(API Even the Hah can't stand the heat. The state game department's week ly fishing bulletin said todny fish ing had been poor throughout the current heat wave. Lake fishing in ine cascades is fairly good, but almost all streams are poor. MARSHALL WINS NOD OVER BANDIT RAMER0 SACRAMENTO, July 33. (API Scoring seven knockdowns, Lloyd Marshal!. Sacramento Negro. 163 pounds, won a clrancut 10-romd decision from Johnny "Bandit" Rs mero, San Diego 163-poundfr. here last night. Bolstered by the return of Tommy White, league leading hitter with mark of .470, and with a change In personnel in the Infield, Med ford's pennant-questing Craters travel to Ashland Sunday to face their bit ter Southern Oregon league rivals In the third game of the second half race. The game starts at 2:30 sharp. White, out of action '-or the past five weeks with a cracked wrist, has entirely recovered, and will be back In the lineup In an outfield posi tion. The Infield change will see Orvat Hampel at second base and the strong-armed Billy Calvert at the hot corner Instead of Hale Gice mnu. Calvert was shifted from sec ond to third when Oreeman didn't quite measure up to Southern Ore gon league requirements. Remainder of the Inner works will remain the same, with Bob Smith on first nnd Dick Lewis at short. Fielders Can Hit The outfield will be composed of Hoosler Hoffnrd, White, Dick Sa kralda and Manager Wally Rlckert. The Crater skipper Is still unde cided upon the three starters, but probably all will see action. Terrific batting punch will be carried In the Medford outfield, even though Sakralda, a light hitter but grand fly-chaser, performs. In. addition to White s mark of .470. Rlckert la bat ting .430 and Hoffard .378. With White. Hoffard and Rlckert com posing the outer defense, the trio will have an average plate punch of .408, by far the highest In the cir cuit. Lowell Brown will do the Medford pitching with Cliff "Chief McLean back of the plate.' The big Crater southpaw will be firing for his fifth league victory, and while Ashland's second-half record of no wins and two losses doesn't Indicate he will have much trouble, he is expecting one of his toughest games. Both L.lth lan defeats this half were by the margin of one run (3 to 1 against Crescent City and 11 to 10 against Grants Pass.) Second Half Hot Phil Orlggs. righthander formerly with Grants Pass, la expected to pitch for the Llthlans, with Al Simpson wearing the mask and pro tector. Msnager Leonard Hall has released Jack Bnuldlng. second baso man, Darrell Leavens will be at -the keystone sack. With Medford, Grants Pass and Crescent City all tied for the league leadership with two wins and no losses, the second -half race Is be coming even hotter than the first- half squabble. However, after games Sunday, one of those three top teams will no longer be In the undefeated class, as Crescent City travels to Grants Pass. Sport Graphs ....

Looking over State Police Captain Lee Bown's shoulder at ft stereotyped copy of Oregon's 1038 hunting law synopsis, we see that south am Oregon sports- men won't be faced with many new changes In seasons and oag limits this fall. C o plea of the 1938 synopsis for general distribu tion aren't print ed yet, and when they are they will read practi cally the same as last year. In fact, the only changes in hunting laws will concern silver gray squirrels, ante lope and Chinese pheasant. The more popular forms of ahootln' i bear, doer and elk will undergo no rovlslons from last season's laws. There will be an open season on sliver gray squirrels this year, from Sept. 1 to Oct. 31 In 11 counties. Including Jackson, Douglas and Jose phine. Bag limit will be five such squirrels In any seven consecutive days. Last year. It was unlawful to hunt or kill sliver gray squirrels in any Oregon county. There will also be an open season on antelope, from October 28 to No vember '1, Inclusive, but In only three counties Harney. Malheur and Lake. Special permits will be Issued for certain areaa In those counties, with Harney Issuing 350, Malheur 250 and Lake 500. It will be first come, first served for those who want to hunt antelope. Special tags will cost 95 for residents and $25 for non-residents. In addition to regular hunting licenses. Only change in laws regarding Chi nese pheasant hunting will be In the bag limit, that Is. in Jackson and Josephine counties. Instead of two male birds In any one day. but ; not more than four male birds in any seven consecutive days, the new limit will be four male birds in one day, but not more than eight In any seven consecutive days, or In j possession at any one time. In other words, pheasant hunters will be able to bag twice as many this year as last. Season remains the same. from October 15 to October 31 In Jackson and Josephine counties. In groups of other counties there are slight changes In Umtt and seasons. One more area will be open to hunters this year, that In the former Mx.rderer's creek game reserve.
