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.

ing his mark in the dust of the:
Saratoga raceway, was the all-1
time three-year-old king of the

heat record for a mile for horses

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.

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.

REACHING PEAK
Considerable Interest Is devel
oping in the grudge baseball
game between Medford Craters
and Central Point Studs which
has been scheduled for the Fair
grounds park Sunday, beginning
with a preliminary at 1:30 p. m.
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. !
Jess Van Horn, former semi-
pro pitcher from Yakima, will
get the starting call for the!
mound if his sore arm is in:
shape. If he is not able to go, ,
Dick Kidwcll will probaolyi
start. Remainder of the starting ,
lineup for the Craters will be!
the same as in past games withj
ueorge uitzen doing the receiv
ing, Homer Sullivan on first
base, Fred Stammen at the key
stone spot, Harold Lange at
third base, Al Kircher at short
stop and Paul (Hoosier) Hoffard

New York, Aug. 17 (U.R)
America's stirring pre-war sports
classic of speed and spills, the
500-mile Memorial day automo
bile race at Indianapolis will be
restored next year and it is rea
sonably certain new world
marks will be set, President Ed
die Rickenbacker of the associa
tion said today.
Rickenbacker, America's
famed "speed-boy" of land and
air in two world wars, who also
Is head of Eastern Airlines, said
there seemed little doubt that
the present mark of 117.2 miles
per hour set in 1938 would be
surpassed.
"New developments, such as
Jet propulsion, gas turbines, and
many other things we've learned
during the war will be put to use
in the race," Rickenbacker said.
He made his announcement
shortly after the Office of De
fense Transportation lifted the
war-time restrictions imposed on
automobile racing.
At Indianapolis, Wilbur Shaw,
a three-time winner of the clas
sic, said that he had his own car
"ready to go."

Plaaae remember.
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.

Maybe the Yankees won't have
to wait until next year.
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.
But the help will have to be
forthcoming in a hurry. That was
evident at St. Louis last night
as the Brownies came from be
hind to win, 7 to 2.
Washington Stopped
Hal Newhouser of the Tigers
was an ample antidote for Emil
(Dutch) Leonard of the Senators
in the "crucial scries" at Detroit.
Newhouser boat Washington for
his 11th straight time. 9 to 2, to
gain nis 19th win of the season
and put Detroit three and a half
games in front.
Dave Fcrriss of the Red Sox
made his first night game start
and didn't like it. Trying for his
20th victory against the White
Sox at Chicago, the big rookie
was hammered for 12 hits before
going out in the fifth and he
was the loser, 11 to 3. It was his
sixth defeat.
The Indians topped Philadel
phia. 7 to 6, at Cleveland with a
run in the ninth produced by
Dutch Meyer's single.
Chicago Lead Cut
Chicago's National league lead
was reduced to five games at
Brooklyn when the Dodgers
evened the series with a 2 to 1
victory.
Ken Burkhardt's two-hit pitch
ing gave the Cardinals a 4 to 0
victory at Philadelphia.
Cincinnati snapped its 13-game
losing streak with a twin win
at Boston, 5 to 3.
Ace Adams saved Van Llnglc
Mungo's 2 to 1 Giant victory
over the Pirates at New York by
retiring the side with the bases

the fourth stopped Elwyn Roe's
string of scorless innings at
22-23.
OUT TWIN WINS
By United Press
Portland eked out two 1 to 0
