Ashland and Grants Pass chap
ters of the Walton league will

Congressman Harris Ellsworth
has informed members of the
Jackson County Walton chapter
on the Savage Rapids dam
screening matter that a Depart
ment of Interior construction
and rehabilitation appropria
tions bill will not come from
the appropriations committee
nor be ready for House of Rep
resentatives action for about
three weeks.
Ellsworth has asked the com
mittee to include in the bill a
sum not to exceed $208,000 for
screening the irrigation district
intake turbines at Savage Rap
ids dam on Rogue river. Screen
ing is sought to prevent destruc
tion of downstream migrating
fish. Unscreened turbines have
been listed as probably the lead
ing factor in decline of salmon
and steelhead runs on the Rogue.
Waltonians hera have made the
screening matter one of their
main projects this year.
No Indication
The Ellsworth proposal was
made March 28 to the appro
priations subcommittee on pub
lic works. He told Waltonians
that he has been unable to gath
er at this point any indication of
what the thinking of the com
mittee is generally- on the
matter.
The congressman has sent to
Col. Paul Weiland, Medford, a
state Waltonian director, a copy
of his request to the subcom
mittee. He pointed out, in the
statement, the national import
ance of the screening ana
asked that the funds be appro
priated on a non-reimbursable
basis. The continuing loss of fish
on Rogue river, Ellsworth said,
adversely effects not only the
river, itself, but reduces the fish
ery resources along the Pacific
coast as far north as Alaska.
He reported to the subcommit
tee that the economic values to
be gained by providing the
screen protection are many
times the cost involved.

Leon Hart
To Get
Duty
At Fullback
By LLOYD NORTHARD
Detroit U.R) The start of
the 1956 National Football
League season is almost half a
year away but Leon Hart, the
former All-America end from
Notre Dame, wishes it would get
underway tomorrow.
Hart, the 250-pound veteran
of six seasons with the Detroit
Lions, is slated for full-time
study at fullback and he likes
the idea.
"I played fullback for the
final three games last season and
really enjoyed myself," Hart
said. "It's rough. The ball at
tracts a lot of attention. But I
liked it and I'm looking forward
to the 1956 season.
The six-foot, five-inch Hart,
who had dished out plenty of
punishment during his football
career, figures it's worth taking
some punishment to realize the
dream of all linemen.
Secret Yearning
"There isn't a lineman around
who doesn't secretly yearn to be
a back," Hart said. "I'm getting
my chance and I intend to make
the most of it."
When Hart broke in with the
Lions in 1950 after an illustri
ous career at Notre Dame, he
was regarded as one of the top
pass catchers in the game.
He lived up to the reputation
until fleet defensive backs found
they could out-maneuver him.
When that happened, big Leon
was shifted to defensive end and
used primarily to menace rival
passers.
Hurlers Ease
Worries of
Tribe Pilot
By FRED DOWN
United Press Sports Writer
Bob Lemon and Bob Feller
had Manager Al Lopez con
vinced at long last today that
they'll be major factors in help
ing the Cleveland Indians try
to recapture the American
League pennant.
The 35-year-old Lemon and
the 37-year-old Feller eased
Lopez worries Wednesday when
they teamed for a 5-hit per
formance that gave the Indians
a 2-0 triumph over the New
York Giants at Austin, Tex.
Lemon yielded four hits for six
innings and then Feller com
pleted the shutout when he -allowed
only one blow the re
mainder of the way.
With opening day less than
two weeks distant, the pitching
seemed to be improving all
around the Grapefruit Circuit.
Reds Beat Nats
The Cincinnati Redlegs got
5-hit pitching from Bill Kennedy,
Brooks Lawrence and Hershel
Freeman to beat the Washing
ton Senators, 5-0.
Dick Marlowe and Bob Miller,
meanwhile, teamed up in a 7-hit
job to pitch the Detroit Tigers
to a 2-1 win over the Boston Red
Sox.
The Pirates snapped Art
Cecc.-relli's string of 20 score
less innings by scoring three
times in the second inning and
went on to beat the Kansas City
Athletics, 4-2.
The Philadelphia Phillies, also
getting capable pitching, scored
three runs off Bob Grim in the
eighth inning to down the New
York Yankees, 4-3.
Vince Martinez
Pummels Diaz
Miami Beach, Fla. fu.R)
Vince Martinez' lopsided televi
sion victory over Miguel Diaz
will be followed "within a
week" by the offer of a $100,000
guarantee for a bout with welter
weight champion Johnny Sax
ton, Martinez' manager said to
day. Manager Bill Daly said the
offer would be made in New
York City and that he hoped
a Saxton-Martinez bout could
be held there "but anywhere
will suit us."
" Martinez, fourth-ranked wel
ter walloper, outclassed Cuban
champion Diaz throughout their
10-rounder at Miami Beach Au
ditorium and earned the unani
mous decision of all three ring
officials. He floored the Cuban
twice and only the final bell
prevented him from scoring a
clean knockout.

Don Bowden Could Be First Yank
To Crack 4-Minute Mile Barrier
B7 HAL WOOD
San Francisco (U.R) The
first American to crack the four
minute barrier in running the
mile may 1 be 19-year-old Don
Bowden, a skinny University of
California sophomore.
Bowden is so good that, after
only three runs at that distance,
he already has a 4:08.2 record.
"Don right now can be tabbed
a good Olympic prospect," says
his coach, Brutus Hamilton.
"Hp is a great competitor
the kind who runs only fast
enough to win. If he is pushed
hard enough after he gets in tip
top condition and used to the
distance, it is hard to tell how

In his three tries at the dis
tance, he has marks of 4:11.8;
4:08.2 and 4:14. In the middle
one, he was pushed to some
extent. In the 4:14 event, he
won by 70 yards.
Bowden stands six feet, three
inches tall and weighs only 155
pounds. But he has a beautiful
stride not at all ' choppy for
one who has such a small amount
of experience.

in Sid Wing and Max Truex.
"If Bowden is to beat my
men," says Coach Jess Morten
sen of USC, "he'll have to do
better than 4:08."
Actually, Bowden came to
the Golden Bear campus as a
half-miler, and he is an excep
tional runner at that distance,
too. But Hamilton is firm in his
belief that Bowden has 'great
ness stamped on him as a mller
prospect.
"He'll try to make the Olym
pic team as a miler," says Ham
ilton, "not as a . half-miler. At
least we'll train with that in
mind. If he should fail in the
longer distance, however, he
might try the shorter one later."
