Brodowski, Finally Yields Cleveland - (UPD - Oh well, no one's perfect! Reliever Dick Brodowski of the Indians was until Thurs day when he gave up his first hits of the season in his fourth appearance -of the year. ; Brodowski yielded three hits in 4 13 inings but held Detroit scoreless, and was credited with Cleveland's 10-4 victory. So far this year Brodow ski has not allowed a single run. Nor did he give up any in five relief appearances with the Indians last season.

The Phillies won their game from the Braves with a three run rally in the ninth, pinch hitter Gene Freese homering with one on to tie the score and Granny Hamner follow ing with another homer for the clincher. Brooks Lawrence, who did not beat the Pirates all last season, checked them on five scattered hits for his first vic tory of the campaign.

Nunn (8) Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank There was quite a squawk from many of the fishermen down here when the game commission decided to try to do something for our declin ing salmon and steelhead runs and closed the Rogue river until May 30. Now the young downstream migrants have a chance to get to the ocean without having to run through such a gauntlet of hooks dis guised as something either tasty or interesting. But it leaves some fishermen with a feeling of having no place to fish. This particular column is an attempt to prove this to be just a silly notion. FISHING SPOTS GALORE It's surprising how many fishing spots turn up when you start looking for them. Starting with the closest fishing spot and progressing out to the farthest that could be considered for a one-day fishing trip, there are eight lakes and reser voirs and at least six streams open to trout fish ing this coming Saturday. This should be enough to provide plenty of indecision as to where to go. The lakes are Willow creek reservoir. Squaw lakes, Howard prai rie reservoir. Lake of the Woods, Big Bend reservoir, Klamath lake and Agency lake. The streams) are Up per Elk and Big Butte creeks, the upper , Rogue and its tributaries. Keen and Jenny creeks, and the Klamath river. LAKES FOR BIG FISH A six inch trout is the min imum size the law allows but there isn't any limit on the maximum size and some of the lakes have fish of a size to give palpitation of the breastbone to the calmest of anglers. Squaw lakes will have fish up to about 13 inches long and good fishing is possible from the shores for those without boats. Lake of the Woods should have rain bows up to 17 inches maxi mum. Willow creek reservoir rainbows will scale up to 22 inches with sufew native cut throat over the two foot mark. Howard prairie reservoir plants should be 8 to 10 inches long now. (I got a hot tip that the construction workers on the Talent project were catch ing natives last year and they were running up to two pounds. And now they're, a year older!) OVER THE DIVIDE Big Bend reservoir was created by the new dam on the Klamath river just be low the Green Springs road crossing. It is about tnree miles long and contains 3, 600 acre-feet of water. Around 10,000 legal size rainbows were planted a couple of weeks ago and . there are a number of fish being caught running up to 1553 30 EH CO and H. Smith. Drabowsky (1-1). El ston (9) and S.

DeVoss 22 inches long. Then occa sionally an 8 to 10 pounder comes along to scare the un prepared fisherman. Klam ath lake opens in the upper end around the Rocky point area and there is always a chance of hooking a really big one if 4 and 5 pounders seem sort of slow. Harri man's resort still has a few boats available. Agency lake is above Klamath lake and has browns as well as rain bows running up to about 5 pounds or better. CREEKS AND RIVERS For big fish the Klamath river, either in California or Oregon, is the best bet. There are a few summer steelhead in the Hornbrook area and the river has resident fish of good size in Oregon on up to the Keno area. Keen and Jen ny creeks are crossed by the Green Springs road and pro vide nice, tasty catches of trout, some of them over a foot long. The Rogue river will be open above Laurel hurst bridge and anglers ought to find a few fish over, 16 inches long in the forks or other upper tributaries. Big Butte creek always has some big fish available on opening day. They come from below the deadline at the Cobleigh bridge and from the hatchery at Butte Falls, though there are usually a few old moss backs who. survived the sea son last year. Elk creek used to have one of the best sea son run cut throat runs in the Rogue drainage and the lucky angler might find a few above the deadline at Burnt Peak road crossing. A WIDE CHOICE This is a brief rundown on the available fishing to be found this Saturday. I think there is a lot of water and variety of trout fishing from which to make a choice as to where to. If the main objective is to enjoy oneself and not to catch a limit every day, any choice is a good one. WHAT BAIT. WHICH LURE? For lake fishing I would like to recommend a small lure on a light line. Gang trolls, like the ford fender, will perhaps produce more fish but they are very unsat isfying unless the fish is quite large. Still fishing with eggs or worms can catch fish, but it is a well known fact that chumming is an illegal aid to many still fishermen. For the streams garden hackle or sin gle eggs ought to find many a willing taker. Roll it on the bottom and work it into the deeper eddies and pockets, this and a bit of luck will soon have the reel singing. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The people who live in, this valley and appreciate the gifts of nature, be it the primitive forest or the lure of seeking her fish and game, are surrounded by a treasure which money can not buy. The privileges we enjoy in the forest and on the streams and lakes are denied to many who live their lives in brick and con crete worlds. We are fortu nate but if we aren't wise in our use of these gifts, they can slowly but surely be taken from us. So while we enjoy these values to day, we should realize that we'll keep them only if we . are willinn to finfct n L-nnn 'them and so we will. GOOD LUCK!
