4-F Sunday, June 11, "61 DETROIT FREE PRESS Good. Is isliir xpected; for Bass Opener goodly carry-over since last fall. LAST WINTER'S cold weather was not persistent and the snowfall was not heavy, therefore there was very little loss of fish. Most bass fishermen will concentrate on the inland lakes of the Lower Penin test, 16 first-place-winning largemouth bass were caught In lakes located In the three southern tiers of counties. Two winners came from each of the counties of Van Bu-ren, Kalamazoo, Calhoun and Jackson.

BENZIE COUNTY lead3 the list of smallmouth bass sula. These lakes are not only close to the homes of the majority of fishermen, but they are also productive. Largemouth bass especially, are warm water fish, and the lakes in southern Michigan's rich farm country suit them nicely. In the past 29 years of the Free Press Fishing Con winners, for the years 1949, 1950, 1955 and 1959; Grand Traverse County is second with winners in 1944, 1954 and 1957; Antrim County third with winners in 1947 and 1953. These three counties alone supplied winning smallmouths in nine of the 29 years of the contest.

Although the main concen tration of bass fishermen will be on inland lakes, an increasing number of them will fish the bays of the Great Lakes where smallmouths are being discovered in goodly numbers. The tip of the Thumb and the Charity Islands have long been known as topnotch bass grounds. Waugachance Point changed to make it the third Saturday in June. This year, the third Saturday falls on the 17th. Bass fishing ought to be good.

Even shallow lakes which often lose a goodly share of their big bass due to "winterkill" when heavy enow blankets the ice and shuts out sunlight, have a BY JACK VAN COEVEKING Michigan fishermen will celebrate the last In the series of "openers" when the lid lifts Saturday on both smallmouth and largemouth bass. It will be the earliest bass opening in years. Traditionally, bass season opened on June 25. Then the law was i Scouts Get 'V Woods and Waters By Jack Van Coevering Eyeful 1 in Emmet County and Grand Traverse Bay yield excellent catches. "I believe there are terrific populations of amall-mouth bass In the Great Lakes which have never been says A.

B. Cook, chief of the Fisheries Division of the Conservation Department. "Fishermen may find that some exploration in other shallow waters of the Great Lakes will pay off." DETROITERS HAVE long fished Lake St. Clair for smallmouths, where) the bass are light-green in color and usually run three to four pounds in weight. Many De-trolters, however, wait until August when they say Lake St.

Clair is most productive) for bass. ThU year's early opening on bass will probably find many big on their beds. In past years, fishermen have been warned to stay away from shallow water so as not to catch spawning bass, ilsherie men no longer Issue such warnings. Research of bass habits has shown that bass are. extremely prolific and that a comparatively few nests can produce all the fish that a lake can support.

The fisheries men believe that any time a lake is overfished, it can be rectified by restrictive measures for a few years un i Wt JL V' ill rv Willi' 'A i Jri fel Ggfl '2 $Xf-; 'J? I fCr' St?

But the only squad complaining Saturday at Northwestern Field as the Free Press Amateur league opened its 1961 season was Citizens Mutual, one of the squads favored to win the title. Oakwood sent lefty Larry Rood to the mound Saturday and Rood responded with a sharp seven-Jiitter while pitching his club to a 7-4 victory. Citizens Mutual got good mileage from its seven hits, homers by John Paclorek and Cliff Rothrock and triples by Rudy Bizick and Rico Zuccaro.

However, Oakwood clipped two Mutual pitchers for 11 safeties, Including a double and two singles by catcher Jerry Dumont. FOUR-HIT pitching by Bill Fudge, plus some hefty hitting by Jim Zeiter, featured R. G. Moeller's 7-1 victory over Mohawk Metal. If I.

We do precious little of it on city streets and still less on suburban roads.

You need trout streams and forest trails for walking. It offers great rewards. When you plan your vacation this summer, allow time for walking. When you visit National Parks, accompany the Park Rangers on their hikes. If you have never done it before, this will open up a new world for you, a world that will give you a lot more interesting things to talk about than the number of miles you turned up on your speedometer.

