Streams Stocked in Preparation For Start of Rogue Trout Season Boxers Selected For Fame Hall Los Angeles (U.R) Four famous fighters, three of them now living in this area, have been seleced for the Helms box ing hall of fame. Named yesterday were Tom Sharkey, Irish-born heavy weight; Jack Root, Australian born light-heavyweight; bantam weight Bud Taylor and flyweight Fidel La Barba. All are living except Sharkey. A "reminder" that all streams in the Rogue river watershed will be open to trout angling next Saturday, April 28, has been issued by Cole Rivers, Grants Pass, Game Commission area fish biologist. Fish lake, Willow Creek res ervoir and Squaw lake will op en with the regular season, but all other lakes and reservoirs in the Cascade mountains will not open until May 26. In preparation for the open ing date, the Oregon Game com mission has planted 50,000 legal sized rainbow in all favorite wa ters throughout the watershed, Rivers reported. The fish were raised at the Butte Falls Hatch ery and they averaged seven inches in length at the time of release. The stocking operations were completed oi April 17 so most of the planted fish can be expected to be well scattered by the opening date. Water. Tempting The streams receiving fish were the Applegate river from Star Ranger station to the Cali fornia line, Carberry creek and its forks, Big Butte creek, North Fork of Little Butte and the main channel of Little Butte be tween Brownsboro and Lake Creek, west and east forks of Ev ans creek and the main creek below the forks. Sucker creek and the main Rogue river from Laurelhurst (Peyton) bridge near Prospect to Robertson bridge below Grants Pass. Squaw lake was also given its annual stocking of these rainbow. Waters of the Rogue system look as tempting to an angler as they have for many years, cording to Rivers. He said streams are higher than usual, but they are in good color in spite of snow run-off. A few streams are being muddied up from time to time by mining and unorderly logging, he stated. A news release will be issued later this week by the game commission giving a detailed listing of stream, lake and road conditions.

Stars Purchase Hogue From New Orleans Club Hollywood-OJ.R) Pitcher Cal Hogue has been conditionally purchased from New Orleans by the Pacific Coast league's Holly wood Stars.

Pitchers Bill Bell went to Kingston, Bob Lee to Billings and Tom Mulcahy to Lincoln. Infielder Johnny Stevens was also optioned to Billings. Out fielder Dick Stuart was assigned to Lincoln, infielder Buzz Her nandez to Douglas and outfield ers Art de Vaney to Brunswick. Sold outright were infielder Corky Glamp to Waco and pitch er Jim Mehan to Mexico City Tigers. BEARCATS WIN Salem (U.R) Willamette downed Oreson. 5-2. in a tennis Hollywood Homeruns Beat Bevos Hollywood 4U.PJ R. C. Ste vens slammed two homers and drove in four runs today to lead the Hollywood Stars to an 8-6 Pacific Coast league win over Portland before 2,636 fans at Gilmore field. Stevens' teammate, Bill Maze roski also homered and drove in three runs as the Stars took a 2-0 lead in their series with the Beavers. Hollywood pitcher Roger Sawyer (1-0) emerged the winner, while Portland's Bill Werle (1-2) suffered the loss. Tom Saffell was forced in with the bases loaded in the seventh to give the Beavers one run and then Portland tallied four more scores in the eighth on a two-run homer by Ron Bot tler and a single by Bob Bor kowski that drove in two more tallies. But, that ended scoring in the game and left the Beavers on the short end of the 8-6 csore. Verdict Won By Fullmer Cleveland, Ohio (U.R) Seventh-ranked middleweight con tender Gene Fullmer of West Jordan, Utah, earned a crack at European champion Charles Hu mez of France Friday night by punching his way to a unani mous 10-round decision over Ralph Jones of Yonkers, N.Y. Matchmaker Billy Brown of Madison Square Garden watch ed the TV fight along with 2,500 enthralled fans in Public Audi torium, a contract for a Humez fight in his pocket. Jones pushed the fight to Full mer continually and punished the winning copper miner with cutting jabs to the head. But Jones took at least two solid ones for every punch he threw. That Fullmer's attack didn't faze the fifth-ranked New Yorker puzzled a thrilled house, which began enthusiastic applause halfway through the final round. Fullmer, 160 pounds, tired steadily in the ninth and 10th rounds, and was hanging on with both arms when the final gong sounded. The winner of the May 25 Hu-mez-Fullmer fight in the Garden is expected to have first crack at the winner of the Ray Robin-son-Bobo Olson bout next month. Sunday, April 22, 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE ELEVEN Kaline, Kuenn Starting Slowly Detroit '(U.R) The Detroit Tigers' three straight losses to open their American league campaign trace directly to the inability of Al Kaline and Har vey Kuenn to get started at the plate. Kaline, A.L. batting cham pion with a .340 mark last sea son, had collected just one hit in 10 trips to the plate through while Kuenn, a .300 hitter in each of his first three big league seasons, had made only one hit in 11 tries. Detroit pitching has been air tight, but with the two key men not hitting, the Tigers have dropped successive 2-1, 4-1 and 3-1 decisions. PILOTS TAKE GOLF TIFF Vancouver, Wash.

WE HAVE IT . . . tow 7ir$fon Rl VETLESS BRAKE LINING; One of Most Interesting Things About Baseball Is The Ball Itself New York With another ma jor league season on hand, one of the most exciting things about the great game of baseball, re mains the baseball itself. A championship team like the Brooklyn Dodgers used more baseballs last season than the entire National League did in its first year in 1876 well over a thousand dozen. The yarn from one year's pro duction of Spalding baseballs the only ones ever used in both major leagues would, if wound around the four bases without overlapping, create a fence three miles high. The original 1876 baseball was the same size as its de scendant of 80 years later, with a circumference of 9 to 914 inches. Stitching on the ball of that period, however, was flatter and went around the ball only about 75 per cent of the way, not all the way as now. Weight of the Spalding and Reach major league balls, both produced by Spalding, is 5 to 5 V4 ounces Replicas of the first baseballs made in 1876 were scheduled to be thrown out by dignitaries at the 1956 major league open ing games. When Albert Goodwill Spald ing manufactured the first Na tional League ball eighty years ago, he was manager, captain and pitcher of the Chicago team which took the league champion ship. He also won 47 games. Content About Same Pitchers threw underhanded in those days and the ball did not differ much in basic ele ment content from the ball of today. It then had a solid rub ber center, wool cord wind, cot ton cord finish and leather cover. The cover, however, had 360 single stitches, instead of to day's 108 double stitches. It takes the hide of more than 11,000 horses each year to sup ply the covers for the more than million baseballs made annually by Spalding. Before each game of the early World Series in baseball, an um pire was handed two baseballs. Now it's up to 60. Before Spalding standardized the baseballs there were all kinds of experiments. A chap in Boston invented a baseball which actually sounded a gong when it was hit by a bat or caught by a player. A circular hollow bell, furnished with a clapper, was used as a center. Then the yarn was wound around it. ,A double play sound ed like an alarm clock factory. And, in the old days, hen the home team had the choice of the ball and there was no uni form size, weight and structure, canny managers would use either a "dead" ball or a "fast" ball depending upon their type of team. It's different now. High- School Scores FRIDAY BASEBALL Portland Schools Grant 8, Cleveland 1 Lincoln 10.
