(Clarion photo) . - in l LIU J BERT LA BRCCIIERIE Voice-of-the-people dept: Del Smith, the Junior baseball loop umpiring man who raises those delicious melons on his Dayton farm, has this to say on the proposed moving of such as diamonds and fences at Waters park: "Just got back from an elk hunting trip have a six point 400-pound trophy, too and heard there was a plan in mind to make Waters park a little smaller, pulling the diamond in closer 4o the stands. You can tell them for me it is Just right as it is. X don't like a ball game in which a good clean double goes for a home run due to the smallness of the park. When the balls are once more 'alive', there will be many home runs, I'm sure. Also, I see where the fans are wonder ing about new Salem Manager Tony Patch. I don't believe they need to wonder at all. I think Tony ran take care of any WIL baseball game I've ever teen. We . must remember the WIL is no Coast or major league." . . ; George' Emigh, take note . . . As for Mr. Smith, he muit've missed the edi-, tion In which . Emigh said no abrupt changes! were due at Wat ers next yearj Incidentally, Emigh also has a few words in defense of Mr. Patch.' to wit: "Nobody ever heard of Dill Skiff when Seattle got him for a manager, but I'd say he done pretty well." , . . And how! Out of the PCL money only once ince he signed on with Emil , Sick, to be exact Speaking of the Senators business boss, those villagers who've been asking, -What does this guy Emigh look like?" can find out for themselves tonight by attending . the Viking Klamath Falls hoop mix at the Villa. Emigh is to be one of the officials. Tornado Players VUit UCLA, Movie Studio Tattle tale; Football filberts who tag UCLA as the up-and-coming college on the jcoast might be interested to learn that Medford Black Tornado troupers Jim Cave, center; Darrell Riggs, end, and Jerry Clark, Glenn Bostwick and Bob Watson, backs, were visitors on the Bruin campus not long ago. PCC Commish Vic Schmidt might be somewhat interested also, although we surmise the surprise conven tion was all in order and above deck level. The kids were treated royally and in typical southern California style eat for the UCS-UCLA and Third Air Force-Fourth Air Force games, complete movies of the UCLA-St Mary's thriller and an extensive tour through a movie studio, the latter the topmost item on the So. CaL chamber of commerce, list Too bad Oregon and Oregon State aren't linked hand In hand with such glitter and glamour as inducement for high school hot shots. But then such has always been a bitter pill for UO's and OSC's. Should anything counterfeit come of the Medford-to-Westwood Jaunt, however, don't blame the Tornado kids.

A speck of elaboration comes from Bruce Nelson, our former Woodburn correspondent, now " at Del Monte's naval training school. , Td read of Young," pens Nelson, "but now I've seen him and want, to say that no one ever told a'lie about that guy. He's so fast you can naraiy see him go. And -what a team they have! For instant Jim Stufrt, the former Oregon lineman who made a couple, of All American teams in his day, is a measly. third, stringer for the Blue jackets now."
