You'll never convince these five gents that salmon fishing off Depoe Bay isn't, downright terrific.
They bagged these 42 fish in a recent charter cruise outside the popular Oregon bay. Most of the
fish weighed between 10 and 30 pounds, a 31 -pounder being the largest. The happy anglers are (I-r)

The festivities at the recently

the preliminaries are over six soft

Dirty Looks Aimed at IBC Radio Ban
A lot of general griping heard hereabouts because the IBC has
blacked out 100 per cent any radio broadcasting of the coming and
probably monumental clash between Matthews and Marclano. The
citizenry can see a reason why the lid has been clamped on television
for the July 28th festivities but why penalize ring fans 3,000 miles
away with a blanket ban on radio? . . . The broadcast ban is particu
larly grating to the faithful followers ef Matthews out here in the
Northwest. They paid out dough to see the Seattle smoothie In many a
bout as he was coming up. They are the loyal bloc; they're kind of
proud of the Kid. They stuck by him when he wasn't much of a name;
they'd like to get at least a word picture of his sternest test new that
he Is a name . . . But, nope, the IBC sticks to its guns, forgetting that
Joe Louis had no trouble pulling the customers in by the carloads even
with broadcasts, forgetting that Dempsey and Tunney were in a couple
f battles that reached million dollar status despite being broadcast . . .
Certainly, the aspects of the Matthews - Marclano mix are fetching
enough that the bout could fill those Yankee Stadium perches, broad-
it or no uroaacass . . .

Nats Capture Pair;
Giants, Cards Win
By RALPH RODEN
Associated Press Sports Writer
The New York Yankees gave
ground in the tight American
League pennant race Sunday while
the Brooklyn Dodgers continued to
roll merrily along in the National.
Chicago upset the Yankees, 8-4,
and the loss cut the New Yorker's
margin to 44 games over the
Boston Red Sox, who edged the
staggering Cleveland Indians, 3-7,
in 12 Innings. The defeat dumped
Cleveland out of third into fourth
place in favor of the on-rushing
Washington Senators.
The Senators took both ends of
twin-bill from the St. Louis
Browns, 7-6 and 6-3. In another
bargain bill, the Philadelphia Ath
letics nipped Detroit, 8-7 in the
opener, and then battled to a 3-3
tie in the second game, which was
called because of Pennsylvania's
curfew law.
Bums Still 7V'i Ahead
Brooklyn remained 7V4 games
ahead in the National League,
waltzing to an 8-5 triumph over
Pittsburgh while the runner-up
New York Giants defeated Chica
go, 9-7. The third place St. Louis
Cardinals clipped the Boston
Braves, 8-4, and the Cincinnati
Reds and Philadelphia Phillies di
vided a doubleheader, the Reds
taking the opener, 6-5 in ten inn
ings and the Phils the nightcap,
4-3.
Pinch - hitter Leo T h o m a s'
squeeze bunt in the eighth inning
enabled Ed Robinson to score
what proved to be Chicago's win
ning run.
Lipon's Single Decisive
Weak-hitting Johnny Lipon sin
gled with the bases loaded in the
12th off relief pitcher Mike Garcia
to give Boston its tenth victory in
12 starts. Dizzy Trout, fourth Red
Sox pitcher, was the winner.
Con Marrero gained his eighth
victory for Washington in the first
game against the Browns but
needed help from Joe Haynes to
stamp out a five run rally in the
eighth. The Senators bagged their
fifth straight victory in the second
fame behind Bob Porterfield and
andy Consuegra.

Edmunds Drops
3-Hit Tussle
'Shrine Night' Waits
Club; Osborn Protests
FERRIS FIELD, Spokane (Spe
cial) -Frank (Chesty) Chase went
the distance for the first time since
May 3 Sunday night to blank the
Salem Senators 2-0 in the final
game of their WIL baseball series
here. Spokane thus won the Tenes
2-1.
All three games of the series
were played under protest by
Manager Don Osborn of the In
dians, who claims that the Sena
tors are paying salaries above the
league limitations. President Bob
Abel was in the stands Sunday
night and said that he did not
think Spokane had sufficient
grounds for a protest.
Although pitching a three-hitter.
fanning seven and walking only
two, Ted Edmunds was Chases
victim in the game. Chase held
Salem to three hits also, by Gene
Tanselli, Connie Perez and Pinch
hitter Bill Spaeter, the latter com
ing in the eighth inning when he
singled for Edmunds.
Spokane scored in the first inn
ing on a bloop single by Ed Mur
phy, another hit by Sam Kanelos,
a sacrifice bunt and Mel Wasley's
outfield fly. An error with two
out, a stolen base, wild pitch and
a walk, after which George Huff
man and Wasley executed a dou
ble steal, brought in an unearned
run in the sixth.
Chase fanned nine, walked five
Salem loaded the bases on him in
the eighth, but he pitched out of
the mess. The loss was Edmunds
seventh, against as many wins.
The Senators have Monday
off. and on Tuesday night open
the crucial series with Yakima
here at Waters Field. Tuesday
will be "Shriners Night." one
ef the biggies of the season each
year. If the weather holds good,
between 4,000 and 5,000 likely
will turn out for the big benefit
clash for the Shrine Hospital.
The Salem Shrine Club, spon
soring the event, will get half
of all revenue over the 2.000 at
tendance figure for the Hospital
fund . . . Bill Spaeter has been
seeing only limited service with
the club because of a pulled leg
muscle. Manager Hugh Luby
has not stated the reason why
he has been out of the lineup
three straight nights . . . The
Senators won three and lost
three for their week on the road.

