Cards Ohtain Ellis Kinder CHICAGO Frantic Frankie Lane who made about 270 trades when he was with the Chicago White Sox finally made a deal for the St. Louis Cardinals Sunday but he had to dip into the American League for pitcher Ellis Kinder, oldest player in the majors. Kinder, who will be 42 on July 26, was purchased from the Boston Red Sox after he had been waived out of the American league. Al though no details were announced, it was understood the price was no more than the $10,000 waiver figure. Lane had sold a couple of play ers to the minors in his new cap acity as general manager of the Cards but this was his first in volving another big league team. Many more are sure to follow. Reliefer Needed "I don't care if he's 92, as long as he can pitch, " was Lane's re action to the age angle. The Cards were in desperate need' of a relia ble rubber-armed, righthanded re liefer. The bullpen failures were an important factor in their sev enth place finish last season, their poorest showing since World War I. Kinder was one of the greatest relief pitchers jn Amrcican League velt and Saturday night they de history in his salad days. In 1949-1 fcated Lincoln. he had a 23-6 record as a starter Monday's moe tin ggets under- and in 1953 he set a league record way at 7:30 a.m. at the Senator from Ed Brown to Harlan Hill in the last 5 minutes of play. Green Bay walloped San Fran cisco 28-7. Graham, Groia Star The' Browns, defending world champions, picked up yet another conference crown in the same old fashion pairing the talents of veterans Otto Graham and Lou (The Toe) Grnza. "Old man' 'Graham, who can celled his retirement at seasr i start, ran 4 yards for one TD and passed for two others one on a 46-yard pass-play to Ray Renfro, the other on. an lit yard play with Darrell Brewster. Groza booted all three conver sions and chipped in three field goals from 17, 21 and 42 yards tut.

UCLA, the Southern Division champion of the Pacific Coast Con ference a year ago, and Princeton, the Ivy League kingpin, also were jolted over the weekend.

It is to be understood that we do not wish to ridicule the Game Commission but with waterfowl it is easy enough to be in a confused state most of the time. We know. We've been quite confused all season. Anyway, the reports read as follows, in part: (1) Quote:-To answer many inquiries from water fowl hunters, the Oregon Game Commission said today (Nov. 30) that there is still an abundance of waterfowl in most areas of the state. Unquote. (2) Also dated Nov. 30. Quote:-Waterfowl hunting in the north Willamette valley was ex tremely poor over the weekend. It is not ex pected to improve until th flood waters -recede and new flights of ducks appear.' Unquote. We did not quote the reports in their entirety as it would only cause more confusion amongst the duck hunters. Suf fice it to say that there is still an abundance of ducks but the shooting will not improve until new flights of ducks appear. Try thinking that over for the rest of the week. With all of the ducks reported as having left Canada on November t we are at a loss to figure just where any new flights may appear from. We certainly hope that some more appear from someplace but Just where Is a good guest. California Alessetl With Good Hunting Reports from down south would Indicate that California is blessed with one of the heaviest waterfowl flights in years. Most of the other flyways report the same. More ducks than for many a season. For a few days it was that way in the Willamette valley and then WHOOF! most of the birds disappeared It is hard to pin it on the cold snap we had a couple of weeks ago as right smack in the freeze up we had the best shooting along the river that we have had all season. True, there li lots of water now and the birds are not con centrated in any one spot. However, there should be enough hunters out over the weekends to keep a lot of birds flying, yet there is very little doing In the way of flying birds. Perhaps some more birds can come in yet from eastern Wash ington but we must remember, that they too had a quick freeze in that country. It would not surprise us too much if most of the birds headed straight for Palm Springs. Weather May Bring Good St eel head Continued cooler and rainless weather should give the steel headers a shot in the arm now, and with dropping and clearing water the big sea-run rainbows should be giving the salmon cluster boys the fits. With half a break the coastal streams usually drop and clear rapidly after the rains. They are short and. the .drop it swift. Just give us some more of 'this wEather and we'll be hearing from the hook and gaff boys. The streams should be well filled with big steeliet now so the stories could be even bigger and better than normal. No matter how poor the hunting or fishing may be it could always be worse. Besides there will be another year with lots of room for improvement. It couldn't happen again. We hope. Snared By Wood . v... ,:. ..... Dr. John R. Wood, one of Sa lem's better amateur golfers who spends hit time off the links in a dentist' office, captured the Fall Handicap at the Salem Golf Club Sunday by defeating Pat Miklia, 5 and 4, in the championship finals. Four other flights also finished Sunday in the annual tournament, but none were as one-sided as Wood's victory. Wood shot even par in his 14 hole defeat of Miklia. The match was close the first nine holes, which enoea wun wooa notding a one-up edge. But the swinging dentist won the next four holes and halved the fifth to cinch the title. Mae Defeats McMullea In the first flight action, which played a foursome with the cham pionship match, Bob Moe defeated Vera McMullen to take top honors in the next-to-best round. 0. W. Langdoc won the second flight when he defeated 'Dr. Ralph Gordon in the closest match of the day by a narrow 1 up score. Carl Wittenberger won the third flight with a 3 to 2 victory over L. S. Smith. In the fourth flight, Sam Tosti downed Dr. Vern Miller, 3 and 1. Cloa First Nlae Wood and Miklia played side by tide through their first nine holes.
