Cascade Lakes Getting Fish by Aerial Planting Portland Approxamately 350 high lakes of the Cascade moun tains will be planted by aerial lift this year in game commission operations, according to Bob Bor- ovicka, fishery biologist, Oregon QGame Commission. Aerial lift were under way from the Fall River hatchery where approximately 500,000 eastern brook and rainbow trout were scheduled for planting in the lake basin groups of the cen tral Cascade area. Last week fish were planted in the south Cascade lakes from the Klamath hatchery. Flying oper ations were based at the airfield near Klamath agency. Mount Hood forest lakes will receive their allocations later in the month from the Hood River hatchery near Dee. Operations will stem from the Hood River Qiir strip. A piper super cub will be used for all flying operations. The cub is fitted with three 15-gallon bel ly compartments which hold the fish and water. Flying over a lake at 200 to 250 feet, the com partments are opened allowing the fish and water to float down like "rain drops." The 200 to 250-foot drop has no detrimental effect upon the small fingerling trout. . One-fourth to one-half pound of fish are carried per gallon of water, depending on the size of the fish. If fry are being planted, one pound of fish per gallon of water is usually carried. Eugene Only Unbeaten Team In State Meet Eugene, Ore. (U.R) Eugene was alone in the unbeaten ranks today on the strength of its 3-0 win over Oregon City in a win ners' bracket contest in the state softball playoffs here last night. Corvallis defeated Bend, 7-1, and Mill City nudged Sheridan, 3-2 in losers' bracket games. The 'losses dropped Bend and Sheri dan from the double elimination playoffs. The Eugene win was paced by pitcher Ron Willoughby, who struck out nine while allowing only two hits. Corvallis and Mill City meet tonight, and the game's winner will meet Oregon City in a sec ond game tonight for a berth in he finals opposite-Eugene. JOCKEY SUSPENDED Del Mar. Calif. (U.R) Jockey Ismael Valenzuela,' who told Del Mark track stewards he missed Saturday's races because he was in jail, ws suspended for the final three weeks of the Del Mar race meeting.

S. will compete over this Devil's Lake course on Oregon coast during 1955 National Championship races August 27, 28 and 29. Lake has wide reputation for speed, with over half of current marks hav MEDFORDtlTRIBUNl QT Soffballers Face Strong Opposition at Fairgrounds Sunday The Roeue Valley QTs girls softball team will try the Hercu lean task of beating two oppon ents in one afternoon at fair grounds baseball park here next Sunday. The OTs will play Durham, Halif.. in the first game at 3 p.m. and then will tackle the Orland Eagletts in the second game. The only between-game rest for the QTs will come when the field is being relined for the second game. It was at first planned to have a fourth team to play Durham but when an opponent could not be found the QTs asked to take on both teams. Durham and the Eagletts are members of the Sacramento Val ley girls softball league. Durham finished second and Orland was third in regular season play. Oth er teams in the league are Max well, which won first place, Chi co, Paradise, Princeton and Wil lows. Durham and Orland each placed four girls on the league all-star team and Orland gave some indication of its possible strength last week when the girls defeated San Leandro, champions of the Oakland recre ation department league by a 26 to 5 score. Meanwhile, Jerry Mosby, who now resides at Lakeview who has Sports Officials Meet Wednesday Football and basketball game officials will convene at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at Cen tral Point junior high school. Rule changes and officiating proceedures for football will be discussed. A commissioner for assigning basketball ref erees' may be elected.

