ITiSq Open Battles Expected for State' Track Titles at Corvallis
OREGON STATE COLLEGE,
Corvallis - (Special) - Officials in
charge of the annual Oregon High
School Track meets here Friday
and Saturday predict a wide open
scrap for both the Class A and
B championships. Medford's Black
Tornado has won the Class A title
the last four straight years. But
last week Medford was defeated
by Grants Pass in their district
finals, and the Tornado doesn't
appear to have manpower enough
to make it five in a row here.
Grants Pass could win it here.l
Union's Bobcats won the Class
B title last year, beating out Plea
sant HilL Salem finished second
to Medford in Class A in 1951. but
the Vikings are expected to finish
far down the list this year.
The Gervais High Cougars of
District 7-B showed power in win
ning their district title last week,
and could conceivably make a

field events starting at 12:30 p. m.

and mile, Newport's Don Cloe in
the two hurdles events, Martin
Pedigo of Hermlston in the broad
Jump and 100-yard dash, and
Bud Wilkins of Newport in the
100 and 220. Newport's 1-2 punch
of Cloe and Wilkins could bring
the Cubs many points toward the

Wobbling type lure with single Siwash hook replacing treble hook on
back end and with additional single hook on front of lure. This will
often prove a cure for missed fish that strike at front end of lure.
By DON HARGER
We tried our hand at angling last weekend, for the first time
this season. Having graduated from crutches to a cane, we thought
it might be possible to whip a fly on the water. We finally gave it
up as a bad job after our "walking stick" sunk a few Inches into
the stream leaving us with a tilt that would shame the Tower of
Pisa. It was enjoyable, however, to get out into the fresh air
of the central Oregon country and absorb some nice warm sun
shine. We watched Mrs. Goin After 'Em disappear around a bend
in the river and fully expected her to return with a few trout. Nothing
doing. The fish would not cooperate. Only one trout came to her
fly and she missed that one. Anyway, the steak we had in Redmond
was much more palatable than a trout would have been.
A letter from our rood friend Ray Stose of 1090 Cascade
Drive, Salem, complains bitterly about not being able to hook
cutthroat trout on the Salmon river with treble hook spinning
lures. According to Ray there were lots of fish and lots of strikes
but nothing doing on the hooking . Many of the spinning en
thusiasts have long since discovered that the hooking and holding
of fish with spinning lures will be greatly improved by the chang
ing of the treble hook to a single Siwash hook.
Addition of Smaller Single Hook Helps Too
TKoro ic nrnthpr mpthoH nt hookins those annoying fish that keep
nn smnrkin? a wobbling snoon to
tho trhif Vinr.k with a mtiltIp Siwash. a smaller single hook is fasten
ed to the head end of the lure. It may be fastened directly to the little
safety snap swivel as pictured in the sketch at head of this janitorial
column. .
Very often trout will strike at the front of the lure as it is their
normal habit to swallow a minnow head first. This is especially
true of black bass but occurs frequently among the various trouts.
Many of the Eastern anglers who use streamers a lot in fish
ing for small-mouth bass as well as for Eastern brook trout and
' landlocked salmon, quite often will have their streamer flies
dressed with a short shank hook fastened to the top of the regu
lar Ion? shank hook, only with the point facing upward. This
shorter front hook will on many occasions, be responsible for
hooking better than 75 percent of the fish that are taken.
We would also like to point out that in using the fine mono
filament lines for spinning, there is quite a lot of stretch in the line
when the angler strikes to set a hook. It takes just three times the
foi-ce to set a treble hook as it does to set a single hook. Too, there
is good chance for leverage on a treble hook that will enable a fish
to ftrow a lure once he may be hooked. Take a tip from the off
shore commercial fisherman. You will rarely see him use anything
bu a single Siwash hook.
Silteoos Lake Yielding Bass and Crappie
We bow our heads in embarrassment over our "slight" error
in last week's column on the mention of bass and crappie in
Tenmile Lake. We hasten to correct the mention and change the
name of the lake to Silteoos. Otherwise, things stand as stated.
Just toss a fly out and expect a crappie or a bass to snatch it
away.
As a parting thought, your fishing janitor was quite surprised
on the final outcome of the case of the ammoniated salmon in the
Santiam River last year. Lack of evidence caused the charges to
be dismissed.
We feel that it is not so much the loss of the salmon due
to "accidental" discharge of ammonia into the Santiam as It Is
the continued pollution of the waters which started long before
the salmon Incident. The continued pollution of the Santiam
river with the milky and slimy silt from cement washings is ...
causing far greater damage than the loss of a few salmon.
Miles of river bed that used to produce acquatic insect life are
now barren of "bug" hatches. Seemingly, no one is responsible
for this suitation. It Just keeps on with no one knowing a thing
about it.

