(NEA) 6 The Newt-Review, HoMbMrg, Ore. Mon., July 21, 1952 Steelhead Run Sets New Mark Roster Chief Adds Two Players Two men have been added to the Roseburg Chief roster to replace Dwane Ilclbig and Cub llouck. Nub Bcamer, Sullicrliti High School youth, is listed as a rcliel catcher, and Ken Ayres comcj back to the fold as a utility man. The addition of Bcamer to the roster gives the Chiefs a potential brother battery. His older brother Wally, is currently a pitching mainstay with the locals. Nub is only a sophomore at Sutherlin High, but has already become one of the school's all-time hitting stars. He played in a portion of one game with the Chiefs against the Cuban Giants last week and did a creditable job behind the plate. Ayres has been a utility man for the Chiefs before, but was drop ped early in the season. He has lately been one of the Evergreen League's top hurlcrs with Suther lin. The two openings on the roster came when Outfielder Dwane Hcl big signed with the Portland Beav ers Saturday and Cub Houck fail ed to make an appearance with the Chiefs since he agreed to join the club.

Stephens Ph.3-4277 A few salmon trout are in the river, the summer steelhead mi gration has set a new record, and Chinook salmon still are moving, although the run is nearing an end. These are the principal facts re vealed in the bi weekly report from the regional office of the Oregon Game Commission cover ing the Umpqua River study. William E. Pitney, field agent In charge of the river study, re ports the spring salmon run .'till in progress. The counting station at Winchester tallied 278 adult fish over the board during the first two weeks of July, bringing the total to July 15 to 4.409 as compared with 2.775 on the same date in 1947, the parent run of the current migration. The 1947 count was the previous high mark in the Chinook tally. The salmon migration is believed to be about 90 per cent complete. Observers are' particularly elated by the movement of sum mer steelheads. Counters check ed 1.194 through their station dur ing the first two weeks in July for a total of 2.650 by that date, which far exceeds any year since the study started in 1946. If the movement compares in percent ages with previous seasons, ap- Spring Chinook .

The salmon trout run has be gun, with 73 fish through the Win chester station as of July 15. This is the largest number of sea-run cutthroats counted at Winchester by mid-July since 1947. Last year's season total of 1.508 was the larg est on record. Only 1.5 per cent of the total run had been counted by July 15. Salmon trout have been on a down cycle along the entire coast for several years. Last year's increase was encour aging to the scientific staff of the Game Commission, as they have been very worried because of di minishing runs. Pitney, who has been working industriously in the hope of re building depleted species in the Umpqua River system, says it is yet toe early to determine whether the improvement in all migrations is temporary or permanent. Sev eral years must elapse before it can be definitely established that management plans are working. Gains, however, are most encour aging, he says.

For the third time this year, one of Roseburg's young baseball stars has shucked the Chiefs for the lucrative professional pastures. Dwane Helbig, 20-year-old outfield er and Oregon State College great, has signed with the Portland Beav ers. He will join the Victoria Club in the Western International Lea gue Tuesday.

Shortly after the season started, Bob Bone brake, base stealing third base man, was called back to the Brook lyn Dodger farm system. Not long after, Dave Mann, one of Rose burg's moundsmen, went on a weekend trip to Oakland and fin ished out the weekend playing for the Acorns. Oregon State College will feel the brunt of Helbig's latest move al.vi. Football Coach Kip Taylor had him slated for a tremendous year as defensive halfback and pass-catching end. The OSC base ball team will miss him even mote since it loses a second-string All American. The move to the Beavers was supervised by Emerson Helbig, father of the hard hitting outfield er. He stated that he had contact with major league teams, but has leaned toward the Beavers since Ilwsne graduated from Rooseve't IliSh in l'ortlanrt. He says the de cision was made after "careful deliberation." Dwane said he hated to leave the Chiefs. He had completed his last gamp in Roseburg uniform Sunday afternoon.

