NEW YORK, May l.-UPO-
Manager Ossie Bluege of the
Washington Senators modcstly
confined his I943 preseason fore
east TO the prediction that he
might field an aggressive team.
But the Senators today have
exceeded that conservative cSti-
mate to the extent that they
they look like hot bet for the
first division in the American
League.
The Senators have won six OF
nine games thus far and are just
deep breath away from the
American League drivers seat.
At the moment, Bluege appears
to have fine mound staff, Wheth-
er it will continue to perform as
efficiently when the current base
ball gives way to the livelier pellet
remains to be seen. Alex CarraS-
ouel, the Venezuelan, has author
ed two triumphs-one of them a
two-hit shutout. SouthpaW EWald
Pyle. relegated to Toledo last year
by the Browns, seems like hot
find. He made his debut with a
four-hitter against the Yankees,
bowing to Spud Chambers one-hlt
masterpiece, and then came
through with six-hit whiteWash

SEATTLE, May CUP - The
most consistent thing about sport
fishermen are the tall tales they
spin and their ability to guess
wrong.
Invariably they'll predict good
fishing when fishing is worst, and
clear streams when the water is
high and roily. The fact that they
are prone to eXaggerate apparent
ly is a characteristic inborn in the
species.
At any rate, these elements must
have been what prompted the
WrOngest guess Of 1942-that there
would be no fishing, no fishermen,
and nothing to fish with this year
Fishermen, usually optimistic that
the next cast will snag a big fish,
made this doleful prediction on the
basis of last years distinctly un-
roSe-colored prospects
The war production board had
ordered production of fishing tackle
and other outdoor equipment stop
ped. Defense officials, fearful that
some Saboteur would own hatful
of assorted wet and dry flies, and
thus disguised set the woods ablaze,
toyed with the idea of closing down
some of the best fishing spots TO all
persons, whether or not they were
Costumed as anglers.
