'kits and Scratches
By Fred Zimmerman, Capital Journal Sports Editor
No follower of the game of fisticuffing enjoys a bout where
the principals take a couple of pokes at each other and then fall
into a clinch. But as long as a scrapper has one arm free the
referee is not obligated to demand that the boxers separate. So
there is little use in yelling at the third man in the ring to "get
between them," or demand
"what are you in there for?'1
as long as the fighters are not
completely tied up. Probably
the referee could urge the prin
cipals to mix it up and break
with greater speed, but insist
ing that a boxer, who is par
ticularly potent at in-fighting,
disengage himself and step back
just because his opponent has
one of his arms locked, is mere
ly robbing the fellow of a
chance to get in some telling
wallops. But, then sports fans
are entitled to get in their two
bits worth, vocally at least, and
enthusiasm is a highly desira
ble community in any field of
endeavor.
The Willamette valley and
tributary streams from the Coast
Range and the Cascades are not
alone in the matter of indif
ferent trout fishing. From Wal
lowa county, a good friend of
ours brings word that it is be
coming more and more diffi
cult to bring home a fair sized
fish, A decade ago that part
of the state was still a fisher
man's paradise and the high
lakes still yield trout in fair-
sized numbers. But the streams,
such as the Imnaha, Big Sheep,
Little Sheep and Joseph creeks,
have been "fished to death."
When I first went to the val
ley, limit catches of 12 and 14
inch trout were to be had in an
hour. Every stream in the Wal
lowa Valley was crowded with
fish and a person could be out
half a day and seldom encoun
ter another angler. Now, all
the favorite stretches of water
arc crowded from the begin
ning of the season and solitude
is a thing of the past," the visi
tor reported with considerable
regret in his voice.
Opening of the elk season a
few years ago has virtually
eliminated the fine herd that
visitors to Wallowa lake knew
so well. The district is includ
ed in a game reserve, but the
elk, protected for so many years,

were picked off by hunters who
stationed themselves just be
yond the boundaries of the re
fuge. Deer continue to be quite
plentiful, particularly during
the closed season. Our friend
reports counting 75 docs and
bucks one evening on a slope
that provided particularly fine
browse. However, they have
grown smart and the first crack
of a rifle on the opening day
of the season sends them into
the deep ravines of the high
Wallowas.
All's not milk and honey for
those charged with the respon
sibility of directing the state
tournament at Eugene, judging
by reports that have leaked out
here and there. Situations that
plagued Prof. Les Sparks and
his associates here in Salem
have bobbed up in the Lane
county metropolis and in some
instances they are greatly ag
gravated. Housing has been
terrific and hotel rooms built
to accommodate two persons,
or at the most three, contained
six or eight nightly. No one
could ask for a better physical
plant to house the event than is
provided by McArthur court
It is available with the least
amount of discomfort to the
spectator, but the streets are
no broader than those in Sa
lem, and parking is a real head
ache. Attendance should ex
ceed tournaments held here, but
it is doubtful if the goal es
tablished by the Active club
will be attained. It's the first
year for the Eugene manage
ment, and they are finding that
it takes a lot of concentrated
effort to keep all departments
functioning smoothly.

Showdown Due
Diamond Feud
St. Petersburg, Fla., March
14 (U.R) A final showdown in
the feud between Larry Mac
Phail and Leo Durocher appear
ed today to be close at hand
with a decision in the brawl to
come from Baseball Commis
sioner Albert Chandler.
MacPhail, New York Yankee
president, revealed yesterday
that he has complained to
Chandler that Brooklyn Dodger
Manager Durocher, Dodger Pre
sident Branch Rickey and Dodg
er Secretary Harold Parrott are
guilty of "conduct detrimental
to baseball."
The Yankee president said all
three made "libelous and slan
derous" statements about him
self and Yankee Coach Charley
Dressen. He said that Rickey
made his remarks to newspaper
men, as did Durocher, while
Parrott wrote his statements in
a column he ghost-writes for
"Lippy Leo" in the Brooklyn
Eagle.
"I was accused of having no
torious gamblers as guests in
my box at ball games," Mac
Phail said.
Chandler said he asked Mac
Phail to think it over before
making formal charges, but it
appeared that the Yankee presi
dent, backed by American Lea
gue President Will Harridge.

bone chips were removed. It
has been painful during the
early workouts of the world
champions .but the blond fellow
with the steady blue eyes feels
that he is in for a really good
year.
"Sure it hurts," he explained
after a half hour of running and
exercises during a private "day
off" workout. The "Skipper." as
the boys call Martager Eddie
Dyer, had told Terry not to
work but he voluntarily put on
an oilskin sweatshirt and romp
ed around the outfield at Al
Lang park.
"How does it feel, partner?"
Dyer asked as Moore came in.
"Fine, Skipper, fine," Terry
grinned.
Dyer shook his head almost
disconsolately as Moore stamp
ed into the dressing room.
"I hope." he muttered. "I
hope, but I wonder."
Terry, a rugged outfielder
who made a couple of sensa
tional catches in the world ser
ies, isn't wondering.
"I'm certain that I'm going to
be all right," he said as he re
laxed and wiped his head with a
towel.
Terry explained that last
year, even when just standing
on the leg, the knee pained so
fiercely that he hardly knew
how to go on from day to day.
"I couldn't even bend over to
pick up a ground ball," the Car
dinal captain said. "I don't
know how in the world I ever
made those running catches in
the series."
