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

Fishing in other areas was
from good to fair.

lakes: trout fishing is imorovinB
in tributaries of Rogue river but
Is still poor in mam river; salmon

Wertz uncorked that dramatic
homer with two out in the last
of the ninth.
And so it was elsewhere. In

for the Red Sox over the White
Sox in which loser Ken Hoi

blows. At St. Louis Alex Kellner
pitched his second straight shut'
out for the Athletics over the
Browns, 6 to 0, a fine four-hitter,
In the National league, Billy
Loes, making his first major
league start after three winning
relief appearances, blanked the
Pirates, 2 to 0, in Brooklyn. Both
he and loser Murry Dickson
pitched six-hit ball.
In Philadelphia, the brilliant
Robin Roberts won his sixth
straight game, 5 to 1, doling out
just five hits to the losing Reds.
The other major league games,

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.
Breakdown of the general deer
season kill in Jackson county for
1951 showed 6,654 huntres and
2,010 animals slain for a 30.2
percentage. .

South Consideration
Necessary at Demo
Session, Byrnes Says
By LYLE C. WILSON
Washington (U.R) Politic
ians regard Gov. 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,
