Bluegills still are moving into shallow water and are hitting good on poppers and rubber spiders in 21 northeastern Indiana counties. Largemouth bass in this area are biting good on night crawlers and surface plugs. Smallmouth bass and walleyes are being caught in the St. Joseph river near Elkhart on night •rawlers. Fishing- will be bad for a few days because of the water conditions, Hurst said. Streams are flooded, especially in Adams county, and in some areas fisherman cannot get to the rivers and creeks. —l— 1 Major League Leaders National League Player A Club G. ABB. H. Pct.

Veterans Lead Opening Round Os U.S. Open TULSA, Okla. (UPD-The toughest and one of the most criticized U.S. Open championships of them all saw three veterans of the golfing wars—Julius Boros, Tommy Bolt and Dick Metz—lead the field into the second round today with the Southern Hills course's tough par 70 proving more than the nation's best golfers could crack. Boros, who won the Open in 1952 and who is 38; Bolt, who is 39 and Metz, who is 50, carded one over par 71’s in the first round—the first time since the Open was held at scorned Oakland Hills at Birmingham, Mich., in 1951, that the field hasn’t been able to break par. Back then, Sam Snead, the 5-1 favorite to win this one, shot a 71. Thursday, Snead, whose driver went sour on him, carded a 75. The 95-dcgree heat, the clutching rough the 25-mile and hour winds, the powdery fine sand traps, the mud in the watered fairways, the pin placements and the spike marks on the green had most of the 162 players in the field groaning. Two of them — Errie Ball and Johnny Bulla — gave up the ghost and withdrew without completing the first round. Believe Course is Fair Not since Oakland Hills, has a course come in for so much complaining. But there was ,a, big difference — here, they think the course is tough, but fair. They blame the conditions here, except for the heat and wind or the U.S. Golf Association. The scores bore out their crying when 81 players—exactly half the field—failed to break 80, .which is 10 over par, and five were in the 90’s. Never has an Open seen such high scores. The pin placements came in for the most criticism. ‘ “What are they trying to do, drive all the young golfers out of business,’ asked the 56-year-old Gene Sarazen, competing in his 28th Open. Sarazen carded an 84. Ben Complains Ben Hogan, shooting for an unprecedented fifth Open crown, said the spike marks on the greens late in the afternoon made it "impossible to get a true line on a putL Ed Furgol, the 1954 Open champion, had a ball'bury in the mud on the first fairway. A stroke off the pace of the leaders was 43-year-oldk, Lloyd Mangrum, who won* this' one back in 1946 and 35-year-old Frank Stranahan. At 73, two strokes beflihd the front running trio, were Bruce Crampton and grandpaw Jimmy Demaret, who is 47. At 74, two-time U.S. amateur champion Harvie Ward, 33; 27-year-old Gene Littler; Smiley Quick, who is 48; and 50-year-old Labron Harris, a teaching pro from Stillwater, Okla. There were 20 at 75. Beside, Hogan, Snead and Middlecoff and Harbert, they included Chick Harbert, Pat Schwab, the young bridegroom from Dayton, Ohio; Mike Souchak, former PGA king Walter Burkemo, Masters champion and leading money winner Arnold Palmer, the veteran Freddie Haas and Rosburg. Dave Beery Awarded Letter At Lakeland SHEBOYGAN, Wis.—John Allen, Lakeland College's director of athletics, has announced letter winners for the past spring sports calendar. Included is Dave Beery, graduate of Monmouth high school, near Decatur, Ind., wtyo was awarded a major letter in track.

