UP) Playing a 130-yard hole on the Boscobel course, Golfer Frank C. Gross was annoyed (when his tee shot sailed past the green), surprised (when the ball hit a tree and bounced back) and delighted (when it rolled into the cup for a hole-ln-one. This latter rule wai adopted unanimously with the thought in mind that this year hitting will probably be much freer than in the past and the game will be speeded up by the use of the tenth man. Portland teams have played under this arrangement successfully for some years. Players are to be given non transferable passes. Season tick ets good for all regular sched uled games are now on sale. It is hoped that at least 200 season tickets can be sold prior to the opening Tuesday night. These tickets can be obtained from any of the team managers or at the gate at the field. Children under 14 will be admitted free. Originally, play on only two nights a week was planned, but the interest shown by the play ers and the public has caused this to be changed to four nights a week with the league at full strength of eight teams. Play will be on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday x and Friday nights. Double headers will be played each night with only one game in progress at a time. Only one diamond will be used and it will be set up in the center of the turfed high school field directly in front of the grandstand. Ends Aug. 12 There will be a total of 28 nights of play and the season will be finished on August 12. The cantonment planners now have around 120 men working at the armory and on their sur vey crews and most of these men are young enough to play softball. It is hoped that those who want to play can get lined up with the teams in the league or better still form their own team and enter the league. Greenwood Lake, N. Y., June 12. UP) It is a matter for argu ment whether Joe Louis has more pooh-poohs for Billy Conn's "smart cracks" or his "powder puff punching. The "cracks" have steamed the bomber up so much he is all out to end next Wednesday night's Polo Grounds tussle with the first punch, if he can. His sparring partners are all banged up from catching what he promises to deal off the arm to Billy. Pompton Lakes, June 12. VP) Billy Conn of Pittsburgh is basing his belief that he will win the heavyweight championship from Joe Louis next Wednesday night largely on the conviction that the negro has lost "SO per cent of his punch and no longer can hurt an opponent seriously with one lick. For those who have been wondering how a little fellow like Billy could be so cocksure of whipping the big man known as the bomber, that explains a lot. Both Billy , and his man ager. Johnny Ray, are absolutely convinced that Louis has slipped badly in the last year and is ripe for the taking. E Portland.

Harold Salvador and Marty 1 Leptich. both Portland, who led the field in qualifying scores, were only part of the upset, which continued as Bud Haskell of Olympia fell to Bob Bronson of Portland, 1 up.

Decreasing Ottawa, Canada (JP) Fishing bears that prowl the banks of small streams in the Queen Charlotte Islands off the British Columbia coast are a big head ache to fisheries officials but there aren't as many at there used to be. Ninety-one of the marauders were shot in 1940, re ports to the fisheries department said. Bears are numerous in the islands. Officials said that along one small section of beach ten of the animals were seen scooping out pawfuls of salmon as the big fish began ascending creeks to the spawning grounds.

Harper found few if any of the migrant workers with suf ficient training to qualify them for defense lobs. He said his records showed 20 per cent of applicants for aid came to California from Texas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, New Mex ico and Missouri. He declared nearly one-half spent from one to three years In Arizona before continuing on to California. Harper said he believed the continued flow of migrant fam ilies to California was due to widely circulated reports of a boom in California s defense in dustries, with consequent high number of available Jobs.

Kelly Washington, D. C. June 12. While the war department plant activities inland in Oregon, the navy is arranging to strengthen its coast positions. From San Diego to Alaska the navy will establish sectional bases in the coming year, preparing nrsts for mall craft from where they can dart to sea. scout and return to these shelters. There is more than the sectional bases in the program; there is an extensive plan for the construction of small craft to use the bases. Unless the information is incorrect, some of these boats will be built on the Columbia river. Starting at San Diego, there will be a base at San Pedro, San Francisco, Morro bay. Eureka (just south of the Oregon line). Coos bay, Astoria, Seattle, Port Townsend, Port Angeles and Neah bay. Then a jump to Alaska, with sectional bases at Dutch Harbor. Kodiak. Ketchi kan, Petersburg, Juneau and Seward. Such Is the set-up, but later there is a prospect of other bases and thereafter let con. City, Gold Beach, Yaquina and Gray's Harbor. First estimate is for $50,000,000 and if this isn't sufficient a deficiency bill will be introduced next year. This money is for the stations not for the small craft. Cost of each station will be a trifle less than $1,000,000, with a few sta tions In excess of that amount depending on the complement of boats, the housing facilities required, ete. FROM end to end the Pacific coast will be pockmarked with these small facilities and at long last the admirals have come to realize Oregon and Washington the Pacific northwest are worth protecting. Heretofore naval activities have been con centrated at the bathing beaches of southern California, and at tempts to arouse their interest In the Columbia river region have met with a fishy eye. The navy Is now going to town In the northwest and from Eureka to the straits of Juan de Fuca there will be a navy patrol. With approximately 60 aec tional bases (they will be scat tered from Portland, Maine, to Trinidad, to Cuba, the canal zone) a substantial fleet of small craft will be required. A few of these boats will be built on the Great Lakes and worked down the Atlantic coast, or reach the gulf via the Mississippi, but on the Pacific coast there will be work for more shipyards; new shipyards. Some of these boats will be the swift mosquito type, built for high speed (60 m.p.h.) and carrying torpedoes. Others the 160-footers. Both of these types can be constructed of wood. AH of the mosquito boats have hulls of wood. These and the larger boats can be made on the Col umbia river, the engines for the speed boats being put together In the east. A yard at Coos bay, where one sectional base Is to be located, has tentative orders for eight boats, larger than the small torpedo craft. Before July 1 the navy should have its appropriation for the bases and there after lot con tracts on a cost-plus fixed-fee. the fee not to exceed tlx per I to be held this RIGISTIR AT WARDS . , . now I Absolutelj no entry fee of anr kind I Entry blanks ma be filled out In Wards Sportln j Goods Depart ment Hurry in . . . everybody's entering t .

OREGON fruit and vegetable canners will have a better chance to do business with the army if the Walsh-Healy act is abro gated. Under this law, which ' has been handicap to the army and navy since Its inception, any concern filling an order for either branch of the armed serv ice in an amount more than $10,000 must comply with the , wages and hours set by Secre tary of Labor Perkins. The can neries, which have seasonal operation, are exempt from the wages and hours act and none of them have taken contracts direct with the army or navy. which might place them under the Jurisdiction of Madam Per kins. Army Is discovering that In 1 purchasing canned fruit and vegetables it is running up against speculators and has de cided that if the Walsh-Healy act can be suspended it can deal directly with the canners. Labor unions (who wanted the law to apply to orders as low as $2. 000) are preparing to resist any weakening of the Walsh-Healy act. It is no secret, however, that the army (and navy too) is fed up with union demands with excessive cost of army camps and the constant handi cap of strikes. STARFISH being' the sworn enemy of the oyster, congress wishes to save the oyster and make the starfish contribute something to humanity other than being used to decorate the radiators of cars returning from the beaches. The starfish wraps itself around the oyster and rips it open. Congressmen wish to preserve them from the starfish and has voted $10,000 to have the starfish studied. There Is a hint that it might contain vita mins and if so scientists may dis cover a way to use these com mercially. Best oyster beds on the Oregon coast are at Ya quina.
