PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD. OREGON. FRIDAY. APRIL 10. 1942. Horton Smith and Paul Runyan Co-Leaders of Masters' With 67's, BOTH VETS FIRE FIVE UNDER-PARS Favored Byron Nelson One Stroke Back At 68 'Un beatable' Says McSpaden By Ctyl Talbot Augusta, Ga., April 10. W) The masters' golf tournament, struggling along against dis couraging rain and distracting war news, entered its second round today with Horton Smith and Paul Runyan, a couple of proficient veterans, leading the field with equal 67 's at the first quarter. Strangely enough, scarcely anybody expected either Smith or Runyan to win the tourna ment The favorite, after the wet and bedraggled field of 42 had checked In last night, -was Byron Nelson, who shot a 68 on his first round. When Nelson shoots like that at the start and admits, as he did, that he never felt more certain of his game, then it is hard to make any other choice, Texan Backed Harold "Jug" McSpaden, who played a round with Nelson, was- so enthralled by the tall Texan's game that he offered to bet him against the field. The former open, P.G.A. and Mas ters' champion failed to hit only one green, said McSpaden, and that was because one of his drives came to rest on a rock. "When he's hitting the ball like he Is now, he's unbeatable," Mc Spaden added. Smith and Runyan, however, deserve full credit for great rounds under difficult condi tions. Five under par on the exacting Augusta national course is eye-bugging golf, even when the sun is shining. Smith was In rare from tee to green. Runyan, the little fellow who can't hit ball very far, was helped a great deal by the fact that the course was very fast for most of his round. Also, he took only 26 putts on the 18 holes. Nelson, by comparison, required 32 putts. Augusta, Ga., April 10. (JP) America's leading golf pro fessionals gulped and whistled low today as they read the war production board's order halt ing the manufacture of golf clubs, along with balls and other equipment. "We're just out of business," said U. S. open champion Craig Wood, and others nodded. Ed Dudley, president of the Professional Golfers' associa tion, said, however, that the golfers would carry on. "It's unfortunate that It will be Impossible to make clubs at this time," he said, "but all the pros are Americans, and what ever "they do they are back of the country 100 percent. "There's no doubt the order will curtail golf this year, al though there must be enough on hand for six months. In any event, though, we will carry out our plans for exhibition matches for Red Cross and war relief."

AAU Prexy Approves Army's Amateur Clearing Proposals New Orleans, April 10. (AP) Army proposals clarifying the amateur standing of athletes in military service had the approval today of AAU President Lawrence dl Benedetto who said the inci dent in which an army major rapped the AAU would be dropped. Di Benedetto said in state- ment here that MaJ.-Gen. Milton A. Reckord's proposals that the AAU subscribe to an 8 point statement of principles concern ing athletic competition in war time were satisfactory to him, adding that some of the points al ready are in effect. He particularly praised two points: One that the professional athlete will not be eligible for Amateur Athletic Union tourna ments while in the service, either with army teams or individual clubs; the other that the soldier amateur would lose his standing if he played for personal profit, but playing for benefit or char ity, or bis company, or another official fund would not impair bis status. The AAU head said that if the war department adopts the eight point program, a clearer under standing between the armed forces and the amateur athletic union would be brought about. Dl Benedetto announced that Major Richard O'Connell's ex planation of his recent criticism of the AAAU had been accepted and the incident dropped. Major O'Connell said his remarks, made in Baltimore, were exag gerated and misinterpreted. He recently was quoted as saying the AAU action in the case of Private Martin Passaglia smack ed of "axis efforts by a fifth col umn." Passaglia was suspended from an AAU tournament because his service basketball team met a professional five. Army Mountain Troops To Enter Ski Tourney With Star Civilians Mount Rainier. Wash. April 10 W) Down a course that calls for Iron legs and Iron heart, the best skiers in Uncle Sam's army will match speed tomorrow with the nation s top downhill com petitors in the eighth running of the Race of the Silver Skis. Twenty-five of the field of 94 who will challenge the formid able 3.16-mlle course are mem bers of the army's special moun tain battalion. They have been toughening up on the mountain all winter. The army speed aces are headed by Walter Prager, famed Dartmouth ski coach and former European champion, and several of his former pupils. The civilians are headed by Martin Fopp of Oregon's Timbcrline lodge, the national downhill champion. Sponsors of the colorful event say the race Is the nation's long est annual downhill competition with probably the greatest drop in altitude. Starting high up on the 10.000-foot Itvel of 14 408- foot Rainier the snow trail drops nearly a mile in a series of sharp schusses to Edith creek basin at S 200 feet. It's a race where 60 miles an hour or up is npcdod on the best schusses to finish in the mon?y Pete Radacher's record time of 4:51 4 in 1938 was Just a shade under a 40-mile avcragt for the distance.

