lead held by Spicer to win SIS to

Is ringers led both teams. Some
of his points scored in the last

the difference between victory
and defeat. Bill Holewinski's ID

enough to hold the lead.
In the other games, National
Supply, who scored one of the
major upsets of the season last
week when they defeated Spicer,
just didn't have enough on the
ball to overcome a determined

Mark Those
Fishing Holes

LANSING - open fishing
holes can result in dunking or
more serious mishaps, the con-
servation department cautions
fishermen.
When fresh snow covers aban-
doned cuttings, especially on
more extensively used southern
Michigan lakes, the winter ang-
ler will find it difficult to de-
tect weak ice.
Winter fishermen also should
be on the alert for thin crusts
which form after commercial ice
harvesters have finished work.
Good practice is to place a
marker in hole when abandon
ed. Large stick would serve the
purpose if placed in the hole so
that it shows above the snow.

Casters Using
Liqhfer Reels

During the past three years
Skish target casting has grown
rapidly. Much of this growth
can be credited to fishermen
who are interested in learning
better casting as an aid to better
fishing. Due to a lack of fish to-
day, we must be a better caster,
and to be a better caster we
must have better equipment,
Through Skish many fishermeC
have learned the finer points 4
casting as we'll as the technicali-
ties involved in buying proper
equipment. Through the Skish-
ermen many anglers have learn
ed the value of these faster
starting easier controlled reels.
To compete with these target
casters one must have equip
ment that rates on a par with
the best. When we refer to the
best we do not mean the highest
priced. The best reels made to-
day for bass fishing and target
casting under the rules of the
National Skish Board are far
from what we may call expen-
sive. In fact, the price range of
the light weight reels falls in
the lower brackets.
Fishermen a nd Skishermep
wishing to make long casts car.
do so with these light reels and
do it far better than with any
other type. Even the youngsters
using these reels have made
casts beyond measured 200
foot mark. Not with what may
be called tournament line, but
with one suitable for, actuai
fishing. The National tourna-
ment record for men being 232
feet, more than three times the
distance NEEDED for general fish
ing. Yet this record was made
with stock reel that is avail
able at moderate price.

base job, held down capably last
season by Mickey Vernon, a six

Suffering
For PickereI

If properly practiced, skitter-
ing is very productive, and you
can use an ordinary bamboo
cane pole effectively. A piece
of stout line is attached to the
top, and it should be IS feet or
more if your pole is about IL
or ID feet in length. The best
lure is spinner, and attached
to the hook there should be a
piece of pork rind, perch or
pickerel belly, cut in the form
of a triangle. The pectoral fins
of perch with a strip of belly
left on is a good skittering bait.
Cast your lure in the same way
you would cast fly or any
other lure, along the edge of
weed beds or lily pads. BY NOV
ing the pole in short jerks you
can give life-like movement
to. the lure that will attract the
fish.

Two of this elite figure are
members of the Toledo team
and considered excellent pos
sibilities for bringing tn e
city its first national Golden
Gloves Championship.
The pair, Pies Gilmore and
Jesse Brown, must win two fights
tonight to accomplish the feat.
Gilmore, clever moving feather
weight, is making his first Chi
cago appearance this year. The
savage punching Brown was a
member of the Toledo squad last
year but did not reach the finals.
Brown pulled the upset of the
tournament when he defeated
Wesbury Bascom of st. Louis.
Bascom won the light heavy
weight title last year and was
a top-hesvy favorite to repeat.
AT THIS WRITING the To-
n ledo team is in fifth place
in the tournament with Is vic
tories. Wins by Gilmore and
Brown tonight could make the
squad a contender for tie m
honors.
This year, as in the past, the
local team put on a great show
In Chicago. None of the eight
Toledo boys lost an opening
bout. Quite remarkable when
you consider these fighters are
all area or district champions.
A few more breaks and the
Toledo team could have had at
least four members in the cham
pionship finals tonight. Many
ringside observers believed Car
man Williamson, local flywepght,
would have won the title if he
hadn't suffered an eye injury.
At any rate the Toledo boys
proved that local amateur box
ing Is on the par or better than
any In the country.

FRESHMAN ROOKIE
SAM JETHROE
Every spring dozens of bright
prospects make their appearance
in big league training camps.
Among these young hopefuls is
Sam Jethroe who is tabled as
most likely to succeed. He was
purchased by the Boston Braves
who gave the Montreal club ap-
proximately 100000 for his
services. Since Montreal is own
ed by the Brooklyn club, the
experts are inclined to question
the wisdom of the Dodgers in
trading off their prize farm
hand. Or they might believe
that Sam is not as good as his
press notices indicate. But inter
national League observers insist
that Sam is re d y for the
M jors. He takes into the
Majors a batting average of
1928, but his greatest assest is
his speed. Jethroe negotiated SO
thefts last season. He defeated
Barney Ewell last spring in a
rs yard dash. Barney you will

val orientation, and allied naval
sciences for two summers. Upon
completion of the two summer
courses and graduation from their
respective colleges, the candidates
are commissioned Ensigns in the
U. S. Naval Reserve. This is the
second summer that young Perry
has attended the Reserve Officer
