Call Your Shots, Please, Gents Personal plea to irate fans who don't like decisions rendered on soldier punch parties in local cauliflower court: Please, sires, if you must toss the pop bottles, be sure they land on the leeward side of press row.

Can't say we blame the grenade tossers last week despite the chance they take on creasing somebody's skull, as the decision ren dered in the "Jitterbug" Collins-Johnny Sennino session was a trifle on the steenko side. ' - : The unpopular nod was about the only thing wrong with the entire show, however. There wasn't a mismatch in the whole she bang, probably due to the fact the Seagulls and Mountaineers had met before and by being rematched gave the matchmakers an op portunity to pair the right men for the right bouts. And the Legion fathers need look no longer for a capable replacement for departed Frisco Edwards as referee for their frolics. Packy McFarland filled the bill to the proverbial T Friday ' and in one Instance particularly showed he knew what he was doing. In spite of Johnny Cruikshank's let me at im pleas and the "let 'em fight" from the crowd, McFarland. rightly halted all proceedings In the main event. That gash over Cruik shank's peeper looked like someone hit him with an axe. Heavy Winter Toll on Deer Family Reports gathered through "The Forest Log" say that various sections of eastern Oregon have suffered heavily throughout the winter in the loss of mule deer. Snow: and coyotes are blamed. In the Catherine creek district of Union county there usually has been an over-population of deer. On a recent trip Into the area L. C Morehead, district warden, and Clarence Yonmans, Inspector, saw 208 starving deer in seven miles along Catherine; creek. - Eight deer were dead along the right of way. It has been reported that many carcasses of deer, evidently the result of coyote work, and numerous live deer all said to be in poor ' condition are in the district west of Suplee on the lower Crooked ' river. " ' M. E. Crawford, district warden of the Black Butte State ' Forest Protective unit, recently reported varying deer conditions in that area. . ,;;:: ;. s: On the other hand, the deer in the Grand Ronde district are said to be in good condition, and according to Crawford, he recently counted some 130 In the Stevenson mountain sector northeast of Prineville, all of which were in excellent shape. No, the Item says nothing about the possibilities of a deer season next fall, or about obtaining ammunition should there . be one.
