Mourns Death
Of Clark Griffith
WASHINGTON (UP) A be

mourned the death of one of tin
last ol lis elder statesmen
C.ark Griffith, owner - presiden"
of the Washington Senators a n i
eo - founder of the American
League.
Death came quietly to the Si
year-old Griffith. His persona
physician, Dr. George A. Resta
said the beloved . "Old Fox" o
baseball died in his sleep at 9:41'
p.m., KDT Thursday night.
For five days Griffith had wngot'
in up-and-down fight against a
massive stomach hemorrhage ant!
other complications. Doctors de
spaired of hs life last Sunday, but
le rallied and told hi? family on
Wednesday that he intended to be
"it of the hospital by Nov. 20 -lis
86th birthday.
But Griffith's gallant heart final
ly gave out.
Only his son. Calvin, and Res'.a
were at the bedside when the end
time. Other members of the fam
ily had not kept a constant vigil
becuuse Griffith had appeared to
le improving. ;
Hospitalized Oct. 19
Griffith was hospitalized Oct. 19
for treatment of neuritis. Three
days later he was stricken with a
massive stomach hemorrhage.
Then he developed lung congestion
and doctors feared he was near
death.
But he rallied, only to suffer a
relapse and die.
Griffith's death removed from
the active baseball scene the last
of the game's great big league
pioneers. It marked the end of an
era and a fabulous career that was
dedicated completely to the nation
al pasttime.
He devoted 09 of his nearly 8G
years to baseball as a pitcher,
manager, owner and unofficial
"goodwill ambassador' for the
game. '
Casanova Warns
His Webfoots
KUGENK (UP) Oregon hoped
for a dry field today as the Web
foots were warned by Coach Len
Casanova not to take too lightly
the Invading Idaho Vandals in their
Pacific Coast Conference football
game here tomorrow afternoon.
Idaho Is primed for an upset.
The Vandals still seek their first
win of the year and hope they can
catch the Ducks off base after two
straight one-sided Oregon victories.
Oregon Is after Its third straight
win and Its second of the PCC
campaign.
But coaches this week said the
Webfoots were unimpressive in
practice sessions, although mid
term exams may have had some
thing to do with it.

Hunting & Pishing
By VtKtill, lUl'P
Again this week end the nest
duck and goose shooting should be
at Summer lake and in the Kla-
muth marshes. Waterfowl hunting
around Bend lias not been good
ust aren't many ducks yet, ac
rording to hunters.
Last Sunday there were fewer
.lunters at Summer lake than there
"lad been Saturday but the ducks
md geese were still there. Dick
Vhite drove down and came bacli
vith eight ducks and a limit ol
reese. Hunting near the Ryan
anch on the Deschutes later this
veek White and two other hunter;
:ook only six birds between them,
rearing out the reports of few
local ducks.
Was. Sherman and Jetfersor
counties have been fair for phea
iant reports the state game com
mission. Quail nun-ting has beer
noo-i in Jefferson county. The bos'
nheasant hunting reported in thi?
irea has been in the country north
if Alfalfa. In my experience tht
H'st time of the day for pheasnn
hunting has been early in the
morning, when you can be sure of
rinding Ihe birds near water if you
find them at all. Best of all is to
use a dog.
Twist Barrels Explode .
Yesterday I heard a hunter tell-1
ing how his kids were now using
the shotgun their great-grandfather
had first used. The gun is a
thumb-busier' big projecting
hammers and has 'those old
twist wire barrels. Another lis
tener spoke up and said 'That
gun'H blow up In the kids face
sometime! "
He was right. Twist, or Damas
cus barrels, are not safe. Now with
modern ammunition that develops!
pressure far beyond what the gun
was meant to take. Sure, the bar
rels mny hold one or maybe a
hundred times or more, but one of
those times they won't "hold and
ssmubody is going to be minus a!
few fingers, an eye, or dead.
I have an old double-barrel 12
gauge, a Henry, and it has Dumas
cus ban-els. Bui it's a keepsake
and not a hunting arm so Die fir
ing pins are removed. "
Ammunition manufacturers cuu
tioi on the shotgun shtll carter
that the loads should not be use
in guns with twist or Damascus
ban-els.
The fellow who was telling tht
stoiy about his grandfather's gun
answered objections that the gun
wasn't safe with 'But they'rt
dllin' pheasants with it." 1 hope
-he front page of this paper doesn't
have to carry a story about how
