Chip WASHINGTON Sports Columnist COMMISSIONER HONORED The best laid plans of mice and men invariably go astray as Richard Goodroe. Junior League Baseball Com missioner learned Monday night dur ing pre-season ceremonies. Retiring Commissioner “Skeet” Chapman was to be brought to Tolleson Field lor presentation of an award but for some undisclosed reason he didn’t make it. Richard presented a plaque to “Rubber” Pierce, one of Skeet’s many friends. The plaque was inscribed with these words: Presented to “Skeet” Chapman For His Dedication, Humility and Untiring Work as Com missioner of Perry Junior League Baseball. These words were few but to the point and written with a great deal of sincerity, “Skeet” of course isn’t one for flowery words or for making gross over anything he has done. His satisfaction has come from seeing the boys who have played ball in the Jun ior League Program turn out to be a credit to themselves and to those about them. In reflecting back over the years I remember that just before each sea son began several managers decided to call it quits but they decided to stay just one more year because “Skeet” requested that they give it another try. Managers have away of jawing back and forth but you could always depend on the commissioner to nudge our efforts in the right direction. It was through “Skeet’s" leader ship that the Junior League Baseball Program got off the ground each year and its success is directly attributed to his creative work and interest. A collective thanks goes to “Skeet” for a job well done. PCC EVENTS Two major golfing events will be featured at the Perry Country Club J - ■ MMLMMMI 1 |pl Outdoors I .; WITH TOM DANIEL ■ 1M m H ■ Hk. 7 Wm ■ Mi H Fishing is at its peak and will remain good for the next few weeks. This is es pecially true as long as the nights continue to be cool and the days bright and sun ny. Most everyone that I have talked to lately who has been fishing, whether in a small pond or one of the large reservoirs, has had some luck with most of them reporting good catches. Bream and bass are feeding on top and can be taken on top waterlures. If you have never caught fish on top water you owe yourself the treat of trying it. An old fishing partner of mine that used to fish at least 360 days a year if not more used a long cane pole with a monifiliment line the length of the pole and a bream bug tied on. If you don’t want to invest in a fly rod this type rig will work. The secret is to use it either early or late so that the bream bed or the shore can be reached without scar ing the fish off. Then one tlips the bream bug up close to the shore or on top of the bed and waits for the action. Usually the bug will not get on the water good before you get a strike, but if not, then allow the bug to remain motionless until the ripples made by the bug hitting the water have dissappeared and then give the bug a slight twitching jerk. This should be repeated several times and if no action then move along the shore. I have read and heard many a tale about being able to locate a bream bed by smell and without a doubt one can smell bream when they are bedding and also carp, crappie, etc. The best way to locate bream beds is by observing the shallow areas around the pond. One should look for unusual ac tivity on the top or the beds during this month. The first event will be the Annual Four Ball Invitational Tournament on Sunday, June 21. Club Pro Wiltz Bernard states that the field will be limited to 40 teams and that the entry fee Will be $25.00 per team. A luncheon will be provided. Wiltz « has received over 20 entries including one from last year’s winner, Eddie Wiggins and David Potts of Warner Robins. The deadline for entering is June 17. The second event is a Pro-Junior Tournament which will be held on the 25th of June. To qualify, juniors must be 12 to 19 years of age and have a maximum-usuable handicaps of 24. Entrance fee is $5.00 per junior and sls for pros. In the individual pro event, each team will include 3 juniors. The pro may enter as many teams as he wish es for one entry fee. June will be a busy month at the Perry Country Club with these two top notch events drawing many excellent golfers from all over Georgia. SORRY BOUT THAT Three weeks ago I wrote an article about a housewife who had taken up the game of golf with such gusto that her family is now eating cold chop suey at their evening meals. To add humor, 1 jokingly mentioned that she was using a rolling pin for a golf club. The only humor 1 received from this article was before it appeared in print. Since then I have received noth ing but, “how could you be so nasty?” Lady goiters it seems don’t want any one dabbling in their game and have frankly told me that its their only es cape irom the hum-drum of daily housekeeping. Lady golfers do take their game seriously and irom my observations they are quite good. I certainly didn’t mean to step on any toes; it’s just that frozen dinners and baby sitting is a high price to pay tor a wife’s pleasure, _ that fish fan in the shallow waters. A minimum size limit of 15 inches and a creel limit of 5 fish per day on striped bass has been announced by George T. Bagby, Director of the Georgia Game anti Fish Commission. The size limit is designed to protect the striper populaton by re stricting the harvesting of immature fish. The stripers also known as rockfish, are originally salt water dwellers which have proven themselves adaptable to fresh water in experimen tal stockings. Stocked in five Georga lakes, these fish may attain weights of 20 to 30 pounds within the next few years if the populations be come well established. The minimum size rule will help in this regard as it will pro tect the juvenile fish and keep the stock from being depleted. The striped bass should not be confused with its cou sin the white bass, a popular panfish already well estab lished in m any Georgia lakes. The fish are similar in appearance and the white bass fisherman should check his catch carefully to make sure he isn’t stringing un dersized stripers. A close examination will reveal the telltale differences between the species. The striped bass has a long, racy body pro file, while the white bass is somewhat stubby, and rath er broad in relation to its length. Both fish have dark lines running the length of their bodies, but the strip er’s lines are distinct and unbroken. On the white bass the lines are faint, and they are segmented above the la teral line. The striped bass should provide Georgia fish ermen with a tremendous new sport fish if they are allowed to gain a toehold in the state.
