Civil war, because deep in the

been a major league baseball
team around in four years.
Besides the Yankees baseball
variety are a far cry from the
dam Yankees who brought bayo
nets instead of ball bats in the
'60's. They've got Joe DiMaggio.
And Charley Keller, and Phil
Bizzuto, spud Chandler, even

To Tour Panama
The Yankees will go direct
from here to Miami after which
headquarters will be established
in St. Petersburg, Fla., and the
team will begin an, elaborate
training tour to the Panama
Canal zone.
The Yankees also will go
"deep In 'he heart of Texas" in
their tour of the sunny side of
the Mason-Dixon line.
There were 13 Yankees along
with Manager Joe McCarthy in
the group that left New York
today. They will be joined by
19 more players and Coach John
Schulte and Trainer Ed Froe
lich at Miami.
To Go By Plane
The Panama trip will begin
on Feb. 9 when the combined
party will go by plane to the
Cartel zone for a series of 11
games with U. S. army and local
professional teams.
The Yankees now have, but
six players left on their nation
al defense list, but most are top
performers Most sorely needed
are third baseman Billy Johnson,
rookie of the year in 1943, and
outfielder Johnny Lindell, who
was developing into one of the
team's top hitters when he went
in after the 1944 season.
Others yet to be discharged
are outfielder Roy Weatherly,
and pitchers Charley Wensloff,
Al Lyons and Vince Diblasi.
Welter Champ To
Take Needed Rest
New York, Feb. 7 (U.PJ
Marty Servo, new welterweight
champion who is leaving today
for a brief Florida vacation, said
that he probably would meet
the winner of tomorrow's Johnny
Greco-Beau Jack fight soon in
a non-title bout.
Servo will not risk his crown
until May 24 when he opposes
Ray (Sugar) Robinson In a 15
round title bout at the Garden.
However, he said he expected
to engage in at least one tune
up bout before the title test.

Joe Lynam continued his
"jinx" over Jack Lipscomb in
the main event at Medford arm
ory last night when he gave
the ex-Hoosier a sound thrash'
ing to take two straight falls.
Lynam, who won the first fall
when Lipscomb refused to break
a reverse headlock, showed no
mercy on his heavier foe in tak
ing the second in four minutes
and 15 seconds of the fourth
round with a body stretch. Ly
nam, coast champion, was so
angered at Lipscomb's dirty
work that Referee Wally Moss
had to hold the champ for more
than a minute after the match
ended to let him "cool off."
Pete BfJcastro's over-anxiety
cost him his match with popu
lar Pierre LaBelle In the semi-
windup. LaBelle took the first
fall in the second round with
sonnenburgs, a drop kick and
body press but Pete evened the
score in the third with upper
cuts and a press. Belcastro threw
LaBelle out of the ring in the
fourth round and when he
wouldn't let him return, Moss
stopped the bout.
Sgt. Bob Kenaston of Gold
Hill made his return to the mat
a success as he drew a heavy
round of applause in his match
with Gust Johnson. They went
to a draw in the opener, each
taking a fall. Kenaston showed
considerable speed and crafts
manship and a lot of his former
fire.

Rogue River Country of Post Article
Strange to Those Who Live in Region
Medford residents are reading
with Interest, tinged with sur
prise, of the Rogue River coun
try as described by Jean Muir
of Portland in this week s issue
of the Saturday Evening Post
In the colorful article Miss Muir
tells how the Rogue River coun
try has become the stronghold
of a hardy group of nesters and
hermits making a last ditch
stand against invasion by sum
mer sportsmen and Hollywood
stars. .
The article, entitled "The
Hermits Who Hate Hollywood'
is spiced with a number of leg
endary tales, some of which date
back to the country's earliest
settlers and have been repeated
in varying forms for years, and
is illustrated with a number of
colored photographs of prospec
tors, fishermen and Grants Pass
bathing beauties.
Fishing Described
The Rogue's fabulous fishing
is given proper space by the
writer and she describes how
sportsmen come from all over
the world to shoot the rapids
from Grants Fass to Gold Beach.
Gathering considerable mater
ial from the lower Rogue sec
tion, Miss Muir tells how Mule
Creek canyon, where the Rogue
sweeps for two miles through
a canyon so narrow that it is
only 10 feet wide in spots, pro
tects from the outside world the
inhabitants of a quarter million
acres of forest. There, says Miss
Muir, bears outnumber the in
habitants 10 to one and both the
bears and the people like it that
way.
Writing of the hermits she
quotes a resident as saying "All
they do is sit down and hate
people. I remember an old man

WEATHER
Northern California Clearing
today with scattered showers
and snow flurries In the moun-
stopped me once on the trail
and asked who was president.
I told him Franklin D. Roosevelt.
'How long' he been In?' he ask
ed, and I told him 11 years.
He just gave me a hurt look and
faded away among the trees.
Figured I was kidding him, see?"
Start Come
Miss Muir describes how Hol
lywood stars, Including Clark
Gable and Ginger Rogers, have
established themselves along the
upper Rogue near Medford and
have taken up river frontage.
"The coming of the summer
sportsmei has been marked by
the sudden appearance of fences
and no-tresspass signs." the ar
ticle says. 'Old timers claim the
river is navigable stream and
its meander line a public thor
oughfare."
"The discussion erupted last
winter into tl e legislature. One
bill was jacked by the river
bank owners, another by the
landless. Both bills were thrown
out."
Many Jackson and Josephine
county residents learned for the
first time from the article that
meetings were held to discuss a
projected road along the river
to open the interior Rogue, one
of the scenic delights of Oregon,
and that the project was dis
cussed at length and quietly
abandoned. The nesters, hermits
and placer miners were polish
ing up their shotguns. "If the
ou'.landers push in too far, they
may find they have a cougar
by the tall," the article con
cludes.
The author took a two-weeks'
vacation from the staff of the
Portland Journal 'last summer
and gathered material for the ar
ticle.
