nn ihft lfinHlnrlrri snlmnn and
togue are striking furiously: that

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?"

Tigers Take
Senators in
Double Tilt
Yankees teat Browns Two
Timet in New York;' Cards
Breeze Along in Top Spot
By TED MEIER .
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. Giants Mana
ger Mel Ott hit his first homer
away from the Polo Grounds in
two years.
Charley Grimm's Chicago
Cubs surprised by blasting the
Boston Braves, 15 to 1 and 14 to
5 at Wrigley field. Al Javery,
Braves starting pitcher, was ban
ished in the third inning of the
second game for disputing Um
pire Jocko Conlan's calling of
balls behind the plate.
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.
Frank Colman's pinch triple in
the eighth gave Pittsburgh a 4 to
3 triumph over the Phillies in
the first game of their twin bill at
Pittsburgh. 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.
