Phoenix will play Las Cruces.
N. M., tonight for a berth in the
National American Legion tourney
in Hastings, Neb., Sept. 6-10. '
Showing a marked change over
the opening night game with
Roseburg last Friday, two Phoe

Roseburg club.. ...
Pitcher Throws Wild
Phoenix grabbed a 3-0 lead in
the first when a pair of over
throws on pickoff attempts let in
all-three runs.
Roseburg starting pitcher John
Livingston, with the bases load
ed, threw the ball into centerfield
on an attempted pickoff at second
base, allowing one run to tally.
Then trying to pick Bob Vaien
zula off third base. Livingston
again threw wild, letting in two
more runs,
Roseburg pulled into the lead
with four-run fourth inning
Phoenix pitcher Bob ; Gordon
walked the lead-off hitter. Gene
Wagner after striking out eight of
the' first 10 men to face him. Al
ter Gordon fanned the next batter,
Roseburg found the range.
' Las Crucas Crippled
Les Boener singled and was fol
lowed by a run-producing single
by Jim Booth. Bogner scored on
an overthrow by the Phoenix left'
fielder on Booth's single. After
another walk, George Spees sin
gled to score booth. The final runs
tallied when Gordon threw wild to
first on an easy ground ball. Then
relief pitcher Doug Westley came
on and fanned the next two hit
ters.
Gordon struck out 10 and West
Icy fanned eight for the Arizona
club.
Phoenix sewed up the contest in
the fifth with seven runs.
Four singles, a double, three
walks and two Roseburg errors
were mixed to get the seven tal
lies. Las Cruces. Phoenix's foe to

Deer Permits,
Tags Still
Available
The game commission reminds
hunters today that permits are
still available in many game
management units for hunting
either-sex deer and tags available
in three of the controlled deer
hunts. . .
. Permit quotas have been reached
irt 21 units and hunters are asked
not to apply for these filled areas.
The filled units Include Applegate,
Butte Fa'ls, Clatsop, Deschutes.
Fort Rock, Green Springs, Grizzly,
Heppner, Klamath, Maupin,
Maury, Metolius, Ochoco, Paulina,
Sherman, Silver Lake, Trask,
ITkiah, Umatilla, Wasco, and
Wilson. The Umatilla was the
most recent unit to fill.
Controlled season deer tags are
still available in the Cedar Creek
area of Tillamook county and in
the Wallowa Pack and Snake River
Pack areas of Wallowa county.
A. $5.00 fee must accompany all
applications for the controlled tags.
Hunters are advised that they
are eligible to apply 'or one unit
deer permit and one controlled
deer tag for use during the coming
season. The unit permit allows
the hunter to take an animal of
either sex on his regular deer tag
during the time and place specified
on the permit; the $5.00 tag allows
the hunter to take an additional
deer during the time and place
specified on the controlled season
tag. 1
All permits or tags are being

by the next season he was with
Chicago for another pair of
second place finishes. Provoking
the talk this season that another
runnerup spot, if he was that
lucky, still would mean his de
mise.
No Pep Talks
. Yet the good senor curreatly is
Droving that "nice guys" don't
have to finish last.
Lopez, whose parents emigrated
from Madrid to his native lam
pa. Fla.. handles his players "like
human beings and adults." There
are no pep talks and no public
dressings down. 1
"I treat them as I always want
ed to be treated." he shrugs
"Pep talks may be all right in
football, where you have to get
your team 'up' for a few games.
But over the long baseball sea
son it is better if they are re
laxed. And, after all, they arc
adults and, even when I think
they make a mistake. I like to
hear their reasoning. Maybe
they're right and I m wrong.
The payoff usually has been
maximum production with a min
imum of talent.
Star Back
was a key player who could be
used on either the defensive . or
offensive units. Moegle has played
well as an offensive back, a po
sition he was switched to after
rookies Ed Dove and Dave Baker
took over his defensive duties.
Dillon Returns
"Moegle just wants to play foot-
bell," the coach said when asked
if the former Rice star had ask
ed to play more on offense. "He'll
play anywhere wecan use him"
Hickey added.
Meanwhile, the Green Bay
Packers, the surprise team of the
National Football League exhibi
tion season, looked forward to the
arrival of defensive halfback
Bobby Dillon, who has changed
his mind again about retiring.
Dillon notified the club of his
retirement plans before the train
ing period got underway, but ap
parently has had a change of
heart. He is expected to join the
Packers in Green Bay today.
Halas Expects Trouble
Owner-coach . George . Halas of
the Chicago Bears,- ever a pessi
mist, said he expected big trouble
from the Washington Redskins,
the Bears' next exhibition op
ponents, Saturday at Jacksonville,
Fla. . .
Halas pointed to the fact that
the Redskins gained 550 yards
against the Los Angeles Rams
whom they beat 23-21 a week ago.
The Bears picked up 332 yards en
route to a 54-17 victory over the
Pittsburgh Steelers last Saturday.
The Bears came out of that
game with one casualty. Defen
sive back Vic Zucco. a three-year
veteran, suffered a cracked collar
bone and will be out for about
four weeks.
The Detroit Lions released five
players, four of them rookies to
get their rccter down to 42.

who was acquired, in a deal with
the Redskins, and rookies Ron

Pacific Flyway Exempt
WASHINGTON U'l'H The
Fish and Wildlife Service an
nounced today a drastic curtuil
ment in the 1939-60 duck hunting
season for all tlyways except the
Pacific.
Because of sharp reductions in
the duck population generally.
the most reotnetive hunting rules
since 1!W7 have been adopted for
the coming season.
The Pacific flyway was ex
empted because flocks there are
expected to be larger than in
other areas.
Daniel J. Janzen, director of
the Interior Department's Bu
reau of Fisheries and Wildlife,
said the curtailment elsewhere
applies to shooling hours and bag
and possession limits as well as
to the season itself.
The object, he said, is to cut
the annual kill by one-third to
one-half. ,
Exceptions were Alaska. Mon
tana and Wyoming, which feed
the Pacific flyway. Production
there was better than last year.
The Pacific Flyway which in
cludes Arizona, California, Idaho,
Nevada. Oregon. Utah, and Wash
ington, will have an open season
on ducks, geese 1 except Ross'
geese1, coots, and gallinues not
to exceed W days between Oct.
