Lake Fishing

Experienced fis h e r m n
throughout the state have been
making hay while the sun
tdoesn't) shine" and officials of
the Ohio Division of Conserva-
ton and Natural Resources re-
gard it as timely tip. They
urge fishermen to take advan-
tage of the low water tempera-
lures while they last. When the
heat of summer sun warns the
waters of lakes and streams fish
retire to the cool depths and are
not so easily enticed to take the
lure of bait.
Field men of the Division are
reporting fair to excellent fish
ing in state lakes, following the
reopening of the black bass sea-
son on June 16 in most of the
state. The hunger and fighting
qualities displayed by the bass
during good weather in March
this year is being carried over
with good catches being reported
from most sections.

Proceeds from the big athletic
affair sponsored by Local IL,
will be given to the Veterans
Committee to be used for the rex
habilitation of the returning vetN
erans of Uncle Sans fighting
forces. This is the first baseball
game from which the proceeds
were donated for this purpose.
The main event on the en-
tertainment program was a
talk given by Richard Gosser,
Director of Region 2-B, who was
introduced to the crowd by Mel
vim Schultz, president of Local
IL. Pretz Russell, master of
ceremonies, introduced Thomas
Burke, Local II vice-president
and city councilman and also
Richard Lazette, president of
the Toledo Industrial Union
Council. An appreciation gift
was presented by Brother Cos
ser to Eddie Ignasiak, Toledo
Mud Hen first baseman and
member of the WHY'S Overland
Unit of Local II.
There were several speSE
tacular plays during the game,
both by the Mud Hens and the
Indians, but the prospects of a
close, wellplayed game were
spoiled when the Hens became
erratic in fielding the ball and
made a loosely played contest
out of it. The pitching was good
for both teams and the hitting
was fair, but errors in the cru.
cial stages of the game spelled
defeat for Toledo.
The UAW-CIO Future Fans
Club was formed Tuesday nigk.,
when nearly 1000 free tickets
were passed out to the kids by
Brothers Gosser and Schultz. 1t
is planned to have Local IL be
host to that many youngsters
at the UAW- -CIO baseball gams,
which will be held annually. The
kiddies were given 1000 bags of
peanuts and a, like number of
paper horns.

BY GEORGE I. DILLON

Amateur and professional football players throughout the universe will enter games in the postwar era carrying eight to 10 pounds less gear that will undoubtedly in- crease the speed of each performer and incidentally of the game as well.
 Grid pants and stockings, for merly made from cotton materials, will be manufactured from rayon, nylon, rubber and spun glass. Shoes will be made from synthetics and will be lighter, tougher and cheap CT than leather shoes, now pre- dominant.
 Jerseys and other knitted gar- ments now made of wool will be made of wood and soy bean yarns and will not crease, wrinkle, crack or shrink, affording much longer wear than wool. Pads will be made from synthetic foam rubber where felt was formerly used.
 Football bladders will hold air longer in the postwar period for they will be made of butyl, resulting in their being inflated less fre- quently.
 A forecast of what the postwar athlete will wear and use after the bugs have been removed, are listed below by Alex Taylor of the Alex Taylor & Co of New York city:

Lohrmon, Former Giant, Dodger To Face Brosscos

The Brasscos will be seeking their 18th victory in IS starts tomorrow evening when they stack up against the strong Newburgh, N. Y. All- Stars at 8:45 under the lights at the Municipal Stadium.
 The locals, beaten only by Lefty Johnny Pezzullo. former Brooklyn Dodger finger, will be facing an- other ex-Dodger moundsman, Bill Lohrman when they take on the New York Staters. Lohrman, who was with the Flatbush club when he was inducted into the service at the close of the 1943 season also served with the New York Giants and the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1912. his best season, he was with the Giants and the Cards and between the two clubs he scored IA triumphs as against five setbacks and boast ed an earned run average of PAT which was close to the top of the league.
 Definite
 Mgr. Davi announced last night that Lohrn1an would definitely pitch against the Brasscos. The locals booked the Freeport, L. I. club here a week ago and Al Zachary, former Dodger ace, was listed to pitch. However, the big right handler hurled the night be- fore in New York and saw service here only in the outfield. Davi stat ed last night that he informed the Newburgh club that Lohrman would definitely have to pitch here as part of the contract and the club readily agreed. Ted Grabeck is expected to be on the hill for the Brasscos with Warren Mueller and Johnny Taylor being held in reserve for Friday and Saturday when the Brooklyn Bush wicks and the New London Sub Base furnish the locals the opposi- ton.

