B2 Thursday. June 18, 1992 THE PRESS-TRIBUNE Sports Limited dates scheduled for '92 pig hunting Outdoors lunker also taken. Chicken liver, night crawlers, and hotdogs all work great. CAMP FAR WEST Some stripers boiling. Use Zara Spooks or Rat-L-Traps from the edge.

Lot of undersized bass with a few keepers. A 7)4 pounder taken at night. Crappie are about nonexistent; lots of cats, most at night, and good high in the Bear River arm. Stripers beginning to boil. Zara Spooks or Rat-L-Traps will work best in the boils.

Black bass is spotty with a ton of shakers to be taken. A pounder, though, was taken at night. EAGLE LAKE Rated just under great. Everybody uses 'crawlers for trout. On shore, near Eagle's Nest is the spot; trollers haul the gear from just below Pelican Point to the south end to either Wildcat or to Eagle's Nest.

George deVilbiss' outdoors column appears alternate Thursdays in The Press-Tribune. makers. A couple of trout still biting at Lake Natoma but bite drops off fairly early. Most of those taken are recent holdover planters, but it keeps the rod bending. ROLLINS LAKE Those working off the bank around the dam are stringing up trout, Power Bait or a night crawler with a marshmallow has been the enticer.

Trollers hit the high end of the Bear River arm in the 5 mph area with frog-colored Needlefish or a silver and blue Kastmaster to score. Tons of undersized bass with an occasional keeper. Anything in white or chartreuse, leadheaded worms, or grubs are all working. Catching 30 fish is nothing uncommon but only a couple will be keeper size. Greenhorn is best on catfish with the bite starting at midnight.

Average is about 314 pounds; an ll' pounder the required ten years you must wait for a second buck drawing. Competition for the elk and sheep tags is stiff, but your chances are zero if you don't apply at all. In some hunting areas, the bull to cow ratio is great, like 95 bulls to every 100 cows. Applications for the special tags are included as part of this year's hunting regulations booklet, available at your favorite sporting goods store. You must purchase your hunting license prior to mailing the application as that application must include the current-year hunting license number.

FISHING CONDITIONS FOLSOM LAKE At most, there's some bass catching, but not much more. Early morning and late afternoons better than any other. Deep running crankbaits are scoring; some splitshot-ting of worms also take bass. Just before dark, try some topwater noise By GEORGE deVILBISS Special to The Press-Tribune June 27-28 and July 11-12 are the only available weekends for pig hunting on the Joice Island unit of the Grizzly Island Wildlife Area in Solano County's Suisun Marsh. Hunting is limited-entry and by permit only.

Only two hunters will be allowed into the unit each day for a total of eight hunters. Apply by mail to get in on the drawing. There is no fee. Each successful hunting permit holder may bring a non-hunting partner. Only shotguns using slugs will be allowed in this flatland area.

Because this is a marsh area with thick cattails, tules, and brush, dogs may be used. To apply, mail a standard-sized post card to Joice Island Pig Hunt, California Department of Fish and Game, P.O. Box 47, Yountville, CA 94599. Include on the card the following: name, address, telephone number, hunting license number and one of the four hunt dates. Only one application per person is allowed.

Only successfully drawn applicants will be mailed maps and additional information regarding the hunts along with their permits. DEADLINE NEARS June 29 is the deadline for applying for any of the state's special elk, antelope or sheep hunts. Applications must be received by the DFG by 5 p.m. on that date. Anything received after that date will not be considered in the drawing.

Odds for being drawn for any of the antelope hunts have never been better. If you've been drawn in the past an you want a doe tag, you do not have to wait Scoreboard 3 American League Esst Division Pet. GB Toronto 40 25 .615 Baltimore 38 26 .594 17i Milwaukee 33 23 .532 5'.

Brinkman. 2:41. A 27.881. McElroy (Continued from Page Bl) weekends a year. "The longest time I didn't ride was a eight weeks after I had my spleen taken out last January," said McElroy.

The layoff didn't hurt him too badly. He's currently ranked No.l in his division, having accumulated more points than any other Northern California Pro rider. He managed that by winning the 250cc class and taking second in the 125cc pro class during the Continental Motorcycle Club's spring series. He recently competed in the Hangtown Motocross. It's rare when McElroy races in a natural terrain setting.

Most of his racing is of the "supercross" variety, either in enclosed stadiums or arenas. "Hangtown is really the only outdoor race that comes into my area," said McElroy. He spends most of his time racing in events in Marysville, Los Angeles and Carson City, Nev. "I do a lot of driving," he said. McElroy said the major difference between an indoor or stadium layout and the more expansive course at the Prairie City Off-Highway Vehicle Park goes far beyond just size.

