Tough Lane Trade Pays-Off Pronto As Dickson, Wehmeier Aid SL By FRED DOWN United Presi Sports Writer Frank Lane's acquisition of Murry Dickson and Herman Wehmeier paid its first big divi dend yesterday and proved anew that the St. Louis Cardi nals' boss has a "golden touch' in the trade mart. Dickson and Wehmeier made their debuts with the Cardinals on Sunday, 48 hours after Lane obtained them in a five player deal with the Philadelphia Phil lies, and played key roles in a 3-2 and 14-7 sweep of the Chi cago Cubs. The victories en abled the Cardinals to keep pace with the first-place Milwaukee Braves, who scored 15-0 and 6-1 wins over the Cincinnati Red leas. The 39-year-old Dickson was 0-3 with the Phillies this season but Sunday he went 8 23 in nings in the opener to pick up his first victory of the season. Jackie Collum, acquired from the Redlegs in another Lane deal, won his third game of the year in the nightcap but it was Wehmeier, 0-2 this season be fore St. Louis obtained him, who closed out the game with two hitless innings of relief pitching. Blasted Six Pitchers The Cardinals scored all their runs in the fourth inning of the opener with Dickson himself doubling to drive in a run. men Ken Boyer drove in five runs with his seventh and eighth homers to lead a bristling 13 hit assault on six pitchers in the nightcap. Warren Spahn pitched his sec ond straight shutout and the 36th of his career and Ray Crone followed with a six hitter as the Braves made it seven victories in their last eight games. Spahn, Chuck Tanner and Del Crandall homered in the first game. Duke Snider drove in five runs with a grand slam and a solo homer to lead -the Brooklyn Dodgers to a 6-4 decision over the New York Giants. Don New combe was credited with his fifth win although he needed relief from Clem Labine in the seventh. Phillies Loss Tenth The Pittsburgh Pirates hand ed the Phillies their 10th straight loss 11-9, routing ex Card Harvey Haddix in his de but but the Phillies held a 6-2 lead when the second game was suspended until July 3 because of the state curfew law. Dave Philley's three-run hom er and George Zuverink's relief pitching gave the Baltimore Orioles a 5-1 victory after the New York Yankees won their opener, 11-2. Al Rosen and Rocky Colavito homered to lead the Cleveland Indians to a' 9-4 win after Art Ditmar's four hitter enabled the Kansas City Athletics to beat Bob Feller, 5-2, in their opener.

Will it ever happen? No. Yet the Cubs struggled in seventh place in the National League race today while their Los Angeles property continued to lead the Pacific Coast League, thanks to excellent pitching and solid hitting. The chesty cherubs swept a double header from San Fran cisco Sunday, 9-3 and 4-0, as big Steve Bilko smashed his cus tomary home run with men on base. - However, Los Angeles couldn't shake pesky Sacramento, which remained a game behind in sec ond place with twin wins over San Diego, 7-6 and 6-5. Portland, Seattle Split Portland and Seattle split their double header. Seattle won the opener, 3-0, and Portland took the nightcap, 3-1. The Sun day blue law in British Colum bia kept Vancouver and Holly wood the league's also rans chairborne in the lobby.

LONG United Press Sports Writer A long winning streak and an even longer losing streak both came to an end with a bang Sunday in the Northwest League with Tri-City and Salem provid ing the fireworks. Tri-City snapped a six-game Wenatchee win streak with gusto, edging the Chiefs 5-4 in the 10-inning opener of a double header, then slamming Wen atchee 15-7 in a "fight-filled" nightcap that saw both starting catchers thumbed out of the game. Right Combination Salem finally found the right combination arid swept both ends of a twin bill from Lewiston, 8-0 and 8-5, after losing eight in a row. Yakima's Bears apparently were angered by losing to Spo kane, 11-7 in the first game of their doubleheader with the In dians, for they roared back to claw the Spokane club, 18-2, in the nightcap. The fistic explosion was touch ed off during a Tri-City rally when catcher Milt Martin bumped Wenatchee catcher Jake Lafby while coming home on a base hit. Several other fights broke out before order was restored and Martin and Lafby were ejected from the game.

Veteran Boatman Rogue to Driving I'd rather run the river any day than drive one of the free ways in San Francisco. The river's a lot safer, believe me." That's the feeling of Sid Pyle, master Rogue river boatman and veteran guide. Sid and his brother, Press, have been running the Rogue, one of the Pacific coast's most famed and beautiful streams, for 28 years. They take passengers on the awesome 126-mile boat voyage down the river from Grants Pass to Gold Beach. The Pyle brothers man the oars on the stretches over the Rogue's, torrential rapids. They take pride in the accident-free record over their many years on the fabulous stream. The thrilling run down the Rogue has drawn attention and has attracted travelers from near and far because of the dramatic experience, the contrasts and the fishing it provides. Waters on southern Oregon farmed river are rampaging and roaring on some parts of the journey and clear and serene at other stages. bcenery ranges from fresh and green to rocky and rugged and life along the banks is both wild and calm. Game Abound Trout, steelhead, deer and bear abound for the nimrods. Charging $200 per person, with a special rate of $150 dur ing the summer, the Pyles take as many as eight people at a time on the five day jaunts down the Rogue. Days are spent on the water and nights in comfort able riverside lodges.
