Angling Still Good At Buckeye
Despite poor fishing reports from
other areas anglers are still enjoy
ing a degree of success at the Buck
eye quarry. Channel cats are still
hitting a variety of baits. Shrimp,
liver, minnows and worms are all
attractive with night crawlers pos
sibly gamering more strikes than
the other types.
Jess Manges made a catch of 12
channels on Saturday morning and
on Sunday morning snagged 14 more.
Jess made his catches from a boat
while drift-fishing. A stranger on
Sunday morning also made a nice
catch of channels.
Late Sunday evening Cleon Steiner
and R. V. Kirtland snagged a dozen
channels fishing from the swimming
beach. Last Friday evening Kirtland
hooked 10 channels from the same
place. Monday night Bob Lewis
snagged 3 channels using shrimp
for bait.
Some anglers w*ere hooking a few
singles and several others had sever
al fish on their stringer. This scribe

By the Yankees making a clean

pulled away to a 2 game lead over
the second place Cardinals. The
Indians, after losing a twin-bill to
the Yankees, came back on a hitting
spree to head the Cardinals 16-5
which keeps them right in the thick
of it for chances of winning the
league pennant. The All-Stars are
still in bad luck, but are proving
themselves as a threat to every team
they play.
The All-Stars team will be picked
this week for the All-Star game
with the Jr. league.
