The game played under threaten- ing' and a lot of it throughout a half-hour of drizzling rain, proved as dull and listless as the weather-- with the home club chiefly at fault. It was a tightly-pitched ball game with Graham Clapp limiting the visitors to four scattered singles and still losing: a heart-breaking decision because his mates collected only five hits off Milroy, who appeared to be only an ordinary hurler but at least kept the Skinners' batting power hushed to a mere whisper, : No Earned Runs As it was, the game might easily have gone until darkness because there wasn't an earned run in the 'Skinners "bléw" the game in the setond inning.

What's going to happen now that the Yankee cripples are beginning to round into shape? Old-timers at the University "of Wisconsin recall that back din 1895 $1,000,000 gave Chicago a victory over the Wisconsin team . . . Wis- consin was leading 11-10 at half time, but just as the teams lined up to start the second half, the president of Chicago raced out on the field excitedly waving a tele- gram announcing a $1,000,000 grant to build athletic facilities. The Wisconsin players, who even had to buy their own suits and shoes in those days, were sO over- come by envy (that's the old-tim- ers' version) that they went down by a 22-12 score."

Montreal Boxer Toronto, Sept. 20--(CP)--They call him Eddie Dis-Zastre and with reason, Slim, 175-pound Eddie Zastre of Winnipeg gave away a tremendous 29-pound weight advantage to solidly-built Jack Herman, 204, of Montreal here Monday night and went on to register a knockout in the third reund of the final of the Jack Dempsey - Frank Tunney heavyweight elimination boxing tournament. All outs were three rounds. 'The 24-year-old Zastre, who fail- ed in his bid for a berth on Cane ada's last Olympic boxing team, punched his way through four bouts and 10 rounds to take first prize of $500 in the tournament sponsored by the former world's heavyweight champion and the Toronto fight promoter, Herman collected $250 for his role as a finalist. Close to 10,000 fans gave the smaller - built Winnipegger their whole-hearted support in his David- and-Goliath performance. Zastre ended the bout with two well-timed rights at the 2.45 mark of the third and final round. A total of 16 heavyweights from as far away as Vancouver, stepped into the ring for shots at the final berths eventually gained by Zastre and Herman. Though .the tournament is not likely to point up a Canadian hope for a world champion, it did provide the fans who paid an approximate $18,000 gross gate with their money's worth. It was Herman who racked up the fastest knockout of the night's 168 bouts. The big Montreal fighter kayoed Bill McGee of Kirk- land Lake, in 25 seconds of the first round. Herman scored a T.K.O. over Leo Pietras of Toronto in the semi- final while Zastre and Amos Dorsey of St. Catharines, made a terrific battle of it until Zastre's head- jolting blows paid off with a knock- out at' the 1.40 mark of the second round.

In any case, all agree, the suck- er is "good eating." That, of course, is no secret to older Canadians who can recall their early years when the common sucker formed an important part of the diet of rural Ontario. Dr. F. Fry, one of Canada's out- standing young scientists, learned to fillet fish the hard way. As a youth working his way through school, he worked in a fisn store. So last spring, when it was decided to clean and fillet & mammoth pile of the suckers caught by netting in South Bay Mouth, he was able to instruct his tellow-workers in the fastest and easiest method of removing the bones which made suck- ers unpopular. . / "We Iilleted something e 40 fish an hour, or \about 25 poundsY' Dr. Fry in 1949 ex] t a g_the "The 1illet had to be short, with a good art of the tail of the fish removed ecause it was just about impossible to remove the bones there. On an aver- age, we figured we: got about one pound of edible meat for each five pounds of fish, We are now carrying on ex to d ine some use for the remaining four pounds of in- testines, bones and scales. It may be possible to use them for poultry or animal food." The mullet is regarded as a highly desirable article of food, and recently many Canadians have tried it witnout actually knowing the type of fish it was. 50 iar, all have agreed that it is easlly cooked, highly nutritious and tasty. Many game and Iish associa- tions have urged the Fish and Wild- lite Division or Lanus ahd rorests 10 reinove the muile; from a waters on the ground that it aesiroys game 'Inere isn't much chance, Dr. Fry sald, the consumers will be able wo purchase the new product on the open warket for some months. "The best time to catch mullet is in the early spring when they are on their spawn. lug runs. At tois time of the year too, the flesh is firm and tasty. During the spawning run, it is relatively easy to catch them by the tons. Later, when they are dispersed, the cost would be much too great." This year's catch was distributed to of tl Manitoulin Island and other localities and the last box has now been eaten. "I haven't even got a package of mullet for my own use," Dr, Fry said. "However, when the ice goes out of South Bay Mouth next spring we'll be dishing it out in the dining room at the experimental sta- tion. Our own cook, who objected at first to 'cooking ordinary suckers' has now agreed that the Manitoulin mul- let is 'something new'." GOOD TROUT SEASON Toronto -- Ontario's speckled trout season, Which Clones September 15, has n y ee: 1 g to offi- clals of the [.{ 3 g Fish and Wildlife Division, Ontario Department of Lands and For- ests. And just to lend point to the story, George Mo y and Ken Watts, Toronto radio ists, are proudly dis- playing a "last week-end" catch which inciuded 10 squaretails running from three to five unds. Murray and atts, both well-known fly fishermen, caught their fish at an d spot in Al Park. And they are now convinced that Park rangers are right when they argue that "for big fish use big bait'. They are both fiy-tiers who have always sub- scribed to the belief that the speckled trout is a delicate, hard to stalk fish which is frightened by anything larger than a midge. Last week-end, however, they were told to try something sub- stantial on the Park's voracious square- tails with the result that Murray opened the party by heaving out a home-fashioned bass creation which re- sembled a pair of mice swimming in tandem and sprouting feathers in all directions. . "Only a Murray could have thought of thls one," declared his fishing part- ner, Watts. "Anyway, George threw this monstrosity out of the canoe and the next minute almost dumped the boat when one of the largest fish of the trip smacked into it. ¥or the next couple of hours we had the kind of fishing of which one dreams. I don't know how many fish we lost or how many we released when we realized we were close to our limit catch. "We stayed for two days and al- though we didn't bring out our fuil limit, it was because we already had enough fish to eat." Right through the season, Depart- mental officials say, there were reports of near-record {isn from various sec- tions of the province. One l2-pounder --and the world's record is 1414 pounds --was taken from an Algonquin Park lake early in the season while records of fish welghing from five to seven pounds were 1requent., Kven in the heavily fished Ganaraska River, several Iour-pound fish were taken. Brown trout, introduced to many of the warmer Southern Ontario streams some years ago, are also flourishing, the Department reported, and there were many eight and nine-pound fish taken during the summer, The practice of planting speckled trout as yearling fish serves to reduce the loss through predation, and helps to maintain a& pormal supply of CANNED PICKEREL '!

