Yes, the dept. of fisheries may have decreed that the spotlight was on trout for the day. But as far as local anglers were con- cerned, all the trout that were hooked could easily have been packed into the beam of a pencil flashlight. The Davis crew, aug- mented by five Toronto enthus- fasts, pulled in but three speck- les, while Ken Watts, fishing in the same area, took one solitary brown trout as a reward for his efforts. Late spring. and cold water-- there were even odd ice cakes floating about up country--were blamed for the slim catch. Even worm dunkers, who generally have the edge on fly fishermen in early season, were shaking thelr heads dolefully. It was plenty cold, all right--although not quite as bad as' in the Port Hope sector, where the waters were so frigid that trout were reported to be jumping out onto the bank to sun themselves. "The anglers had high water as well as cold and ice to con- tend with," commented game warden Dudley Hitchcox. "There were a lot out, but they didn't do too well." "But theres lots of time for good fishing yet," he went on, in more optimistic "We putting from fifteen to twenty thousand smal fry county streams this -- season, the vein. are in and Shivering Anglers' Lures out Scorn Town's Minor Loops Going Big League Competition in the active min- or ball loops, which will get un- der way about May 15, will have a distinctly big league flavour this year, it was revealed this week as Larry Wilson and Bud Corbett completed plans for a new sponsorship scheme. In future, bantam, peewee and minor peewee groups will operate similarly to the major league farm system, with each sponsor handling a three-team "chain" of clubs. Thus, each young play- er will perform for the one spon- sor during his 9 to 14 minor career, starting out in the bush leagues and working up to major league play when he reaches bantam age. For instance, Oakville Rotar- fans will sponsor the bantam Phillies, the peewee Toronto & Leafs and the minor peewee Ut- ica teams, Next year, some Utica lads will move up for trials with the Leafs, while at the same time, Leaf hopefuls will go up to the Phillies. Corbett is convinced that thi m will promote greater interest on the part of the youngsters, who will also re- main in the same coaching setup and thereby benefit from a play- ing standpoint. Lakeshore Cleaners will spon- sor bantam Yankees, peewee Kansas City Blues, and minor peewee Binghampton while Oakville Optimists take over the Dodger chain, which includes Montreal Royals and Hollywood Stars. Oakville Dairy has taken over controlling interest in St. Louis Cards, Rochester Red Wings and Houston In addition to the above clubs, Clarkson will enter two bantam teams sponsored by Nixon Drugs and Clarkson Basket Co. a pee- wee group sponsored by Brown's bY fishing should be good."

S On Bridge Kitty TEEN TOWN BY KAREN PECK (Again career night at the high ool was a big success. There was a wide range of subjects and each and everyone of the parents and students atending heard just the speaker they wanted too. The speakers, coming from Oak- ville and the surrounding district gave the students a very fine outline of the occupations they were Interested in and I'm sure [ have helped many of us to plan our vocation. Teen Town's bursting walls last Friday night were a joy to see and 7- meant only one thing, that there was a large crowd and everybody was having fun |' Which was true, I might add. There will be no Teen Town | this Friday night though, as the Lions Club is holding its annual Hobby Show. Get out and enter your pride and joy kids. You're bound to win a prize. On Saturday night Barb Tay- for entertained a few of her friends with a game of bridge at her home. As it turned out the Weather Keeps Don's Diamond Candidates Strictly Under Wraps An unco-operative weather man who has mixed a discour- aging menu of cold main course and damp' desserts has steadfast- | ly hindered spring (?) training sessions of the town's ball clubs to date. Week-end practices of the Oaks drew only a corporal guard, while minor loop school periods called by Bud Corbett suffered similarly. Only club to make any notice- able headway was the juvenile squad, which will play in the Halton County loop and take part in a series of exhibition tilts with the New Toronto town lea- gue clubs. Some 20 candidates turned out Sunday afternoon to run through their paces, dispel- ling some of Corbett's earlier gloom at seeing four of his last year's stars jump up to inter- mediate ranks. Holdovers from the 1949 club included catcher Tom "Silent" Sale, pitchers Wilf Herbert and Ted Pilgrim, secondsacker Don Rutledge, outfielder Jim John- ston and first baseman Grant Redshaw. Bruce Thomas, Gary Hughes, Jim Redshaw, Don Lush, Dennis Camm and Jimmy Withnell were all out trying for berths, while Bud also plans to use bantam chucker Mel Medland in juve exhibition clashes. Plans to run the Oaks through an exhibition game Saturday were shelved by the weather, but both intermediates and juves will be out for practice again.
