MDFORI)TRIBUNS ID ITS Trucks Fires First No-Hit Victory of 1952 in Majors Bv UNITED PRESS Due to a strike at the bat fac tory, major league hitters are complaining they don't have enough bats but the way the pitchers are going they don't need 'em anyway. Virgil Trucks of the Tigers fired the first no-hitter of the campaign but don't bet that there won't bo some more any day. His sizzling double-blanking of the Senators, 1 to 0, Thursday was spectacular enough to over- ihadow some terrific perform ances in the other four games of the day, but the jobs turned in by both winning and losing hurl ers made it look like the hitter had taken the day off to go -fishing. ,f Trucks had to be good almost perfect in fact to top loser Bob ; Porterfield, who gave up only lour hits and was battling the Tiger fireball artist 0-0 until Vic Fishing Said Improved In Rogue Tributaries Portland U.R) The Oregon State Game Commission, In its weekly fishing bulletin, said Fri day that angling on the Upper peschutes river was excellent.

New Deer Ranges Creation of vast new deer ranges in Coos, Douglas, Lane, and Linn counties through ex tensive logging Is reflected in a growing deer kill for these areas. In Lane county, for ex ample, the tally has climbed from 1423 deer bagged in 1948 to 2589 bagged in 1951. Last year's elk season saw 28,745 hunters afield and a take of 4483 wapiti compared to 5391 bagged in 1950. Eastern Oregon tally was 3863 elk downed by hunters as compared with 3444 taken in the 1950 season. In Western Oregon 620 elk were taken in 1951 as compared with 1947 for the 1950 hunt when an extended either sex season in Clatsop county accounted for 1624 of the elk. Hunters Increase The decline in elk hunter suc cess, 16 per cent last year, is at tributed to a rapid increase in hunter numbers, 4000 more than in 1950 and triple the 1942 fig ure. Though poor weather ham pered the 1951 elk season the kill actually increased in the four main elk hunting counties, Grant, Umatilla, Union, and Wal lowa. Antelope hunting, restricted to state residents only, was par ticipated -in last year by 1133 Oregon nimrods who drew tags and bagged 600 pronghorn bucks. Centered in Deschutes, Lake, Harney, and Malheur counties, the 1951 antelope sea son was staggered to preevnt concentrations of hunters in more favored locations, but the 53 per cent success ratio was higher than the 1950 ratio of 47 per cent.

James F. Byrnes' latest' speech as the most significant campaign development since President Truman said he would not run. Byrnes is governor of South Carolina, a former congressman, senator, Supreme Court justice and secretary of state. He was Mr. Truman's secretary of state. In Cleveland, Miss., Thursday, Byrnes told his audience that the South must bolt the Democratic party this year If the national convention fails to give sympa thetic consideration to the South ern point of view. He was talk ing about civil rights. The South defies the compul sory features of the civil rights program endorsed by Mr. Tru man written into the 1948 Dem ocratic presidential platform. Byrnes said Southern Democrats should vote for a Republican president this year or for a third party man of their own if this civil rights position is not am ended. Not since 1860-61 has a South ern statesman of Byrnes' stand ing made so bold as that. There were able men in the 1948 State's Rights rebellion against the Democratic party. But the top men of the party did not join in that bolt. Handicapped as they were, the State's Righters won four Southern states in the 1948 pres idential election and a single el ectoral vote in Tennessee; total, 39. It will be sometime in Aug. ust, probably, before Southern leadership decides upon final 1952 strategy. Both national con ventions take place In July. Southern hopes of sympathet ic consideration at the Democra tic National Convention are dim The party's alliance in the North, with left-wing elements is a terrific barrier to amend ment of the civil rights plank. Byrnes' speech was a pressure maneuver designed to persuade Northern and Western Demo crats to compromise on the em bittered racial issue. The sug gestion that unhappy Southern ers might vote for a Republican was a reminder that Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower has great strength in the South, WEATHER , By United Press North California Fair Fri day and Saturday. 1 RFlint, Mich.
