Portland (U.R) The State Game commission Friday issued the following report on fishing conditions in Oregon for the weekend. Southwest: Spring Chinook salmon fishing poor in the lower Umpqua; coastal lakes yielding a few limit catches; recent raises have caused most streams to be roily so it is believed that water conditions will not be good for the coming week-end.

Good Hurling Stops Tribe Again; Solons Victors 2-1 By UNITED PRESS Good pitching will beat the Indians. Red Rolfe said it before he knew that Sid Hudson of the Senators had topped Cleveland, 2 to 1, in 13 innings, while his Tigers were scoring a thrilling, 5 to 4 victory over the Yankees. But he couldn't have been more prophetic. Because the In dians, who have terrific pitch ing themselves, just can't get any runs when a top-flight hurl er is facing them. "They can be pitched to," Rolfe said. "We have two or three on our staff who can han dle them, and I think you'll find they'll be in trouble with other clubs, too, even though they have great pitching on their own. Spectacular Duel That was the case Thursday night when Cleveland ace Bob Frldsy. Mey 1- MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE He joined Bobby Shantz of the A's, Art Houtteman and Ted Gray of the Tigers, and Bob Cain and Tommy Byrne of the Browns as the "good pitchers" able to throttle the Indians. Cain, Houtteman, and Gray shut them out. Hudson and Shantz gtive up only one run each and Byrne yielded three. Two-Run Homer Houtteman, with great relief help from Dizzy Trout in the ninth, topped the Yankees as Vic Wertz supplied a pair of tremen dous two run homers. With one run in and none out as the Yan kees batted in the ninth and with runners on first and third, Trout came in and retired the side. In other American League games, Joe Dobson of the White Sox topped the A's 3 to 0. on two hits, and the atomic Browns defeated the Red Sox, 6 to 1.
