Twins Spoil Angels' Home
Debut; Earl Battev Homers
By MILTON RICHMAN ,
t United Press International i
Minnesota's transplanted!
Twins have played only a
handful of games so far, butj
have you noticed no one isj
calling them Cookie's Crumj
Buns any more, j
Even old Ty Cobb is im
. pressed by them:
Cobb tossed but the first
ball in Los Angeles Thursday
and then sat back and watch
ed Cookie Lavagetto's surpris
ing Twins ruin the Angels'
' home debut with a 4-2 victory
that catapulted them into first
place in the American league.
The crowd of 11,931 was
considerably below expecta
tions but the Twins, whom
Cobb last saw as the old
' Washington Senators, certain
ly weren't. They spotted the
Angeles a two-run lead in the
second inning and then took
over to register their ninth
victory in 12 starts.. .
' Earl Battey, a native of
Los Angeles who played his
early baseball there, was the
local boy who came home to
haunt the Angels. His three
run homer off Eli Grba in the
sixth inning clinched the out
come and sent the new AL
' entry down to its eighth loss
in nine games.
Wins Second Straight ,
Camilo Pascual won his sec
ond straight game although
Bay Moore relieved him when
Los Angeles threatened in the
eighth. Earl Averill's two-run
homer in the second repre
sented all the Angels' runs.
In other AL games, the
New York Yankees defeated
the Cleveland Indians, 4-3;
Boston beat Detroit, 5-2; Chi
cago clipped Kansas City, 9-1,
and Baltimore blanked Wash
ington, 5-0. 1
The Chicago Cubs downed
the Cincinnati Reds, S-2, in
the only National league game
scheduled.
Mickey Mantle won the
game for the Yankees with a
tremendous triple in the
seventh inning and then saved
the game for winner Art Dit
mar with an even more tre
" meridous catch in the ninth,
With two out, Tony Kubek
von second and the score tied
at 3-all in the seventh Mantle
'laid into an outside fast ball
"served up by Johnny Antonel
,i and rapped it 407 feet
against the right center field
' bleacher wall. .
Then in the ninth, with two
-'out and a Cleveland runner
on first, made a brilliant one-
handed, knee sliding catch of
Bubba Phillips' liner that
looked like a sure triple.
The victory boosted the
Yanks to within a game of the
second-place Tigers, who ran
afoul of the Red Sox,
Reliever Stars
Vic Wertz and Russ Nixon
each hit two-run homers off
Detroit loser Jim Bunning,
but the real Boston hero was
reliever Dave Hillman. He
took over for starter Ike De
lock in the third inning and
held the Tigers scoreless on
three hits the rest of the way
to post his first victory of the
campaign.
Early Wynn pitched a five
hitter for the White Sox
against the A's for the 288th
triumph of his major league
career. The 41 - year - old
Wynn's job was made easy by
M!sf.ie Minoso, who drove in
five runs, and Nellie Fox,
who collected four of Chi
cago's 14 hits, ,
Lanky Dick Hall, recently
acquired from the A's, scored
his first victory for the Ori
oles with a two-hit effort over
the Senators, The only, hits
Hall allowed were a fourth
inning single by Danny O'Con
nell and a ninth inning single
Dy joe Hicks. -,
-The Cubs had to call on
their relief ace, Don Elston, to
save Don Card well's victory
over tne Reds. Elston, owner
of a 4-0 record, took over for
Cardwell with the bases full
in the eighth, and although
he allowed one run he got the
next two batters and then' put
down another threat in the
ninth,
Cardwell helped himself
with a two-run homer off los
er Ken Hunt in the second
inning, and another homer by
Frank Thomas in the sixth
proved to be the winning run.

Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank DeVots
One can imagine that there
were more fish than anglers
pleased with the opening
week end of the 1981 trout
season. The rain and snow did
more than dampen spirits
when it stopped traffic to the
several favorite fishing holes.
One consolation might be that
good fishing will last longer
because there are more good
fish still swimming around.
There probably are a number
of those good fish telling their
youngsters what a soft life
they're having and how lucky
they are to be swimming
around in the water instead of
in a frying pan.

