Newspaper Page TextTWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Fanfare What's the sentiment toward . holding an umpires' school in this area? Such a school has been suggested by Donald E Faber, president of the Southern Oregon Baseball League. Accord ing to the plan, classes would be held possibly a couple of pights a week for several weeks. All men interested in officiating jobs would be invited to the classes. Faber reports that a re tired doctor of Ashland attended Pacific Coast League umpires school this year and would be available as an instructor. Per sons interested in an umpires' school should inform this depart ment. That way it can be de termined" whether attendance would be sufficient to make the program worthwhile. TOURNEY SUGGESTED Still appears that the Med ford Softball association will not be organized for regular league play this summer. Sev eral groups, from what ws'ti heard, would like to field learns and even plan to. But, no person or persons have ap peared who are both available and willing to handle the de tails of operating the circuit. That's the main reason for failure to organize. However, the matter of league financing figures also as a deterrent. Ve suggest that, if no league play develops, a tour nament should be held in the late summer. It could be an invitational affair and some, service club or civic or fra ternal group looking for a Rogue River Invitational On Saturday Rogue River The annual Rogue River Invitational Track meet is slated Saturday evening at the local school.

GAME MEN ADVISE Oregon's general trout angling season begins on Saturday and the State Game Commission has some words of advice. A release this week states: "When you're out fishing take time to meditate and remember future fishing depends ocl your conduct. True there are 300, 000 other anglers, but in the eyes of the landowner you are all of them rolled into one ... You hold the key to future fishing. Respect for regulations and the rights of others will unlock the door for years to come." The Commission points out that Oregon fishermen are for tunate, for the state, unlike many others, still has miles of unpolluted streams and clear mountain lakes. Also, the varie ty of fish offered the angler here is as wide as in any state of the Union, the commission men tions. "Whether this fishing contin ues, depends largely upon the anglers themselves," the release states. "Past acts of vandalism and disrespect for the rights of others have closed segments of Oregon's fishing waters to the general public. Disregard for the regulations set up by the Oregon State Game Commission also jeopardizes future fish crops and consequently future fishing." REGATTA JUNE 5 Western Speedboat associa tion now has set Sunday, June 5, as date for their regatta at Emigrant lake. Usually held in April, the event has been de layed this year by low level of water in the reservoir. The WSA once had set an early May date but the reservoir now is holding just a bit more .than half its capacity.

LUNPQUIST United Press Sports Writer The softest job in the major leagues these days is being a re lief pitcher for the Detroit Ti gers. In fact, the whole bullpen crew may have to apply for un employment compensation if the Tiger starters keep up their pres ent pace. The Detroit pitching staff, has turned in eight com plete games, every one a win ning effort, or more than any other team in the majors. Thursday night, lefty Billy. Hoeft pitched the Tigers to their fifth straight victory, .4-1, with a nifty six-hit effort ' over the Washington Senators. Detroit, pushing into . a sec ond place tie with idle f Cleve land, has won eight games and lost five. The only defeats were when the starter failed to go the distance.

Yanks Trim A's- In ' other American League games, Ike Delock pitched the Red Sox to a three-hit, 3-1 tri umph over Chicago and : the Yankees trimmed the Athletics 11-4.

The Giants topped the Cardinals, 6-4, as reliever Marv Grissom pitched his way out of two bases loaded jams. Furillo's homer,, which put him nine games ahead of Babe Ruth's record pace of 1927, came after Bob Rush had pitched one hit ball for six innings and had provided both Chicago runs with a homer of his own. Jablonski lived up to his repu tation of "good-hit,- no-field." Af ter his homer put Cincy ahead 1-0, he let in a run on a wild throw, but took himself off the book with a two-run double that gave Gerry Staley his second victory. Roberts Beat Burdetta Jones' homer, - his fourth, broke up a duel between Rob erts and loser Lew Burdette, who yielded only four hits. The Milwaukee hurler beat the Phils five times without a defeat last season.' " , Grissom held St. Louis to three hits in 2 2-3 innings to save Jim Hearn's third victory.

LA Angels Use Home Runs To Defeat Hollywood 4-1 By PETER HAYES United Press Sports Writer The home run-hitting Los An geles Angels made devastating use of their favorite play last night to down Hollywood, 4-1, and climb to within half a game of the league-leading Seattle Rainiers.
