All you duffers and divot
diggers, (good golfers too,) who
have been worrying about what
havoc the rubber shortage is
going to do to your future golf
games can start getting a little
sleep nights now. All you have
to do is save the old balls you
now have, as J. W. Sproul, man
ager of golf ball sales for a
large rubber company - claims
a new method for re-processing
used balls will be put into
effect by the company
"They'll look like new, will
have good playing qualities and
will give service practically
equal to new balls," says
Sproul. "The re-processing will
be accomplished without using
any materials on the restricted
list"
The Process
When balls are received for re
processing, they will be inspect
d and those which are out of
shape, too old or too badly cut,
will be discarded. They will be
classified according to construc
tion, the old covers removed and
new covers moulded on the balls
The cover will be of Tjipetir, a
special form of Balata, (which
Webster says is "the juice from
West Indian tree which when j
dried forms an elestic gum,") and
- the cover will be identical to the
covers on new balls. The re-pro
cessed ball will then be finished,
painted, and marked with its
proper brand name, depending on
its construction. The word "Re
Processed; will be branded on
the cover to distinguish it from
a new ball of the same brand.
How to Get Them
When the plan is put' into ef
fect, players will be asked to
torn in used balls to their re
spective golf professionals. Indi
viduals are asked not to send balls
to the company direct, because no
provision will be made for this
service direct to consumer. The
pros will return the used balls to
the rubber company as sizeable
lots are accumulated, supplying
the players in .turn with the
taew" balls.
(Wonder If this Tjipetir stuff
will work on tires could be.)

Wire Talks
Sportsmen; Is Optimistic
On 1942 Season Outlook
SILVERTON As far as
concerned there will be a hunting season next falL In the
opinion of Frank B- Wire, who Saturday, on the 10th anniversary
of his work with the commission, was again appointed state game
supervisor for another five years.
Wire was guest speaker at the
Silverton chapter of the Izaak
Walton league here Monday night
There may be certain restrict
ed areas for both fishing and
hunting, he said, but a regular
season in both was, as far as ho
could see now, ontte certain.
Wire pointed out that certain
strategic areas near Portland
were being restricted in the
fishing season and other restric
tions might be placed on hunt
ing. Deer hunting might be set back
from September '13 to early Octo
ber to lessen fire danger in case
of a dry season. The antelope sea
son might bo run consecutively
with the deer season to conserve
on tires and time. Wire believed
mat the elk season would remain
about the same and that the China
pheasant season would likely open
around October 15 and perhaps
carry on for a week. He did not
particularly favor tho regulation
of the opening hour each day as
in his opinion this frequently
worked a hardship upon the law-
abiding sportsman.
Clark Bachman, local Ixaak
Walton league chairman, pre
sided, and during the short busi
ness meeting held prior to
Wire's talk, the local chapter
went on record as favoring a
full week of pheasant hunting
with a bag limit of two cocks
a day, as favoring an open quail
season to correspond with the
pheasant season and suggested
a bear season corresponding
with the deer season.

Armory Match
Bulldog Jackson was looking for
trouble in Tuesday night's wres
tling matches at tho armory and
got more' than ho bargained for.
In the main event he made Cres
well Tex Hager say uncle for the
third and winning falL but not
content to just let it go there, the
Bulldog clipped the referee with a
right cross and pounced on prone
Hager to dole out more punish
ment. In tho ensuing free-for-all,
Hager was awarded tho match on
a foul and an unidentified but
irate feminine fan finally helped
the roundly booed Bulldog to the
dressing room with well-aimed
whacks with her large purse.
Jackson's trouble prowl start
ed in tho curtain-raiser, daring
which ho was a spectator at
ringside. Ernie Piluso, subbing
for Noel Franklin, and Milt Ol
son drew in tho opener, but
only after Piluso became hked
by remarks pasesd by Jackson,
jumped from the ring and went
at lt with the Bulldog. A match
between these two is expected.
The semi-windup between
Buck Davidson and Jack Kizer
went to dirty Buck after each had
a fall. As usual, Davidson drew
tho boos with his dirty stuff, and
it was a badly beaten Kizer who
left the ring after the meanle took
the final fall when the ref stopped
the brutal match.

Gala .Opening Day In
8 Big League Parks
Yanks Same Old Bombers, Buins
Same; Old Dodgers, Terrific Ted
Same Old Williams as Bell Rings
By JUDSON BAILEY
NEW YORK, April 14 -tfP- Baseball opened its doors for 1941
in eight big league parks Tuesday 'and 190,778 fans poured In to
see their favorites while a countless muluuide of other fans followed
their teams from afar.
It was a gala getaway for tho
New York Yankees and Brooklyn
Dodgers, last year's world series
rivals and for tho opening day's
other winners tho Boston Red
Sox, Cleveland Indais and St
Louis Browns in the American
oaguo and : the Pittsburgh Pi
rates, Boston Braves and Chicago
Cubs in tho. National league.
Bed Buffing, 87-year-old
righthander, started his 18th
season under tho big top by
giving Vice President Wallace
and 31,00t tans at Washington
a magnificent one-man show la
shutting out the Senators 7 to t.
The husky, stout hearted vet
eran allowed only three singles
and gave up one walk without
ever letting a rival get past first
base. In addition, he made two
of the world champions' ten hits
and knocked home two runs in
a second inning uprising that as
sured victory.
Bob Muncrief, another big
righthander of whom much is
expected this season, rivaled
this performance by pitching
the Browns to a 3 to 0 three
hit triumph over the White Sox
at Chicago. Muncrief gave no
passes, allowed no runners past
first and faced only 28 men,
one less than Ruffing. John
Rigney gave a strong rebuttal,
yielding only five hits, and the
game was a 1-8 affair . until
the ninth.
Ted Williams provided a differ
ent kind of an opening day spec
tacle by collecting a home run
and three singles to drive in five
tallies as the Red Sox overwhelm
ed the Philadelphia Athletics,
to 3.
Hhis homer came with two on
in the first inning and sparked
the Red Sockers to the day's big
gest barrage 14 hits.
The Indians gave their new
manager, 24-year old Lou Bou-
dreau, a rousing sendoff with
a 5 to X victory over the Tigers
at Detroit Among their 13 hits
were a home run, double and
single by rookie Les Fleming
and a homer by Ken Keltner.
The Dodgers, as might be ex
pected, provided the daffiest ball