oDOPE RING POSSIBLE

were investigating reports of
the possible existence of a

today following the disclosure
"of another stimulation case

ver 5-3 and Hawaii outlasted
Spokane 10-9 in the only other
games played.
Salt Lake got the jump on
the Rainiers when Steve Ja
nowski hit his first homer of
the season with the bases
empty in the second inning.
Umphlett wiped that out
with his two-run shot in the
fourth and the Rainiers added
single runs in the fifth and
sixth and another pair in the
ninth. '
Meal Ticket
Erv Paiica, figured to be
the meal ticket of the Rainier
staff, went 7 1-3 innings and
allowed the Bees four hits.
Arnold Earley finished it out
for Seattle.
Vancouver outhit San Diego
but got all its runs on a solo
homer by Ed Charles and a
two-run smash by Frank
Torre.
It wasn't enough as San
Diego came up with some
power of its own with Harry
Simpson's homer and a triple
by Stan Johnson. Al Brice,
with help from Ben Wade,
won his second game against
no losses. Carle Greene, Van
couver starter, was charged
with the loss to square his
slate at 1-1.
Hawaii had to come up with
runs in the eighth to nip Spo
kane. The Islanders trailed
9-7 going into the frame but
catcher Jack 'Parks quickly
closed that gap as he parked
one over the fence with no
one on.
Jay Ward then singled and
Jim Small dropped a double
in front of Spokane left field
er Mike Goliat. Ray Jablon
ski lined a single 'Jp left to
send both runners home.
Vic Davis, third of four
Islander pitchers, picked up
his first victory against no

ON GUARD
The two public agencies
most concerned wilh protect
ing our lights are the U.S.
bureau of land management
and the U.S. forest service.
The forest service, due to the
fact that its boundaries are
more sharply defined, has lit
tle difficulty with outright
trespass. Its problems have to
do with old mining1 claims
that have changed ownership
and are now summer homes
for persons who wouldn't
know a sluice box from an
orange crate. Their rights are
not clearcut, but this problem
should be resolved sooner
rather than later. The BLM
and forest service are to be
encouraged to stop trespass on
public lands and along our
streams whether it is through
willful ignorance or not.
ANNOUNCEMENT
The Oregon fish commis
sion and the Washington state
department of fisheries have
announced that the Columbia
river commercial spring 'Chi
nook season opened at noon
Thursday, April 27. The April
27 opening, three days earlier
than usual, was recommended
because the Chinook run is en
tering the river earlier this
year and moving upstream
faster than in previous years.
Chinook counts at Bonneville
dam are the highest since
1953.- -
Tagging studies last year
showed that Willamette fish
passed the lower river tagging

Thursday for the Angels' loss

sites In late March- and early
April. This year all indications
are that migration rates is
March and April were even
higher than last year,
CONFLICT
ine aocva statements re
leased by ihs fish commission
ar presented io illustrate the
annual problem on any river-
who gets how many of the
migratory rans? The early
opening has been fought tooth
and toenail by the sportsfish-
ing interests of the Willa
mette They ere having one of
their poorest seasons so far
and are afraid the commercial
fishermen are going to deci
mate an already small run.
Who is right? Or would it be
a better -question to ask who
has the most right? On the
Rogue the problem is between
those who fish the lower river
and those who fish the middle
river. Or between those- who
fish ' the middle river " and
those who fish, the upper riv
er. It could be that the prob
lem Is that we have unin
formed fishermen arguing de
sires instead of facts, and
all should have to admit that
desires are a poor basis for a
decision. Let's get the best
facts and use them until more
and better ones come along
THS ANGLER'S LOG
The salmon started flooding in
at Gold Beaeh on Tuesday, The
canneries were busy despite the
few fishermen out. The water tem
perature at Savage Rapids was 43
degrees on Saturday and salmon
weren't moving, Tuesday saw the
temperature at 0 degres and three
salmon were caught at Galice,
Biggest fish story so far is one of
the 46 pound ehinook caught be
low Gal tee 2 weeks ago.
Ffsh Lake Had a good opening
week end and fishing has stayed
that way since, A creel count re
vealed 4.73 flsh per angler and 1,2
fish per hour. Fish are averaging
12 inches and FF&W as well as
FF&3t are doing most of it, Butte
Falls road Is In the best shane.
Howard Prairie Has the best
opening record with a creel count
of over seven fish per angier. Lois
of five fish over 12 inch limits
were taken and the bank fisher
men seemed to have the best of
it with nightcrawlers taking the
honors.
Lake of the Woods Has provid
ed limits of rainbow and the Jcska
nee are hitting.
Squaw Lakes Reports excellent
fishing with many fish in the 12
to 14 inch bracket. Cluster eggs
from the bank or from a boat
seems to hit it off the best. A creel
count showed 3.12 fish per angler
and 1.98 fish per hour. The road
was in poor shape but is being
graded to be ready for ths week
end.
Willow CreeV Has been provid
ing lots of limits with six to eight
inch fish predominating. A creel
count showed 3,01 fish per angler
and 0.S4 fish per hour. The game
commission found kokanee io make
up one-third of the sample net
tings but so far only 2 have been
counted.
THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
The count at Gold Bar on
April 22 was 43 salmon and
a total of 939S winter sieel
head. Sines most winter steel
head are below the counting
station it is nice to know we
didn't hurt She run this year.
The low count on the salmon
indicates a lot oi good fishing
yet to come, ,
