it looks like food, acts like food,
hobs, twists, wobbles and weaveg

the shadows will come up and see
you sometime!"
Weather influences the fishy
palate, too - therefore you must
have a lure in your case that is
convertible in it's motion. If the
fish do not rise to a wobbler, make
simple change in your bait -
and try a spinner! What? Didn't
know there were lures like that?
Well, there are! Weesners "Wee-
eel" is the original spinning or
wobbling feathered minnow. 1t has
positive weed guard and liz
supplied with a spinner and a
wiggle disc which are quickly inter-
changeable - giving you two bats
in one. Pork rind can be used on
either and IL has IL different
color combinations. If your local
dealer doesn't stock the "Weezel,"
drop line to the Fishing Bureau
at 500 High Street, Lima, Ohio, and
they will tell you about 1t.
But whatever you do, study your
fishing conditions and your fish.
That's what makes the difference
between a fisher and a fishermanl
And - it's the fisherman who
brings home the entree!

next? Will it's jump carry it into
your creel, or is it going to twist
its flnny tail derisively and swish
on down the stream to the waiting

depends on your skill, your know

Lack of ability accounts for
some Of the stories about the "big
fish that got away, but another
reason fishermen tramp home with
empty creels and bitter hearts is
their poor judgment in choosing
proper fishing equipment. Many a
glistening lure is a waste of good
money and a headache in the
making!
There's an old adage that, ito

thing is true in fishing. II you
want to catch fish, you must know
more than the fish - and knowing
more than a fish means that you
must understand the "fishy mind"

Bomber Eager To
Stage Comeback

DETROIT - (ANP) - Joseph
Louis Barrow, greatly chastened
and far more serious than when
he trained for his Yankee stadium
bout which resulted in a stunning
defeat at the hands of Max Schmel-
ing, declared last week he wants
to show his friends he still can
fight and is not "gun-shy" as the
result of his knockout.
And while nothing will please
him more than to get in the same
ring again with the methodical
German, Joe is willing to take on
AL Ettore, the Philadelphia white
boy who on the eve Of the Demo
cratic convention for the third
time whipped Leroy Haines, tout
ed in some circle as a better man
even than the Brown Bomber.
Il want to fight again as soon
as possible" Joe said. I'D like
to take on Schmeling. And I'll
never be satisfied until / get in the
same ring with him again. But
l guess I'll have to wait while"
Louis, who is due in Stevensville,

ton and who will soon start train

way.
He's headed for a chance at the
championship, Joe said. 81 know
l wouldn't fight him right back if
l was headed for the champion
ship, and l guess he will fight
Braddock first of ALL"
Joe says he thinks he lost his
easiest fight" although asserting
he took an awful whipping from
Schmeling. ANY man is liable to
go down under a sucker punch"
he said, People may say I'm gun
shy after that beating. l guess
they think I'll take what money l
have and quit the ring. But l

won't. I'll never be satisfied un-
til l win the title. l want another
fight with Schmeling even worse
than l want the title"
If Schmeling won't fight him
again right away, which seems un-
likely, Louis wants to start all
over in Detroit in August. He said
he thought Ettore would be a good
opponent for him to come back on,
particularly as the white boy had
whipped Haynes.
Scotching stories that he had
been doped, was over-confident or
not in condition, Joe said he
trained longer and harder for
this fight than for any of the
others" and did everything 'they
told me to do" but Il got a little
careless and he socked me in the
second round. After that didn't
know anything and l could hardly
keep my eyelids up"

beat out a field of half milers that
included Charles Hornbostel, for
mer Indiana star, to win the 500
meters in 1913 seconds at the

Friday and Saturday. Woodruff,
who violates every rule Of running
by pacing with his head thrown
back almost to heels, is a genuine
threat to better known runners.

speedster, took second in the 100
meters behind the winning time of
Martin Glickman, white, in LOG.
Johnson also won the 200 meters

ID Negro Athletes
Qualify For
Olympics
(By the Associated Negro Press)

By the Associated Negro Press
Fourteen Negro athletes, the
cream of the current athletic crop,
have qualified for the Olympic
trials at Randall Island in New
York on July IL and II, a survey
shows.
Eulace Peacock, Temple univer-
sity speedster and national broad
jump and 100 meter champion, was
eliminated in Cambridge, Mass. Sat.
Still suffering from an injury re-
ceived in the Penn relays, Peacock
was forced to withdraw from both
the 100 and 200 meters dashes and
concentrate on the broad jump.
His best leap of under % feet did
not qualify him. Peacock has done
more than rs feet.
Ed Gordon, Olympic broad jump
champion in 1892, also failed to
come back and did not qualify at
Cambridge. RoZia Singletary,
sprint sensation from st. Angus
tines college, was also eliminated
at Cambridge. Gilbert Cruter,
star high jumper from Colorado u.
who has tied the world indoor re-
cord, fell by the wayside in the
semi-finals at Milwaukee.
Both Peacock and Gordon have
a chance of being selected by the
Olympic committee to compete in
the final trials. Because Of his
record, it was indicated that Pea
cock may be named.
Negro stars qualified prior to
the Saturday competition on three
fronts were Jesse Owens in the 100
meters, 200 meters and broad jump,
and Dave Albritton and Melvin
Walker in the high jump. All
three are Ohio State students.

Alpha Team
Defeat Naciremas
(By LONNY SAUNDERS

Before wildly cheering throng,
the Alpha softball team last Sun
day Inundated the Naciremas, last
year champions of the 'Fratso
Baseball League" with a decisive
victory at Belle Isle. The i'm
preston was left indelibly that TIA
Alpha tean will be the team to
reckon with this year. Although
it was the opening game of the
season, the Alphas were well
rounded in all departments of play.
On attack they unleashed a bar
rage of extra base blows. Particu-
larly effective at bat was their
diminutive left fielder, Daniel
Hayes, who was highly gleeful at
the discomforture that he, among
others, was causing the opposing
pitcher, Eddie Eubanks, to suffer.
The infield composed of Stewart,
first-base; Clark, second; Briscoe,
third; and Bleach, short-stop; was
close to flawless. Bleachs long
run and spectacular catch of a foul
into the crowd, featured.
Nathaniel Leach, Alpha pitcher,
pitched his usual cool and effect
i've game, being especially good
when faced by Eddie Tolan or Will
lis Ward. He caused the latter
to fly out in four successive trips
TO the plate. His complete mas
terry at crucial moments of these
two consistent hitters wrecked the
Naciremas cause.
The victory was the more con-
elusive because it was clinched
despite the forced withdrawal in
the fourth inning of Larry Bleach,
the main cog of the infield.
