Bolen Leaves
Rogues Team
Pitcher Due
A "give and take" proposition
involving the Medford Rogues
and the Idaho Falls team In the
class C Pioneer league, both
farm clubs ot the New York
Giants, hit a snag today with
the announcement that Idaho
Falls probably will wait a week
or so to send its player.
What happened was that Med
ford needs a veteran pitcher and
a deal was worked out that sent
Third Baseman Al Bolen to
Idaho Falls in exchange for that
hurler. Business Manager Mel
Carpenter of the Rogues ex
pected the hurler to come right
away so Bolen left yesterday.
However, word came late yes
terday that Idaho Falls could
not fulfill its end of the bargain
so soon. Bolen is on his way
east to Idaho Falls and Medford
is lacking a pitcher.
The Idaho club was long on
veteran players and short on
rookies so the deal with the
Rogues was figured to help both
clubs. Carpenter explained here.

Meet Slated
Milwaukee. June 9 (U.R) A
record field of trackmen from 53
colleges threaten the records at
the 25th ,mual Central Collegi
ate Track and Field meet in Mar
quette stadium tomorrow.
"At least 9 of the 16 records
are in danger," Athletic Direct
ors Conrad Jennings of Mar
quette and Ralph Young of Mich
igan State agreed. They will be
co-referees at the silver anni
versary of the meet they founded
with the late Knute Rockne of
Notre Dame.
Michigan State ranked as the
favorite to retain the team title
and the Rockne Memorial trophy.
The biggest opposition probably
will come from Wisconsin. Notre
Dame, Michigan Normal and
Oklahoma A. & M.
Danny Stupur, former Med
ford Nuggets hurler and now
with Pueblo, Colo., of the class
A Western league, has been plac
ed on the disabled list because
of a spur on his pitching elbow.

Golfing Kid
Paces 'Open'
Ardmore, Pa., June 9 (U.Rl
A golfing whiz Kid from Ala
bama shot the best round in the
50-year-old history of the U. S.
open championship and the ques
tion today as the field teed off
for the second round was wheth
er he was a one-day wonder.
Most of the 161 golfers who
set out to overtake him figure he
was.
But not Lee Mackey Jr., a 26-
year-old unemployed professional
from Birmingham, Ala., wno
really burned the treacherous
Merion Country club links up
brown yesterday when he shot
a six nnder par 64.
The crew-cutted six footer, an
unknown among the host of her
alded golfers trying for the
championship, put his better
known contemporaries to shame
with his long and straight tee
shots, his superb iron play and
his precision putting.

Oregon Jobless
Payments Decline
36.6 Per Cent
Salem, Ore., June 0 (U.R)
Payments to Oregon's unemploy
ed declined in May to $1,225,
613, lowest monthly figure since
July,, 1949, the state unemploy
ment compensation commission
repotted today.
The May total was a drop of
36.6 per cent from April and
16.8 per cent from a year ago.
Benefits Exhausted
Only 9,690 persons received
checks during the last week of
May compared with 18,338 late
In April and 14,419 a year ago.
In its monthly report, however,
the commission said 26,706 cov
ered workers had exhausted
their 1949-50 benefit rights
against 18,058 at this time last
year. The fiscal year ends Juno
30. '
Payments from the state fund
for the current benefit year
reached $25,265,748, a new rec
ord since compensation began in
January, 1938. During the same
period $1,247,496 went to un
employed veterans under the GI
bill of rights, but most of that
program ended last August.
Oregon's unemployment re
serves decreased slightly in May
to $71,228,249, lowest since early
1947 and a decline of $11,294,
060 from a year ago.
143,000 Claims on File
Nearly 143,000 claims were on
file with the commission as the
benefit year neared its end. Of
these, 124,000 were found valid
and 11.000 drew at least one
check. All of these figures, the
commission noted, are establish
ing new annual highs.
The Portland office, with May
payments reaching $472,363, ac
counted for almost 40 per cent
of the state total, contrasting
with only 24.6 per cent in Feb
ruary, when downstate seasonal
layoffs were heavy.
About 19 per cent of those re
ceiving compensation were log
ging or lumber workers and
more than 11 per cent were food
processors. In the Portland met
ropolitan area, trade employes
led with 19 per cent, construc
tion had 17V4 per cent and food
processing 15 per cent.
Cause of Washington
Earthquake Explained
Seattle, Wash.. June 9U.R
A University of Washington ge
ologist reported today he had
discovered the cause of the
mighty earthquake which rocked
the Pacific northwest on April
13. 1949.
Dr. Charles E. Weaver said the
quake could be blamed on a pre
viously unknown "fault" In the
Black hills southwest of Olym
pia, Wash.
Dr. Weaver spent three weeks
In the area ana several months
in the laboratory before an
nouncing his findings. He said
the "fault" runs along a line of
possibly 100 miles, along which
more quakes could develop.
Last year's northwest quake
caused millions of dollars dam
age and resulted in nine deaths.
Dr. Weaver said the fault runs
in a straight line from the hills
northeastward to near Olympia,
and that it may extend on
through Seattle.
All 58 California counties con
tributed to mineral production
in 1947.
