Oaks Defeat L A.
(By Th. AMoelaUd Prwt)
Those big Oakland bats are
knocking the props out from un
der Hollywood's perch atop the
Pacific Coast league.
While the Oaks trimmed Los
Angeles, 7 to 6, Wednesday night,
San Francisco's Con Dempsey
tossed a three-hitter at the Stars
for a 3 to 0 blank. The Oaks now
are but two games behind Holly
wood. Sacramento, which blasted five
San Diego hurlers for 21 hits,
won 14 to7, to keep game be
hind the Oaks.
In the loop's other game, Seat
tle made It two in a row over
Portland with a 3-to-l decision.
First baseman Dick Kryhoskl
and Artie Wilson were the Oaks'
big stickers. Kryhoski, who hit
four for five Tuesday, had a per
fect night last night. He hit three
singles and walked twice. Wilson,
the league's leading slugger, hit
three safeties, one of them a
trlnle.
Frank Shofner hit a fourth-Inning
homer to put San Francisco
ahead, 1 to 0, and with Dempsey's
mound handcuffing, it would have
been plenty. Dempsey fanned
nine to run his strikeout string to
151.
The Seattle-Portland tussle was
a pitchers duel with Rainier Ri
naldo Ardlzoia and Beaver Hal
Saltman each giving up six hits.
Seattle bunched four of them in
the third Inning for two runs.
Dons Sell Wedemeyer
To Baltimore Coirs
LOS ANGELES. Sept. 1. (.?
A hero one season, a cast-off
the next.
That was the story, a familiar
one In sports, today as Herman
Wedemeyer left the Los Angeles
Dons and the coach who guided
him to fame in college football,
Jimmy Phelan.
A brisk announcement barely
a peep compared to the ballyhoo
that ushered him Into the Don
fold and pro football last year
merely said that squirmin' Her
man had been sold outright to
the rival Baltimore Colts of the
All-America conference.
The details, the amount of
cash, whether the Colts would as
sume a fancy salary the little Ha
waiian commanded when he went
into the pro ranks, were not
given.
Wedemeyer, who struggled to
gain 249 yards In 79 trips with
the pigskin last year, was no hall
of fire under Phelan's version of
the single wing with the Dons.

Deer Season To Be Preceded By
Opening Of 3 Areas To Archers
C. A. Lockwood. Oregon state
game director, stated today that
a general misunderstanding
seems to exist regarding the deer
season in the Tillamook burn
area of Tillamook county. Many
requests for information regard
ing a special season in this area
have been received at the com
mission offices. No special sea
sons for deer are scheduled to
be held anywhere in Oregon this
year, lyockwood stated. Undoubt
edly, the misunderstanding has
arisen from the fact that a por
tion ot the Tillamoox burn will
be open for archery hunting this
year. Three areas in the state
will be open for archers. A por
tion of the Canyon creek refuge
will be open for hunters using
long bows and broadhead arrows
from September 17 to October
20. The Mt. Emily refuge in Un
ion and Umatilla counties and a
portion of the Tillamook burn wil
be open to hunters using long bow
and broadhead arrows from Sep
tember 17 to September 28.
Archery permits to hunt in
these areas may be had, free of
charge, by sending the hunter's
name, address, and hunting li
cense number to the offices of
the Oregon tate Game commis
sion in Portland.
Antelope Hunters Report

the hunters who were issued tags
for the recent antelope season in
Oregon have mailed in their re
port cards. To date 488 reports
have been received. Of these 44
did not hunt, 85 did not make a
kill, and 359 reported kills.
Robert Mace chief of big game
for the commission, urges all oth
er antelope hunters to send In