Washington State Loaded; Looks For Fine Grid Year (This is another in a series on the prospects of Pacific Coast Conference teams for the 1955 football season.) Pullman, Wash. (U.R) A Washington State eleven, loaded with veteran lettermen, looks for one of its best seasons in years and Coach Al Kircher thinks his Cougars may finish among the top three in the PCC standings. If they don't, another long victory drought is in sight beside the banks of the Palouse. The Cougars, as usual, have to risk burying their season right off the bat by 6pening against Southern California in Los An geles, and play UCLA in the third game of their schedule. Yet Kircher rates the 1955 slate as much easier than last year's which saw the Cougars finish up with a 4-6 record and in a two-way tie for fifth in the conference. Such brutal inter sectional foes as Texas and Mich igan State have been replaced by Kansas and San Jose state. 21 Lettermen This "softer setup" will be handled by 21 returning letter men, 15 with two years of var sity experience. Quarterback Bob Iverson, and Peta Toomey and tackle Tom Tuesday, August 23. 195S coached the QTs during the past three seasons, telephoned from his home to say that he would make the trip to Medford to handle the managerial reins for the valley girls. Lewiston Wins NWL Twin Bill By UNITED PRESS The Lewiston Broncs, with Gabby Williams leading the way, sDoiled Wenatchee's chances of joining idle Eugene at the top of the Northwest league stand ings last night. The Idaho club bumped the Chiefs, 14-4 and 6-5, in one set of a round of doubleheaders in the class B circuit. In the other twin bills, Salem and Tri-City split, with Salem winning the opener 5-1, and Tri-City taking the second game, 4-2; and Yaki ma' beat Spokane 7-5 in 10 in nings. In an exhibition nightcap, Spokane was beaten, 2-1, by Fairchild Air Force base. Williams was the particular pain to the Chiefs. He drove in four runs with his two hits in the seven-inning opener. Pitch er Dick Dodel got credit for the victory. In the second game, Williams rapped a key double in the Broncs' big eighth inning when five runs crossed the plate. Clint Lee was the winner in that one. Four unearned runs spelled the difference in the short game at Kennewick. Ron King got credit for his sixth win for Sa lem, against one loss. Duane Hel big and Eddie Holden blasted home runs to account for the Tri-City victory margin in the nightcap. Lee Maye tripled home the winning run and scored a clin cher himself in the 10th inning to give Yakima its win at Spo kane. Gunnari have been through the mill against the likes of Texas, Michigan State, Ohio State, and Baylor. The line is deep in ex perience if not manpower and Bob Miller, who will battle Den nis Rath for the fullback - slot is a good triple threat man. Only six lettermen are gone and the biggest gap was left by Duke Washington, the swift full back. Kircher rates his current backs, with the exception of left half Jim Hagerty, as '-'quick" but not fast. Arnold Palmer In Labatt Golf Tourney Montreal (U.R) Arnold Palmer of Latrobe, Pa., winner of Canadian Open Golf champ ionship on Sunday, heads a field of 136 players entered in the. $26,800 Labatt golf tpurnamet opening tomorrow at the Sum merlea Country club.

U.R) Two 17-year-olds from the - North woods turned the National Wom en's Amateur Golf tournament today into a teen-age neighbor hood tangle for the second round. Anne Quast of Marysville, Wash., and Carole Jo Kabler of Sutherlin, Ore., drew the at tention from the older heads ex pected to finally fight it out to ward the title round four days hence. Miss Quast pulled the biggest of several upsets on the first day of the tournament, trouncing Mrs. Grace Demoss Smith, a Cur tiss Cupper from Coral Gables, Fla., 3 and 1. Not even the luck of the blind draw figured that one, which put the apple-cheeked Washing ton miss up against Miss Kabler, the blonde who won the National Junior Miss golf title only last week. Carole Jo defeated Naomi Venable of Poughkeepsie, N.Y., 6 and 5. There was asehtimental side light, 'not to mention a consider able upset, in the open round when Mrs. Harrison Klippin of Ardmore, Pa., bounded former British champion Marlene Stew art of Fonthill, Canada, one up. The Dalles Wins In Legion Meet Hastings, Neb. U.R) The Dalles, Ore., exploded for seven runs in the seventh inning last night to defeat Lincoln, Neb., 9-6, in the opening game of the American Legion Sectional base ball tourney here.

It was only the second loss in 34 games for tne Lincoln club, which was off its usual form de fensively with nine errors. GUMS . 10 Down Payment Low Monthly Payments SAM'S SPORTING GOODS 32 So. Central Ave., Medford Major Leagues Resume Action Today; Twin-Bill Rained Out By MILTON RICHMAN United Press Sports Writer The key to first place will be in the cellar tonight in the keeping of the last-place Balti more Orioles. "Frankly, I don't give a hang whether Cleveland, Chicago or New York wins the pennant if we can't win it ourselves," says Baltimore Manager Paul Rich ards. But tonight, anyway, Richards' Orioles - will determine which club shall lead the American League. Here's why: The White Sox are a half-game out of first place but they can take over the top rung by two percentage points if they sweep a twi-night doubleheader with the lowly Orioles tonight. The pacesetting Yankees, who meet the Tigers in a night game, can't do a thing about stopping Chi cago even if they beat Detroit. Richards, who left the White Sox at the end of last year to come to Baltimore, thinks Chi cago "has the necessary pitch ing to win the pennant," but he doesn't intend to make it easy for his old ball club. Orioles Troublesome The Orioles have given the White Sox as much, if not more, trouble than any other club in the league this season and Rich ards says there's liable to be a lot more in store for them. Marty Marion, who succeeded Richards as White Sox manager, has nominated Virgil Trucks and Sandy Consuegra for to night's tell-tale twin-bill while Erv Palica and George Zuverink will pitch for Baltimore. The Yankees, who just swept three games in a row from the Orioles, will rest their hopes on fastballer Bob Turley against Tiger rookie Frank Lary.

