End to fish stocking urged by national task force
A seven member national task force studying public fish hatchery policy urged not to provide fish for put and take programs except in large federal reservoirs with heavy fishing pressure. The recommendation would halt stocking catchable trout in many South streams altered by federal dam projects and could shift costs to state agencies like Arkansas Game and Fish.

Royals implement early assault on Angels in 4-2 win
Ed Figueroa pitched well but received little support as Kansas City struck in the first inning and added two more runs, topping California 4-2.

Meanwhile Oakland swept Minnesota 4-2 and 7, Milwaukee beat New York 4-3 before the Yankees surged 4-2. Baltimore downed Cleveland 5-3. Boston edged Detroit 7-6. Chicago routed Texas 13-3. Reggie Jackson hit a 420-foot homer and Gene Tenace drove in three in Oakland’s big fifth. Orioles benefited from Elrod Hendricks’s three RBIs and a Boog Powell pair of homers. Boston led 4-0 before Beniquez’s eighth-inning shot capped a 7-6 win. Chicago crushed Texas as Deron Johnson’s three-run blast sparked the rout.

Trevino bets on brains at Medinah Open
AP Special Correspondent Will Grimsley reports Lee Trevino, at Medinah No 3, believes the 75th U S Open will be decided by psychology. Trevino, favored with Nicklaus, Weiskopf and Miller, says the Open is a choking contest and edge comes from mental focus and turning pressure into decisive play on soggy fairways.