Big League Baseball Yesterday By WILL GRIMSLEY Associated Press Sports Writer Brooklyn's Ralph 'Branca and Rex Barney have hit their old stride again and the Dodgers' pitch- ing staff appears at peak strength | for the stretch run in the tight National League pennant race. This is discomforting news for St. Louis Cardinals, who saw their lead chopped to 1'z games Monday night and who have a three-game series with the pursuing Dodgers coming up tomorrow. Branca and Barney fashioned notable conquests the les couple of days over Chicago Cubs. Bry turned n one of the best pitched games of the season Mon- day in shutting out the Cubs on one hit, 4-0, He faced only 28 men. The only blow off him was Phil Cavaretta's single opening the is Barney's 8th Win It was his eighth victory against eight defeats but a vital one for the Dodgers. A few hours later the Cardinals ran afoul a couple of Philadelphia rookies and lost to the Phillies, 4-3. This adds new pressure to the Dodger-Cardinal series opening with a day-night doubleheader in St. Louis tomorrow. Shotton announced big Don New- combe will pitch the first one, he said, followed by Preacher Roe and Branca or Barney as starters in the other two. gi Branca, who pitched only 20 in- nings since Aug. 1, showed top form in setting down the Cubs Sunday, 7-1. In the American League the New York Yankees increased. their lead to three full games over the idle Boston Red Sox by trimming Cleve- land, 6-0. Lefty Ed Lopat pitched a five- hitter in shutting out the Indians, recording his 15th victory of the season. Bob Fellers was Cleveland's losing hurler. Toronto Rookies Rookies Jocko Thompson and Ed Sanicki, both recently called up from Toronto, were the Phillies who jolted the Cardinals. Thompson, a 29-year-old lefthander, held the Cards scoreless for six innings and went all the way while giving up 11 safeties. Sanicki, a 22-year-old outfielder, batter in three runs for the Phils, two of them on a homer. In the other National League games, the New York Giants won a 10-inning affair from Pittsburgh, 6-4, and Boston Braves whipped Cincinnati, 6-2. Ralph Kiner hit his 50th home run of the season for the Pirates to become the first player in the National League to hit that mark twice. Kiner poled 51 in 1947.

Sports Writer If there is anything that tries your patience more than the ups, and downs of your performances on the course I'd like to hear about it.- I don't believe there is such a thing. Top prize goes to inconsist- ent golf performances whether or not, you like to admit it. , C At least you'll concede that you've long been searching for successful way of handling these inconsisten- cies. Today you may have a grand round and. tomorrow. a perfectly terrible one. One day your wood clubs behave nicely and your irons are unruly, the next day the situa- tion is reversed. : Golf's ups and downs are mental far more than physical as proved by Snead's performances in losing and winning British and American open tournament during past de- cade, . --Central Press Canadian. * + + You may play most successfully up to the greens only to have poor putting wreck a score. Seldom does everything work together and this lack of completeness is but addi- tional inconsistency. : Where is the answer to be found, on the mental or physical side? Generally on the mental side. This may be hard to believe since it is manifested physically. When yu swing smoothly and successfully you are conscious only of the so-called "feel" of our per- formance. It may not occur to you that you were right mentally long before the. physical performance took place. 4 Sam Snead, on the final day of the 1949 National Open, turned in a mediocre score, was physically the same Snead who, the very next day, turned in scores like 62 and 63 for what he called the best two conse- cutive rounds of his career. Obviously, the change was mental. His attitude toward the. game changed overnight The * point is to realize the eh of con- trolling your mind when you set out to control club and ball. This mental control is of the greatest . importance to those who do not play often and those who are just learning the game. It calls for mental effort but there's no limit to its dividends.
