With wis last spurt of warm
weather and a forecast of fair to
food fishing conditions, the next
few weeks should see some" good
fi&htnj days for the basin anglers.
During the past week. Klamath
River has been good to most
anglers, with several limits being
taken from stream, which has been
low for quite a few days.
Some have been Using all shades
of Wobble Rites, others have re
lied upon the Super Duper at
times with good results. Lately
the rainbows have been rising to
take, a fly. In the late evening
hours.
Besides these above mentioned
lures, the old 'fashioned gardcu
hackle seems to have the secret
touch at times when nothing else
will do.
Three local fishing enthusiasts.
George Smith, Bill Jenkins and
Doug Pucketl were a' few of the
anglers who made their limit catch
es this last week on the river.
These three, like many others, re
lied upon the fly fishing for their
catches.
the Jackson county lake.
Diamond Lake, open just last
week after being froten over since
th opening of trout season, pro
duced catches of near limit fish
to some, while others failed to do
much.
The bait used by anglers who
made the nice catches at Diamond
were single eggs and clusters.
The Umpqua River, in the Rose
burg area, has been "hot as a fire
cracker" according to all reports
from sources who have been In
that area the past few days.
Gerber Reservoir is still produc
ing fine catches of crappie and
other spiny-ray fish. The road into
the fishing area is In good condition

have made use of It so tar this sea

10 pound plus rainbows tonght It
out for the weekly prite, but Fred
Scutter's 10 pound six ouncer took
the top honors. The second largest
fish entered was landed by Mrs.
Lonnle Lewis. Her fish weighed in
at 10 pounds one ounce.
Suctter was using a hot rod
when the big -one took a hold.

beginning to take hold of lore:
and worms. During the early part
of the week, a family that was at
the park, was doing very well,
with near limits per person, every
day. The fish that are being brought
out of the lake should still be
good, and will probably remain so
until the real hot weather hits later
in the summer, and then the lish
will take on a taste.
Crescent Creek and the Little
Deschutes produced good catches
for anglers last week, and with
the continued warm weather, this
week should also be good. A little
later in the season fly fishing will
le at it's very best on these two
streams.
Fish Lake has been the scene of
several nice catches to anglers who
fish those waters. Ford fenders
with worms and other trailing lures
seem to be the trend of thought on
So far thts week the largest
fish to be entered is a five pound
six ounce rainbow caught-by Tony
Schukis on the Upper Lake, while
using a Wobble Rite.
After a check with the state po
lice office this week, their files
show only three arrests for game
violations during the past week of
fishing.
. Two were made in a road check
when it was learned that two
anglers have gone beyond their
daily bag limit of trout in the Lake
County area.
The last one was made at Gerber
Reservoir when the defendant was
caught using perch as bait, and
a wanton waste of $ame fish
charge was placed against him.

Detectives Mot

NEW YORK WSo tho Phila

on second baseman Granny Hn inner.
"So what?" baseball men ask.
Private eyes are nothing new in
baseball strictly old stuft.
It s my understanding that all
major league clubs, at one time
or another, have had their play
ers' habits investigated." said
B aseball Commissioner Ford
Frick.
Sure, we all have done It and
do It still," acknowledged another
highly placed baseball figure, "It's
business. It's for the protection of
baseball's integrity."
Hanuicr got suspicious of a man
tailing him and had him arrested.
The man turned out to be an in
vestigator hired by Phlls's owner
Bob Carpenter, so Carpenter said.
Hamner cried. "Gestapo tactics."
Old-time Yankees recall that Col.
Jacob Ruppert once hired a de
tective to spy on members of his

At St. Louis, he suggested the
players be his guests. He took a
bunch of them to a night club,
where he brought out drinks and
pretty girls. Then he lined them
all up and posed them for a pic

A few days later the players
were called Into Rupperl's oilier
and confronted with the picture
and the private detective.
"That blnnkety-blnnk double'

NEW YORK W The greatest
problem faced by any baseball
manager is a highly personal one
that of trying to superintend the
after-hours activities of the group
of high-spirited and talented young
colts who have been entrusted to
his care with the object of winning
a pennant.
The successful manager is the
i one who solves this delicate prob-
( lem In human relationships, who
knows when to bend a little in the
cases of certain of his athletes
who can "break training" with a
minimum of harm and to crack
down hard on those who cannot. .
The manager who is aa absolute
martinet, who lays down stringent
rules and enforces them inflexibly
against all hands, will end up with
a sore-headed ball club rooted in
the second division. The one who
tries to be baddies with his boys
end puts them on their honor to
keep in shape as a certain fresh
man manager did sine years ago
will fall on bis face just as
surely. ' , '
There Is, in other words, a very
delicate balance. The best of the
managers seem to strike it sort oi
instinctively. Some never do, and
that is why, more than any other
reason, there is such a 'steady
turnover of pilots in the big
leagues. An owner, speaking hon
estly and privately, almost always
will tell you he fired his manager
because he 'let the players get
away from him."
Granny Hamner cf the Phils
has no real reason to feel liverish,
just because he discovered that his
employers were having him tailed. :
It's been going on as long as we've
been around the game, and doubt
less long before that. Every player j
we've ever heard discuss this facet 1
of the great national pastime knew
he was subject to a certain amount
of surveillance during . the late
hours and accepted it' along with
his salary check:
..While we have long heard of
clubs, usually at the manager's re
quest, hiring private eyes to check
up on their athletes in exceptional
cases, the normal state Is for the
manager and his coaches to take
care of the chore, themselves. Usu
ally one of the coaches is known
privately among the players as
the club's "policeman." He gets
around pretty well himself when
the team Is on the road and makes
some effort to mingle with the ath
lttes, but as they are on to him
his value as a gumshoe is strictly
limited. .:
