Newspaper Page TextPAGE TWELVE THE NEWS AND THE HERALD. KLAMATH FALLS. ORE. June 21, 1940 odd YeetaooD Bed Mb Lhod Modus Fish in s Fun . With the weather and fishing condition! changing so often, the taak of predicting anything that ven tmelli like good fishing becomes a "crystal ball" read er's problem. Most all of the lakes and streams have been fished with some measure of success, but limits have been the exception rather than the rule. With the continued fine weath er and the fact that natural feed is abundant the fish are being well taken care of and fed by nature. If you are going to lure them out with hardware and feathers, remember, you will have to use twice as much whatever-it-takes as usual. Leaders should be longer and finer and extra caution taken in both ap proach to the fishing area and presenting the lure. ' ROGUE RIVER district is the closest to anything that is sure fire so far this week. AU sec tions of the river, especially around the Union Creek ranger station, have produced fish. Flies and bait seem to work about equal. Small spinners with snelled hooks and worms are good. The fly patterns can be almost of your own choosing. Most consistently reported are royal coachman, yellow forktail, gray spider, blue upright. Any of the small streams and creeks in the vicinity of Union creek to Trail and Prospect, including the Rogue river, are well worth the trip. The time of day doesn't seem to affect the fishing. Fishing in the UPPER KLAM ATH around ROCKY POINT and CRYSTAL CREEK has been fair and has shown signs of pick ing up. About this time of year the . fishing in this section be comes very good and the fish run large. The most popular and effec tive lure is either a jigger-wobbler or Andy Reeker. Some small tandem-style spinners such as Doc Shelton and CSK also are very good. Worms should be used as bait behind the lat ter two, trolled slower than the wobbler-style lure. Boats and accommodations are available at Gus Johnson's, Harriman lodge. Rocky Point. WOOD RIVER has produced some fish of large size on both spinners and cluster eggs. Troll' ing wobblers I know will catch fish. DIAMOND LAKE has been a very bright spot for the bait fisherman but so far as consis tency in both fly and trolling is concerned this weekend may bring it back to what it was two weeks ago. The largest fish this week out of Diamond lake went 13 i pounds. A number of fish around 8 pounds have been taken. FISH LAKE is fair with fish being taken on bait as about the only sure method.. FOUR MILE LAKE now has boats in operation but fishing generally has been poor. Usual ly at this time of year, with . weather and water as they are. fishing should be good. Small pinners and worms may be the answer. '. EAST LAKE reports eastern brook being taken on bait, with the larger fish caught on trolls. fly fishing is off. PAULINA LAKE reports good fly fishing in the late after noon. Deep trolling with two- bladed flasher and worms has caught some big fish. DAVIS LAKE has been tough on fly fishermen so far this sea son. I know some really expert fly fishermen who have wet their lines there and worked hard at it with little or no luck, yet they report plenty of fish in the lake of large size. 'ODELL LAKE reports show only fair fishing, mostly troll Snf out for "Clarice'," if you're looking for a smooth, mellow whiikey thai strike, the right .not. Aged four years for foodneea and it' inM at 90 Proof YgH'tt0kl V WHISKEY I f-lVJ-ltUHM IH l.T - ing, with some fly fishing in the afternoon. GOLD LAKE is still good for fish on small spinners and bait. some on flies of gray patterns, with few limits reported. CRESCENT LAKE reports show little activity. Some fish have been caught trolling, very few limits. ROSARY LAKES are still good for limits of fish but they are small In size. NORTH ROS ARY has reported the largest catches to date. NORTH FORK of the Sprague river reports some fish on clus ter eggs, also No. 2 Colorado 2-tone spinners. Fly fishing off. The CHEWAUCAN RIVER seems to be made to order for a few who really know this wa ter, but generally the fishing has been way off. A number of small streams and some of the lakes south and east of Klamath Falls have re ported fishing as good. Usually these reports are from men who know the country thoroughly and are familiar with the par ticular water mentioned. My suggestion to those who are fig uring on fishing in these waters is to go with someone who really knows the conditions. A lot of fishing reported in this section is by "cranks" who will report good fishing in one section in the hope of throwing a lot of fishermen off a location in some other part of the country. How much easier it is to say nothing rather than to build up the hopes of men who take their fishing seriously. PADRES HEAR LEAGUE TOP; STARS WIN Bt The Associated Press The race in the Pacific Coast league tightened around the midsection Friday as San Diego maneuvered into position to re claim its former first division berth. The Padres, after haltinc their fall towards the basement Thurs day night, pulled up to within six percentage points of Holly wood and Sacramento who are tied for third. Dick Newsome, ace San Diego pitcher, put the Padres in the winning column for the first time in eight starts by burling a i to u snutout over Portland's cellar club. It took Newsome 11 innings io get trie better of Ray Harrell. Portland, pitcher, and win. his twelfth victory to retain second place among the circuit's regu lar pitcners. Hollywood went into a tie for third by drubbing San Fran cisco 6 to 1. Bill Flemina. Hoi lywood moundsman, limited San irancisco batters to two hits and missed a shutout when shortstop Don Trower registered ror the seals in the sixth. Seattle took advantage of an erratic fourth inning to increase its lead with a 5 to 2 victory over Sacramento. Los Angeles made it three in a row over Oakland with an 11 to 6 win. Golfer Gets 'Birdie But Cards Par 4 SEATTLE, June 21 (P) Bill Bums, Redmond, Wash., golfer entered in the Pacific Northwest open golf tourna ment, got a birdie on the sixth hole Thursday, but he had to mark down a par-four on his score card. Burns' tee shot bounced squarely on the back of a bird standing in the fairway. Both the bird and the shot died on the spot. Despite the mishap, Burns managed to get his par four on the long 479-yard hole. of V-M PT. $1.95 OT. ' Available in Clarke'a Straight Rye and iarae nuiitm Bourbon.

