Bob Feller Returns To
'Cleveland Indians Club
Cleveland, Aug'. 24 U.B
Bullet Bob Feller, who not only
had the best pre-war fast ball but
the best curve In the business,
returned to pitching duties with
the Cleveland Indians today.
hoping he would be able to use
i trick or two he learned in the
navy.
Going against the league lead
ing Detroit Tigers in his re-entry
into the big leagues, Feller in
sists he will "pitch smarter ball"
than he did before leaving the
team.
"And I've got some surprises
in store," he said. "I've been
working hard at Great Lakes
naval station the past few
months and I feel I'm in major
league condition.
Feller is convinced his fast
ball is as fast as it ever was and
that, in addition he has a "dipsy
do" chance of pace pitch.
The new pitch is a slow ball,
a lary drifter that is expected to
make his fast one all the harder
to hit
What worries Feller is the fact
that he hasn't pitched under
lights since going into the serv
ice, even though after . dark
pitching generally helps fast ball
hurlers.
"They might even knock me
out in the first inning," he said.
"I just hope I'U get by, but I
haven't looked at pitching under
the lights in the navy."
Feller, who will get $40,000
for the remainder of the season,
is the key attraction for tonight's
game which is expected to draw
close to 50,000 fans. After a civic
luncheon he will be presented a
jeep at home plate.

The Suds scored four runs in
the seventh inning to defeat Oak

hand Sacramento a 1-0 defeat in
the 10th frame. Hollywood de

Frank Shone's unusual scoring
run from second base on a fly

the Beavers for their victory
over Los Angeles in the opener.
Manager Marv Owen of the Port
land club set the evening's bat
ting record, with three hits in
three times up. Jake Mooty took
his sixth pitching triumph for
the league-leaders, allowing six

could turn them into only seven
runs. Portland added up that
number of runs from a mere
eight hits in the fourth inning,

Rogue river promises some of
the best fishing hereabouts for
the past several weeks now that
the fish are moving out of their
hiding places, Al Pichc, local
piscatorial enthusiast, tells us in
his reDort of where and where
not to fish.
With the irrigation canal
breaking last Tuesday, Big Butte
was a stream of red mud which
discolored the upper river and
stopped fish from striking. By
the week-end the river should be
cleared up again.
Three Medford anglers who
with their names withheld
made one of the best catches
of the season on spinners and
flies during the past week. A
total of II fiih ranging from
two pounds up to seven, con
sisting of seven iteelheads and
four jack salmon, were taken
above the Elks picnic grounds
In fast water.
Reports from other spots:
Diamond lake is reported fair,
fishing being spotty from day to
day . . Hiatt lake is still fur
nishing the anglers with good
sport on crappies and small bass,
while a few large mouths are
caught on plugs . . Squaw lake
is furnishing large catfish at up
per end of the lake, from shore.
Water is still too high for good
trout fishing and the road Is
steep and night . . . Four Mile
lake is only fair If no wind is
blowing with the road far from
passable to the average car.
