Baseball Hearings Rally Frick to Move Washington
A column criticizes Ford C Frick and congressional hearings on baseball, citing Happy Chandler and Emanuel Celler. It recalls past figures like J P Mora, Howard Hughes, Brewster, Branch Rickey, Joe Garagiola, Eddie Yost, and Grantland Rice in a satirical tour of sport and politics. It notes debates over antitrust rules and the reserve clause, and references Harding and Lardner in light humor.

Bass Pound Southern Illinois Lakes For June Angling
Downstate anglers report Lake Grassy remains the bass capital as June yields multiple four to seven pound fish and a Sunday jackpot of six bass totaling 32 pounds. Deep running lures and Bomber plugs dominate hotspots while after dark fishing brings four to six pounders in shallow water. Other waters like Lake Murphysboro Pinckneyville Lake and Crab Orchard show mixed bites with bluegill and crappie activity and water temperatures around 86 degrees at mid June.
