Jack Hurst, district conservation officer, reported today. The Streams are low and clear now, and the trout are a little “spooky,” refusing to rise to the lures. Such veteran fishermen as Leo N. Seltenright of Decatur and Hurst' himself are having trouble catching the illusive game fish. Hurst reported that he found Seltenright fishing a stream the middle of the afternoon, and he had not yet caught any. At the time the game officer was about to quit, and he cast fiis worm out in front of Seltenright. A trout grabbed it, and he threw it up on the bank beside Steltenright, who was thoroughly disgusted after an afternoon of all bad luck. Last year an opening day Seltenright and a party of Decatur fishermen had fish- ' ed the streams; and Seltenright had brought back more than all toe rest of the mtogether. so Hurst was quite pleased to “put one over” on the Adams county agent ! mljor n /gayueßeAu&£\ National League W.

Cards Suffer 7th Straight Loss Wednesday By MILTON RICHMAN Unjted Pess Sports Writer Something’s screwy in St. Looey. Stan (The Man) Musial is practically in outer space with a stillsoaring .529 batting average while the Cardinals seem to be slipping clear out of sight with an awfully sore 3-14 record. Lew Burdette of the Braves shoved the Cards deeper into the National League cellar Wednesday night with a five-hit 9-2 victory. Budette had all of the Redbids eating out of his' hand with one notable exception. Musial, of course. Slugging Stan, off and running in quest of his eighth batting title, drove in both St Louis runs with a pair of doubles and a single. He now needs only seven hits toward his goal of 3,000. And just to give you an idea of how Musial is doing in the bating race, he is “only” 150 points ahead of his nearest competitor—Cincinr nati’s Don Hoak. Ahead From Start The Braves wasted little time in starting the Cards on their way to their seventh straight loss Wednesday night. Milwaukee clinched the game in the first inning by hammering out Herm Wehmeier in a six-run barrage. Doubles by Hank Aaron and Frank Torre along with Wes Covington’s tworun homer accounted for most of the damage. Burdette chipped in with three hits himself in coasting to his third victory. Milwaukee outfielder Bob Hazle was struck on the head by a pitch thown by reliever Larry Jackson and although he was removed to a hospital, his injury was called not serious. —The Braves’ victory kept them a half-game behind toe souped-up Chicago Cubs, who held on to first place with a 5-1 victory over the Cincinnati Redlegs. Southpaw Taylor Phillips, who came to the Cubs in a muchcriticized deal with the Braves last winte, stopped the Redlegs on five hits. The Cubs, meanwhile, pecked away at lose rßrooks Lawrence and Johnny Lkippstein for nine, including three by Dale Long. Homers Fail Pirates The San Francisco Giants beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 8-6, despite a barrage of four home runs by the losers The Pirates tied a major league record in the fifth when Bob Skinne, Ted Kluszewsld and Frank Thomas slammed consecutive homers. Kluszewski hit his second homer of the game with one on in the seventh but it wasn’t enough to keep Bob Fiend from suffering his first defeat after four straight victories. Rookie Bob Schmidt s three-run homer featued a four-run Giant uprising in the fourth that stretched San Francisco’s lead to 6-1. Reliever Ron Blackburn gave up what poved to be the deciding run in the fifth when he walked Schmidt with the bases full and the Giants added another run in the same frame. Red Worthington was the winner. Southpaw Curt Simmons scored his first victory over the— Dodgers in four years t>y pitching the Phillies to a 9-3 verdict. Granny Hamner and Stan Lopata provided the hard core of Philadelphia’s 15-hit attack with three hits apiece. Hamner had a single, double and a triple while Lopata socked a homer and twjo singles. Carl Furrillo drove in all of Los Angeles’ runs with a threetup homer in the third. Rookie Knuckleballer Fred Kipp suffered the loss. • Over in the , American League Detroit ana Washington split a twi-night twin biU, the Tigers taking the opener, 5-1, and the Senators the nightcap, 11-4. - The split kept the Senators in sepond place, a game behind the league-leading Yankees Reno Bertoia, sought by the Sehators all spring, won the opener? for Detroit with the first grandslam homer or his career in a fhfe-run first inning against Camilo Pascua:. Fank Layr pitched a unique game for the Tigers, giving up 13 hits and striking out eight. He had a shutout until the ninth when Eddie Yost homeredjt Was an entirely different story in’ the nightcap. Washington knocked out Jim Bunning in the second inning and Senator rookie Hal Griggs checked the Tigers oh seven hits. Clint Coutney paced the Senators’ 15-hit attack with two doubles and a single. Rain, which has been deluging the East the last five days, washed out games between the Yankees and Indians, the Athletics and Orioles, and the Red Sox and White Sox.

31 Racers Try Out Indianapolis Track INDIANAPOLIS (UP) — World champion Juan Manuel Fangio was expected to pass the final familiarization test today, and complete the first step of his bid for a starting berth in this year’s 500-mile Memorial Day auto race. Fangio and 30 other drivers, veteans and rookies, took to the 2%-mile track Wednesday as sunny Skys and mid temperatures broke a five-day cold snap accompanied by rain. Very little activity had occurred since the track • opened for practice last Thursday due to the bad weather and drivers and mechanics were becoming inceasingly impatient to work the "bugs” out of the racers in preparation for the first weekend of time trials May 17-18. Fangio was one of three rookies who took drivers’ tests Wednesday. He passed the 115, 120 and 125 miles per hour phases and was expected to pass the 130-mph portion today. Jack Ensley of Indianapolis completed the first two phases and also was expected to complete the tests today. Two other rookies took advan-

tage of the mild weather to pass the test. They were Paul Goldsmith of St. Clair Shoes, Mich., and Joe Giba of Denver, at 48 the oldest driver on the track. But it was left up to two vetearn drivers to provide the most thrills. Ed Elislan of Oakland. Calif, turned in a lap of 142.4 mph, the best speed clocked unofficially this year. Johnny Thomson of Boyerton, Pa., plunged his car off the track and onto the infield, but he was not hurt and the car was not damaged. “I don’t know just what happened," Thomson said. *‘l was just stepping on it and ready to take a fast lap when I lost it.” Meanwhile, Speedway owner Tony Hulman announced that Sam Hanks, the 1957 race winner, would have the title of "director of racing" and would act as coodinator between the Speedway, car owners and drivers. Hanks was hired by Hulman last week. Meanwhile, the ‘rookie of the year” award committee ruled that Fangio is eligible for the trophy. As in past years, any newcomer to the "500” qualifies for the honor. The committee also decided against Elmer George, a rookie starter last year but sidelined when he was involved in an accident on the parade lap.
