Paavo K a t o n e n undergoes
probably his most severe local
grappling test in the armory to

Wash., riding high on the wings
of sn undefeated live-week cam

Clashing in the one-hour, two-out-of-three-fall
main event, the
pair will bring to local fans the
most scientific exhibition of the

pion, in the four-round middle
event. Morelli, due to hisuper
ior strength and disregard of
wrestling ethics, Is favored to
whip the lighter Parks.
Pat O'Dowdy, another mean
man, goes against Tex Porter, a
mat scientist, In the opener,
slated for three rounds or the
best two out of three falls. This
bout will begin at 8:30 sharp.
Katonen, the Pacific coast
light-heavy monarch, is expect
ed to have his hands full with
Kaiser, considered In grappling
circles to ba the most up-and-coming
youngster In his class.
Kaiser appeared here three
times in May, and although fall
ing to notch a victory, he dis
played more real class than any
matman who has showed in
Medford since the game was re
vived. Leaving Oregon, Kaiser
went to southern California and
there hit his real stride.
Big Card
Meeting the leading light
heavyweights fn and around Los

didn't lose a match ln five weeks

He figures to make the big,
Finnish lefthander step high ln
order to retain his rating as num
ber one wrestler In Medford,
where he has been beaten only
once In nine starts. Some local
observers believe Katonen can
be had by a scientific workman

MANY ROGUE FISH
M. Rivers, resident blol
the Rogue River district,
written an article in which
he tells of reports that many fish
in Rogue River are dying of fun
gus Infections. The article fol
lows: Reports of dying fish in the
Rogue river have been coming in
from many sources. Most of the
reports have been 8bout the
Galice and Hellgate district.
This past week the waters of
the Rogue have recorded around
78 degrees F. at several places
In Josephine county and a re
port of water temperatures
around Agness at 81. degrees F.
Trout and salmon can stand wa
ter temperatures up to 83 de
grees F.
Many fish are dying of fungus
infections which are quite pre
dominant this year In the waters
of the Rogue. A plausible the-

There are a few things people
of the county can do to help. At
the mouths of the cooler tribu
taries, channels should be cut to
allow easier access Into the
creeks for the small trout and
salmon. Cooler water will help
these weakened fish to, recover.
Feed the fish accumulated In the
creeks with scrap meat (if any)
or gather the dead fish and grind
them up, wash In a 3 or 4 per
cent salt solution to kill the fun
gus present on the dead fish, and
mix with bread, egg mash or
meal and water.
Good feeding conditions are
usually not available for great
concentrations of fish In smaller
tributaries and good food con
ditions are essential to the fish
to combat their fungus Infec
tions. This Is probably only the start
of this year's mortality from
warm water and fungus. The wa
ter Is bound to get warmer be
fore the season is over and many
more flsh will perish as the re
sult. The game commission Is short
handed and unable to work on
all the tributaries In the river
below Grants Pass. Cooperation
from the sportsmen and others,
especially those living near the
mouths of the tributaries, will
certainly be appreciated.

Cuddy Sees All-St. Louis
Series, Fans Liking Browns
Br Jek Cuddy
United Press Staff Correspondent
New York, Aug. 3. (U.R) While there are still enough leaves
on the trees to provide protective cover from snipers, we're moving
out on a limb today to predict that Bob Muncrlef of the Browns is
going to pitch against Morton Cooper of the Cardinals In the first
game of an all-St. Louis world series.
Knowing full well that the
trees shed their leaves by world
series time, we re willing to
stake out a claim on our branch
(not Branch Rickey) and park
there until the Yankees, Red
Sox, Indians or Tigers come
along and prove we're wrong.
There'll be company on the
limb, too. The St. Louis fandom
at long last is waking up to
the fact that the long denied
Brownies are on their way to
their first pennant.
They've been skeptical and
with good reason. Year after
year they have watched the
team either totter and dodder
in the second division or fold up
after a good front run and yield
the top spot to some other club.
The rest of the nation accepted
the Browns this year before
their own fans did. Disappoint
ments born of too many failures
made them the poorest drawing
club in either league until their
recent home stand when the fans
finally began to take them
seriously.
Now, our St. Louis operative
Informs us, they are getting
leady to go wild. The team is
five and a half games in front,
readying itself for the last trip
east, which will make or break
its chances. If, after invading
the parks of the eastern contend
ers, the Yankees and the Red
Sox, they are able to come home
still in front, the fans will "tear
down the ball park." And there
' precedent for that. too.
Louig ha, a,w; b
always been an
American league town." our in
formant says. "In 1922 on Labor
day when they drew a full house
for a double header, the fans got
so excited they ripped up the
seats and tore the wooden sides
off the park. After that they
put up concrete sides, but there
Is no telling what the fans will
do If the Browns come home in
front."
He emphasizes that St Louls
ans, by nature cautious,, have
been waiting to see what hap
pens, but that they will swing
over to the support of the
Cards If the teams meet in the
i series.

