The whole trouble, Dr. L- R. Don aldson of the University of Washing ton school of fisheries at Seattle told the convention, comes from disre garding "the laws of nature." Pish raised In hatcheries, Dr. Don aldson explained, too often are fed rich, concentrated food and are kept In water carefully maintained at a constant temperature, "The fish has an almost perfect digestive system," the speaker said. "When you feed It too much when you dlarvrd the awa of nature, you kill It." By permitting water temperatures to vary from 30 to 80 degrees, hatch er ir can better accustom fish to the more strenuous lire they will encoun ter when they go into streams, Don aldson wild. 4 FOR '38 NATIONAL OPEN DEKVEIl, Aug.

Second -Half Softball 10 TAKEPENNANT Mighty Timber-men Defeated 5-3 to Tie Up Race Win by Piche Tonight Will Mean Double-Header Game Tonight. Plche vs. Timber Products, 8 o'clock. (For the second-half championship.) The amazing youngsters of Plche Hardware, wbo last night defeated limber Products, 5-3, In the season's most startling upset, will face the heavyhittlng Tlmbermen again to night at 8 o'clock tor the second half pennant of the Commercial soft ball league.

All regularly scheduled Commercial league games have been postponed to make way for the championship game this evening. For Plche, Stelner, brilliant Yreka pitcher, will perform, while Earl Dale will be on the mound for Timber Products. Buss Acheson and Mike Balkovtck will umpire. Playing magnificent ball, Plche tied up the second-half race last night behind the one-hit Ditchlna of Stern er, who was robbed of a no-hltter by Dale hlmsell. who hit a single In the second Inning. It was Timber Products' first defeat In 17 games a.nd left both teams with a record of 7 wins and one loss In the second-half race. Huge Crowd Sees Gunie, Over 1000 spectators saw the ex citing battle and twice that many are expected for the pennant game tonight. The encounter will be play ed directly In front of the center of the grandstand. Temporary bleach ers are being erected to take care of the crowd. Dale fanned It Plche batters but was touched for 7 solid basehlta while Stelner struck out 7 Tlmbermen. The highly-rated Timber Products Infield came apart at the seams to con tribute heavily to the surprise Plche win. The Tlmbermen took the lead In the first Inning with a pair of runs gained by four Plche errors, but the battle was tied up In the second when McKee, Scheffel and Stelner belted safeties. McKee, by the way, hit 8 for 8 last night after a medi ocre season at the plate. Plche broke the 3-3 deadlock In the fourth Inning on Bob Smith's error, McKee's second base knock, and Plche's double to center, the only extra-base hit of the evening. Two runs scored on the blow.

Sport Graphs Billy HuJen 8ay: Stars of Golfdom To Show Long Shots In Exhibition Here There la no physical maneuver In the entire world of sports that can remotely approach the spectacle ot a top ranking golfer whamming a tee shot toward the distant green for distance, we mean. Babe Ruth, in his prime, belted homers Into stands and over fences that traveled 400 and more feet. But In comparison to the flight of a golf ball that has been powered by one of the really good boys, those four-base wallops by Ruth seem like mere love taps. Golf players and fans, alike, iv liu have read about the mighty drives of Jimmy Thompson, will have a chance to see him In per son next Hunday when the H. Chandler gan memorial fuunv tain Is dedicated at the Rogue Vulley golf club. Thompson, with Horton Smith, LawKon Little, Harry Cooper and Bobby Jones, will be In Med ford to do their stuff In memory of the great L'gan, and one of the largest crowds to ever attend an ath letic event In southern Oregon Is expected to turn out. Thompson, who probably packs e huskiest punch olf the tee of any golfer who ever lived, has actu ally s&nt the little white pellet on rides of 300 yards and upwards. Yards ts correct. Figured Into feet, that means the ball has traveled 900 and more of them, which makes Babe Ruth's mightiest efforts seem anemic. In the United States open at Oakmont In 1935, Thompson cut loose on the 610-yard twelfth hole with a blast that enabled him t( reach the green with a spoon sec ond, Indicating that his Initial wal lop saw about 340 yards, or 1020 feet, of scenery before getting tired and resting. Lawson Little, also a terrific hlt teroff the tee, turned In some re markable driving in the United States amateur of 1934 at Brook line. Time and again he reached the nar green, a hole of 330 yards. The finish gree, a hole of 320 yards. The finish was up a definitely steep grade, so Little was not getting long rolls on his shots. Both Thompson and Little will nhow how It's done Sunday morn ing at 11 a. in., when the four uce give a demonstration of plain and fancy shot-making. That demonstration U the busi ness t hat has local golfers all hot and bothered, and well It should, for the first time In most of their lives, they will have the opportunity of watch lug ut close hand and In person the form of the world's finest players. Not only that, but they will he able to hear those same players explain, in minute detail, every action from the beginning of the swing until the smooth and graceful follow-through. Bernle Hughes, the big, tough football center who made history at Med ford high under Prink Calllson and at University of Oregon under the same coach, will do his profes sional plgnktn maneuvers with the newly formed Los Angeles team this coming season. Bernle left last night for the southland to begin training for a gruelling schedule which will include games with nine National. league outfits, but before he left he Imparted some rather exciting Information, which ts here presented for the first time. Bernle will not be with the Chi cago Cardinals, of which club he has been a member for the past three years, because he has Jumped the team. Along with the popular Medford player will be Bill Smith, former A 1 1 - A m erl on n e nd from t ne BLENDEO WHISKY ( Wsa Nte. tp" fi'i Title at Stake Tonight University of Washington, Harry Fields, huge ex-Oregon State tackle, and Al Nlckellnl, who used to play plenty of halfback for Slip Madlgan at St. Mary's. The three did the same as Bernle; they walked out on the Cardinals, and thts season will play with the Los Angeles team. Explaining how he and his football pals could get away with It, Bernle said that the Los Angeles club had not been granted a franchise In the National league, even though It wtll play all the teams In the circuit. Of course, Bernle pointed out, he and Smith, Fields and Nlckellnl could be outlawed from the league, which they probably would be. but it wouldn't make any difference in re gard to their action with Los Angeles. In other words, Bernle and the boys are pulling out for greener pas tures without the formality of get ting their releases, which they un doubtedly couldn't get, anyway, be cause all are rated mighty good pig skin material. All players In the National Professional Football league are signed to lronclad contracts the same as In organized baseball. So, by their action In Jumping their team and contract. Bernle and his friends will probably be Indefinitely suspended by the National loop. Los Angeles will bring to the Pacific coast Its first big-league professional football in regularly scheduled games. Bernle said that the Los Angeles club would leave September 4 for the east where It would tangle with all National clubs In a two month trip. Arriving back home, the team will then meet the east ern outfits, one after the other. The National league 1a composed of the New York Giants, BUI Morgan's team, Chicago Bears, Chicago Cardinals, Greenbay Packers, last year's world cham pions, Pittsburgh. Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn and Detroit. Thts coming campaign will be Bernle's last, he said. He Is lnter ested In coaching and- will attempt to line up with a college or high school. Bernle stated that he learned more in his first year of pro baU. 1933, than he did his entire high school and college career. It certainly shouldn't be difficult for Bernle Hughes, with four years of the most exacting football In the world be hind him. to get a coaching Job. 1 Scores Yesterday By the AMociatfd Pres Coast B.