CoIenon Blamed
 For Close Losses

Boston, July 31.-(UP)-Failure of the Boston Braves to win close games was cited today as the princi- pal reason for the resignation of Manager Bog Coleman.
 Although the management ex- pressed regret yesterday at his de- cision to quit, and said that he fit- ted into the teams post war picture as a scout or front office aide. 1t was established that there was dis- satisfaction with the teams spirit less showing.
 Coleman. as third base coach. was blamed for many of the close defeats. Also mentioned as con- tributing factor was the report of trouble among the players. five of whom have been fined for breaking training rules.
 It was understood that Coleman was on his way out after the teams disastrous western trip in June. but the Braves returned home and put on a spurt. winning three from the Cardinals and four out of five from the Pirates. Since then they have been unable to win consistently de- spite numerous lineup changes.
 The new manager. Del Bissonette, former Brooklyn first baseman who has been Q Boston coach. took over the reins yesterday.

Braves Stuno By Breodon On "A. Cooper
BY WILLIAM J. TUCKER

Unlted PfeSS Staff correspondent
 New York, July 31-(UP)-The peculiar genius of the St. Louis Cardinals in disposing of a big-name player at a fat profit before he be- comes liability fingered on after Branch Hickey departed for Brook lyn and pitcher Mort Cooper today provided the case in point.
 Over period of 10 years; the Card front office presided over by Sam Breadon has ignored sentiment and the howls of the fans to peddle the teams illustrious talent at fancy figures totalling close to $500 900, not to mention the players obtained in exchange. And more often than not, the purchasing club has found itself stuck with dead-arm pitch CT or a slugger who all of a sudden starts clouting sunspots instead of the ball.
 It was in this pattern that big Mort, who in three seasons had stamped himself undisputed king of the National League hurlers, was sold down the league to Boston two months ago. The reason obstensibly was the salary dispute over which Cooper quit the Cards cold earlier in the season. But such rifts have often been settled by less drastic measures, even by the Cardinals.
 In exchange, the St. Louis receiv- ed $50,000 cash and the services of work horse pitcher named Char ley (ReO Barrett whose big league record was strictly run of the mine.
 Barrett with the Cards has been a minor sensation, winning Il games | and losing five to become the main- stay of mound staff that otherwise is pretty well shot with sore arms. On the other hand, things started happening to Cooper that were all too reminiscent of the cases of Diz- zy Dean, Joe Medwick and Johnny Mize, among other Cardinals who preceded him on the unhappy down. grade from stardom in St. Louis.
 He won his first four starts as Brave but then started complaining of a sore arm and was resoundingly clubbed in his next several starts. Manager Bob Coleman began giving him five and six days rest between games and big Mort managed to get three more wins on his record but the powerful right arm that | whipped through 21 victories last season grew mysteriously weaker. Finally, Cooper had to leave the club and consult with the dean of baseball headers, Dr. Robert F. Hy- land of St. Louis. His verdict: Cooper has a piece of gristle float ing around in his elbow, must un- dergo an operation in the fall and meantime can only work in relief roles.
 As a $50,0O0 investment, big Mort thus has paid off very little and the Braves are definitely stung on his prospects for the immediate fu- ture. After an arm operation, it us- lally takes a long period of rest and workouts before pitcher can regain his form. And at 31, Cooper is getting along for player fac ing the competition of the crop of youth that soon will surge back into the game.
 If it's any consolation for him while he's sitting on the bench waiting for the signal to go to the Braves bull-pen, Cooper can turn to the man at his left-Joe Medwick, ex-terror of the St. Louis Gas House Gang, ex-Brooklyn Dodger, ex-New York Giant and now a pinch-hitter for the woebegon Bostons.
