Haskell Johnston, former Newton High star pitcher and
all-around performer for Stewart baseball teams, has been
discharged from military service and is now playing for
the Livingston team of the Middle Georgia league ... W.
Russell Braden of Covington, owner and manager of the
Superlative Market, is an alternate juror in the Wally
Butts-Saturday Evening Post $lO-million libel suit now
going on in Atlanta . . . The Leo Mallards, on their recent
trip to Seattle, Washirgton, met and talked with Bronko
Nagurski, great Chicago Bear football back. Nagurski owns

Newton County members of the Newton-Henry Colt
League All-Star team which took part in the state tourna
ment last week now have a unique distinction. All five were
members of Coach Ronald Bradley’'s Ram baseball team that
went to the State AA tournament. That makes two state
tourneys in less than three months for Jimmy Wiley, Doug
Bledsoe, Freeman Batchelor, Reuben Whisnante and Tim
Hopkins . . . Golf is one game where the player who hits
the ball most, loses the game . . . Bob Montag, former Crack
er homer hitter, was the manager of the Buckhead Colt
League baseball team that downed our Newton-Henry
nine in the tourney.
Mickey Mantle is way out front in hitting home runs in
a single game both righthanded and lefthanded swinging.
He has accomplished that feat nine times in his career
thus far . .. Here's my solution to a professional football
team for Atlanta. Take the College All-Star squad (any year)
and use them as an entire team. Didn’t the All-Stars down
the Packers this year? ... The Kiwanis Magazine quotes
Lee Embry saying “history is like golf. We repeat the
lessons, and still can’'t seem to stay out of the rough.”
The Green Bay Packers, champions of professional foot
ball in the NFL, were embarrassed Friday night by the
College All-Stars. Not only did they lose the game 20-17, but
they made only 96 yards rushing in the game . . . Bo Con
rad, a 12-year-old youngster from Duluth, Minn. won the
1963 All-American Soap Box Derby at Akron, Ohio Satur
day. Columbus and Atlanta boys came in second and third
in a photo finish.
Georgia Tech and Florida really kept the “foot” in football
when they played a 0-0 tie in 1938. The Yellow Jackets’
“Hawk” Cavette punted 21 times during the afternoon aver
aging 43 vards a kick while Florida’s Bud Walton punted
23 times for a 38.7 average.
SAFETY DRILL — Check your nautical know-how with
the following answers: 1, True. (When two boats approach
at an angle and there is danger of collision, the boat to port
must give way to the boat to starboard). 2. False. (When
overtaking another boat, the right of way belongs to the
boat being overtaken. If your boat is being passed, maintain
the same course and speed). 3. False. (This is a “diver
down"” flag and indicates a diver in the immediate area.
Stay well clear). 4. True. (Engine and propeller should be
completely stopped). 5. False. (All boats must have proper
lighting when under way between sunset and sunrise).
6. False. (The sailboat has the right of way. Therefore, boat
“A" should steer to port).

games to Buckhead in the

tat Chastain Memorial Park
| Thursday and Friday es last
| week. The scores were 2-0 and
| 6-1.
1 In Thursday’'s first tilt the

| led the Buckhead team on even
| terms ‘until the fifth frame
| when the victors scored an un
{earned run on an error by
| Centerfielder Mickey Wilker
{ son. At the time Bobby Eskew
| and Buddy Copeland of Buck
{ head were locked in a pitcher’s
| battle. Buckhead added another
' run in the seventh on two sing
fles and a mixup on Bryant
Mayo's throw to the piate.
!Mayo had the runner, but the
| infield failed to make the play
| at the plate on the cutoff.
| In Friday's game Newton’s
{ Doug Bledsoe was on mound
{and he gave up three home
runs to the heavy hitters of
the Atlanta team. Newton
{ Henry had several opporiuni
| ties to score but weak hitting
| stymied their scoring.
| In Thursday’'s game the only
| Newton-Henry players to gar-
Iner hits off Copeland were
| Tommy Holder, shortstop, and
| Richard Dingler, first baseman.
| Thus Manager Bob Montag's
| Buckhead team now enters the

