Youngster Is Best Prospect Of 1937 Crop

Second ' Baseman Symbolic Of New Policy Concerning Red Sox Acquisitions.

By JOE WILLIAMS

SEBRING, Fla., April 8-—One of | |

the best looking young ball player I have seen this spring is Bobby Doerr who will start the season at second base for the Boston Red Sox. | He seems able to do everything a| second baseman is expected to and | he takes a good cut at the ball. | : The interesting | thing about Mr. Doerr, apart from his robust potentialities, is that he did not come | from the Phil-| |adelphia | A t hletics, or any other mia jor {league outfit, and he did not cost a milion dollars, more or less. He came up from San | Diego, a rookie ball player, purchased for a modest price. i The young man is symbolic of a new business policy in the Red Sox organization, and a somewhat painful reminder of a discarded businest policy that lcost Tom Yawkey more than a million dollars and yielded him approximately nothing in the percentage table ‘of the! American League. Up to a year ago it was the policy of the Red Sox organization to offer so much money for a major leaguer of established class that the holding | owner could not refuse to sell.

LET'S GO FISHING

KE WALTON JR. writes that to date he has been more or less of a bent-pin angler and wants to graduate to casting. What's a good outfit for a beginner, he inquires? : that your first move was to take that bent pin over to the blacksmith and have him weld a barb on it. We’ll pay no attention to him. He's the sort that jerks chairs away when you are about to sit down. 2 Your first casting outfit will cost from about $7.50 clear up into suburban house numbers. Depends on your ability to shell out. For a beginner, rich or poor, we are tempted to. recommend a steel rod. Steel can take it, and until you get the hang of things your first rod will catch more grief than fish.- You'll be whacking it against limbs and stepping on it in boats and until your wife or mother is ‘educated, that pole may even be used to beat carpets. Five to five and one-half feet is the right length, Any shorter is too short, except for trolling. You can get a pretty fr bamboo rod for as little as $5. Go to it if you are prepared to coddle it and keep it out from under the kids’ feet. | > un 4 n " " " E prefer bamboo, even in the cheaper grades. It is more responsive to the lighter lures. Of course, the higher price brackets include the fancy steel rods that many casters prefer to the best bamboo, but we are taking it for granted that you have to take it easy this first time out. If you fish for fun, pick a light rod; one that will handle half ounce and even three-eighths ounce lures. It may mean the loss of a fish or two that you can’t horse away from a snag with the same confidence that you might with heavier tackle, but the added thrills will repay you five to one. If you can't find a really light rod in the lower-price racks, insist on five and one-half feet and the extra inches will add the whip. With a light or whippy rod, pick a light, soft line. Experts say a nine pound test is plenty for Indiana fishing. Twelve pounds is nat too heavy. If you doubt the wisdom of this advice, try casting first with a 24-pound test line; then with one half as heavy. You'll never use a heavy line again except for musky. You can buy a-satisfactory reel for $3, a fair one for $5 and a dandy for $8 or more. Advanced casters may scorn mechanical aids such as level winders and anti-backlashers but you take ’em and be glad you can get ’em. You'll spend more time fishing and less cussing. ” " » n » n

IFTY yards of the light line is plenty. Fill in with cheap, heavy backing until the reel is full to within an-eighth of an inch of the cross braces, but don’t let the line rub. As for baits, a couple of top water plugs, a couple of divers, a couple of weighted spinner and fly combinations and maybe a spoontype lure should provide all the variety you'll need for the first trip. Two or three feet of leader may not help as much as we like to think, but it's a cinch it won't hurt. Use either the natural or the artificial silk gut. It's not a bad idea if the leader tests a pound or so lighter than the line. Better break the leader than the line when you are snagged 50 feet away. If there's a chance you will tangle with a walleye or great northern, use a short wire leader. Those pike teeth are poison to lines and gut. Also to fingers.
