SISSY FISH FAIL
IN STREAM LIFE
DENVER, Aug. 18 API The
problem of raising millions of fish
who won't be "mollycoddles" when
they are pushed out Into the hard
life of fishing streams occupied the
convention of the Western Associa
tion of State Oame and Pish Com
missioners today.
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.

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,

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

was up a definitely steep grade, so
Little was not getting long rolls on
his shots.
Both Thompson and Little will

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.

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,

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

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

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
