Reported by Jim Nelson. Rising Trinity River water pushes backwater into Pickets Bayou and Olé Hiver, muddying baysou fishing but likely temporary. Local angler Leonard Chance reports strong trot line catches in Picketts Bayou and Cut-Off, including nine 30 pound yellow cats.

Scarborough Targets Red Sox as Star Pitches in Duel
Washington pitcher Rae Scarborough, one of the American League’s top righties, beats Boston 3 to 1 in a game where Al Papal matched him until the eighth. Scarborough’s strong 16-5 lifetime record against Boston fuels speculation he could help any pennant contender. In other action, Max Lanier dominated Cincinnati, and the Dodgers defeated Boston 6 to 4 behind Roy Campanella and Del Crandall’s timely hitting as rained-out games affected the rest of the league.