Fly Fishing |
Not Different
Fly fishing's not difficult.
?Anyone can learn to handle a
ifly rod after a tew practiucl
| sessions in the backyard.
2 But there is more to fooling‘
| a rising fish than just the cast
| lng ‘
l The fishing experts at Mer- |
cury outboards have passed on!
‘a few pointers to help those of
us-who may be-taking our first}
| wobbly steps in the art of fly|
| casting.
! First, you must have a lead
|er that is absolutely free of
| coils and one which will sink
the instant it hits the surface.l
To straighten a leader, pull it|
through a tightly clasped piece |
of rubber cut from a tire in
nertube; in a pinch, draw it
across the sole of your boot.
To make it sink, apply any of
the commercial products made
for the purpose. Graphite,
{available in small tubes for
| lubricating locks and reels,
| will work also.
Dress your dry flies with a
silicone preparation to make
them float. When flies appear
bedraggled frem use, they can|
be restored to full life by hold- |
ing them over the spout of a|
boiling teapot. |
Control your casting ambi- |
tions. Most fish are caught
within a distance of 30 feet
anyway. Accuracy and deli
{ cate presentation are the two
| most important factors in con-
Ining a fish to strike. Be very
gentle in picking up the line,
extremely cautious in laying
it out again. This stealth not
only minimizes the chances of
spooking fish, but it permits
the fly to kiss the water and
float naturally.
Under no circumstances
should the line or fly drag
across the surface. It must float
with the current or wind ac
tion. Sometimes a twitch will
help. This means a quick, easy
movement of only two or three
inches.
Two other points the Mer
cury folks offer. use a floating
line with a dry fly and when
wet fly fishing in shallow wa
ter; use a sinking line when
fishing deep and in swift cur
rents. Generally you'll do best
using tiny midge dry flies or
wet flies, except during hatch
es.
The little things in fishing
make a big difference, parti
cularly where fly tackle is}
concerned. When everything's|
right you'll catch fish. ‘
Here are key tips for catch- |
ing hot-weather bass: During
mid-day in midsummer, look |
for largemouth lunkers to bei
holed up in the cool, deep |
pockets. Fish these pockms‘
slowly, on the bottom, with |
deep-running artificials: if that
fails, use live natural baits such
{as frogs, large minnows or]
i erayfish. Go to topwater plugs |
lor shallow-running plugs when |
the water is cooled by a show-i
ler or night air.—Sports Afield.

FOR THE GALS ONLY |
Women are permanent fix
tures on the fishing scene, and
most guys don't begrudge that
fact. But how welcome they are
depends as much on their choice
of attire as on their ability to| |
cast a plug, a situation you gals| ‘
should heed. ‘
Practicality is the only re- !
quirement of feminine fishing ‘
togs. say the fishin’ fashion au- |
thorities at Mercury outhoards. |
And, while this may limit the |
selection of apparel, it need not |
make a gal unattractive. ’
Certain items are tahoo in a ‘
fishing rig. Skirts and long
coats have a nasty habit of get
{ting in the way. They can trip
Ithe wearer or become adorned
lwith lures at the wrong mo
jment. Recommended substitutes:
Islacks, dungarees, shorts, ber
| mudas or pedal-pushers. |
Canvas sneakers with rubber |
soles give sure footing, dry |
quickly and are quiet inside the|
boat. ‘ {
A snug-fitting windbreaker or
slicker is suggested for chilling| |
winds, cool evenings and those| |
unexpected squalls that may
crop up. A gal should be carefull
of her tresses, too, keeping them,
under control with a non-flut
tering cap that also offers pro
tection from the sun. ;
Personal essentials, including i
a pair of sunglasses, should be
carried aboard in a lady - like
duffel bag, NOT a purse, say
the Mercury folks. Purses-are
unnautical and cunmbersome.
Above all, don't be too obvi
ous in selecting' fishing appatrel. |
Be attractive by being practical, |
and if you don't outfish ‘the |
skipper too often you'll always l
be welcome. o
