"" Tf PHEASANT FLUSHING BAR The state game commission, wor ried about the high mortality rate of nesting pheasants, recom mends the use of a "flushing bar" on tractors, as illustrated above. In a news release last week it said they have proven successful in experiments in Ohio and Iowa, and that the number of hen pheas ants which are killed by mowers can be reduced by 35 to 45 per cent by using them. The unit weighs some 85 pounds and can be constructed for $25 to $30 of new materials, and less when mate rials found around almost any farm are used. Plans for such a unit can be obtained free from the game commission office, P.O. Box 4136, Portland.

C, hopes to move into a middleweight title fight, he'll have to improve greatly on his shoddy though winning performance over Bob by Jones of Oakland, Calif., in their roundly-booed bout Friday night. Mindful that it takes) two to tango the dissatisfied crowd of several hundred expected Mims, No. 4 middleweight contender and 9-5 favorite ,to force some action even if Jones was unable or unwilling to do so. Boxers Warned The little flurry of fighting there was in the nationally tele vised and broadcast match came in the final three rounds after referee Zach Clayton had warned the boxers to "step it up" for the third time. The 25-year-old Mims was responsible practically for all of this action and it paved the way for his unanimous decis ion triumph. The bout was so lethargic by the end of seven rounds that State Athletic Commissioner Al fred Klein stepped to the ring apron and exhorted the boxers to "get in there and fight."

Gorbous Cincinnati t Reds Player A former Medford Nugget has reached the major leagues Glen Gorbous, third-sacker on the Medford entry in the profes' sional Far West Baseball league in 1949 is now on the squad of the Cincinnati Redlegs of the National league. He appeared as a pinch hitter for the Reds on opening day last week. Gorbous, since his departure from here, has been switched to the outfield and he is a spare fielder for the Reds. The Vulcan, Alta., Advocate, newspaper of Gorbous home town, has this to say about the baseballer: "A member of the Brooklyn Dodgers farm system for some years, Gorbous played for sev eral different teams before his services were acquired by Cin cinnati. Last year he was with the Dodgers' farm team at Fort Worth, Tex., where his powerful hitting from the port side and fine throwing arm impressed Cincinnati scouts and resulted in his tryout this spring with the Redlegs." : He is reportedly one of two rookies on the Red's club. , Gorbous stars on a Vulcan hockey team during the winter. So far as is known, he is the first player for a Medford club in the Far West loop to reach the majors. The league folded after the 1951 season, its fourth.