HELSINKI UP) Ray Smith of

Caps Run Wild;
Broncs in 4th
By The Associated Press
The third-place Vancouver Cap
ilanos staged one of the most
rambunctius batting displays of
the 1952 Western International
League campaign Sunday as they
unleashed a deluge of 29 hits to
flatten the Wenatchee Chiefs 22-2
in the first game of a twinbill. The
Caps tallied seven runs in both
the fifth and ninth frames of the
wild mix. Top hitter for the Can
adians was Bob Duretto with two
doubles and four singles.
Lewiston's Broncs climbed from
sixth to fourth with a pair of wins
over Tri-City by a 2-1 and 7-2
counts. Salem, loser to Spokane,
dropped to fifth and Yakima,
which lost the first game of a
doublebill to Victoria 1-0, fell to
sixth. (Other second-game results

Texan Wins in High
Jump; Czech Ace Hot
By TED SMITS
HELSINKI (JP) - Walt Davis, $
childhood victim of polios won thf
Olympic high jump gold medal
for the United States Sunday td
touch off a series of four record
breaking performances in the first
day of track and field competition
of the 1952 games.
Three of the record breakers
high jumper Davis, Russian discui
thrower Nina Romaschkova, and
Czech 10,000 meter runner Emil
Zatopek won their events.
The fourth mark was set by
America's Charlie Moore in a pre
liminary heat of the 400 meter
hurdles. v
The towering Texas soared 6
feet 8.32 inches to erase the garnet
mark of 6 feet, 7.93 inches set by
Cornelius Johnson of the United
States in 1936 at Berlin.
While Davis was winning the
first gold medal of the games. Za
topek, the great Czechoslovakia)
distance runner who looks as U
every step is his last, success
fully defended his Olympic cham
pionship in 10,000 meters and low
ered his own record from 29:59.0
to 29.17. So terrific was his pac
that he carried the next two run
ners under the old record time.
Moore Runs :50.8
Moore, the ex-C ornell star,
smashed the Olympic record in
the 400-meter hurdles in the sec
ond round of trial heats. He did it
in :50.8, compared to the time ol
:51.1 set by Roy Cochrane of ths)
United States, at London in 1948.
He was only two-tenths of a sec
ond off the world record.
In the third and last final of th
day, the fourth record was broken.
Here, surprisingly enough, Misg
Romaschkova, a heavily muscled
girl, won the discus with 168 feet
8.46 inches, with Elizaveta Bagr
jancey of Russia second, and th
famous Nina Dumbadze of Russia
third. The old mark was 156 feet
3.23 inches, set by Gisele Mauer
mayer of Germany in 1936.
It was a one-two-three sweep
for the Soviets, making their first
appearance in Olympic competi
tion, but the United States came
close to matching it when Ken.
Wiesner, a 27-year-old Navy den
tist who went to Marquette, took
second behind Davis in the high
Jump.
Russia's men athletes were not
in a class with the women, al
though Its 400 meter hurdlers and
distance runners showed first rata
ability.
Russia Leads
Russia took the team lead over
the United States after the first
day of track competition with 23
points. America was second with
15, Czechoslovakia next with 10,
France fourth with 5.
There is no official team cham
pionship In the Olympic Game
but points are customarily figured
on a basis of 10-5-4-3-2-1 for th
first six places In every event.
Competition began on a broad
front in this biggest of all garnet,
with track and field luring 70,000
fans to its bright stadium. Pre
liminary heats were held in row
ing, In which the United States.
Russia, Czechoslovakia, and Great
Britain all made impressive per
formances.
In men's gymnastics, with si
ut of 12 compulsory exercisef
(ompleted, Russia took the leaj
with 284.35 points, followed by
Switzerland 281.85, Finland 280.45.
Germany 279.30, Japan 277.65, and
the United States 271.45. Turkey.
Egypt, and the United States alj
looked strong in early wrestling
rounds.
But it was track that was the
main show. Two rounds of heatt
were run off in the 100-meter
dash and the 400-meter hurdles,
