Obregon Mexico Lures Bass Fans With Record Setting Catches
A writer and family fished Lake Obregon in Sonora and harvested abundant bass up to five pounds with few fishing pressures. They report 100 bass in a single windy afternoon, multiple six pounders for Presley, and a productive, hospitable Mex-Bass operation run by Charles Gray. The trip highlights Obregon’s water quality, basic guides, and local hospitality, with highway access from Tucson and air routes via St. Louis Phoenix Obregon.

Ypsilanti okays girl to play with Little Leaguers
Ypsilanti Michigan youths decide to let Carolyn King a 12 year old girl play with the formerly all boy Little League group this summer reversing an earlier charter threat. The national headquarters may suspend or revoke the charter after an investigation is ordered. Carolyn will play tonight in her first game. The city had refused diamonds unless she could participate. Robert Stirrat of the national organization says there is no choice but to uphold the no girl rule, but an inquiry will determine next steps possibly taking several days.
