SALMON SHY IN SUNNY WEATHER GRANTS PASS, April 10. (8pl.) Trout fishing In Rogue river continues to be exceptionally good, but salmon fishing is "the bunk," looM anglers said Wednesday. The reason was explained by Joe Wharton, who seems to understand the piscatorial mind pretty well. He said salmon don't like to travel when the water la clear and the weather bright, so they lie In dep dark pools during the day, swimming upstream slowly at night. Hence, It takes them three weeks to travel aa far during the present weather conditions as they generally make In three days, Whar ton said. "Conditions conducive to good trout fishing are not conducive to good sal mon fishing," Wharton said, "but the salmon are there, and they'll be com ing faster When the weather changes."

A good sized crowd of Junior high students saw Ashland Junior high baseball team defeat Med ford Junior high, 31 to 23, Thursday evening. This wrts the highest scoring baseball game the local team ever played. The rough and uneven condition of the playing field accounted for the. majority of errors both teams made.

Warren was! by far the most sucessful. Medford used two pitchers. ' A three-ply mat card which will see some of the best men on the co&it In action, will be on tap at the Arm ory tonight, promoted by Mack Lll lard. In the main event Billy Ed wards, bad-behaving butcher boy of Kansas City, will run Into a tough snag in the person of Paul Murdock, big and fast Oklahoman. Murdock learned his muscle mangling In the hard school of the south and should be able to give the chiropractic head' lock artist one of the roughest even lngs he has experienced in a long time. If the Montana lad rubs Mr Edwards' shoulders In the resin It will hurt the feelings of but few fans here. A sure-fire rabble rouser. Is pre dicted in the semi-final when a pair of glante John Preberg and Bob Kruse get into action. Preberg, who halls from Seattle, hears no love for the pouting plowboy of Oswego, and as far as Bob Is concerned, the dis like Is returned. Whatever either of this pair of rough house artists cares to dish out will be appreciated by the cash customers. Both have ap peared here before and their tactics are well known. Preberg specializes in he headlock while Kruse Is one of the greatest wrlstlock artists that ever flipped a foe on his back. Swede Anderson, tormer Medford football star and now a wrestling pro tege of Fireman Ray Prlsbie. will take on Walter Slrlos of Prance, a fast and scientific mat man, in the curtain raiser. Anderson will have an ad vantage In weight, but Slrlos Is ex pected to make up in speed and greater knowledge of the game whit he lacks In beef. Taking all three matches Into con sideration. Promoter LUlard declares tonight's card one of the best ha has ever signed up any place and predicts one of the greatest shows Medford fans have seen in many a moon. The opening gong Is sched uled for 8:30 and two seat sections have been reserved for advance ticket buyers. Balance of the house will be open at a uniform price on the first-come-flrst-scrved basis.