Crsin Neutral Spirits FISH, GAME LAWS ANALYZED TO AID Kenneth G. Denman, presi dent of the Rogue River Sports men's club, today issued the following explanation of some of Oregon's fish and game laws for the benefit of new residents of the valley: "It has come to the attention of the Rogue River Sportsmen's club that considerable confus ion exists among newly-arrived persons In the Rogue River val ley as to the seasons and other laws and regulations relating to fish and game, and therefore it is deemed proper that certain of the laws and regulations be set out so that newcomers will know of the same. 'Anyone who has not resided In Oregon for six months and who wishes to fish in the streams of this state, is required to obtain a non-resident anglers license. Anyone who has resided in the state for six months is entitled to a resident fishing and hunting license. "It Is also pointed out that no fishing for steelhead or trout is permitted in any of the streams until April 18, 1942 Fishing for Chinook salmon is permitted at the present time Also, the season Is open for cat fish, crappies, sunfish, perch and bass. However, the bass season will be closed from May 1 to June 30. "Fishing for bullfrogs Is per mitted at the present time but the season Is closed from Anril IS to June 1. Under the Ore gon law, bullfrogs are classified as fish and must be taken by hook and line In the same man ner as trout. It is not pcrmis sable to shoot or spear them and also night fishing for bullfrogs Is not permitted. "Another regulation of which non-residents may not be aware Is the prohibition of boat fish ing in the Rogue river above Bybee's bridge in the Rogue river and its tributaries. Boat fishing is not permitted except from April 18 to July 1. For the remainder of the year, the use of boats In fishing is illegal Below Bybee's bridge there Is no prohibition against the use of boats. In regard to hunting, all seasons on deer, bear, pheas ants, quail, ducks and other wild fowl Is closed, and will not be opened until the fall months, the exact dates of which will be announced later by the state game commission Anyone hunting any kind of legal game is required to have a hunter's license and a nnn resident is required to reside within the state for six months before being entitled to the same. Otherwise a non-resident license is required. "The regulations In regard to nonresidents makes no distinc tion between children and actults. All nonresidents, re gardless of age, must have li censes to fish or hunt. "These are a few of the reg ulations about which there seems to be considcuable con fusion and this information Is given on behalf of the Rogue 15 Proof Lawrenceburg. Indiana 'ANGELS OVERCOME! 15 TO 2 19 Olson And Waitkus Blast Homers For Victors Se attle Blanks Padres, 6-0. Br the Associated Press Manager Bill Skiff gloomily predicted prior to the opening of the Pacific Coast Baseball league season that the Seattle Rainier's only hope for another pennant winning year would be in the development of some standout young pitchers. Last night young Dewey Sor iano, giant righthander, gave Skiff reason for considerable optimism when he held the San Diego Padres scoreless despite a wild streak that had him in hot water several times while his teammates took advantage of Padre errors to score six runs. Soriano walked nine men. struck out five but allowed only two hits. Between Seattle, credited with four straight wins and no losses, and the league trailing Padres are six teams split into I pairs tied for second, third and fourth places. Beavers Third Portland and Los Angeles. engaged in a weekly series, are tied up for third in the stand ing although the Ducks have played eight league games to the Angels four this season. The Angels seem to have taken notice of the many nice things written about them in the pre-season press fanfare. On the home lot yesterday, they slammed three Portland pitch ers for 19 hits and a rout 15 to 2 victory. Barney Olson, fast develop ing Angel slugger, and Eddie Waitkus, a teammate, took hold for home runs. Hollywood and Sacramento, the latter team tied with Oak land for second place, will try to make up the game lost by postponement yesterday in a doubleheader program at Sac ramento tonight. The Stars are tied for fourth position in the standings with San Francisco, which resumes play in its series against Oak land tonight following a weather delay. Short scores: R. H.

APPLEGATE RIVER WILL BE SHORT ON Illinois River Supply Seen Sufficient This Season Rogue Low In Fall. Applegate river water supply is apt to be insufficient for irri gation demands after August 1. when regulation will probably begin, the southern Oregon water forecast committee report completed yesterday states. Ro tation among the older water rights in this area may be ex pected by August 15. The sea son compares with that of 1940. The Illinois river in Josephine county, should supply sufficient water for all Irrigation require ments for the greater part of the season, the report shows. Evans creek. Graves creek. Jump-Off Joe creek and other small streams are expected to have materially less flow, the low-flow stage coming three weeks earlier than last year. Rotation of the iVer water rights is expected by mid-July. Scarcity for Late Use The anticipated shortage of irrigation water in the Rogue river valley will affect late fruits, tomatoes, pastures, and late truck crops. There Is little need of orchard irrigation now, but full use of the spring flood water should be made soon if the spring precipitation con tinues deficient. Talent district has a possibil ity of securing 19.200 acre feet of water from Hiatt Prairie and Emigrant dam combined. Aver age use of water in this district is 16.500 feet. Present prospect is for storage withdrawal by May 15, if rainfall is below nor mal after that date. The Mc Donald creek canal through Wagner Gap is not expected to deliver water after July 15. The report says prospects of -Beer Distributor Phone 2550 1 v'tVWi & : summer rains such as fell last year, are about 1 in 15. Range Outlook Poor Prospects for spring range In Klamath county and the Rogue River national forest are poor, and immediate rains are needed to strengthen tbem. Relative to snow conditions the report states: "April 1 snow water content on snow courses was below av erage, the deviation being rela tively greater at elevations above 5000 feet, but for the area as a whole was greater than last year or the year before at this same time. At one key station, Annie Spring in Crater Lake national park, the snow stored water is the least since 1934. Watershed soil moisture is ap proximately as well restored as last year and is considered as favorable now then to snow run off. Precipitation through the area Is above normal for the six months ending April 1 and crop land soil moisture, except for some recent surface drying, is as good as last year and sub stantially better than in some recent years. The southern Oregon water forecast committee is composed as follows: E. B. Price and Harry Olson, California-Oregon Power com pany; Paul A. A. Ewing, director of irrigation, Berkeley, Calif.; R. M. Kent, manager Talent district; Reed Carter, Grants Pass district; O. K. Beals, coun ty agent. Grants Pass; C. A.
