By Nelson Trails in First Round of Memphis Open Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 17 (U.R) Golf's "trust-busters," out to break up the Byron Nelson monopoly, were off to a good start today. Two players were ahead of him and five otners equal after a blazing first round display of sub-par golf in the $13,333 Memphis open. Out in front were Harold (Jug) McSpaden of Sanford, Me-, and Bob Cochran, the amateur vet eran from St. Louis, Mo-, each with four under par 68's. Next were Nelson with a 69 and the five players he couldn't shake, Leonard Dodson of Kan sas City, Mo., George Low of Clearwater, Fla., Morrie Gravatt of Mobile, Ala., Gib Sellers of Hot Springs, Ark., and Jimmie Hines of Chicago. Nelson played steady golf all the way around and seldom was in trouble. Seeking his 11th straight tournament victory, op ponents were mindful that he usually is at his best in the later rounds when he is forced to bear down. Five players were tied with two-under par 70's. They were Sammy Snead of Hot Springs, Va., Vic Ghezzi of Deal, N- J-, Mike Demassey of Lookout Mountain, Tenn., and Leonard Ott of Joplin, Mo. Pro Virgil Shreeve of San Francisco shot an even par 72. Titan Hanover King Of Harness Horses; Breaks Two Records Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Aug-) 17 (U.R) Titan Hanover, mak- ing his mark in the dust of the: Saratoga raceway, was the all-1 time three-year-old king of the harness horses today. I The recent winner of the Ham-! bletonian set a world record for, three-year-olds last night w.ien he ran the mile in 2:03 flat, then equalled it later by winning the second heat in exactly the same time. He also beat the world two heat record for a mile for horses of all ages, a mark previously held by Spencer Scott. He also knocked four and three-quarter seconds from the previous mark of Darnley, which held the two heat mark for three-year-olds. HAGG LOSES EDGE Stockholm, Aug. 17 (U.R) Gunder Hagg appeared today to have lost the fine edge which enabled him to set a new world mile record earlier in the sum mer. Seeking to top his own two-mile mark of 8:42 8 at Boraas stadium yesterday, he ran the distance in The compara tively slow time of 9:02.6. Closing time tor Classified Ads 8:30 a. m. loo Late to Classify 12:18 p. m. s ARE DISCOVERED CRATERS, STUDS Roach minnows, similar to chubs, which are common in Klamath county, have been dis covered by the Oregon State Game commission in Diamond lake and in Fish lake near Alt McLaughlin. Such roach are now from two to three inches long and are one or two years old. At maturity the fish will become six to seven inches long. The presence of roach In Twin lakes south of Bend, made the poisoning of these lakes neces sary and such is very expensive and difficult, the commission stated. Such fish are very hard I to control and reproduce so fast j that they become extremely ' numerous and they compete di-' rectiy with trout for food and will deplete the available sup ply. Placed By Fishermen Roach in Diamond lake and Fish lake must have been placed in these lakes by fisher men who unwisely brought the minnows to the lakes to be used as live bait. After completing their fishing, the fishermen, per haps in ignorance, released in the lakes the roach they had left over from their fishing, the com mission surmises. Oregon law prohibits the plac ing in or transporting to any lake or stream of any non-native or non-resident fish- Besides roach, in some other streams and lakes in Oregon, perch, bass and crap pies have been illegally placed and have ruined the trout fishing in sucn streams or lakes.

Orphans and Girls Community club, both members of the girls Softball league, will meet in the 1:30 half of the double header. . Crater. Manager Paul Freer and Bill Askwith, Stud boss, are reported to have wagered $50 on the game's outcome, so bitter is the feud which has arisen be tween the clubs over the past few weeks- The controversy over which has the better team has also caused some debate be tween players and other smaller wagers are expected to be placed before game time. Askwith, backed up by his players, charges poor umpiring has resulted in bad deals for the Studs and his only stipulation for the game was a "square deal." Freer said his statement, made earlier in the season, that he would rather beat Central i Point than any other team in the sfate of Oregon, still holds true I and points to Medford's three I straight victories over the Studs ! as proof that the Craters can do j it again. !

Lifting of gasoline rationing is expected to see a multitude of fishermen flocking to streams and lakes over the week-end. Reports sent to Al Piche and te layed to this column say salmon are being taken at Gold Beach with a run of steelhead entering the river. A few spots in Rogue river have yielded good fishing over the past week with a stretch between Dodge and Bybee bridges providing steelhead and jack salmon, taking most any fly. Eggs and small spin ners are catching plenty of fish between the mouth of Little Butte creek and the Military bridge. Anglers who fished Four Mile lake over the past week claim fishing is fair with silversides averaging about 12 inches being taken but the road is in such rough condition that it is more than a one-day trip. Big Applegate has been fair on flies far up stream but the water is exceptionally clear, making it necessary for the angler to fish far ahead. Big Butte creek is reported very good by Butte Falls fishermen and fish are taking flies and small spinners. Il linois Falls is not yet ready but promises some lively fish ing in the fall. Diamond lake is fair on troll and good on bait fishing. Some enthusiasts are having success with flies. On an average, few fish were reported caught at the lake last week although a vast number of anglers tried their luck.

Talking pennant with the team Involved in its longest losing streak of the season, seven straight games, sounds like some thing out of the hat, but with quick asistance from Uncle Sam it could be. Charley Keller has swapped his merchant marine ensign's uniform for baseball flannels and may take over in the outfield by Sunday; Joe DiMagglo is ex pected to get his release from the army any day now. Those pre-war sluggers, comprising the most powerful one-two punch of any major league club might make the difference with six weeks of the season remaining.
