This col nmnlct .on hour with no serious increases in blood pressure, that .1 j ..I . ine ice is out in uie iutmie nuvva nn ihft lfinHlnrlrri snlmnn and togue are striking furiously: that in Wisconsin big pike are almost jumping into me Doais; even inai anglers at Peconic bay are haul ing in weakfish by the dozen and a big run of blues is reported heading north. . . . But this note from Dave up at Freedom vil lage is almost too much to en dure. a JUST FISHIN' "Today I went fishing," Dave writes. "I dug some worms and started in at the village dam with the intention to fish down to the outlet After 15 minutes, I felt a helluva jerk and then a few more, so I pulled in a 12-inch rainbow. No kidding, right in the brook directly behind the store. . . . . The bugs are beginning to bite badly, but now I was deter mined that jothing would deter me. It really was beautiful down by the stream; the apple blossoms are all out and the brook is just high enough. Everything was perfect. . .In the course of my excitement I lighted a cigarette. It smelled funny or ai least I thought I smelled something burning. It was only my new $1.19 sweat shirt. Just then I clipped and darn near went all the way in; I did manage to put the fire in my clothing out, though. . . The pungent smell of burning wool snuffed out the aroma of apple blossoms, but still I fished on. . . . Every time I got discouraged, the 12-incher would jump around in the basket and I would sing aioud (the worst thing one can do around a trout stream) . . . Down by Sim's I got another bite and another beauti ful trout broke the water and played around before I stuck him in my basket 121 inches. . . . The time is here; the fish are biting; the weather is great; to- . mnrrnw for hreakfast I shall have S-Httle rainbow trout . . . Spring only comes once a year; why don't you come, too, for a few outin's?" P. S. If this column turns up missing for a few days, you'll know where I am.

Associated Press Sports Writer The Detroit Tigers nudged the New York Yankees and the St Louis Cardinals out of the major league limelight yesterday. The Bengals swept a doubleheader from Washington to run their winning streak to six straight and climb into tne American league first division. Dizzy Trout and Kal New- houser turned in two line alien ing performances to whip the Senators, 2 to 1 and 7 to 1, at Washington in the latest develop ment of their road winning streak that started in Philadel phia lust Wednesday night, when an error let Trout beat Bobo Newsom, of the A's, in a 2-1 struggle. Trout has pitched two of the six games with Rufus Gen try, Johnny Corsica, btubby Overmire and Newhouser also going the route in the other games. . Meanwhile the Yankees twice beat the St Louis Browns at Yankee stadium, before 59,161 (54,725 paid), largest crowd of the season. The Yanks took the opener, 4 to 3, in 12 innings when George. Caster forced home the winning . run by walking Johnny Lindell with the bases loaded. The nightcap was com paratively easy for the Bronx Bombers, 8 to 1." The Cardinals, breezing along in the National league top spot, walloped the New York Giants at St. Louis, 10 to 3, in the first game, but had to be content with a split when the Giants took the nightcap, 7 to 5.

The Boston Red Sox wound up their home stand by whipping the Chicago White Sox twice, 4 to 3 and 9 to 2, to sweep a four game series. The double setback dumped the Sox into the cellar. Cincinnati shoved Brooklyn deeper into seventh place in the National loop by winning a doubleheader. 5 to 3 and 6 to 5. Gee Walker's single with two out won the nightcap, which went 10 innings. Cleveland made it three straight over Connie Mack's Philadelphia Athletics by taking the first game of a twin bill, 5 to 4, in 11 innings, but dropped the nightcap, 3 to 2, on Steve Gromek's wild pitch in the eighth. George Kell of the A's scored from second on the errant heave. In the opener, Bobo New som fanned 12 batters, but still was the losing pitcher.

The Phils were ahead, 9 to 4, in the second game when it was called after th eighth inning because of the Sun day curfew law. The last inning will be played the next time the x-iius visit ruisDurgn. until then the game does not count in the standings.
