He had experienced success with some of his short stories which were publIshed at a time when popular journalIsm and fiction reflected the new literacy In Britain. In 1886 he set out to write a detective story / full length novel which he hoped would be serlallzed in a magazine and later brought out as a book. It was publIshed as a book in 1887 for which he received only 24 pounds. Thus the career of the creator of Sherlock Holmes was launched. Dr. Richard Caplan, our Iowa City "Holmes officlanado", will present an introduction to the famous detective on Thursday, June 10th at 1:30 and also tell us about a local group of Sherlock Holmes fans who meet three times a year. Join us in June for Holmes, Walsen, Caplan, tea and crumpets and a snoopy summer dayl Fee: $1.00.

Smart Fishing The Center plans to ensure smart fishing for seniors this summer by I presenting Paul Sleeper of the Lake McBride Fisheries Station on Wednes- day, July 7th at 1:30. We are hopeful that Paul will divulge the best spots in the county at the seminar as well as whet our appetite for a Senior Fishing Day at Kent Park in August (See August schedule.) To be totally Infonned on fishing, please read the following: Why Dumb People Catch More Trout Than Smart People If you hang around Charley's Hotel Rapids on the Brodheads Cree, or Frank Keener's Antrim Lodge on the Beaverklll, and play close attention to the inmates, you will notice that the lamer the brain, the heavier the c:eel. The reason for this is very simple, When a fisherman gets to the stream he looks it over and decldes where he would go If he were a fish. Then he takes out his work can or his fly box and decides which worm or which fly he would prefer if he were a fish. Then he drifts his worm or casts his fly into the spot he has declded on. If he catches a fish, he Is very proud, because he knows he thinks like a fish And naturally, fishermen who think like fish catch more trout than flshennen who think like armadillos or duck-billed platypuses or mongooses. , Of course, the reason a fish thinks the way he does Is that his brain Is very tiny In relation to his body. So the tinier the fisherman's brain the easier it Is for him to think like a fish, and catch trout righ! and left. The same principle explains why fishermen with big mouths catch the most large-mouth bass, and fishennen with banjo eyes catch the most wall-eyed pike, and fishermen with jaundice catch the most yellow perch, and so forth. The virgin sturgeon has never been caught on rod and reel. i: I , i , i I " I Ii I , , I it I \: I I i: f , , I I I I , , i , ! excerpt from Ed Zem The Annchair AII~/er Brykczllski & Reutller, Editors 1d.d3 .,.,....

Al Grady, Iowa City's favorite sports editor and columnist says "Let's Talk Baseball" on Wednesday, July 14 at 10 AM. It's a time t!J hear some of AI's favorite baseball stories and share some of yours. Just for fun we offer the following excerpt taken from Remembrance of Swin~s Past by Ron Luciano: The rules of baseball have continually evolved, but the game really hasn't changed very much. The pitcher pitches, the hiller hits, the fielders field. but to someone who has never seen the game played before, it can be as compllcated as playing Scrabble with hieroglyphics. During World War II American soldiers in the Far East introduced baseball to the Chines. Unfortunately, the Chinese dIdn't quite understand the rules. To them, It seemed, the game was simple: "1. You wave your bat around fiercely and the pitcher has to hit It with the ban. 2. U he does, you are punished by having to mn Uke hell to four bases, where four of your friends try to stop the man who catches the ball from hitting you with It. ' 3. They attempt to catch the bail before you are hit. 4. U you thiilk your friend may miss the ball, you snde under him and take cover. 5. ' Nobody may throw the ban at you while you are on base. 6. U, while on base, another bat Is hit by the pitcher's ban, you are again punished by having to mn nke hen. 7. The catcher, who Is your friend, wears a hideous mask to further disconcert the pitcher's aim at the bat. 8. If the ban falls to touch the bat in three swings, cheers of Ding /towl are heard, meaning the batter Is shifty, fast, and good because the pitcher didn't hit the bat. 9. If the player Is foolish enough to be caught unaware by the pitcher and is hit by the ban, he Is disgraced and Is not allowed any more chances at bat, but must go to first base in his crippled state, and mn nke hen when the bat ~f the next player Is hit," Take Me Out To The n,~ll Game < , , I I I , " , I I I I, " j: I' H ;: I.