"The courses I usually race are a lot tighter," he said. "They build a lot more jumps into them. And a lot of that is for show. You spend a lot of time in the air." As a result, the room for error in McElroy's circuit is much smaller. "There's less time to correct mistakes," he said.

McElroy, who was fairly athletic as a youngster, believes motocross racing is the most physically taxing thing he's ever done. There's a lot more to it, he said, than just hanging on and working the throttle. "The top-notch riders, you can't believe the kind of incredible physical condition they're in." McElroy trains for his sport by riding a mountain bike really like those," he said) and jogging. "When there's a machine involved in a sport, people figure something else is doing the work. But it's not even close." As physically demanding as the sport is, McElroy says the mental demands are also great.

"You have to think ahead," said McElroy. "You're always trying to figure out a way to get yourself in a position that will help you later in the race. Like you want to go into one turn a certain way so you can get down a straightaway better. There's a lot of concentration involved." There are some pro riders who can support themselves on their winnings alone. McElroy is fortunate enough to at least back his riding endeavors with his winnings.

"I made money my first pro race," McElroy said. "I do OK at top-notch races and I made the main at a race at Spartan Stadium in San Jose. That was a big accomplishment for me." McElroy and his mechanic friend Steve Gibson goes to about 80 percent of my races and has been a tremendous help the last eight months. I wish I would have met him five years are now preparing for their next race. That will take place the end of this month in Mammoth Lakes.

After that, McElroy will wait for another racing series to begin in August. "I guess you could say my ultimate goal is to be a full-time racer," said McElroy. "It's a realistic goal, but foggy. It's not like I'm on the verge of it, but it's not impossible."

"I proved a lot of things to myself last year. And I won't ever trade that experience for whatever I do the rest of my life and my golf career," he said. Yet, he has struggled. Mark O'Meara, a neighbor and friend of Stewart's, offered this perspective on the situation: "After winning the U.S.

Open, and the PGA, too, there were a lot of expectations, that this is a guy who's going to really take off. But the competition now is so much tougher than it was eight or 10 years ago. Plus there's outside factors, business opportunities and endorsements. Ijustfirmlybelievethatit's much more difficult now to maintain that level of sheer competition at the top of your game than it used to be." To try to get back to the top, Stewart sought ad vice from veteran Hale Irwin, a highly competitive athlete who knows a little bit about what the U.S. Open can do to a man.

After winning his second Open in 1979 at Inverness, Irwin said he was "operating just on vapor." He also won in 1974 at Winged Foot and 1990 at Medi-nah, where, in a sudden burst of emotion, he ran around the 18th green slappinghands with spectators. In their conversation, Irwin helped Stewart realize that life goes on after a big win, and that new inspiration must be found. For Stewart now, that inspiration is the Pebble Beach Golf Links itself. "I can't think of a better place to come try to defend my championship than Pebble Beach," he said. "This is my favorite place in the world to play golf.

I don't know of a better, more beautiful place to play golf. "All the media and everybody will be focused on Freddy (Couples) and Davis (Love III) and (Mark) O'Meara, and maybe 111 just slip in the back door."

Holmes takes aim at Holyfield's record Players testify against NFL system Larry Holmes, who will challenge the 29-year-old Holyfield Friday night at Caesars Palace. The bouquets tossed at Holy-field, who weighed in at 210, often have been full of thorns.

"Who did Evander Holyfield beat," said Holmes, who weighed 233, echoing a question asked by many boxing fans. "A fat guy in Buster Douglas, an old man in George Foreman, (Bert) Cooper, and now he's fighting an old man again," said Holmes, answering himself. From The Associated Press LAS VEGAS The si tuation is a familiar one for Evander Holyfield. The undisputed heavyweight champion, who has never lost, is in a no-win predicament. Holyfield was a 4-1 favorite to boost his record to 28-0 by winning his third defense of the title he won by knocking out Douglas in the third round Oct.

25, 1990. "If he beats me they'll say he beat an old man," said 42-year-old teams to protect their top 37 players each year, his clients were shortchanged because of their ability and paid far less than they might have commanded on the open market.

Majkowski and Richards are among eight plaintiffs in the suit.

He maintained that under the 'Plan system now in effect, which allows From The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS The agent for two of the players suing the NFL for free agency testified that under the current system of move-men players are reduced to "skilled begging" to get the salaries they merit.