IN MICHIGAN, JUNE IS AN especially good walking month. Your feet and your feet only can take you to the footlights of Nature's drama. Out of the car, and on your feet then, clad in loose clothing and low-heeled shoes. A bottle or tube of mosquito repellent in one pocket, a pair of binoculars around the neck and a camera in the gadget bag if you are a picture clicker, and you are ready. In June, Nature Is more to be compared to three-ring circus rather than with a stage production.

There is so much going on all at once that you will have to choose. Fishing is at its best in June. Trouters look for the "fly hatch." Bass fishermen open their season next Saturday. Bluegillers have their best luck in shallows now. The "pickerel run" in the St.

Clair River will be at its peak, and these same "pickerel," more correctly called walleyes will be at their best in Bay de Noc. IF YOU GO ON A HIKE along forest trails, keep an eye out for new-born fawns, brown spotted creatures with milky white spots. Keep an eye out, I say, but leave them alone. The mother lurks nearby as you pass. There are baby raccoons, young porcupines, bear cubs and little squirrels to observe.

Birds are nesting now. You are lucky if you discover woodcock on the nest, because she blends so beautifully with her surroundings. At the edge of a farm field, you will find killdeer nests. When you approach, the mother killdeer will lure you away, pretending she has a broken wing which flutters in seeming helplessness. Young birds are everywhere in June.

Look for young "cry baby" orioles, and the young of red-winged blackbirds, goldfinches, scarlet tanagers and indigo buntings, all of which are quite different in appearance from their parents. June is a month of wildflowers, although the earliest ones such as arbutus, hepatica, trout lily, trillium, and Jack-in-the-pulpit have gone. The list of flowers Is a long one. SEE IF YOU CAN FIND bergamot, black eyed Susan, blue-eyed grass, bouncing bet, bugloss, buttercup, butterfly weed, campion, Queen Anne's lace, clintonia, daisy, harebell, hawkweed, Indian pipe, iris, lady slipper (yellow, pink and showy) wood lily, pond lily, milkweed, mustard, Indian paint brush, pickerel weed, rose, vervain, vetch, violet and wintergreen. Do the same for butterflies, moths, frogs, toads, snakes, trees and animals.

You do not need a special course or schooling to enjoy the pleasures of all outdoors. All you need is a receptive and wondering mind, and a willingness to ob til the bass have a chance to catch up again. Sunday's Sandlot Schedule CLASS A-Posl-Cola v. JOt. NW 1, 3:30 p.m.; John F.

B. Shell; 6-1. Ellward racked up 17 strikeouts. Rubs Nelson and Carl Harrington both hit home runs for the winners. First baseman Willie Horton, one of the prime targets of a dozen major league scouts who 'roamed the premises Saturday, put on quite a show for Brown Insulation.

Horton hammered two home runs and a single to drive in three runs but his team bowed to Modern Hard Chrome, 8-5. Shortstop Chuck Kamlnski drove home three runs with four singles in leading Wally's Standard to a 9-3 victory over Adray Appliance.

They'll tee off Thursday in earnest, go 18 more holes Friday and then wind up in a Saturday flourish with not one, but two, 18-hole rounds. Barring a tie after the regulation figure of 72 holes, and a resultant playoff for the title, the tumult and the shouting will have died, and all the golfing kings will have departed by Sunday. Peace again will have come to Oakland Hills although it will take a while to count the money and let the grass bounce up again after being trampled by the customers.

Weekend for 'Popular Sports9 THe'opEN ISN'T OPEN on Sundays and while there is a half-hearted attempt by come to explain such a fact with a Sabbatical overtone, the answer is simple. It started out as a one-day event. That was way back in 1895. The date of the first one was Friday, Oct. 4.

Only 11 golfers competed. It grew. By 1913, two days of qualifying were required so they were run off on Tuesday and Wednesday while the tourney was played on Thursday and Friday. Saturday and Sunday? They belonged to popular sports like baseball. They weren't even charging admission to golf tourneys like the Open.

Sports fans hardly recognized the game. Fact is, even competitors in the Open wanted the weekend for other purposes like giving lessons for Not until 1922 was admission charged for the big tournament. By that time, it had become accepted as a fact that while the Open might fluctuate as either a two, Tuesday and Wednesday while the tourney proper was played on Thursday and Friday. So while oher golf tourneys all of 'em wind up on Sunday, and other sports like baseball and pro football find it to be a financial gold mine, the National Open still uses it for a day of rest. Tradition, it's wonderful.
