miiin* \tirrin’ I the DOPE By VEDDER GAKD lllUQI!l!lil!lllll!IU!llllll!l>!l!l!inillllllllllllimiQli>III!W SHE fishermen have had a bad spring so far, but the fever la In the air. The tackle In most cases has been gone over carefully and all Is in readiness for many enjoyable days this summer. Many know the best spots around Indiana, and because of various circumstances, there are followers of Izaak "Walton, who do not take any fishing trips out of the State. But for those who plan such excursions, and even for those who will find their sport in Hoosier streams and lakes, it will bo Interesting to note what Morris Ackerman, one of the greatest authorities on fish and game, has to say about the best spots to be found. Here’s what Ackerman says about a “bass paradise:’’ “Where Is the greatest bass grounds in the world? Who can answer that question? I can’t, but I’ll tell you where you can catch more small-mouth bass than any jdace I know. It’s at Ixnig I’oint Bay, Tort Rowan, Ontario. “Port Rowan Is directly across Bake Erie from the city of Erie. Pa. You can reach it by railway, power boat or motor road, via Buffalo or Detroit. It’s easy to get to and out of. SEASON OPENS JUNE 10 “Outside of bass fishing the surroundings are not particularly attractive —but the bass are there. The season opens on June 16 and the dally creel limit is eight fish. That’s where the rub comes. “Long Point bass run small In the main. I mean from threequarters of a pound to two pounds. “Most of the fishing is done there with natural bait. For that reason It does not appeal to the bait and fly caster.’’ But if you are a bait and fly caster, Ackerman also has picked out the spot for you. Can you imagine a country blessed with hundreds of livers and lakes in which there are no fish but those that will rise to a fly? It sounds like a fairy tale, but Ackerman says that Newfoundland is that country. Now don’t get scared. It is not inaccessible. Os course,-you can’t get the flivver out and spin over to the finny ones’ home, but if you have a little time and some money saved up for a grand fishing spree, the trip will not be difficult. HOW TO GET THERE Newfoundland is easily reached from northern Novia Scotia by a few hours steamer trip; also from Boston by steamer. The season Is open from the time ice leaves until the middle of September. Ackerman speaks aa follows about this wonderland: “Brook trout and Atlantic salmon. That’s all! Imagine It! “No catfish, carp or ling, perch, chub or bullheads. The trout that migrates to the sea—‘sea trout,’ the non-migrating trout, the migrating Atlantic salmon and his dynamic little non-mitgrating brother, the ouananiche, or landlocked salmon. “If you get a thrill from catching trout and salmon on light tackle, in accordance with the very way you want to catch ’em, go to the Newfoundland, north, east, south or west. The most renowned stream is the Humber, but most any will be famous to you after fishing it awhile.” Now, we wonder If there are any Indianapolis fisherman who have tried these spots, or any who have planned such a trip this summer? Let us hear from you. "We’ll just check up on Mr. Ackerman. * * • Beware, Injuns! The Kansas City Blues downed the Chicago Cubs, Thursday, 6 to 2. • * * Will those New York Yankees ever stop crashing that pill? Fifteen hits Thursday against Brooklyn—score, 14 to 4. * * * It Ls too bad about those old men on the Washington club. They beat the New York Giants Thursday, 7 to 0.

