I94S Dodgers, Tigers Face Big Chance In Pennant Chase New York, June 22 (U.R) A "golden opportunity" to run way with the pennant races faces the leading Brooklyn Dodg ers and Detroit Tigers today.

Art Herring beat the Phils Wednesday and Cy Buker, rookie from St. Paul, topped them again yesterday, 9 to 2. The Tigers, unlike Brooklyn, have been contenders, but gained stature when they moved into first place after losing Ace Pitch er Alton Benton with a broken ankle. Now Benton is about ready to return along with Hank Greenberg, home run specialist back from the army. Frank (Stubby) Overmire won his fifth game yesterday against two defeats, beating the Indians, 5 to 1.

PLAYER SOLD Hollywood, June 22-(U.R)-The Hollywood Stars today an nounced the sale of right handed Pitcher Alex Weldon to Little Rock of the Southern Association. The most serious type of vehicular accident Is the grade crossing collision. Poor visibility accounts for nearly one-half of such accidents. Klamath river looms as the hot spot for fishermen with enough gasoline to get there over the week-end, says Al Piche in his weekly "where and where not" to fish. Angling is good by the bridge going to Klamath Falls and fish will take most any spinner or flies In little eddies and holes. Lake fishing Is poor this week end due to floating Algie which comes up from the bottom at this time of season. Diamond and Fish lakes are expected to im prove shortly and, now that two more gallons of gas are available, more fishermen are expected to trek to the mountain lakes and streams. Salmon fishing In Rogue river is slow and spotty. A few catches are being made at Gold Ray while upstream fish are settling in the spawning beds but in an other week salmon fishing should be at its height. Dr. and Mrs. A. W. Glutsch landed three salmon, two steelhead and sev eral cutthroats Wednesday near Dodge Bridge. Best results are obtained with either four, five or six spinners in brass or 50-50 finishes. Trout fishing In smaller streams has been good on spin ners, with many nice ones being caught on flies In patterns of Mosquito, Brown Hackle and Professor. Single egg fishing is popular in holes and runs but not successful in riffles. Prospect Dam Is providing fine angling with best results on light tackle and worms. Emigrant lake is still good on catfish with occasional catches of big rain bows. Trolling brings best re sults while shore fishing is good between the point and the dam.
