Eighth Win in
By PETER HAYES
United Press Soorts Writer
Portland (U.P.) A scheduled
Pacific Coast league baseball
game between Portland and Hol
lywood was called off last night
because of rain.
Beaver management said a
doubleheader will be played to
night to make up the game.
Bob Garber (4-5) and Red
Munger (5-2) were named to
pitch for Hollywood in the twin
bill. Portland's hurlers will be
Red Adams (2-3) and Bill Werle
(5-2).
Portland is leading the se
ries, 2-1.
The rejuvenated Sacramento
Solons humiliated the Los An
geles Angels in their own back
yard for the fourth consecutive
time last night to leap from last
place to sixth in the Pacific
Coast league.
Nippy Jones hit a double and
a single to drive in all of the
Sacs' runs in their 4-2 victory
It was the eighth win in 10
games for the Solons who led
the league for the first 2V2
weeks of the season.
Rookie John Briggs (5-5) the
only PCL pitcher to go the route
last night, yielded eight hits,
walked four and struck out eight
in gaining the win.
Angel starter George Piktuzis
(3-6) contributed to his downfall
by issuing seven bases on balls.
All four Sac runners who scored

defeat left Los Angeles a scant
two percentage points ahead of

Stream Fishing
On June 15 in
National Park
Season for stream fishing In
Crater Lake National park will
open on June 15. It will con
clude on Sept. 10.
Daily catch limit is 10 fish
and only one day's catch may
be possessed.
Othe regulations provide that
no fish under six inches in
length may be taken, forbid pos
session or use of alive or dead
minnows, chubs or other bait
fish and prohibit "chumming."
License Not Required
A fishing license is not re
quired in the park. Complete
regulations may be seen at park
headquarters.
While there is a fishing season
for streams in the park, there
is no season for angling in the
lake itself. Park Superintendent
Thomas J. Williams reported
that the lake "manages to take
care of its own" because fisher
men cannot reach the shores un
til about July 1 when the heavy
winter snowpack has receded
enough to permit trail opening
Research will be undertaken
this year with an aim Ulti
mately to improve fishing in the
park. A part of that research
will be the recording of certain
data concerning fish caught, and
all fishermen are urged to assist
in the study by reporting their
catches to park rangers.
Moran Arrested
On Perjury Count
Philadelphia (U.R) The
Pennsvlvania Athletic Commis
sion took a breather in its in
vestigation of the Harold Johnson-Julio
Mederos bout today
after police moved in and ar
rested matchmaker Pete Moran
on a perjury charge.
The inquiry was recessed un
til next Tuesday after Moran re
turned to the witness chair after
his arrest Thursday and refused
to answer question pn Fifth
Amendment grounds.
But police planned to hold in
formal talks with several "box
ing figures' 'at City Holl today.
Police Inspector John Driscoll
emphasized the men are not in
any way under suspicion.
"I just want to talk to tnem,"
Driscoll said. ,
An authoritative source said
Johnson was given a second lie
detector test at the state police
barracks here Thursday and it
proved negative, meaning his ac
count of his sudden "blackout"
against Mederos on May 6 was
truthful.