Marlene Hagge Far In Lead In Meet MARBLEHEAD, Mass. (UPD— Red-haired Marlene Bauer Hagge wields her putter with authority. And it was that “bold power on the greens that gave her a commanding 10-point lead in the second round of the Triangle Round Robin Invitation golf tournament today. Mrs. Hagge virtually ran away from the field in the opening round of the unique match-medal tournament Thursday. Her putting, perfect for the spacious-but-slow greens of the lush 6,174-yard Tedesco country club course, gave her a. near-record 23 points from the first 18 holes. Marlene was three-under-par with a sizzling 70 under ideal weather conditions. That gave her 23 points, just 10 more than Betty Dodd who landed second on a 73 score. Louise Suggs, Triangle winner in 1955, had a better medal score of 71 but collected only six points in the stiff competition of a foursome composed of Kathy Cornelius, Alice Bauer and defending champion Mickey Wright. Miss Wright faced perhaps the most difficult task of all, because she lost 10 points in the first round, and faced Mrs. Hagge together with Mary Lena Faulk and Betty Rawls in todays topdrawer foursome. The touring professionals face a rugged 36-hole program Saturday before winding up with a fifth round on Sunday. Joe Kaehr To Head Recreation Group Joe Kaehr, former president of the Decatur Rotary club and former vice-president -of the Chamber of Commerce, was elected president of the Decatur recreation committee at the annual election Tuesday. Kaehr will replace Lloyd Cowens, who served as president during the past year. Dr. James Burk was reelected vice-president, and Mrs. Laura Bosse was reelected secretary. Ray Leitz, recently named to the board, is the fifth member. Following the election of officers, bills were approved. A contract with the Ace Exterminating company was signed-for a one-year period. The committee met in special session Thursday night to begin drawing up a budget for 1959. The budget is then submitted to the city council for approvement.

Yanks, Braves Gain Despite Poor Records By FRED DOWN United Preu International I Hie New York Yankees and Milwaukee Braves have disoovesed a neat trick — how to gain ground on a treadmill. ~ It sounds impossible but that’s exactly what the two league leaders have been doing for the last week or 10 days. And it makes you wonder what's going to happen to the races when the defending champs start rolling again. The Yankees, for example, have played only .500 ball since June 7, three wins in six games, yet have increased their American League lad from 8% to nine games. And. since June 1, the Braves have been below .500, four wins in nine games, yet they’ve gone from a game behind the San Francisco Giants to a game and a half in front of them. The business-like Yankees had a trying 10-hour day “at the office” Thursday but wound up protecting their huge lead by winning the 11-inning night game, 3-2, after suffering a 4-1 defeat at the hands of the Kansas City Athletics in the day game. Relief ace Ryne Duren finally established law and order with the upstart Athletics by striking out four of the five batters he faced and picking up his third victory against one loss. Braves Rally To Win » The Braves, meanwhile, treated the Chicago Cubs to an early 4-1 lead with four errors but rallied for a 5-4 triumph and picked up a full game when the Pittsburgh Pirates handed the Giants their fifth straight loss and 12th in 16 games, 2-1, on Curt Raydons twohitter. The Boston Red Sox moved into second place with a 4-2 decision over the Detroit Tigers the Washington Senators nipped tne Chicago Wnite Sox, 6-5 on Neil Chrisley’s eighth-inning triple and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Cleveland Indians, 7-5, in other AL games. In the other NL activity, Brooks Lawrence's six-hitter gave the Cincinnati Redlegs a 5-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals and Harry Anderson led the Philadelphia Phillies to a 4-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Redlegs have a 13-6 record since May 21 when they stood 11-17. The Athletics snapped an 1-8 game losing streak at Yankee Stadium > W when * Ray... Herbert pitched a six-hitter. Billy Hunter, traded after the game to Cleveland, hit a two-run triple and Bob Cerv hit his 16th homer to lead the attack on Tom Sturdivant. The Yankees came back at night to beat 42-year oid Murry Dickson when Andy Carey led off the 12th with a single, stole second, went to third on an error and scored on Elston Howard’s single. Mathews Homers Ed Mathews’ 13th- homer produced a 4-4 tie for the Braves in the seventh and Del Crandall singled home Johnny Logan, in the eighth with the decisive tally. Humberto Robinson won his first 'game for the Braves while Moe Drabowsky lost his sixth decision. Paul Giel walked home the decisive run for the Pirates in the sixth inning after the bases became loaded on a walk, a hit batsman and an error. Raydon, who yielded singles to Daryl Spencer and Orlando Cepeda, struck out five and walked six in posting his first major league victory. Jackie Jensen hit his 15th homer and Sammy White had four straight hits as the Red Sox scored their eighth victory in 11 games. Dave Sisler won his sixth game although Ike Delock shut out the Tigers for the last three and 2-3 innings.

Johnson Wins Third Jim Marshall hit a two-run sec-ond-inning homer and drove in the tie-breaking run in the fifth as Connie Johnson gained his third win for Baltimore. Chico Carrasquel, who went to Kansas City in the deal for Hunter, paced Cleveland’s attack with three singles. Ed Bailey’s two-run homer and Frank Robinson's solo shot paced a Id-hit Cincinnati attack on Vinegar Bend Mizell, Lindy McDaniel and Phil Paine. Lawrence won his fourth game. . 1