ELMER RIDDLE 10
HAVE OPERATION
ON BAD FLIPPER
New York. Aug. 3 (UP)
Lame-armed Elmer Riddle' of the
Cincinnati Reds Is going to a
hospital Instead of the ball park
today, thereby putting a climax
to the most ironic story of the
baseball season, because he
the one guy who might have
kept his team within striking
distance of the St. Louis Card
inals. What happened to Riddle is a
riddle, but the day his arm went
dead in a game early this sea
son may well be regarded as
the one which blasted the bare
chance the Reds had for de
throning the Cardinals.
Whether the operation for re
moval of a calcium deposit in
his right shoulder will enable
him to pitch again will be a
sequel story, but it is certain that
he can't help the Reds of 1944
at this belated date.
Cincinnati now is 16 games
behind the Cardinals and has
been all but mathematically
counted out. Last year at this
time, Riddle had 14 victories and
went on to win 21, tying with
Mort Cooper of the Cards for
the league's top record. Hypo
thetically assuming that he had
encountered no arm "miseries"
and had done as well this year,
the Reds would have been many
strides closer to the Cards.
The Cardinals picked up an
other half game at Pittsburgh
last night, defeating the Pirates
8 to 4 on Max Lanier's five-hit
pitching Job. The Pirates made
all their runs in the third when
they made two hits count for
four tallies. St. Louis, tapping
three Pirate pitchers for 12 hits,
gave starter Truett (Rip) Sewell
his ninth beating of the year.
The Philadelphia Athletics
split a double bill at Chicago,
winning the first game 9 to 3
with a seven-run rally in the
ninth Inning and dropping the
second, 7 to 3.
Chicago at Philadelphia in the
National was postponed because
of the transportation strike and
there were no other games
scheduled.

FLYING FORTRESS
New York, Aug. 3 AJ.R).
The war finance committee an
nounced today that bonds pur
chased by sports fans at various
boxing events had netted enough
to purchase a Flying Fortress
and that the ship will be in ac
tion soon over Germany.
The bonds were bought during
the war loan last January and
February. Most of the money
raised in an auction of boxing
gloves and equipment at a fight
ing between Beau Jack and
Sammy Angott at Madison
Square Garden, January 28.
The committee announced that
if there is a sellout for the war
bond bout tomorrow night be
tween Beau Jack and Bob Mont

money will be raised for pur
chase of two B-17 Fortresses or
the equivalent in war materiel.

Billiards Bua for
After-War Boom, Is
Cochran Prediction
By Hal Wood
United Pess Correspondent
San Francisco, Aug. 3 (U.R)
Make way for the post-war
sports boom folks and remem
ber that the promoters, just an
even lou per cent strong, are
going to be the first to holler "I
told ya so!
With that malignant thought
in mind, we called on Welker
Cochran, the many-time balkline
(4) and three-cushion billiards
(3) champion, to get his opinion
on what the future held alqng
his special line.
The gray-thatched master of
the cue was taking life easy in
his luxurious billiards emporium
here, waiting for the daily after
noon and evening rush that
comes as regularly as the hands
whirl around the clock.
"Why, yes," he answered to
our question, "we look to see
billiards take their biggest boom
in history after the war has been
won.
"In the first place, the old
time pool hall is a thing of the
past and billiards, taking a cue
(to coin a phrase) from what hap
pened in the bowling game, will
be presented in a dressed-up
form.
"I don't think plans officially
have been announced yet, but
such big firms as Brunswick-Balke-Callendar
already are
pushing post-war programs that
will call for elaborate billiard
parlors that include cocktail
lounges, television, news reel
theaters, restaurants and bowl
ing alleys."
Pausing only long enough to
take a deep breath, Cochran con
tinued: "And the thing that really will
get the big boom under way
will be when the women join the
men, Just as they have done in
the bowling game. There is no
reason in the world why a worn
an shouldn't be as good (if not
better) at billiards as the aver
age man."
In 1943 dentists averaged 50
hours of work on 51 patients a
week, while the year before
they worked an average of 47
hours on 44 patients.

PAYETTE SERPENT
GIVES BELIEVERS
n
McCall, Idaho, Aug. 3 (U.R)
The "believers in the Payette
lakes sea serpent put another ar
row in their quiver here today to
bolster their fight for recogni
tion when Mrs. Jack Hogue, Pay-
ette, Idaho, reported she had
seen the monster rear its head
at least two feet out of the wa
ter and remain on the surface
for several minutes.
The "believers" and the "un
believers" hava been battling
out the question of the sea ser
pent's reality- here for the past
15 years. The believers, who
have supposedly seen the writh
ing beast, say he's the real thing,
while the skeptics attribute his
"existence" to "bad whisky."
Mrs. Hoge and three others to
day said they saw the serpent,
which they described as about
35 feet long, with a head some
what like a submarine periscope.
This was the second party in
less than a week reporting to
have sighted the water monster.
The more geologically-inclined
of the "believers" explain that
the serpent is probably a sur
vivor pf an otherwise extinct
species of marine reptile, since
the seven-mile-long lake was at
least 150 miles long in prehis
toric times.
