I- 5 t - 1 READY FOR RELEASE A young Merriam's wild turkey ii held by John McKean, chief of the game diviiion, before its release in the White River game management area near Wamic. Twenty of these grot game birds were obtained from Colorado and 51 from Arizona. Thirteen of the wild turkeys were released on Green Ridge in the Metolius River area and the remainder released in the open pine country cf White River. 2 The Bend Bulletin, Tuesday, February 21, 1961 Head-and-head golf play ripe' By Oscar Fraley UPI Staff Wrlttr MIAMI (UPI) - When Arnold Palmer and Sam Snead recently drew a gallery of 5,000 at $4 a head for an exhibition at Boca Raton it proved, according to pitch and putt promotional genius Fred Corcoran, that golf is ready for a major return to match play. "Golf Is a head and head gome," Corcoran asserted. "That's what the public wants to see and the I'almer-Sncad match proves that (he fans are sated Willi medal play tournaments." Tho time is ripo, Corcoran In sists, for some city to stage a major match play championship. Long golf's greatest "idea man," Corcoran thinks that the game could benefit greatly from an annual match between the U.S. Open and PGA champions with tlutt winner meeting the top la dies' professional in a liend-nnd-hcad match on a par-three course. Sldts With Jones .' He also sides villi the immor tal Bobby Jones in a belief thai the U.S. Golf Association should give deep thought to bringing .back the stymie. " "Laying a man a, stymie calls for great defensive skill, Cor eoran said. "Without the stymie, Jones might never have n.sde his Grand Slam In 19.10. On the first extra hole against Cyril Tol- " ley In the British Amateur he laid Tolloy a stymie and took the title." ! Corcoran, who made a million dollar business out of the men's .pro tour, guides the lady profes sionals and drew up the format .for the International Golf and Canada Cup matches, thinks that -the new tilings are good for the game. Along these lines he praises this . 'year's inaugural Selective Drive -Tournament at Sebrlng, won by .Jim Turnesa and Gloria Arm - strong, and the Par-Threo Invita- " tional at Palm Beach In which Louise Suggs whipped a dozen mcn professionals. .'" Bettor Short Came "I've always contended that -- from GO yards Into the green the ''woman pros) are better players than the men," he grinned. "It's . cinch they are better putters. .

J r v the men In that par-three tourna ment. Imagine what it would draw if she played the winner of a match between the U.S. Open and PGA champions." But he sees the match between the Open and PGA champions al most as a "must" in the future. "This is the kind of tiling golf fans want to see," he argued. "Look back and see what golf fans remember. They don't talk about Jones winning a medal play tournament during his Grand Slam. But they still talk about Walter Hagen beating Jones at Sarasota in 1926. It's that head-and-head drama which draws them." Makes Switch . Th PGA switched Its match play championship to medal play a few years back on Uie grounds that unknowns who reached the finals didn't draw flies. Smaller fields and longor matches would eliminate such situations, tho Bos ton Irishman insists, and the golf bug is so eager for match play today that he d probably patronize even a dark horse finale. "The way they flocked to see Snead and Palmer is a case in point," ho said. And. speaking of that match. Just before It started Palmer took an appreciative glance at the gal lery and said in an aside to Snead: "Sam, tills Is a tremendous crowd." The practical Snead looked them over as if counting every one and replied with pecuniary hopefulness: "It is if they all paid."

The two split second prize of $300 and third prize of $200. First prize of $500 was won by Buz Van DcBogart, Portland, who rolled games of 190, 216, 223, 194, 247 and 204 to go with a handicap of 84. That gave him an aggre gate score of 13o8. The Saturday and Sunday finals wound up five months of elimina tion meets. Prior to his money-winning per formance Saturday night, Bowles, a local certified Instructor for jun ior bowlers, took a team of Bend senior high boys to Portland for competition last Saturday after noon. The event was the American Junior Bowling Congress Oregon Stale' Sweepstakes.

Release points were in the White River game management area to the west of Tygh Valley and on the east side of Green Ridge in the Metolius area. But Oregon gunners are caution ed not to let their gunning fever get carried away, for it will prob ably take a number of years be fore populations build to where hunting will be allowed.

" Alston enthused over Dodgers By United Press International The presence of Leo Durocher already has made a "talkative" manager out of Walter Alston. Alston, generally regarded as major league baseball's quiet man, had difficulty containing himself Monday as the Los Ang eles Dodgers opened their spring training camp at Vero Beach, Fla. Bouncing back and forth between Uie playing field where the pitcli ers were busy taking sprints and tuning up and Uie "Iron Mike" batting cages on the hill behind the field where Uie batters were lining out "hits" against the me chanical pitchers, Alston kept up a running chatter. "Yes sir, this is one of the best opening day drills we've had." Al ston said after checking Uie pitch ers. Then, with his face plastered against Uie protective screen be hind Uie baiting cages, his re marks ran to: "If wo get a little 7 jj ' IF- "S. ...