An outburst of three runs in the bottom of the ninth inning last
night by the town Senators wasn't quite enough at Waters Field, and
the resident nine dropped their series finale with the Vancouver
Caps, 8-7. The tieing and winning runs were on the sacks, but Negro
Relief Pitcher Eddie Locke whiffed Dick Bartle to douse a fire that
had threatened to bring the Salems a sweep of the two-game stand.
Now dropped back into the second division after another brief
visit to the sunnier side of the standings, the Senators tonight open a
fresh series, one of four games, with the Yakima Bears. The Bears
play here tonight, Saturday night and twice Sunday in a 2 p. m. dou
bleheader. Tonight is to be the Salem Police Department's "Third Base

OREGON STATE COLLEGE -(Special)
- A four game baseball
series that very likely will deter
mine the 1952 northern division
champion will get underway here
Saturday afternoon when the Ore
gon Webfoots invade Coleman
Field to meet the defending champion-Oregon
State Beavers.
The second game of the aeries
is slated for Eugene next Mon
day afternoon with the final pair
on May 23 and 24.
Going into the final series,
Ralph Coleman's Orange club
holds a half-game lead over the
Ducks with an 8-4 mark compar
ed to Oregon's 7-4 mark. Just a
half game behind Oregon and still
in strong contention Is darkhorse
Washington at 7-3. However, all
four of the Huskies remaining
contests are in the Inland Empire
against Idaho and Washington
State.
In a two-game pre-season series
the old rivals broke even with Ore
gon State posting a 4-1 victory
at Eugene and Oregon coming
back strong to trounce the Beav
ers, 12-5, at Corvallis.
Don White, senior left hander,
probably will be Coleman's mound
choice for the series opener while
Don Siegmund, also a southpaw,
is likely to hurl for the Ducks.
Remainder of the Orange line
up will be John Thomas, catcher;
Jay Dean or Jim Rugglos, first
base; Danny Johnston, second
base; Cub Houck, third base; Bob
by Buob or Chuck Fisk, shortstop;
Dwane Helbig, left field; Captain
Peter Goodbrod. center field: and