Referee Billy Cavanaugh lifted Godoy from the canvas and halted the bout at 1:24 of the eighth round after the gory chal lenger had been floored twice in that session and once in the seventh. . Cavanagh terminated Godoy's second title attempt because he was apparently helpless and spouting blood from gashes at the corner of his left eye, on the left cheek and the mouth. However, the game Chilean gave the 35,000 fans in Yankee stadium a touch of drama by breaking away from the referee, rushing into Louis' corner and attempting to continue the bat tle. He was quickly halted by police and hustled to his own corner. In retaining his title for the 11th time Louis was lethargic in the early going, although he was ahead of the challenger by a wide margin when the end came. He seemed to be waiting for a pot shot and was content to plug away at Arturo's gashed eye until the big opening came in the seventh. Then it was that Godoy missed a wide right to Louis' head and as he was half bent over before recovery, Louis straightened him up with a smashing right uppercut to the chin. Godoy staggered, then the champion barraged his head with rights and lefts until his bloody oppon ent sank to the canvas on his knees and took the count of five. While the count was going oh the bell rang, ending the round. The Chilean s seconds worked on nun frantically between rounds as Dr. William H. Walker, commission physician examined his eye to see if he should continue the battle. Dr. Walker let the fight continue. Godoy came out of his corner in a low crouch ' and tried to clinch with Bomber Joe, but the champion pushed him away and launched another smashing barrage of uppercuts and hooks at the blood-spattered challen ger and sent him down with a hard right near mid-ring for the count of eight. Referee Cavanagh wiped off Godoy's gloves, and the bomber was after him again, smashing away. A left hook sent him down near the ropes and, without starting to count, Cavanagh leaped to Godoy as he sat on the canvas, lifted him up and started showing him toward his own corner. Godoy had suffered his first knockout in nine years of pro fessional fighting. Never before had he even been floored. Louis, scoring his 39th kayo in 47 professional fights, weighed 199 pounds, the lowest since he wrested the title from Jim Brad- dock in 1937. Godoy registered 2014. While no official figures were announced, the crowd was esti mated at 39,000 and the gate at $165,000. iledford lletmen To Meet Locals The Klamath Falls tennis team will be near top .strength for its invasion of the Medford courts Sunday morning. This will be the first match the season for the Klamath team, and from indications will be a severe test Medford, with four college regulars as a nu cleus will field a large and well balanced outfit. ' ' Klamath, on the other hand, has most of last year's undefeat ed team back, as we 11. as. a couple of other players of high calibre. ' ' 1 Included 'in' the traveling squad will be Mustoe, Olson, Hastings, Richmond, Crawford, Robertson, Dent, Moller and Subject.

The slender Tacoma profes sional held a three-stroke lead over his three nearest competi tors after all the scores were in at the halfway mark. Never once going over par, Congdon had a sizzling 32-34 66 which, with his 67 of the day before, gave him a 133 total, seven strokes under the Sand Point 35-3570 par. Bud Ward, national amateur champion who has been draw ing the big share of the tourney gallery, and who also is the de fending northwest open titlist; Freddie Wood, ranking Vancou ver, B. C, professional, and for mer Walker cupper Harry Givan of Seattle, recent British Colum bia open winner, were grouped in second place at 136. Ward slipped to a one-undcr-par 69 after his opening 67. Wood tied Congdon for having the lowest scoring round when he duplicated the Tacoman's 32 34 for Thursday's 66, which he tacked onto his opening day's 70. Givan, one of the opening day's five leaders with a 67, joined Ward with a 69. Bowman Cleared In Beaning Case EW YORK, June 21 IF) rora rack, president of the National league, Friday ab solved Pitcher Bob Bowman of any blame in connection with the "beaning" of Joe Medwick, orooKiyn Dodger outfielder, on Tuesday. Medwick was discharged from the hospital Thursday night, ap parently well on his way to ward recovery from concussion of the brain, suffered when he was hit on the head by one of Bowman's fast balls in a game between the Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. Frick said his investigation revealed no evidence of intent to injure Medwick on the part of the young Cardinal pitcher and : that the charges against Bowman therefore were dis missed. 'The Brooklyn club, through President Larry MacPhail, had charged formally that Bowman deliberately" and "with pre meditation" beaned Medwick. - Another investigation, begun by William O'Dwyer, district attorney of Kings county, was closed when O Dwyer said he could find no evidence of in tent on Bowman's part. Medwick, on his release from the hospital, said he felt so far recovered that he probably would be. able to get back into the Dodger - lineup over the weekend. BASEBALL STANDINGS AMERICAN LEAGUE W.

They have Just 'succeeded In casting the already confused first division of tho American lcaguo into chaos.

They got there Thursday by blasting the Boston Red Sox in both ends of a dou blcheader 2-1 and 11-4 to run their current winning streak to six games. It is notable that the browns now have won 27 gumes and lost 30 while lust year they didn't get their 27th victory un til August 4 by which time they had lost 68.

There were cuts above Go doy's right eye that looked llko they wero put there by a razor. His left eye was almost closed. His lips wcro puffed three limes their normal size.
