Big Run Of Chinook Salmon Tallied At Winchester Dam A record run of spring chinook salmon was tallied over the Game Commission counting station at Winchester dam during the last two weeks of July, according to the report from the commission's Southwest Regional Office at Rose burg. The count of 197 adult fish brought the season total to 7,626, highest on record and more than ever tallied for a full season, since counting started in 1946. Records indicate that from five to eight per cent of the total migration is still to come. Movement of summer steelhead was somewhat disappointing, with 268 fish counted for the two-week period, for a total of 1,177, slight ly below average for the date. Considerable variation in the movement of these fish, however, is noted throughout the years, and it is hoped the run will increase in tempo. An optimistic outlook is found in the migration of salmon trout (searun cutthroats) with 274 for the period and 512 for the season to date, one of the best counts in late years. In addition to game fish, 437 squawfish (chubs) and 20,922 suck ers have been counted through the station so far this year. It is the largest run of suckers ever expe rienced. The previous high count was in 1954 when 14,502 fish were listed. The low count of suckers was 265 fish in 1953. Squawfish have ranged in numbers from 47 in 1955 to 2,109 in 1953. Comparative figures on game fish counts are reported as follows: By BROWNIE VALDEZ Totel Per cent Tear Period ef throueh Tolet of ren bv July 16-3L Julr 31 run July SI adults) 1946 39 1,903 1,974 96.4 1947 58 2,833 2,994 94.6 1948 31 2,159 2,245 96.2 1949 18 2,046 2,109 97.0 1950 34 1,930 2,044 94.4 1951 78 2,722 2,940 92.6 1952 79 4,488 4.702 95.5 1953 47 4,107 ' 4,310 98.3 1954 68 6,536 6.613 98.8 1955 174 5,700 6,266 91.0 1956 197 7,626 lacks) 1946 35 513 533 96.2 1947 6 744 817 91.1 1948 7 229 248 92.3 1949 1 , 476 484 98.3 1950 12 272 277 98.2 1951 37 588 677 86.9 1952 1 554 559 99.1 1953 7 441 521 84.6 1954 45 1,517 1,576 96.3 1955 16 1,345 1,378 97.6 1956 36 1,385 d 1946 411 1,915 3,361 57.0 1947 997 2,785 5,513 54.4 1948 558 1,983 2,762 71.8 1949 268 1,050 1,672 62.8 1950 254 1,670 2,835 58.9 1951 498 1,820 v 3,361 54.2 1952 655 3,301 4,443 77.0 1953 204 1,009 2,844 35.5 1954 407 2,004 3,155 63.5 1955 478 2,102 3,430 61.3 1956 268 1,177 (salmon trout) 1946 562 652 1,138 57.3 1947 477 553 974 56.8 1948 70 74 437 16.9 1949 30 58 493 11.8 1950 53 113 664 17.0 1951 251 275 1,508 18.2 1952 76 149 761 19.6 1953 ,, 85 85 1,838 4.6 1954 222 547 706 77.5 1955 71 171 960 17.8 1956 274 512 Babe Zaharias Under Surgeon's Knife Again GALVESTON, Tex.

PLANNED VACATIONS CALL OR 3-5077 Lewis Travel Service Hotel Umpqua Lobby American Jockey Near World Winning Mark DEL MAR, Calif. (1 Johnny Longden is rapidly closing in on England's Gordon Richards' world record of 4,870 winners. The veteran jockey rode five winners at Del Mar Monday for nine in two racing days to boost his lifetime total in 29 years of riding to 4,826 just 44 short of Richards' mark. Don White, baseball coach at Roseburg High School during the school term and a moundsman for the Medford Cheney Studs in the summer months, chalked up his fifth win of the year Saturday afternoon at Medford with a 14-4 win over the tough Coos Bay North Bend Southern Oregon League entry. The Medford nine leads the league with a 14-7 record followed by Drain in second with 12-9. ... The Kentucky Derby of harness racing, the Hambletoman, will be broadcast over Roseburg radio station KRNR from Goshen, N. Y., Wednesday between 2:15 and 2:30 p.m. ... ONE OF THE MOST unhappy Legion baseball coaches through out the state is Jim Partlow of Lincoln High School of Portland. Jim is also the traveling secretary for the Oregon State Ameri can Junior Legion baseball pro gram, and, along with Herb Peter son, state Legion baseball chair man, has been taking in the local championship playoffs between The Dalles and Roseburg. We had a very enjoyable talk with the two gents during our weekend trip to The Dalles to watch our favorite sons in battle. Or possibly we should say' it was an enjoyable session until we opened our big mouth on the sub ject of Mickey Lolich, Partlow's prize lefty at Lincoln. MicKcy, as mosi people Know, hurled the Lincoln High School baseball team into the state class A championship over the potenet Medford team from southern Ore gon in a game that went for ex tra innings. He had more than one of the scouts on hand taking a second look. BETTER YET, the youthful lad is just 15 years old and is more than capable of taking care of himself while on the mound, as was shown in the championship contest. The eager coach was all set on taking his Legion team to the state finals behind the pitching of his prize lefty. At least he thought so, until Lolich's parents informed him that Mickey was committed to play another year in the Babe Ruth League with a certain auto firm in the Rose City. The shock was so great to Partlow that he has failed to re cover from the ordeal yet. His only comment was: "In all my years of coaching, this is the first time that a lad has been held back into a lower class of ball. . ." Don't feel bad, Jim. He will be too old next year to take part in Babe Ruth ball. However, it would be just his luck for the family to pick up stakes and move into another area come next ball season . . . While glancing over the visiting The Dalles Legion roster we happened to notice that three of its hurlers are listed as 15-year- olds. John Heldt, the strong right hander who hurled the Saturday win over Roseburg is one. Bill Booth, the reliefer who was tagged with the loss Friday, is anotner, and Pete Briles is the third. Dick Foley, the fleet-footed right fielder who made several spectacular catches from his po sition Saturday night and also bats in the leadoff spot, is .the baby of the team. Foley is listed at 14 years old. it sorta looks iiKe ine uaues miuht continue its reign as the top team of the slate for several years to come . . . WHILE PLAYING a round of golf at The Dalles Country Club last Saturday with Bill Harper, Bob Easter, Don Severson and Pat and Lee Wimberly, we came with in a whisker of witnessing a hole-in-one. The shot of which we speak, according to Pat, who was the only one in the crowd to keep an eye on the ball, actually hit the pin and bounced back about six inches from the hole, we are told by some of the old-time golfers that some of the clubs around the country recognize this as a ace shot . . . TONIGHT'S legion encounter between Roseburg and The Dalles could well be the final for the year if the local lads don't pull out of their fumblitis habits. I don't mind seeing a team get beat on base hits, but when it kicks ball games away such as has been happening in the last two outings, this is a horse of a different color. The lads are definitely not as bad as the records show, but mis takes tonight could prove very costly ... ' Let's all get out tonight and give the lads our full support . . .

Then Tri-City came to bat, and with the bases loaded Bob Garcia homered to bring in four of the five runs scored before the third out was made.
