BY THIRD WIN IN ROW,
(By the Associated Press.)
Portland held on to first place In.
the Pacific Const baseball league to
day by making It three-ln-a-row over
Oakland's Oaks by a 3 to 1 score
Manager Dutch Zwllllng of the Oaks
said he would protest the game be
cause his own shortstop. Eddie Mon
tague, dropped a high fly by Irvine
Jeffries In the eighth Inning when
Portland scored the winning run.
After hlttlnp the ball. Jeffries dis
gustedly threw his bat on the dia
mond. It waa believed Zwllllng was ap
plying an old rule which holds that
a batter who throws his bat In such
a manner as to impede fielding of
the ball is automatically called out.
League President W. C Tuttle will de
cide If Jeffries' bat caused Montague
to drop the hall.
The Hollywood Stars and Los An
geles Angels were tied for second place
because the Stars hit the Jackpot
and It gushed runs at the expense
of the Angels. Hollywood pounded
out 17 hits to score an 18 to 4 victory.
A Umth Inning run gave Sacra

The following recreational bulle
tin was Issued today by Rogue River

"Field reports Indicate that waters
are too high for good trout fishing,
although several fine catches have
been made. Wild flowers are abund
ant In the mountain areas south of
Medford but as yet are not In full
bloom north of the city.
"Approximately 18 inches of snow
remain at Union Creek. Campgrounds
In that region are still blocked by
snowdrifts. The Elk Creek road Is
open for 18 miles and the Trail Creek
road for six miles, streams in thle
area are still high. Pishing Is reported
as poor on the middle fork of Rogue
river. The river Is high and partly
clear from Prospect to Trail. Bait
fishing near the Copco dam below
Prospect is fair. . -
Main roads along the Applegate
will be found in good condition; all
roads leading to' higher elevations
still remain closed. The road to
Squaw lake Is open to within two
miles of the lake. Fishing condi
tions In the Applegate region will be
found poor due to high water, al
though a few fair catches have been
reported as being made with single
eggs.
Many shrubs, such as manzaniw..
mock orange, Oregon grape and wild
gooseberry are In blossom. Numer
ous wild flowers such as lilies, red
bells, shooting stars and trllliums
are also seen.
The rood from Crater Lake high
way to Butte Falls Is now In good
condition due to recent work by the
county. The road to Fish lake Is
still closed to a point five miles
from the lake. Several parties have
visited the lake by way of Dead In
dian Soda Springs. Fishing Is re
ported as very good at Fish lake.
"The Butte Falls-Prospect rood Is
closed at the end of gravel, 10 miles
from Butte Falls. The south fork of
the Rogue river and the Imnaha
creeks can now be reached by way
of Prospect. Fair fishing r.os been
reported in these streams. Big Butt
is still milky. Rancherta and Four
Bit creeks are clear. Good catches
have been mode In the north fork
of Little Butte creek. This stream
was closed to fishing last year but
Is open this year and should afford
some good fishing for some time to
come."

Joe Medwick Plagues Dizzy
Into New Verbal Outburst
Bjr ARNOLD
CHICAGO. April 29. (AP) The
And even If Joe , Medwick. his
former St. Louis Cardinal teammate,
calls him the kind to "crawfish" out
of a fight and leave the battle to
his mates. Dizzy wasn't pulling any
verbal punches today.
"That Medwick is dumb . . . say
Ins when I dust off anybody, it
always a little guy . . . that I run
from a fight. Say If that guy would
show any sort of hustle at all, the
Cords would have a helluva lot bet
ter ball club than they got now.
Yesstr, It was a former gas houser
forsaking his role of mild mannered
Chicago Cub to slsp back at another
gas houser.
Medwick began the feud yesterday
by taking a healthy cut at a re
cently published story of a row Doan
was supposed to have had In Tampa.
Pla., a year ago with sports writers
Irv Kupclnet of Chicago, and Jack
Mlley of New York.
Dean said he was not In the fight,
that there was no fighting until Joe
and other players came on the scene
and that Medwick did the hitting.
Medwlck's written statement to
Chicago newspapers said In part:
He s right In one respect. He
wasn't In the fight after fists started
to fly. He usually does a crawfish
act about that time. Dizzy was re
treating when I arrived. He needed
protection when I got there and I
gave It to him. We didn't even know
Dizzy was fighting baseball writers."
