Another overnight fishing trip for : the cutthroat in Lake Hasselborg is | on tap today as four Juneau fish- | ermen are preparing their tackle for the short plane hop into the Admir- alty Island lake. The trip, scheduled to be flown this afternoon by Pilot Dean Good- win, is carrying Art Beaudin, Los Bernard, Percy Reynolds and Harry Lucas. There is a VERY good pos- sibility that these fishcrmen will carry sleeping bags. Even the hand trollers aren't get- ting them on the hook at Eagle River so it's quite evident that the kings, big and small, have not start- ed for the landing. Reports come in from Jim O'Neill in Young Bay on Admiralty that the steelheads are swarming in schools near his place . . . but re- ports admit that the fighting fish are not taking anything It is thought that fresh salmon eggs might sharpen their appetite. Walt Blaskowsky and Paul John- son ‘can be put up in the category of fishless fishermen today after returning from Peterson Creek, say- ing that they saw lots of the finny creatures, but that they wouldn’t strike on anything they offered them. It was Women's Day only at Auk Bay Sunday afternoon as the wives of Harold Brown, Bill Byington and Tommy Rudolph made the only catches in the party and the men | came back empty-handed. Mrs. Brown caught her first king as she fought a 23-pounder up to the boat and the gaff. Mrs. Bying- ton landed a 29-pound king and Mrs. Rudolph, a 20-pounder. The | women gave away the secret of the catches when they said they were The on the hook! using 4-ounce sinkers and going deep. Mary Rudolph caught hers when her husband stopped rowing and the herring sank to the bottom. ; ) THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, MAY-6, 1941.

Bunt Balks (yEIanlon PHILADELPHIA, May 6 Cy Blanton came near to equaling Bob Feller's startling opening-day no- hitter of 1940 when Cy held the Bees hitless for seven innings in the 1941 inaugural here. A bunt broke the streak. At that, his four- hitter was the best in the majors. Cy's screw ball is so hard on his arm that he rarely can pitch more than half a season without taking time out to rest.
