SIX MSDPOBD (OKEQON) MAIL TRIBUNE
Rogues Manager Optimistic
About Chances of Pro Team
Santa Marie, Cal., Apr. 12
(Special To Mail Tribune Man
ager Tommy Nelson of the Med
fnrri Rneuen todav cx Dressed
optimism over the prospect of
the rar west league eniry.
"Our Infield of Mike Lohbeck
at first, Al Bolen at third, Russ
Stuart at short and Norman
Harms at second looks good,"
Nelson beamed.
Veterans Don Gersbach and
Lloyd Jones have shown good
form on the mound, as have
rookie Don Dirks and Vern Her
man." Nelson indicated.
Outfield Help
The Medford playing manager
said he could "use some help in
the outfield." Nelson himself
will handle the catching duties.
The Rogues today released
eight players, including six pit
chers. Released were Ray Fren
na, outfielder; Joe Yanchuck,
catcher, and pitchers Mel Gol
lcgos, Buddy Closs, Ralph Dykes,
Jim Luker, Lloyd Anderson and
Roland Depee.
The club has shown "lots of
hustle," Nelson stated.
Infield Play Good
Nelson was especially proud
of the showing of the infield.
The double-play combination of
Stuart and Harms has captured
the skipper's eye.
Stuart, a Duarte high school
prep star, hit .218 for Reno of
the Sunset league last year.
Harms hit .380 for Idaho Falls
of the Pioneer league last year
in eight games before being side
lined for the year with a broken
leg.
Medford lost a 5-4, 10 inning
contest to Idaho Falls Sunday
at Elks field, spring training
park for both teams.
Idaho Drills Lonaer
Idaho Falls, a week ahead of
the Rogues in training, garnered
eight hits off of Closs. Dirks,
Depee and Dykes. Three Russett
tossers held Medford to three
blows.
Medford scored three times In
the second on two walks, two
errors and a hit. Idaho took the
lead In the fifth with two runs,
but the Rogues tied it up in the
ninth by taking advantage of
two Russett bobbles. A double
sacrifice and single accounted
for the winning tally in the
tenth.

Rogue Relay
On Saturday
Klamath Falls will be defend
ing its 1949 Rogue relays title
Saturday afternoon when the
fifth annual event draws four
schools of southern Oregon to
the Medford high field with
events slated to start at 1:30 p.m.
Medford won second in the
Rogues last year and then went
on to place second in the Hay
wards behind Klamath Falls.
The Tornado, however, did win
the state track meet, which in
cludes both relays and straight
track events.
The Rogue relays, recognized
throughout Oregon among high
schools as a good indication of
top schools in the Hayward re
lays, was started in 1946 by Bill
Bowerman, now track coach at
the University of Oregon.'
Bowerman's idea was to use
it as a "arm-up" for the Hay
wards which come one to two
weeks later in the spring each
year. Every year the Rogues re
lays have proven more than Just
a "warm-up" as with few excep
tions the winners down Here
have been top teams in the Hay
wards. Eleven events will be run off
Saturday afternoon at the local
field wilh six of thern so-called
field events and five running,
including the always popular
distance medley.

Rogue River
Salmon Run
On Increase
The 1949 Jtogue river silver
salmon run was more than dou
ble its 1946 parent run, Cole
Rivers, game commission fishery
agent, said today.
Recently the last silver salmon
of the 1949 run was counted
over Gold Ray dam near Med
ford. This run totaled 9,440 sil
vers, including 405 jacks or
young male silver salmon.
In 1946, only 3,840 silvers
were tallied over counting
boards at the dam fish ladder,
Rivers said.
The bulk of the silvers reached
their spawning grounds in No
vember and December and 285
spawning female silvers were
stripped of their eggs at the
Butte Falls fish hatchery. These
fkh yielded 774,000 eggs.
Young silvers hatched from
these eggs will be held for a year
at the hatchery and released at 6
to 8 inches in length. Normally
a young silver salmon spends a
year in fresh water before going
to sea and it is during this pe
riod that the greatest loss is sus
tained, continued Rivers.
The present practice of plant
ing yearling silvers from the
Butte Falls hatchery coupled
with the game commission's irri
gation screening activities on the
Rogue are believed responsible
for the large 1949 run. he said.
Butte Falls Gun
Club Holds Meet
Butte Falls, Apr. 12 Butte
Falls Gun club held a regular
meeting April 5 at the home of
Clay Conley. Thirty-five mem
bers and visitors were present.
New members joining the
club were George Rowden, Max
Richmond and Robert Beeman.
An executive of the big game
division of the game commis
sion spoke on getting elk in this
region. He explained that the
methods of catching them were
too costly. He also stressed the
fact that they would harm the
country more than help it as
they would eat the deer's food.
Cole Rivers, game commission
er and biologist, spoke on distri
bution of fish, how they deter
mined how many fish to put
into each stream, and how they
were trying to develop better
fishing grounds.
The business meeting followed
with a discussion of how to bet
ter the clubhouse. They also dis
cussed possibility of building a
community hall. Bill Thomas
was appointed head of this
group.
The Gun club meets the first
Tuesday of each month.

Wings Take
Hockey Lead
Detroit, April 1 2 (U.R) De
troit's crippled Red Wings, un
ruffled by the brutal Toronto se
ries or the breakup of hockey's
outstanding line, threatened to
day to turn the Stanley cup fi
nals into a walkaway.
Only in the first period of last
night's 4 to 1 breeze over the
New York Rangers did the Wings
show the expected effects of the
grueling seven-game contest with
the Maple Leafs.
But they snapped out of their
lethargy by scoring all of their
four goals in the second stanza
and coasting on to victory in the
first game of the best-of-seven
series.
The teams meet again tomor
row and Saturday on the Rang
ers' neutral ice at Toronto and
then return to Detroit for all nec
essary remaining games next
week.
