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.

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-

proximately one half the num

been tallied.
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.
Comparative figures are listed

Helbig is the third Roseburg
player to get a call to the pro
fessionals this year. 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

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.

What's going en her? 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

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.