14 Hits for Caps
Vancouver put the slug on three
Senator flingers last night, biffing
14 hits, at least one coming in ev
ery inning but the ninth. Sal De
George, again not his real pitch
ing self, was the starter and loser.
He gave up four runs on five hits
before he left in the third inning,
yielding to Righthander Ted Ed
munds. Larry Mann twirled the
final three frames, all scoreless.
Vancouver picked DeGeorge for
a single run in the first inning,
but Salem wiped that out but
quickly in its half of the heat off
Righthander Bud GuMborg. He
gave a single to Boss Hugh Luby,
and Gene Tanselli was safe when
an error was made on a bouncer
that could have been turned into
a double play.
Then up stepped Andy (Roches
ter) Anderson to accomplish what
Salem fans have been waiting for
him to do bust one out of the
arena. He did it, a towering smash
off a Guldborg screw ball that
disappeared far over the Roberts
Ad in deep right-center. The wal
lop, good for three runs, was the
first Senator homer of the season,
in 23 games.
Nelson Drives in Run
Salem got to Guldborg for a
loner in the sixth, Bob Nelson
driving it in with a sharp single.
But the Solons were Etill 8-4 be
hind at this poi it as the Caps
made merry with the local pitch
ing. It was still 8-4 in the lower por
tion of the ninth when Luby dou
bled to left with one out. Tanselli
was hit by a pitch and Anderson
walked. Johnny Moore lined a
single to left for one run, and that
was all for Guldborg.
Locke was greeted by a scream
ing single to center by Curt
Schmidt, good for two more runs,
and "The Thrush's" third bingle
of the game. This put Moore on
second. Nelson grounded hard to
Jim Wert at first base, and Wert
forced Schmidt at second, leaving
runners at first and third. But
Bartle as next hitter couldn't con
nect and the rally died.
DeOeorge helped end his stint
when In the second inning, as he
was trying to bunt, he fouled a
pitch against his shin. The blow
took Its toll in the next inning,
when he was relieved by Ed
munds. A costly Salem error in the
fourth netted three unearned runs
for th rrv tn WQiv.
ior the Caps, two walks and two
nits coming after the boot which
would have been the third out . . .
Luby kept up his terrific hitting
by smacking a single along with
led the Solon attack, however.

pitched a no-hit, no-run game.
But Harry Simpson of the

Just before Thursday's game,
Tiger pitcher Virgil Trucks
complained of his tight-fitting
shoes. Houtteman offered his
and Trucks slipped them on.
"Feel much better," he said.
Three hours later Trucks struck
out Mickey Vernon of the

Control Turned-Trick . . .
Trucks' No-Fitter First
For Detroit Since 1912
DETROIT ;P)-Fireballing Virgil Trucks of the Detrcit Tigers hurled
the seasons first no-hit no-run game in the major leagues Thursday
and did it mostly with control.
And just when it looked like Trucks might have to go i::to extra
Innings agamst Washington, hum
ing Vic Wcrtz blasted a dramatic
two-out home run in the last of i
the ninth inning to beat the Sen- !
ators, 1-0.
As Wertz rounded the bases
Tiger teammates started baoks'.ap
ping Trucks, who hadn't won a 1
game this penson and gae up 13 i
hits in his last trip.
Loser Bob Porterfield, who had
pitched no-hit ball himself lor
nearly six innings, sobbed as he
told the story of the games losing
Eitch: "It was a fast ball, knee
igh on the inside."
Trucks, beaming in the club
house at his first no-hit game in
11 seasons in the majors, said,
"Control, that was the story. I
used my fast ball sparingly."
It was a dramatic comeback for
Trucks, who had looked miserable
this year after winning his last six
games of 1951. The 192-pound
native of Birmingham, Ala., had
lost previous starts to Cleveland, I
7-5, and Philadelphia, 10-6, and
had failed to finish any of his
four previous starts.
Only one no-hitter had ever
been pitched by a Detroit hurler.
George Mullin did it in 1912, beat
ing St. Louis 7-0.
The smallest crowd of the sea
son, 2,215 saw the game. It was
the second straight victory for the
last-place Tigers and equalled
their longest winning streak cf
the season.
Trucks walked one runner in the
eighth inning and hit two batters
with pitched balls in the third and
sixth. In the second, Gil Coan
reached first safely on second
baseman Jerry Priddys wild
throw.
Only two Senators reached sec
ond base and both through errors
by Priddy.

colt Longden rode to the triple
crown of American racing in 1943.
To further dramatize the event.
Fleet Diver was bred and is own
ed by Mr. and Mrs. John D.
Hergz, close friends of the Jockey
and for whom he rode to fame in
the Kentucky Derby, the Preak
ness and the Belmont Stakes
aboard Count Fleet.
Longden missed out on two pre
vious mounts Thursday afternoon,
but he smashed in by five lengths
on the favored Fleet Diver, and
the crowd set up a terrific roar
of applause.
The only other 4,000-plus win
ner Is Longden's friend, Gordon
Richards of England, who is well
ahead with 4,431 victories as of
Thursday.