Clubs Enjoy Off-Day .AH big league clubs enjoyed an off-day Monday but Dodger Manager Walter Alston, con cerned by 9 losses in the last 13 games, put his charges through Winter Sports Areas Attract 658,650 Fans Portland A total of 658,650 winter sports visitors were at tracted to the winter sports areas on the 18 national forests of Ore gon and Washington during the past season accordingn to fig ures just compiled by the U. S. forest service. This represents a gain of about 57,000 more vis itors than the previous season and is approximately a 10 per cent increase. . Winter sports use has been coming to the front rapidly in the last few years. It is now the third largest recreational use of the national forest recreation areas, surpassed only by camp ing and picnicking use. Most all of the major winter sports areas saw increased use with the exception of Timber line lodge area on Mt. Hood Na tional forest. The decrease in use at Timberline was caused by its closing for a portion of the winter sports season because of a change of operators. Its re opening in July, 1955, with plans for additional uphill ski lift fa cilities should result in even greater use for that area during the coming season.. New developments and im Casey Stengel To Tour Japan this Fall New York (U.R) Manager Casey Stengel and the New York Yankees formally agreed today to tour Japan and the Orient this fall for a series of exhibition games against native profes sional teams and U. S. service men. The trip will originate from New York, Oct. 8, regardless of whether or not the Yankees par ticipate in the World Series. gl I j I Straight Kentucky $35 fH qt.

Don Newcombe will go after his 19th victory for the fifth time tonight against Bob Rush, who will be shooting for his 11th triumph. The Milwaukee Braves, who still entertain faint pennant hopes themselves, oppose Robin Roberts, the majors' only 20 game winner, at Philadelphia, with Lew Burdette going for Charlie Grimm's second-place crew. In the other two National League night games, Willard Schmidt of the Cardinals was nominated to go against south paw Johnny Antonelli of the Giants, while Vern Law was the choice of the Pirates to face Art Fowler of the Redlegs. provements are taking place at several of the national forest winter sports areas again this summer. These additional facil ities and area improvements, which are being made by the operators, will add to the com fort and enjoyment of the skiiers. The result is likely to be a con tinued increase in the number of participants in winter sports Dodgers List 3 Areas For Move Brooklyn - (U.R) The Brooklyn Dodgers listed three areas near Brooklyn today as possible future sites for their team, but the Los Angeles City Council made a pitch to have the Dodgers transferred across the country. "We want to stay in Brook lyn," insisted Dodger President Walter O'Malley. "We will go nowhere else if there is a chance to stay there." ' But, with efforts to line up city help in obtaining a suitable stadium site in Brooklyn appar- fently slowed down, O'Malley said that the team would' consider as possible sites if Brooklyn is out neighboring Queens and Nassau counties on Long Island, and Jersey City next sea son was discussed by O'Malley, Jersey City Mayor Bernard J. Berry, and other officials Mon day. It is hanging fire while engineers study the cost of ren ovating Jersey City's Roosevelt stadium for the game. In Los Angeles, however, the City Council invited both' the Dodgers and the New York Giants to look toward Los An geles if they want a new home. Migratory Bird Flights Lengthy Portland Migratory birdi) make some long and strangi flights between their summer and winter homes, according to Chet Kebbe, chief of furbearer and waterfowl, Oregon Gam Commission. Band returns have shown that in some instanced these flights have entailed dis tances of 5,000 miles or more. Of special interest to Oregon hunters are the several thousand waterfowl banded each year at the management areas of the Or egon Game Commission. Of the many returns by hunt ers, several of these birds were long range travelers who pre ferred the Mexican climate in which to spend the winters. A male pintail banded at Sum mer lake in August of 1953 was taken by a hunter in February, 1955 at Matamoros, Mexico, lo cated on the Gulf of Mexico, a distance of some 2,000 mjjcs from the point of banding. Another long range tourist ' was a cinnamon teal also banded at Summer lake in August of 1953 who preferred lower Cali fornia for its wintering home. The birds was shot in February of 1955 at Hardy river, Mexi- cali, Baja California, about 1,200 miles from Summer lake. The long range flyer, however, was a coot. Banded at Summer lake in August of 1954, the bird was shot near Ameca, Jalisco, Mexico, which is south of Mexico City, a flight of close to 2,500 miles.
