i Rechel lasted for two innings. in which he gave up five hits for four runs. He left the game in middle of the fourth for little Dubby Glossner, who finished out the game, allowing six hits for five runs. Shortstop Good Maynard put on display a classy little shortstop in Butch Laurenson, and a hard-hitting third sacker in Tony Ihgersoll. The entire Williamsport team, in fact, was a hard-hitting outfit.

Lock Haven's best offensive was in the third the locals had chased starting pitcher Smith in the first frame, when he got a bit wild. In the third, however, Russell started it it off with a walk, Chuck Osborne followed with a two-bagger to center field and Jerry Whitman brought Russell home with a single. After Richie McFarland fanned, Rechel came through with a terrific home-run smash over the center field fence to account for three runs.

The outlay for those artists courses, conducting the College Times, the musical vents Christmas feature such as the Nativity, Due to some unwillingness of opponents to play on a Saturday night, Dr. Hutto told the "down- townies" merchants, there was a drawback in that regard. However, with the high school taking Friday night, the college is perfectly willing to cooperate with "Puderbaugh's Institute" and to operate on a community basis.

Maurer, former LHHS star, who played center part of last season before being injured, is calling signals for the first time from the quarterback slot.

Sir For your information in connection with the Hammersley Fork stream situation: (1) I did not, as charged in a letter by the secretary of the Western Clinton County Sportsmen's Association published in your paper, ask for membership in the private club on Hammersley Fork. Nor have I ever ssked or attempted to join any private club.

Moreover, I have never fished a private or closer jtrejm. In view of my public opposition to private clubs and the closing of streams, such a statement made and published about me is defamation of character End libel. I visited Hammersley Fork as an independent newspaper writer at the invitation of members of the Allegheny County Sportsmen's League to report what I saw and heard. (2) I did not, as the secretary charges, urge the resignatioa of the fish warden involved. (3) I have never been arresi- ed or felt the pinch of law enforcement concerning fish and game laws in my entire life.

Such a statement connected with me is criminal libel. (4) These, and other slite- ments made, are outright defamations upon my character and my reputation as a writer. (5) The letter by the Western Clinton County Sportsmen's Association's secretary did not touch on the main point. That point is, the right of any fish warden, directly or indirectly, to do anything that might result in the closing of any fishing stream to the rank and file fishermen. HARRIS G.

BRET1I Clearfield, Aug. 23 Sir: In your issue of Aug. 20, you printed an article dealing with the closing of Hammersley Fork Creek, in Clinton County. In this article you quote E. V.

Allison of Renovo, as saying that I tried to obtain membership in the Hammersley Fork Rod and Gun Club, and failed. From my observation, Mr. Allison seems to handle his words very carelessly; a lault that might cause him inconvenience. for myself, I wish to say that he does not speak the truth, since I have never made any attempt whatsoever to associate myself with the Hammersley Fork Rod and Gun Club, nor have I ever had the desire to do so. Will you please afford your readers the opportunity of reading the answer to Mr.

Alli.son's charge? With further reference to your article of Aug. 20, covering the closing of Hammersley Fork of Kettle Creek, I take the liberty of quoting from this article, as follows: "This year, Allison said, the Western Clinton Association raised 8.000 trout to legal size in one of the ponds, use of which Ludy granted free to the association." I further quote an additional passage, as follows: "All the trout raised by the association this year were stocked in Kettle Creek and its tributaries, exclusive of Hammersley Fork, the secretary declared." The above statements, as appearing in your article, are either true or a misrepresentation of the facts.

Guckert and myself visited the site of this private fishing project on Wednesday, Aug. 6, this year. On that day, we inspected the rearing ponds and found them still in the process of construction. On the same day the manager, Mr. Ludy, told us they expected to receive 8,000 trout from the federal hatchery, which trout they, expected to place in the ponds for distribution next year.

Furthermore, on the same day, E. V. Allison, the alleged author of the above quoted statements, told us he had visited the federal hatchery, saw the trout to be furnished them, that these trout were practically all the same size, being 5 to inches in length. Pertinent Question Now, 1 ask you if it is possible, in the period between Aug. 6 and the present time, that these trout could have been placed in the ponds, reared to legal size and stocked in Kettle Creek and its tributaries? I would appreciate your piacing this information before the sportsmen in your community, and would further appreciate your furnishing me with a copy of the article as presented.
