RACING HULLS GALORE
FOR SUNDAY REGATTA
There'll be racing hulls ga
lore roiling up the water at
Emigrant lake Sunday, June 5,
but Western Speedboat associa
tion officials were still seeking
more entries for the fishermen's
races which are slated to kick
cff the day in the annual out
board motorboat regatta at the
irrigation reservoir southeast of
Ashland.
, WSA members, who co-spon-for
the races with the Medford
Junior Chamber of Commerce,
reported today that speedboat
entries are continuing to come In
good numbers for the water
churning hassleThey said, how
ever, that fishing boat entries
were lagging. '
At least 60 speedboat drivers
from western Oregon and north
em California, including some
record-holders, are expected by
the WSA for the regatta. The
sponsors estimated that 68 to 75
racing craft will be on hand.
They anticipated that elimina
tion heats will be necessary in
several of the six racing hull
contests. American Power Boat
association rules specify a maxi
mum of 12 boats in a race.
Rocky Stone Coming
Rocky Stone, Willamina, who
holds for C service runabouts
and D utility boats, is among
the drivers entered. Among
others are Billy Larson, Delake
one-mile record holder for B
utility and Fritz. Hoffman, Tilla
mook, who has the five-mile
mark for B hydroplanes. Dick
Ferris, Albany, will come with
a fast B hydro and Ite Knox,
Coquille, will be back to defend
the D hydro perpetual trophy he
won last year.
L. D. Goff of Goff Well Dril
lers, Lee Hobbs of Lee's Texaco
station and Dick Schauble,
Shady Cove, were included in
the meager fishing boat list.
Others who have fishing boats
they "like to play with" and
wish to enter are advised to get
entry blanks at Cass Sporting
Goods or Jack's Sporting Goods
and get them to Mrs. Bill
Barnes, 604 Whitman place,
Medford, by Saturday, June 4.
Two fishing boat races, for
D2 and B2 classes, are slated to
begin at 11 a.m. Racing hulls
take to the water- at 1 p.m. for
six events, A, B and D hydro, B
and D utility and D. service
boats.
More Thrilling Race
. More thrilling races are fore
seen this year than were pre
sented last April since a dryer
'winter has resulted in the lake
being narrower than last year.
The course will be tougher and
more skillful skippering will be
needed, particularly in the faster
classes. Buoys at the ends of the
course will be closer, necessitat
ing sharper corners and increas
ing pile-up risks.
No regular racing hulls or
racing motors will be permitted
in the fishermen's races and
WSA officials stated that
"everyone will haTe a fair
chance." D2 class is for motors
25 horsepower and up and B2
for -engines under 25. Trophies
will go to first, second and third
places In each class. ' -
; All participants are required
to wear helmets (football hel
mets will do) and lifejackets.
Persons not having this equip
ment may come to the judges'
stand. An effort will be "made
to borrow these items.
Jaycees will direct boats to
their docking spots and will be
in charge of parking cars. They
will operate the food and soft
drink "concessions.

Humane Societies
Alerted Against
Bull Fighting
Denver ;U.R) The American
Humane society served notice
today it would fight any attempt
to introduce bull fighting, even
the milder "mock fights," as a
sport in the -United States.
Mel L., Morse, executive di
rector of the society, said the
organization was aware of the
"growing conspiracy" to intro
duce the sport in this country
and had alerted "hundreds of
local humane societies and thou
sands of AHA members through
out the nation to be on the look
out for attempts by promoters
to present variations of the Span
ish bull fight in this country."
He said the American Humane
Society, founded almost 80 years
ago to help support laws against
cruelty to animals and particu
larly against cock and dog fight
ing, has had to step up its fight
against those attempting to in
ject bull fighting into the nation
al sports picture.

Hubbard-Wray Co., Inc
25 South Riverside Medford
Derald Wooton, ex-Medford
high school pitcher, . who has
been playing professional ball
for four seasons, may join the
Medford Cheney Studs in time
for the Grants Pass series in the
semi-pro Southern Oregon Base
ball League, Business Manager
Bill Askwith of the Studs has
reported
Medford's aggregation goes to
Grants Pass on Saturday night.
The two clubs finish the two
game series with a scuffle at the
fairgrounds on Sunday after
noon.
Wooton has been with Cedar
Rapids, la., of the Class B Three
I circuit this season and at latest
report had a one-win no-loss rec
ord. He signed a Brooklyn
Dodger contract in 1952 and has
been with Great Falls, Mont.,
of the Pioneer League and
Shawnee, Okla., of the Sooner
State League,
Askwith indicated that it was
uncertain as to whether Played
Manager Clarence Mellbye
would call Wooton to the hill
this weekend although he might
see outfield duty. Most likely
pitching choices against the GP
Elks are Warren Noyes and
Marv Scherpf,
Usual Infield
Howard Morris tentatively is
scheduled to catch both games
for the Studs this week end.
The infield probably will be the
usual so far, , Jack Cooney at
first base, Ritchie Price at sec
ond, Mellbye at shortstop and Ed
McCullougn at third. Outfield
possibilities are among John
Niles. Harvey Tonn, Larry Big-
ham and Bill McLean.
Medford, like Grants Pass,
will aim for its first league win
this week end. The two clubs are
cellar companions as result of
their losses in loop openers last
week end.
At last report starting berths
for the Elks were considerably
unsettled. Manager Mel Ingram
has been in Aberdeen, Wash.,
where he was called Tuesday by
the death of his father. Ingram
is expected back for the week
end. Meanwhile, the club has
been practicing under the wing
of Ralph Hartman, ex-California
League player for Stockton.
The situation vas looking up
in at least one department with
the return of Bob (Tiger) Smith,
Southern Oregon collegian, to
handle catching duties. Three
other catchers on the squad are
Glenn Reese, Ron Owings from
Klamath Falls and Mel Friend,
a semi-pro vet. Reese and
Owings each caught a game last
week while Friend held down
first base. Owings as at shortstop
in one fray..
Hartman May Throw
Hartman possibly will be on
the pitching mound for one of
the Medford encounters. Others

Set at 1,000 Pounds

Anderson, who at 22 is one of
America's leading weight lift
ers, said today that he has his
sights set on a 1000 pound lift
which is roughly akin to a
three-minute mile.
Anderson, a 315-pound resi
dent of Toccoa, Ga., already
holds the record for the particu
lar lift, the knee-bend lift, but
he's not satisfied with his 900
pound mark, even though it's
300 pounds more than any other
strong man ever managed.
"I hope to be able to go 1000
pounds on the knee-bend within
a year. I've been working hard
on that lift and I really think I
can make it," Anderson said.