Pirates, Giants and Cards Stand Out as Class of Older Circuit. By Billy Evans Three clubs, Pittsburgh, New York arul St. Louis, stand out as the class of the National League. One of these three teams should ■win the penn;int in that organization. Tho other five clubs In the National League are not weaklings by any means. On the whole, the strength ls pretty well distributee!, which makes me think the race in tho senior league will be a spirited one. Pittsburgh is a great ball team. That was demonstrated in the world series. At third and shortstop two of the most brilliant players In the game, Traynor and Wright, make that section of the Pirate infield very strong. While the other side of the Infield, first and second, ls not so strongly fortified, it is still very capable. There Is more of a question about second than first. Respect Giants Every National League manager has a wholesome respect for New York, managed bj John McOraw. The Giants failed to go over last season after being picked to win a fifth straight pennant. It ls doubtful If any major league club ever encountered more hard luck from beginning to the end of the season. Added to a long list of injuries and Illness, New York’s pitching last year was just fair. This year It is certain to bo much improved. That should help. It ls Just possible that Rogers Ilornsby and his St. Louis Cardinals will upset the National League dope. The Cardinals have much power and great spirit. If the Cardinals get good pitching they will be a strong factor In the race. The pitching is a big question. Braves Well Balanced The Boston Braves should win a lot of ball games this summer and throw any number of Jolts Into the hopes of tho various pennant contenders. It is a well balanced ball club, having no big stars except Manager Bancroft at short, but It plays smart baseball and when it gets good pitching must be feared. The unsettled condition of the Brooklyn infield may keep that team from being as high in the race as Its pitching and batting punch figure. No club fn the National League should get better pitching than tho Cincinnati Reds. The shortstop problem, however, may handicap tho pennant chances of the Reds considerably. Pipp has helped the team at first. Anywhere In the first division ls a Cincinnati possibility. While both the Phillies and the Cubs look stronger than last year neither Is figured to make any noises that sound like pennant. STATE NORMAL OUTLOOK Hu Timet Special TERRE HAUTE, Ind., April 9. Optimism concerning the State Normal baseball team for 1926 ls running none too high in the early-seo-son work-outs. Only four letter men answered the call that was sounded several weeks E go. Tho infield is perhaps tho best sot of any of the various departments. Eder Is the only regular to return for an outfield position. Indiana Dental College ls scheduled to open the season hero Saturday. PURDUE WINS Hu Timet Special LAFAYETTE, Ind., April 9.—Purdue defeated De Pauw here Thursday, 13 to 8, on the baseball diamond in a seven-inning affair. Boilermakers hit hard. The clubs agreed to stage another contest today. Wise and Ware of Purdue hit homers. Purduo plays Northwestern here Saturday In the opening Big Ten game.

Izaak Probably Turned Over / United Press CHICAGO, April 9.-—After the stormiest meeting jver experienced by the Izaak Walton League of America, Will H. Dllg, president, and the man who founded the organization, has been deposed as temporary and permanent chairman of the fourth annual convention. Charges of gross mismanagement of tho organization and of attempts to “ruin the league’’ were back of the organized move to depose Dilg. A heated argument came up over Dllg’s traveling expense account. Dilg maintained that the president’s large expense account was made necessary because of numerous trips to Washington in the interest of legislation backed by the league. The body took matters into Its own hands and amended the by-laws so that it was possible to appoint Dr. Henry Baldwin Ward, professor of zoology at tlie University of Illinois, as temporary vico president. Clark Venable, Chicago, was later voted permanent chairman of tho convention. The meeting will close Saturday with the election of officers. Dilg ls a candidate for re-election, but his defeat in the first session is regarded as almost a death blow for him.

TRIBE TO FINISH SPRING TRAINING IN OKLAHOMA Three Exhibition Games Scheduled Before Season Opener at Kansas City Tuesday—Schemanske in Hospital. • By Eddie Ash Times Sports Editor OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., April 9.—After fifteen hours aboard a Rockie Island “rattler” the Indian pastimery of Indianapolis reached Oklahoma City early this morning and hustled to the Skirvin Hotel, where Iloosier baseball headquarters "will be established for three days. Ownie Bush’s athletes took their final practice in Hot Springs Thursday and departed from the Arkansas training camp about mid-afternoon.

The Bushmen were to tangle with the Oklahoma City team of the Western League this afternoon in the first battle of a threo-game exhibition series. Bill Burwell and Carl Ray were slated for Tribe mound duty today. Owing to the fact Eddie Alnsmith is still in poor condition to get in and work behind the plate. Manager Bush brought along Catcher Stedman, the Chicago semi-pro, to help warm up pitchers and to be ready to relieve Florence. It is likely Stedman will be retained with the Indians through tho opening series at Kansas City and maybe for the Milwaukee series also. Catching Situation The catching situation is Manager Bush’s heaviest worry as the league opening with tho Blues approaches. Alnsmith Is ablo to work behind the plate but he ls unable to throw beyond the pitcher. He says he needs about one more week before trying to throw to bases. Outfielders Matthews and Russell were on the sick list Thursday and did not participate In the Indians’ closing drill at Hot Springs. They are under the weather with severe colds. Games will be staged in Oklahoma City today, Saturday and Sunday. On Sunday night the Hoosiers will depart for Kansas Ci.y, work out in the K. C. perk Monday, and then tangle with the Blues, Tuesday, h, the American Association lid lifter.
