Huge Medford Crowd
Sees Salem Nip 'Em's
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Salem and Eugene moved to
Medford Monday night to make
up a raincd-out Northwest League
baseball game and drew one of
the largest turnouts of the season
a crowd estimated unofficially
at 2,000.
The fans overflowed the stands
and moved onto the field in front
of the bleachers to watch as
Salem edged the Emeralds 3 2 to
gain half a game on the NWL
field.
Other teams were idle but the
league returns to its full schedule
Tuesday night with Salem at Eu
gene, fri-Citics at Wenatchee and
Yakima at Lowiston.
League directors, hoping to ex
pand the six-team league, had set
up the Medford game, noting that
if attendance proved favorable,
that city and Klamath Falls might
be considered as future members
of the Class B circuit.
Eugene took a 2-1 lead in the
second and held it until the eighth
when Jim Barbieri knotted the
score with an inside-the-park hom
er. Salem won it in the ninth on a
walk, a sacrifice and t double by
Irv Knowlcs.

Manager Danny Murtaugh gave
Law a long rest after he got hurt
in April. Since then, Law ha
made a few starts and failed to
go the distance. He has picked up
two victories.
He would do all right for five
or six innings, then the arm would
tighten up.
"It gets so darn sore I can't do
anything," Vernon explained. "1
can't throw hard, I can't throw a
curve, I can't follow through. It
even hurls several hours after a
game."
Doctors said the trouble is a
torn rotator muscle in the right
shoulder.
Law said he has done every
thing to cure the trouble hard
exercise at times and a lot of rest
at others but nothing seems to
help.
"I just don't know what's wrong
and I don't think anyone else docs
cither," he said.
"I'm hoping the warm weather
will help the arm. If it doesn't, 1
don't know what I'll do."

Listen's Manager
Says Impersonating
Charge A Mistake
PHILADELPHIA (AP) An
angry George Katz, manager of
heavyweight -Sonny Liston, said
today he doesn't think the No. 1
championship contender will be
convicted of charges of imperson
ating a police officer because
the whole thing was a mistake."
Katz said, too, that he didn't
think Liston's latest in a series of
squabbles with the law Monday
would hurt his chances for a shot
at Floyd Patterson's heavyweight
title.
Katz took exception to a state
ment by Arch Hindman, execu
tive secretary of the National
Boxing Association and former
oresident of the group.
Hindman said Monday night
from his home in Hagerstown.
Ind., that "if Liston is guilty of
that kind of crime, he has no
business in boxing."
Kati Angered
Katz blew up al Hindman's
statement, saying:
"It's about time I got a little
burned up. Nobody says anything
about the good things Liston docs
like playing baseball with kids.
Nobody's holy. Anybody's liable
to get into trouble. You just can't
come out with a statement that
you think somebody ought to be
knocked out of boxing."
The charge against Liston was
brought after two men stopped
Mrs. Dolores Ellis, 29, of subur
ban Lansdowne, as she drove
through the lonely reaches of
Fairmount Tark before dawn
Monday.
Mrs. Ellis, who was not harmed,
id she was under the impres
sion she had been halted by po
lice.
She and the two men are Ne-
ornns.
"I think the whole thing was a
mistake," said Katz. "They (Lis
ton and Isaac Cooper) didn't say
they were officers. Mr. Hinaman
got the wrong information. They
thought they knew this person.
Sonny is a fun-loving person who
likes to play pranks."

CLEVELAND (AP) Mickey
Mantle, Roger Maris & Co. lead
the New York Yankees into Cleve
land tonight for a three-game
showdown series with the first
place Indians.
The Yanks are on a five-game
winning streak and have cut the
Tribe's lead to one game. A vic
tory tonight would put the de
fending American League champs
in front by .005.
The New Yorkers scored a 3-1
victory over Los Angeles in Yan
kee Stadium Monday night for
their 11th win in the last dozen
contests, while the Indians
dropped a 7-5 decision in 10 in
nings to Kansas City.
Cleveland has won 13 of 16, but
all three losses have come in the
last six games.
A somewhat neutral observer,
Kansas City Manager Joe Gor
don, looks for a New York-Cleveland
dogfight all the way for the
pennant.
"The Indians convinced me
they'll be in the race all the
way," said Gordon, who managed
the Tribe last season. "They have
that pitching depth.
"The Yankees have the edge In
hitting, but this club can scare
you at the plate, too."
Maris has 20 homers and 47
runs batted in and Mantle has
socked 18 homers and driven in 44
runs.

production in the spring of 1992.
70,000 Planted
The first to go into stcelhead
production was also in Douglas
County, lt was the 35-acre Whis
tler's Bend impoundment. A total
70,000 steelhcad fry was planted
in the impoundment in May. At
migratory size these young steel
head will be counted, marked and
released into the Umpqua system.
Schneider said the completion of
Hemlock Meadows and Lake Coun
ty's Cottonwood Meadows im
poundments will make a total of
seven impoundments constructed
or under construction by the Game
Commission within the past two
years, built specifically for fishery
purposes. Four of the impound
ments provide some 170 surfacn
acres of trout angling waters for
Oregon fishermen, while the other
three, including the two in Doug
las County, are to be used for
rearing salmon and stcelhead
alone.
Only one Impoundment built by
the commission is currently avail,
able to anglers. This is Trillium
Lake, with 55-acres of surface wa
ter just off the Ml. Hood High
way near Government Camp. Tha
other completed impoundment is
76-acre Medco pond located in thti
upper Rogue River area.
Under construction at the pres
ent time is Lofton Reservoir, loca
ted between Klamath Falls and
Lakevicw. It will be completed
within a few weeks.
Bids have already been let for
Bull Prairie Reservoir located
south of Heppncr in the Umatilla
National Forest, with constfuction
of this 25-acre trout lake sched

Director Schneider said the
Game Commission is continuing
its investigations of other impound
ment sites to provide new fishing
waters for Oregon anglers. He said
several have been located that
show exceptional promise.
