SP$RT PAGE Edited By John I. Anderson Rambling With The j Sports Editor [ i «——»---X PRO AT HIGHLANDER , , , Hans Merrell, twin brother of Fritz Merrell, athletic director at Ecusta, has been appointed pro and in structor at the new Highlander golf course in Akron, Ohio. For the past two season, he has been serving as assistant pro at the Congress golf course in Akron. From the Akron daily, we quote: “A leading amateur from Brevard and Asheville, N. C., Merrell qualified for the national amateur in 1948. and in 1949 won the Ohio Peddlers tourna ment at Lima, where last year he tied the course record with a 65 card. He also has record rounds of 65 at Mayfair and Brevard. Mer rill’s lowest all-time score is a 64, registered Sunday at Sunset country dob at St. Petersburg. Fla., where he winters. Last year he finished In a tie for third place in the Akron Open at Canton Tam-O-Shanter. • • • • NOTES FROM BURHANS . . . There are a number of fishermen in this county who cannot be called “sportsmen.” Game Protector Wade Bagwell has apprehended some who were fishing on posted property. Several others were charged with “dynamiting” and at their hearing last Saturday the magistrate considered the violation severe enough to hold the case over to the next session of superior court. A conviction in court will probably result in stiff fines, plus court costs. . . Fishing in the Wildlife Management area of the Pisgah preserve was too good for some last week. Three anglers were caught with more than their creel limit of 10 trout. They appeared before U. S. commissioner Alex Kizer and received fines of from $15.00 to $25.00. The streams in Pisgah Forest are patrolled by Federal Game wardens and State Game protect ors and a large percentage of game violators are apprehended and con victed. Other infractions are fishing without a permit and using live bait in restricted areas. . . . Thousands of sportsmen enjoy the past-time of Isaac Walton followers along the streams of this county. Game laws have been enacted for the best advantage of the majority and the viola tion of such laws is a crime against other fishermen and hunters, not against the “government” as they may suppose. Game Protectors de serve all the help and cooperation we can give them if they are to rep resent our best interest. . . Let’s obey our game laws and urge others to do so, too. . .Good luck has been reported by many fishermen using surface lures on stream and lake. The trout fishermen can do well with light dry flies if they can put the fly on the surface skilfully. This type <of fishing is probably the most exciting and requires real skill. Bass fishermen are reporting better luck using surface plugs and the fly rod addicts are finding poppers and other small surface lures quite ef fective. Even the bream, who are so fond of worms and other live bait, are being caught on fly rod outfits. There has been a great increase in the interest in spinning equipment. Several fishermen of this area are doing nearly all of their bass fishing now with the “slip cast” reel on a matching rod. Much lighter lines and lures are used and better de ception can be achieved. Joe Siniard, Chan Ashworth, Bill Lyday, Sam Kent and other are having the time of their lives with their spinning outfits. Ask them about it.

That’s pro ductivity for sure!” When you thuik of prescrip tions, think of VARNER’S—adv. GAME OF THE DAY OVER W P N F Thursday, June 21 — White Sox vs Yankees, 1:25 p. m.

(International Exclusive) WILDLIFE CLUB HOLDS MEETING Loftis Reports On Progress Of Fish Rearing Pro gram In Transylvania A report on the fish rearing program in Transylvania was made at the last regular meeting of the Transylvania Wildlife club last Thursday night over the city hall. In the absence of the chairman of the program, Goode Loftis, Wade Bagwell, game protector, made the report. This year 10,000 large finger ling trout, brown and rainbow, were received from the state hatch ery and are being reared by one of the members, George Brown, at the Pink Beds. Mr. Bagwell pointed out the advantage of get ting larger fish than in previous years from the point of economy for the club and the opportunity of planting the fish at an earlier date. As in previous years, they are to be placed in streams through out the county. The next meeting of the club will be held out of doors and time and place will be announced later. E. W. Fentress, who has been in charge of the federal trout rearing pool on Davidson river, was the speaker. He discussed some of the problems of fish prop agation and related some of his experiences throughout the coun try and in Alaska. He commended he club and its members on the work they are doing to improvfe fishing conditions in this area. He said that unless a large num ber of fishermen take an interest in keeping their streams stocked for the few who can afford to be long to private clubs or can and protected fishing will soon be stock private water. PLAN TO OPEN LITTLE LEAGUE Games Will Be Played On Saturday Morning With Weather Permitting A big league manager was once asked about his team’s prospects for the coming season. He re plied by saying that his team would lose some—win some, and some games would be rained out. Team members of the “Elks Little” League are beginning to wonder about their teams’ win ning or losing; they are sure that some of the games will be rained out, For the second Saturday, wet weather prohibited any attempt to officially open the “Little” lea gue. Saturday, however, will be a new day and the schedule calls for competition between Pisgah For est and Maple Street at 10:00 A. M. on the college diamond. At 11:30 o’clock Gallamore Hill will tangle with the East Main Street Eagles. Original plans for open ing day ceremonies will be carried out on Saturday providing the lea gue gets a decent break in the weather. DELIBERATE STUMBLING The head of a successful and rowing company was asked, “How do you happen to stumble on all these new products?” Pointing to the research build ing across the street, the official leplied, “You see, we maintain a ‘Stumbling Department’ just for that purpose.” TRY TIMES WANT ADS! mix VA\ «*** Doube-Acting Baking Powder Calumet... <* 24c For Salads and Cooking Wesson Oil.. «■*»•»• 39c Franco-American Savory Beef Gravy.. *>. tc» 16c Johnson's Floor Polish Glo-Coat....