She said she had meant to discard one of the clubs before her semi final match, out forgot. Her opponent, Mrs. Naomi Kidd, automatically moved into the finals where she will meet Mrs. Richard Grubbs Saturday. Mrs. Grubbs won from Mrs. Jack Laing, 1 up in the semi-finals. By GEORGI CASTILLO Ths Roseburg Chiefs lost both ends of a home - stand South western Oregon League baseball series for the first time this year. But one game is on protest. Displaying a wealth of hitting power, the Medford Cheney Studs edged Roseburg, 7-6, Saturday night and thumped the Chiefs, 5-2, in the Sunday afternoon tilt at Finlay Field. Flaring tempers and a neck-to-neck batting match made the Saturday game the classic of the two. Roseburg Manager Karl Sargent broke up a tight huddle of players around plate Um pire Charlie Dodson in the eighth inning to announce a protest. The heated inciucnt exploded lirst from the Medford dugout when Umpire Dodson called a fair ball on Bus Sporer's liner toward first and again from the (.nieis ana fans when he reversed the de cision. Swinging late. Sporer lashed a low, screaming liner with two men out. He loped to second Dase alter Dodson had motioned him on, but that motion was the cue for the entire Stud team to converge on the wavering ump. After a scorch ing tongue fest, Dodson conferred with the base umpire, who said the ball was foul. Dodson chang ed his mind and called foul for the second cue. This time the Chiefs swarmed out of the dugout for a few words. Manager Sargent filed a protest immediately on the interpretative grounds that calling fouls rests solely with the plate umpire. The decision on the protest win nave to wait for the next meeting of the Southwestern Oregon moguls at a still unannounced date. The point of interpretation was nressed so heatedly because Spor er was in the position for the tying run. In the ninth inning, a trick as old as football's Statue of Liberty fashioned a third out that brought the Studs again frothing from the dugout. Crafty, old Paul Gehrman singled, but nonchalantly stepped off first thinking the play was completed. It happened, however, that Chief First Baseman John Ferrell had palmed the ball. Just as nonchalantly he tagged Gehr man and screamed for the um pire. Medford Manager Hoosier Hoffard claimed Chief Pitcher had balked because he was on the mound when the hidden ball trick was pulled. The game itself was a surging battle which the Chiefs tied at 6 all in the seventh inning. The Chiefs took a one-run lead in the first on singles Uy Chuck Fiske and Al Simpson. But Medford bunched hits in the fourth and fifth to score three runs in each. Three Roseburg errors helped. In the sixth, Fiske rapped a triple to score Lovell Baker. Con secutive singles by Les Winders, Dwane Helbig and Zurcher, and a long fly scored two more in the sixth for the Chiefs. Then in the seventh, Zurcher's timely single brought in two more to deadlock the game In the eighth. Jack Gordon past ed a double off reliefer Bus Spor er to score Moose Blevins with the winning tally. Sunday, the Chiefs again took an early lead, but couldn't hold it. In the first inning, Barney Koch tipped a blooper into short left field which was lost in the sun. Al Simpson walked. John Linde banged a single down the third base line to score Koch, and Hel big hammered a long fly for the second run. But that ended Chief scoring for the game. The Studs scored one In the first and tied it up in the third on Alex McDonald's dancing homer down the first base line. Frank Roelandt's double in the fifth scored Moose Blevins, again with the winning score. A bad bounce triple and two singles scored the insurance brace in the sixth and sent Wally Beamer to the show ers. Mickey Coen posted a two hit relief performance. Bud Shirtcliff made his reap pearance with the Chiefs after a two-month military training stint. He collected a double in two trips and heralded himself as the batting spark of Roseburg's slumping hit fortunes. Another hearetning sign was Al Simpson's showing at the plate Saturday night. In five trips he singled, doubled and tripled and batted in one run. lurcher's two timely sinsles for three runs also harked well for the future. His fielding was brilliant.

Well, ifs an artist's conception of our Superintend ent of Communications. The tools he works with now are just about s varied as the illustration indicates. Time was when the Superintendent ot Telegraph on a railroad had a fairly un complicated job. But things have changed. Electronics have come to the railroad. We still use the telegraph, of course. In fact, our daily stint of passing information around involves some 100,000 telegrams. But we also use some interesting variations on the telegram -to say nothing of using every other form of communication as well. Because of that, the man who used to be known as our "Superintendent of Tble- graph" now has the title, "Superintendent of Communications." And since he is re sponsible for "getting the word around" to all the right people at the right time, to keep our railroad running safely, on sched ule, and still more efficiently, he works with 1 ii I 1 CAU'OtNiA IIN I ' MIVAOA IZOHA MI1KO tltAS lOUtltANft telegraph, teletype, telephone (about 150, 000 calls every day), radnr, walkie-talkie, radiophone, pneumatic tube, microfilm, automatic-electronic freight car locator, and virtually every other known device of communication. He also works with 100,000 miles of wire on our coast-to-coast telegraph, plus 70,494 miles of super-imposed "cafrier" circuits. In short, his me diums of communication are so varied that we had to change his title. The old one didn't fit any more. There are many ways of measur ing a railroad's progressiveness. We think Southern Pacific's rapid strides in the field of modern communications indicate our railroad's determination to step ahead, taking advantage of scientific advance to make our good service still better. And while we're on the subject, we'd like to brag a small brag about our S.E people, many of them old-timers, who exclaimed, "Hey, what's going on here?" at their first view of some new electronic monster of communication. They've been foremost in taking hold, learning, adapting themsel vea, building the communications record that enables Southern Pacific to serve the peo ple of the Southwest and West a little faster and better each day. Some of the new electronic dcricn oar communications people use ore dramatic and exciting. We ll tell you more about them from tune to time in these metsages. novTHBtst Paoanc CoHrutr, D. J.