All birds were trapped in the wild and are of the Merriam's I r.-ce, native to west Texas, New .Mexico, Arizona and southern California. It is the only race of wild turkey that the western states have had any degree of success in maintaining wild flecks. Because of the proximity to air terminal? in Denver, the Colorado Department of Game shipped their 20 trapped birds via United Air lines. The birds arrived in Port land promptly at 12 noon, Satur day. John McKean, chief of the game division, Ron Shay and this writ r of the information division I picked up the birds by truck and : whisked them to the White River 1 sock, we have a chance to go all Uie way." Instructs Barters Durocher, the former Dodgers manager now serving as a coach, busied himself giving batting and bunting instructions to the "early bird" contingent of outfielders, In fielders and farm hands. Across the country on the West Coast, manager Ralph Houk offi cially opened his first Yankee training camp with all of his vet eran pitchers on hand except re liever Luis Arroyo. Houk, wasting little time, had Ralph Terry, Wliitey Ford. Dan ny McDevitt, Bob Turley, Art Dit mar, Jim Coates and Ryne Duren throwing batting practice, some thing Uiey never did under for mer manager Casey Stengel until about the fourth or fifth day after the opening of camp.

Here they were liberated from their individual crates into the white oak and ponderosa pine ridges adjacent to the manage ment area headquarters. Arizona Birds Trucked The Arizona birds were too far from airlines for aerial shipment without several long layovers, so Clark Walsh, assistant game di rector, and Bob Mace, chief of the upland game bird section, made the 2,000-mile trip to Tonopah, Nev., by truck. Here they were met by game officials of the Arizona game de partment who had hauled the birds from Flagstaff near where the birds were trapped. Haste is paramount in any trap ping and transplanting attempt of wild turkey. Experience in the western states shows that these great game birds cannot be held much more than 48 hours without disastrous results. Daley, who was 16-16 last year, reportedly signed for about $22,' 000 a ?S,000 raise. Pitcher Johnny Kucks also signed, leav ing pitcher Ray Herbert, outfield' er Ai Pilarcik and infielder Jim McManus as holdouts. Catcher Gus Triandos missed being branded a holdout by com' ing to terms wiUi the Baltimore Orioles who opened their camp at Miami. 1 Triandos apparently signed for the same $25,000 he got last year for hitting .2C9 with 12 homers. Pirates Do Well Things picked up considerably for the world champion Pittsburgh Pirates at Uicir base in Fort Myers. General manager Joe Brown, who has had less trouble signing his champions Uian originally an i ticipated, reported that only first j baseman Dick Stuart, pitcher George Witt and rookie outfielder j Hank Mitchell remained to be I signed. r 1 3uhA v Z W. i-1 ' ' .' - " f ,7' i ( w' 'if I 5 Qt. bvUKBON RNIiMY. 86 FR00F a Colorado birds were released in the wilds of Oregon within 24 hours after capture. The Arizona turkeys were released just a few (lours under Uie 48-hour maxi mum. Already one bird had suc cumbed to Uie long period in captivity. Rest of Birds Alert . All remaining birds appeared alert and in good health at the time of release. The 20 Colorado birds all flew strong of wing, much in the fashion of a large Canada goose. Each bird catapulted itself into the air from its crate, airborne with a single majestic sweep of its wings.- Some flew close to Uie ground, maneuvering among Uie oaks and pines without a break in flight. .'-' Several gained altitude to disap pear over the pine tops. Three of the big birds flew to tall pines several hundred yards distant, where they landed in the top branches to look back at their would-be capturcrs. 'From all appearance Uie Mer riam's turkeys liked their new home. They were calling to each other within the hour and several birds were observed actively feed ing in late afternoon. A total of 13 birds was released in the Me tolius , area, while the remainder were released on two ridges at White River. Prefer Open Timber The Merriam's turkey prefers open timber rather than dense un derbrush. It chooses open branch ing trees for roosting. Oak supply most for food and is important to Uie bird. Grasshoppers and other insects are favorite food during Uie summer, but plants supply most of the diet at other seasons. Major foods are leaves, grass and weed seeds, and a variety of fruits, nuts, and cereal crops.

Their team series of 2887 was Uie second best shot by a local team in league or match play this sea son. Harold Kern led the Mldgetmen with a 620 series, followed closely by Dan Musgrave at 614. Mus grave took high single-game hon ors with a 256, while Paul Ruka veno shot a 251. The Greenwood squad bowled a respectable 2709 series, but Uie closest they came to winning even one game was when they dropped the third game by three pins, 927 to 924. George Mirich topped the Green wood Bowl team with a 561 series. Individual scores, for Green wood, were Paid Sevy, 505: Dale Gephart, 552; Al Skorpen, 536: Ned Douglass, 555; and George Mirich, 561.

Sportsmen in states where this bird is hunted hold Uie wild tur key in high esteem. It is consid ered Uie most wary and alert o! wild game birds. To Uiese sports men .these majestic birds offer a challenge unmatched in upland game bird gunning. It has Uiese attributes as long as it remains wild. SemidomesU tated, it becomes just another barnyard fowl. No artificial feed ing will be conducted by the Game Commission, and residents in Uie area are asked not to feed the birds since Uiis may tend to make Uiem less wary. The chances of success depend entirely on Uie interest and pro tection afforded by people who come across these , birds in their new home. . Given protection from hunting and from becoming tame through artificial feeding, the Merriam's turkey should become established as a wild bird of the state. And some day Oregon hunters may be idling their skill against this great game bird, Uie big game in upland game bird gunning.
