IT ? tuning nme, regardless oi
what the weatherman may aay
about It. Easter cornea a little
early thU year, and with the trout
aeaaon opening next week, anglers
are looking to their tackle, repair
ing that which waa damaged in the
latter part of the aeaaon laat year
and cleaning and oiling reela In
preparation for their try at out
witting wily trout.
The srtmon opens in ltorth Caro
lina on April 5. and many of the
streams have been restocked in
preparation for that day.
?The weatherman has been throw
ing curves at the flshermen for the
paat week or so but the prospect
of clearing and warmer weather is
hoped for, especially for the ones
who wade the swift flowing trout
streams of thts area.
Incidentally. If you are planning
to try your hick In your favorite
stream, you will likely see a differ
ence this year from the one you
fished last year. All the streams
in thla area are carrying more
water than at any time in the last
few years Will thia be good for
the man with the rod or not? That
la ? big question.
Quite a number of lake flsher
mea hare braved the elements to
try their hick in the lakes around
this section. Some good reports
have been coming in from Fentana,
Hiawassee, Nantahala and a few
others.
Of the takea are still rising
and are dingy, which ordinarily
would hinder the ftshlng operation,
but still good catches of crappie
and a few nice bass have been re
ported.
Nantahala has produced a few
nice trout so far thia year in the
headwaters of the lake, but with
weather being unfavorable, espec
ially to the Aahertaan, only a few
have tried their luck.
It is rumored around Fontana
that this is the year the lake will
rise to Ita full height. With a little
cooperation with the ones that
eontrol the flow of water at the
dam. thla could be the year that
the lake could be filled. There is
considerable more water flowing
Into the lake than at any time
since the lhke was formed for this
time of . year. The water is still
rising at the rate of about two
feet every twenty-four hours.
Access to the lake is getting
better and better ai the water
rises, which has been somewhat
of a barrier heretofore.
Getting a little closer home. :
Lake Junaluska plans to open the j
lake for flahing next Monday. |
April 2. The lake has been cloaed |
for ovw $ year to Ashing due to
the e'.eanlng out of undesirable
Hsh, mainly carp, and restocking
with baas, bream and crappie. The
lake la being opened soemwhat
earlier than Was previously an
ticipated. in that the Ash have
thrived much better than expected.
Lake Junaluska la under the
supervision of the N. C. Wildlife
department and a county or state
license is required to be able to
Ash, plus the normal Afty-cents
a day fee put on by the Assembly.
The Wildlife Department states
that the lake shdulA be "Ashed
hard" In order that it not become <
overstocked and therefore crfuslng '
the Aah not to grow. The food H
supply in the lake ts* limited to <
just so many Ash.
Fishing permits- for Lake Juna- ]
luska can be secured, starting
next Monday, from Everett Mc- J
Elroy, warden for the lake.

Ruth's Home Run Record
Ready To Re Shattered
By FRANK ECK
AP \ rwrf f a torn Sport* Editor
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) ? Baseball's
most celebrated record ? the 60
home rune Babe Ruth hit (or the
1*7 New York Yankees ? la about
to be broken.
And who la going to do It?
"Why. one of three men," gays
Manager Birdie Tebbetts of the
Cincinnati Redlegs. "There's our
first baseman Ted Kluszewskl,
Willie May* of the Giants and Ed
Mathews of the Milwaukee Braves.
"There is no question in my
mind that the record is about to
be broken. There are too many
fellows with the potential. These
three fellows all will have a better
chance thla year.
"1 think the guy who will break
the record must have a good bitter
back of him. It means the pitch
ers must pitch to that big slugger
batting in the third spot. I think
Klussekski, who flit 49 home runs
in 1954 and 47 last year, has the
belt chance. With Wally Post
hitting back of him the National
League pitchers will pitch more to
Klu. Post had his best season in
1999. He bit 40 home runs and
batted .S09. Kluszewki and Post
form the best one-two punch in
both leagues.
"Mathews has a good chance at
Ruth's record because he hits
* head of Hank Aaron who seems to
be getting better. If the Giants
come up with a solid hitter be
hind Mays, watch out. Willie hit
91 last year and has ideas.
"Duke Snider, with Roy Campan
cila following him in the Brooklyn
l'ne-up, has a good chance to hit
60.
"Then there's Ernie Banks of
Chioaon Wo HU aa u-* ---?
<??? ti toji year ana
he's only 25 and figures to get
better. But the Cubs don't have a
big stick to follow hina.
"Only condition will operate
against these men. Some of the
parka are shorter than in the
Babe's day, but today we play
day and night ball and the hitters
are facing better day-after-day
pitching."
The year Ruth hit 60, Gehrig
at 24. batted .373; Lou and Babe
formed the greatest one-two punch
baseball has ever known.
"There's no doubt that Gehrig's
presence behind Ruth helped the
Babe's mark," says Tebbetts
"When Jimmy Foxx hit 68 in 1932
for, the Philadelphia Athletics be
had A1 Simmons back of him.
(Simmons hit .322 for his ninth
straight time above .300.) And
when Hank Greenberg hit 58 for
Detroit in 1938 he had slugger
Rudy York following him."
Tebbetts, who caught 1,162
games in the majors, never was
noted for hitting homers. But as
a catcher he observed the great
hitters. He's played with Williams
In Boston and Greenberg In De
troit.
Ruth was 32 when he set his
charmed 60 and Tebbetts points to
the fact that Kluszewski will be 32
On Sept. 10.
"You wouldn't want a better guy
than big Ted to break Ruth's rec
ord," says George (Birdie) Tebbetts.
"He's the same kind of a guy Lou
Gehrig was, and if he played in
New York he'd be getting the same
kind of publicity from sports writ
ers that Ruth and Gehrig got. I'll
give Klu the hit sign anytime. I
think he should get every chance
at the record."
PHcher Marv Grlssom is the
oldest player for the New York
Giants. He la 38.
Inflelder Hector Lopez of the
Kansas City Athletics was born
in Colon, Panama, and still makes
his home there.
