SPORTS—Through The Eagle’s Eyes HORT Eight-Week Schedule PORT Adopted for First Softball Play Half HOTS S League to Purchase Um pire Jerseys, Caps Is the Decision Saturday ANOTHER ANGLE FOR THE SNAGGER OF FISH— Happenstance resulted in a trip Monday to the Keasey power plant of the Oregon Gas and Electric Monday to be followed by the short walk to the dam providing water for the pipe line of the plant by two people familiar with fishing laws prohibiting the snagging of fish. The decrease in flow of water over the dam at this tinfe of the year has closed the fish ladder which makes possible the journey of fikh past the man-made obstruc tion. Consequently, locked below the dam were fish probably num bering in excess of one hundred. The flow of water was low and the amount of protection offered fish therein of little consequence making it possible to practice the “art” of snagging easily. A decision by the members of the Vernonia Softball League last Thursday evening adopted an eight- week schedule of play for the first half of the season. The play for that time will have two exhibition g. mes at the end of the third and sixth weeks of play at which time it will be possible for make up games Should it not be possible to* adhere to the schedule due to rain or for any other reason previous to those times.

Here and There Around Town By June McKay Well—trout season opened with a bang Saturday morning and it seems as if it scared most of the fish ’til they wouldn’t bite and of course all of the local fishermen were out fishing. The weather seemed to celebrate too. Did you notice how seemed , to nice it was? 1 Bad —- luck ----- ---------- run in most of the streams rather than fish. Bob Raymer didn’t seem to have so much good luck. Neither did Tom Bateman. Lowell Hieber caught two Sunday. (He didn’t have to throw them back either). Others went but didn’t have so much luck. Paul Gor don and Emil Messing were two but I don’t known if they caught anything. By the way, if you would like to the best try enjoy your trout fixed ** them this way. After cleaning and washing them, wipe thoroughly dry with the soft __ linen towel's are most cloth (old satisfactory). Sprinkle inside and out with salt and pepper, roll in flour—just common bread flour (never cracker crumbs or corn meal) and fry to a golden brown in plenty of piping hot bacon fat. To make your meal complete serve them with a big platter of hot baking powder or butter'' milk bis cuits and a generous supply of butter, a nice fresh green salad (lettuce alone is nice) and lots of coffee. This is a perfect meal for a trout lover but please, don’t spoil it by serving a dessert.
