Indians Win
On Forfeit In
Disputed Play
Myrtle Creek Vikings,
Leading 11-8, Lose In
Talkfest With Umpire
A heated argument, In which
Myrtle Creek alleged Leo Bow
ers, who was base-running from
second to third, had "Interfered"
with Myrtle Creek's third base
man, cost the Vikings last night's
game at Finlay field on a for
feit to the Roseburg Indians.
Base umpire Bill Shapro held
that Bowers had not interfered
with the fielder. Coach Forrest
Laughry and members of the
Viking baseball team argued the
Roseburg base-runner had de
liberately run down third base
man C. Clack to prevent him
from making a play.
Plate umpire Hal Edgar, also
head umpire of the game, re
quested that play he resumed.
Myrtle Creek spokesmen con
tinued to argue Shapro's deci
sion. Edgar then ruled that the
visitors forfeit the game In favor
of the Indians,
AI Flegel, recognized baseball
authority and umpire, who had
witnessed the incident as a spec
tator, was queried by the News
Review for his Interpretation of
the Incident.
, Flegel said no Interpretation
of rules was Involved; only an
umpire's decision. "You cannot
argue an umpire's opinion," he
emphasized. "The umpire runs
tin game the players do not
run the umpire, he added.
Story Of The Game
The argument came after Dex
ter Garey had scored Roseburg's
eighth run with two away In the
bottom half of the sixth. Bow
ers, hit by a pitched ball, went
to first, Barry Kenny followed
Bowers on a fielder's choice.
Shortly thereafter, Bowers at
tempted to advance to third, after
which the Incident occured and
the argument ensued.

four runs In Its portion of the
first, after Myrtle Creek failed
to score. Garey and Bowers each

Fishery Possibilities Of
Umpqua Basin Stressed By
Biologist Ross Newcomb
Anticipation by individuals or groups of the same kind of
industrial development here as in the East, without an effort being
made to avoid the same destruction of natural, self-maintaining,
renewable resources as occurred there, "never ceases to amaze"
Ross Newcomb, resident biologist for the State Game Commission.
Newcomb, In charge of the
Umpqua River study, spoke to
the Roseburg Chamber of Com
merce Monday noon at the Ump
qua Hotel. He was introduced to
the audience by Charles V. Stan
ton, editor of The News-Review.
Newcomb's comprehensive speech
was entitled, "Possibilities for the
Umpqua Fisheries."
"It seems to me to be of para
mount importance thnt this sub
jectthe fishery possibilities be
considered for the whole drain
age basin," said Newcomb, "Not
Just from the standpoint of Rose
burg, or Rccdsport, or any other
section. And furthermore, it must
be considered from a long-term
standpoint."
Looking to the dav when sur
plus timber in this area shall have
been cut, and the Industry oper
ating on a sustained yield basis,
Newcomb pointed out that part
of the economic emphasis can be
switched to fish and wildlife
"also on a sustained yield basis."
Opportunities Cited
Newcomb declared there Is
room for "several small vacation
resorts and a dude ranch or two."
The river also needs a good guide
s"rvlce, he said, because many
people, disappointed at their lack
of angling success, are "woefully
Ignorant as to how the stream
should be worked."
There Is "certainly plenty of
room for more and belter" tour
ist and short-slay guest accom
modations along the river. With
completion of the Diamond Lake
Highway, it Is "quite likely" that
private capital will "Jump at the
opportunity," he said.
It would be wise, he pointed
out, to try to attract operators
with ideas which are in harmony
wun tne area development he
fore Interior establishments get a

chance at the best locations.
Newcomb said he also saw an
opportunity for a few individuals
to operale private boat moorages
at some future time. There is also
a "crying need" for more public
boat and motor rental facilities in
tidewater.
As adjuncts to these things,
there should "certainly be a good
market" for locally made files,
spinners, rods, and other tackle,
and for live bait. People attract
ed here by these activities will
add to the Income of Douglas
County.
Pollution, Erosion Cited
Two of the leading reasons for
decimal ion of fish runs are pollu
tion and soil erosion. The Rose
burg area it "the most important
spot" needing immediate atten
tion, Newcomb declared. He said
he personally believes that annex
ation of surrounding areas Is the
"proper first step" toward solu
tion of the sanitary problem. He a
urged that the Chamber of Com-1
merce act on the annexation prob- I
lem. Soil losses through destruc-j
live logging practices and attend
ant soil erosion also are an B
important factor, he said. jfl
Newcomb envisioned a plan
ning council "a little Umpqua ! I
Valley Authority of our own" I
which would educate the public in
the matter of preserving fish
life In the river, and to aid toward I
maintaining the balance between
soil and water. The council might
include membership of chambers
of commerce, banks and loan
agencies, the Rod and Gun Club,
the logging Industry, the Grange,
and the County Court, as well as
the State Game Commission, For
est Service, and the Bureau of
Land Management.

Bosox Wrangle
With Umpire In
Losing To Nats
By JOE REICHLER
(Associated Press Sports Writer!
The muffled explosions you
may hear in the distance are
possibly the sound of big-league
managers flipping their lids. This
seems to be the season for It.
Burt Shotton of Brooklyn and
Joe McCarthy of the Boston Red
Sox, two of the milder master
minds, are the latest to blow
off steam.
After watching his charges
drop three straight to the Braves
in Boston, Shotton really .ex
ploded Sunday. He ripped into
his players with a tongue-lashing
the likes of which they had
not heard, since the departure of
Leo Durocher.
McCarthy's explosion came
yesterday, but his tirade was
directed at the umpires. It came
about after the final out was
made in the Washington-Boston
fame, won by the Senators,
2.
Plate Umpire Joe Paparella
had just ruled that the final
out was made before the po
tential tying run had crossed
the plate. This brought McCar
thy and the entire Boston team
out on the diamond, protesting
that Tom O'Brien had crossed
the plate before Lou Stringer
was tagged after rounding sec
ond on pinch hitter Sam Mele's
single. After considerable wrang-
