Lot Angeles, July 31 Presi
dent Clarence (Pants) Rowland
of the Pacific Coast baseball
league Monday ruled in favor of
Portland in a game played un
der protest with the Raniers at
Seattle last Wednesday.
The Beavers were at bat with
runners on first and second and
one out when pitcher Don Pul
ford hit an infield fly. Because
the infield was playing deep the
second baseman was unable to
catch the ball and it fell safely
with all runners advancing.
Seattle protested that Pulford
was automatically out under the
. .
infield fly rule, but the umpire
ruled otherwise and Rowland
stood behind their decisions.
"The umpires did not think
the ball could be caught so did
not call it an infield fly. There
was no Interference on the play.
Therefore, the protest is not al
lowed." Rowland said.
WITH 269 TOTAL
Chicago, July SI Byron Nel
son, golfdom's biggest money
winner, successfully defended
his all-Amcrlcan open golf cham
pionship yesterday when he won
the $60,000 Tarn O'Shantcr event
with a sizzling 19 under par
and 11 strokes ahead of the field.
Nelson finished with 67 for a
record 72-hole total of 269. He
acquired $10,200 by his run
away victory to swell his year's
earnings to nearly $34,000 In
cash.
A scrap for the $5,000 runner
up spot, 11 strokes behind Nelson
resulted in a tie at 280 bctwepn
Gene Sarazen, who carded a
closing 70, and Lt. Ben Hogan,
who finished with 71.
The victory was Nelson's ninth
straight in individual competi
tion although his triumphant
string began ten tournaments
ago when he and Harold (Jug)
McSpadep won the Miami four
ball meet.
The ail-American amateur ti
tle went to Art Doering, Denver,
Colo., who aggregated 282 with
a closing 72 to finish a stroke
ahead of Flight Officer Frank
Stranahan, of Toledo, and Bob
Cochran, St. Louis.

DEER HUNTING IN
Sacramento, July 31 (U.R)
Deer hunting season opens in
two northern California districts
tomorrow and despite a shortage
of ammunition fish and game
wardens predicted last year's to
tal kill of 6,300 bucks in the
areas will be exceeded.
The districts, in which 48 days
of shooting will be permitted,
are Nos. 2, (except Mendocino
county) and 3. They include the
counties of Sonoma, Marin, Na
pa, Solano, Yolo, that portion of
Colusa lying south of the Ukiah
Lake Tahoe highway, Alameda
Contra Costa, Sants Clara, San
Francisco, San Mateo, Santa
Cruz, Monterey, San Benito
those portions of Kings and Fres
no lying in. the Coast Range
mountains, Merced, Stanislaus,
and San Joaquin west of the, San
Joaquin river.
Deer Plentiful
' Reports to the state division of
fish and game indicated deer are
plentiful in nearly all sections,
and while a lack of ammunition
was said to exist, belief prevailed
that almost everyone who owns
a deer rifle already has, or can
get, shells. Partial lifting of re
strictions on "A" gasoline also
was expected to bring more
hunters into the districts.
. The division warned prospec
tive hunters to be sure and ob
tain their licenses and deer tags,
thereby avoiding unpleasant en
counters with game wardens.
Those expecting to enter na
tional forests should include in
their equipment a shovel and
axe, as well as secure a fire per
mit from the U. S. forest serv
ice, it was pointed out. The per
mits are available at any ranger
station.

ON BEVO SLATE
Portland's rampaging Beavers,
six games ahead of the field in
the Pacific Coast baseball race,
trek to Hollywood for an eight
game scries, opening Wednes
day. Battered by a rugged seven
game series with second-place
Seattle, the Beavers will prob
ably enjoy an extra day of rest
before they tangle with the
Twlnks, resting safely in last
place.
The Bevos dropped the odd
game in their series with the
Suds but are prepared to swell
their percentage figure at ex
pense of the lowly Stars. The
Movlcdom boys may prove a
tough nut for the Portlandera to
crack, though, since the Stars
smacked their cross-town rivals
for six out of seven victories
last week.
Other series this week will
see Seattle at San Francisco, Los
Angeles at Sacramento and Oak
land at San Diego.

Jap Bomber Causes
Drouth on Okinawa
Okinawa, July 31 flJ.R) A
Japanese night bomber which
slipped through an American
fighter plane screen to launch a
torpedo at a freighter anchored
In Naha harbor perpetrated one
of the most inhuman attacks in
Pacific warfare.
The hold of the ship was full
of beer destined for sun-blistered
and thirsty Yanks. The
ship was only slightly damaged
but the damage to the beer was
complete.

Medford has been chosen as
one of 14 cities in the Pacific
Northwest in which professional
basketball will be played twice
a month during the coming sea-
son, according to a letter re
ceived by this department from
Joseph Behoff, promoter-manager
of the Pacific Northwest Pro-
Basketball club. Behoff's letter
seeks information regarding an
available gymnasium, number of
persons lt will accommodate,
and other general information
about our city.
Mention of Behoff's plans
' were printed in this column
some time ago but we still do
not know who Joseph Behoff
is, nor do we know anything
about the Pacific Northwest
Pro-Basketball club. The let
ter states the club has some
great stars in the fold, to be
released later. The idea of
bringing high-class basketball
to Medford appeals but first
we would like to know some
thing about the sponsors.
The letterhead lists Marion L.
Middlebrooks, Portland, as secretary-treasurer
and Dean Wei
ler, Eugene, as business mana
ger. We are sorry, but those
names do not register, either.
Nor have we been able to read
anything In upstate papers re
garding the plan.
A new name broke into the
list of batting averages for the
Medford Craters over the
week-end and bolted right to
the top of the list. The leading
hitter is none other than vet
eran Paul (Hoosier) Hotfard
who is hitting a lusty .556, gar
nered from fire hits out of
nine times at the plate.
Floyd Lawson, in the lead for
nearly a month, was idle against
Central Point last Sunday and
slipped to second place with
.543. Dick Fawcett also broke
Into the standings for the first
time with .400, four hits out of
10 times up. Some of the other
hitters are Paul Freer, .381, Al
Klrcher, .361, Herb Burnham.
.333. Dick Kidwcll, .312, Fred
Stammcn, .282, and George Git-
zen, .203.
Promoter Mack Lillard plans
to resume his weekly pachyderm
contests at the armory about
August 15. If proper arrange
ments can be made with the
muscle manglers, programs will
be staged on Wednesday nights
Instead of the customary Thurs
days. Lillard said he would be
able to bring better matches to
Medford by making the switch.
Definite announcement will be
forthcoming in a few days, the
maestro said.
