I C2 The Berkshire Eagle, Sunday, July 6, 1997 Sports this year's catch Anglers can't complain about the size white catfish weighing 5 pounds, 12 ounces on a shiner from Onota by Ray Hisert of Lenox. today for the Tr-State 3-D archery shoot at Lenox Sportsmen's Club. Scores deadline is 4 p.m. Trophies will be awarded and there will be a chicken barbecue. jt Our Berkshires Ted 1 4 (1444 Giddings 1, 4k, Our Berkshires Jim Underhill, vice president, reports that Jon Height with a catch totaling 16 pounds, 1.5 ounces won Greylock Bass Club's tournament June 15 on Pontoosuc Lake.

Dave Benham Jr. was second with 14 pounds, 5.6 ounces, and Bill Gates third, 12 pounds, 3 ounces. In the non-boaters class, Todd Townsend was first, 10 pounds, 8 ounces, and also won lunker honors with a 4-pound, 12.5-ounce largemouth. George Reynolds placed second, 6 pounds, 14.5 ounces. The 20 competitors caught 55 largemouths and 1 smallmouth totaling 120.5 pounds.

Ledoux emphasized that the meeting is open to all who are interested. "You don't have to be a trapper to belong to the association," he said. An estimated 200-pound bear that had been roaming the Williams Street, Pittsfield, area last week spent half a night sleeping in a tree in the back yard of the Marcel O. Rajotte family, 30 Lexington Parkway.

"Our daughter Ann, who couldn't sleep, told us the bear finally left around 2:30 a.m.," RAiotte said. Arthur Bushey of Pittsfield (not Edward as reported previously) who won the biggest fish award in the Deerfield River One Fly Tournament June 7, 8 with a 22.5-inch long, 14.5- inch girth rainbow, spent a week recently at Camping on the Battenkill, Arlington, fishing the non-stocked waters in Vermont. He reports taking "a lot of average size fish," the largest a 1312-inch native trout taken on a sculpin pattern he tied himself. Registration is from 7 to 11:30 a.m. It has slowed considerably because of the recent heat wave, but no one who knows how to fish can rightfully complain about the quality of fishing this past spring.

Although the number of trout stocked was down from last year, the loss was more than compensated for by the greater size of the fish supplied by the state hatcheries. Recent catches of note include a 25- inch, 5-pound rainbow taken from the Westfield River catch-and-release section in Chesterfield and a 30-inch, 1012-pound brood stock salmon from Windsor Pond in Windsor. The rainbow was reeled in by lawyer Michael J. "Mike" Shepard of Dalton on a three weight rod, No. 16 hook and sculpin fly I he tied himself.

John J. "Jack" Kelly of Windsor, vice president of Berkshire Bank, captured the salmon on a 3-inch rainbow Rapala lure. "The line went limp at one point and I had lost him," Kelly stated. "But he had gone under my boat, and the fight started all over again." He is having the outsizer mounted by taxi dermist Greg Gillette of Pittsfield. Earlier in the season a 15-pound, 10- A belated salute to Bob Sousa of Shutesbury on catching a largemouth bass on 5X tippet that has been accepted by the National, Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame as a tie for the world fly fishing Irecord largemouth caught in Georgia.

Sousa, a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service employee, made his catch at Cranberry Pond, Sunderland, casting a prototype fly resembling a purple wooly bugger. His leader was 4-pound test and the bass weighed 8 pounds, 8 ounces on a certified scale. Charles W.G. Smith, writer, photog- lapher and hiker, will be at Barnes Noble Book Sellers, 555 Hubbard Pittsfield, next Sunday at 1 p.m., where he will sign copies of his new book, "Nature Walks in the Berkshire Hills." Smith, a resident of Mill River, gives detailed descriptions of 42 walks in the county, with maps, pictures and geological and historical information.

ounce brood stock salmon was caught at Windsor Pond on a Thomas Buoyant minnow by Rodney Lynds of Plainfield, who had it checked at Onota Boat Livery, Pittsfield. It was 3412 inches long and had a I9-inch girth, Karyn Daly of the livery said. Among other catches she listed were a 6-pound, 3-ounce rainbow taken on Powerbait at Stockbridge Bowl by George Lowe of Great Barrington and a 27-pound, 4-ounce striped bass from the Hudson River at Poughkeepsie, N.Y., on a live herring by Peter Wilhams of Pittsfield.

Jrabu fires 7-inning shutout In his manor league finale COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) Irabu was in trouble only need to get somebody in here that can help the club better than I can." With that, Boggs stood up from the chair in which he was sitting outside the visiting clubhouse at Sky Dome and walked away. When asked if he had considered asking for a trade, Boggs, a future Hall of Famer, said, "Yeah. I'm going to talk to my agent." That would be Alan Nero, who could soon be asking the Yankees to send Boggs to a team that would find him more playing time.

Boggs is in the final year of a contract that will pay him $2 million this season. The club holds an option on another year, although it is doubtful the Yankees would pick it up. Boggs, does have a no-trade clause in his contract and he did not rescind it over the off-season when the Cubs inquired about his availability. mired in a season-long slump. The 15-year veteran has 1 hit in his last 14 at-bats and is 7 for his last 37 Targets 3,000 hits A lifetime .333 hitter before this season the second highest average among active players coming into 1997 Boggs is batting just .241 in 60 games this year.

With 2,746 career hits, but only 49 this year, Boggs is 254 shy of the plateau he so desperately wants to reach. And now it appears that he will try to get to 3,000 in some place other than the Bronx. Perhaps it will be in Tampa, where he makes his home and where the expansion Devil Rays will begin play next season. Actually, the genesis of Boggs's discontent can probably be traced back to the acquisition of Hayes at the end of last August. Boggs had lower-back problems at the time of the trade.

When he was healthy enough to return, the two basi cally platooned all the way asked what I thought about it. I told him I was ready." Coaching was always something Tijerina wanted to do after his playing days were over. He said he spoke with Mets officials about his future on several occasions, making it clear he wanted to coach when he finished on the field. Tijerina said he was happy to pull on the blue Mets practice jersey with the No. 13 on the back, and the warmup hat that looked like the old game caps from 1991.

His happiness might have been tempered by the fact that New York released him as a player after the '96 season but that's not the case. "Baseball's a funny game, and the longer you're in it, you see a lot of things. I never lost respect for the organization," he added. Tijerina was part of the first club I ever covered as Mets beat writer. It was probably the most exciting team I ever saw at Wahconah Park.

The '91 Mets, managed by Jim Thrift, with pitching coach Jerry Koosman and coach Billy Gardner won a New York-Penn League high 52 games, but lost to the Jamestown Expos in the championship series. Those Mets were 8-2 in extra ut lost to the Jamesto.wn Expos in the championship series. Those Mets were 8 -2 in extra- inning games, 8-1 in one-run games and won 22 games in their last at-bats. "The amazing thing," Tijerina recalled, "was we had a group of average ballplayers. Nobody really stood out.

It was a team that fought and would do anything to win. "Most of us aren't even playing in the game any more. We were the kind of team that scrapped and made things happen." In fact, only three players who wore Pittsfield uniforms in 1991 are now in the major leagues. Philadelphia outfielder Ricky Otero and San Diego second baseman Quilvio Veras came up to Pittsfield for six games at the tail end of the '91 season. But Cincinnati reliever Hector Carrasco was with Pittsfield for the entire '91 season.
