Preacher Roe's Confession Of Spitball Use May Prove Step Toward Lifting Ban By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK WV-Elwin (Preach er) Roe, the drawling humorist from Ash Flat, Arkansas, is being drummed out of the lodge for hav ing owned up in black and white that he employed the spitball as a regular stock in trade during those great seasons he had with the Brooklyn Dodgers toward the end of his career. Baseball men even those who victimized, by the Preacher's outlaw pitch feel that the vet eran spoke out of , turn and say they would not have violated such a sacred pledge for the $2,000 that Roe is said to have received. Leo Durocher, for example, accuses Preacher of selling out for "30 pieces of silver." Those are strong words even if Leo's figures are not accurate. Baseball writers, many of whom knew all along that Roe was dip ping into the old saliva, are ag grieved that they permitted them selves to be scooped. There is a sort of unwritten law within the profession that certain things, such as a player's drinking habits and cheating on the field, are not dis cussed in nrint. A colleague says that now he will never give the Preacher his vote for baseball's Hall of Fame. The whole thing is more silly than anything else, and we can imagine that Roe, who has a highly developed sense of humor, is get ting many a chuckle out of the .torm he kicked up Some good nf it thourii. if the end result is that the diamond mag nates become realistic and lift the 35 year ban on the spitter. There is no reason in the world now that they should not. The pitch was banished at a time when the owners were just beginning to realize that the Dome run ana lots of hilling drew crowds. They de cided to make it a hitter's game. First they hamstrung-the pitchers by every means they could think of, and then they introduced the rabbit ball. Nbw, if we can read the signs correctly, the fans' taste has gone full cycle. The high-scoring game has lost its fascination and nothing comes nearer packing a park than the prospect of a duel between a pair of shutout artists. A great many persons, including Commis sioner Ford Frick, feel that any thing which might be done to help the pitchers and cut down the flow of mound replacements would be a godsend.

The McKenzie and its tributaries and the North Umpqua offer that outlook. Only fishing spot, rated "excellent" by the commission is Central Oregon's Blue Lake.

Fishing is slow in most of the Southern Willamette Valley. McKenzie River and tribu taries should be very good. Clear and Linton lakes are expected to be fairly good. Southwest Water and weather conditions aire cold in the Rogue River Basin, making both salmon and trout fish ing poor. Winchester Bay salmon angling is fair to good. Trout angling fair to good on both bait and flies in the Williams River. lrout angling in the South fork of Coquille River good on flies, fair on bait. Trout angling is very good on flies in North Umpqua above Rock Creek, slow below. South and Main Umpqua are slow.
