Billy Hulcn Says:
Tigers Give Up
Sending Team To
Hayward Relays
Missing when 22 Oregon high
schools send their best track and
field performers Into action In
the sixth annual Hayward relays
at Eugene April 10 will be red
and black clad athletes of Med
ford high.
Because of a rather depleted
treasury, helped not at all by the
travel situation, the Tigers will
not compete In the meet they
entirely dominated in 1938, '39
and '40. Thus, the Bengal thin
dads become the first local prep
athletic team to feel the bite of
war-time retrenchment.
As explained by Principal
Leonard B. -Mayfield, the Med
ford track team was to be re
stricted to making only one long
trip this spring, and as it was
felt the annual state meet was
of tnore Importance than the
Hayward relays it was decided
to forego the latter in order that
Tiger qualifiers in the district
meet eould compete in the state
fhow.
It is too bad the local track
. lads won't be able to enter
the Hayward relays, but It
can't be helped, apparently.
And beiore this war Is over a
lot el other hl?h school ath
, letle teams will probably be
forced to operate under severe
restrictions, along with their
collegiate and professional
brethern.
Medford'a record In the Hay
ward relay la excellent, and it
would have been nice if the cur
rent Tigers could have returned
to defend their laurels. After
wlnntng the meet three years In
a row, the locals placed second
to Vancouver, Wash, last season,
but topped all Oregon high
schools again.
From Joe Wharton of Grants
Pass comes this Information con
cerning the run of spring
Chinook salmon In Rogue river:
"Two weeks behind normal
schedule, the vanguard of the
spring Chinook salmon run has
at last reached our section of the
Rogue. Almost as regular as the
data on the calendar, the first
salmon of each season Is caught
on or about March IS, generally
in the We-Ask-U-Inn pools, just
below Savage Rapids dam.
"Sunday, March 29, George
Schaffer of Ashland, took the
first of the 1942 season, weigh
ing nearly 20 pounds, from the
same water in which Peggie Gib
son, hostess at We-Ask-U-Inn
took the first of the 1941 season,
a 33-pounder, at 3 p. m., March
14.
'Tor soma unaccountable rea
son salmon were late in reach
ing Savage Rapids dam this
year, although all spring condi
tions Indicated an early run.
Salmon 'first appeared In the bay
near Gold Beach late In Janu
ary, but, as weather and water
conditions have remained practi
cally static during the past six
weeks, they seemed in no hurry
to reach the upper Rogue. First
salmon caught in the lower river
was caught March 23, weighing
26 pounds, at Canfied Riffle,
four miles above Gold Beach.
Soon they will come with a
rush, on the next change to
rainy weather, an animated sil
ver horde, and with proper
weather and water conditions
there will be good fishing in our
local waters.
"While It is always dangerous
to make predictions about future
fishing, we are willing to wager
tliat ttic best salmon fishing this
season will be between April 15
and May IS. With late rains to
keep the river up and water
cool, salmon firhlng should con
tinue good until lale June.
"With priority restrictions
on mining material and many
men engaged in war work And
defense preparation, placer
mining has been practically
discontinued en upper Rogue
river end tributaries in Joso
phine county. The Rogue
River Co-ordinetlng board has
issued en order that no free
mud may be released into the
Rogue or its tributaries that
will seriously interfere with

San Francisco, April 1. (P)
Optimistic under a cloud of
wartime restrictions, the Pacific
Coast league opens its 1942
baseball campaign tomorrow,
the first loop in the country to
get under way.
The army has okayed night
games for the time being in this
military area, providing certain
precautions are taken, but It
was expected the limitation of
crowds to 8,000 would stand,
with some exceptions possible
The army can call off games
at any time without notice.
Thus, like all other leagues
and in all ether sports, the pro
gress of the war will determine
the fate of the const lensue.
On the face of things the Se
attle Ralnlers, champions the
last three years, the always
threatening Sacramento Sen
ators and a completely reorjan
ized Los Angeles club appeal
the big three of the loop.
Novikoff May Return
Los Angeles finished seventh
last year but has a wealth o:
new talent and more available
from the parent Chicago Cubs.
Slugging Lou Novikoff, a dis
appointment in the big time so
far, may return to the Angels,
where his batting (home run.'
are his specialty) led the en
tire league.
Seattle lost a great defensive
outfielder In Bill Lawrence, and
three other good players are
gone, but the Ralnlers boast a
sturdy, well-balanced club rich
in pitching strength. Sacramento
has even better pitchers, and

manager, Oscar Vltt, may sur

San Francisco is hampered by
a weak infield and Portland,
the cellar club for the last three
seasons, likely will repeat.
All the opening games will be
in California: Seattle at Sacra

Oakland at Hollywood and Los

J'VILLE. 8-1 ON
FOUR-RUN BUST
A four-run splurge In the sec
ond canto got the Medford Ben
gals rolling toward an 8-1 tri
umph over Jacksonville in a
southern Oregon prep league
diamond contest here yesterday
The victory was the third in
a row for the loop pacing locals.
Capitalizing on two hits, two
walks and two errors, Medford
concocted its sally after the
Redskins tallied their lone coun
ter in the opening inning. The
Tigers chalked up another run
in the fourth inning and scored
the final on three singles
and a Redskin miss-play.
Bill Gitzen, who hurled the
first four stanzas for the locals,
was credited with the win. He
allowed only one bingle, a dou
ble by his mound opponent, Bob
Smith, in the opening frame.
Bill Bayliss was touched for
three blows by Jacksonville in
the final three innings. Medford
collected eight hits off Smith.
Robinson and Adams, who
bludgeoned two for four and
two for five, respectively, were
Medford's chief hitters. Smith
got a double and a single in
four times for the Redskins.
The Bengals made two double
plays during the battle.

Buck Newsom May Wind Up In

years, instead of wasting his particular talents on the more

Manager Bucky Harris, a born

a frame-up of some sort. "Those

that much since last fall," he
insists.
But "Old Fox" Clark Griffith
