Yaks, Braves Victors in NWL Frays By HAY ANDREWS Unittd Preu Sport! Writer Two Northwest league hurlers bumped into the ninth-inning blues last night but weathered the storms to post victories. Don Boenker of Yakima went all the way in the Bears' 5-4 decision over Salem. Salem had pushed across two runs in the ninth and had the tying run on base before Boenker got off the hook. Yakima got its winning run in the top of the ninth on an error, a walk and a single by Dick Renner. Ted Kazek of Tri-City was rocked for two homers in the ninth but stayed around to notch a 9-6 decision over Lewiston. Bruce Macintosh belted a two- run homer and Gene Kllngler hit one with the bases empty for Lewiston in the ninth. Joe Riney hit a solo homer for the Broncs in the sixth. However. TH-City collected 14 hits including a two-run homer in the fifth by Tom Perez to stake Kazek to the victory. Ray Zarl, Tri-City catcher, had two doubles and drove in three runs and Perez had two other hits to go with his homer. A scheduled game between Spokane and Wenatchee was washed out at the end of four innings with the score 0-0. Glen Isringhaus. Wenatchee pitcher, had not allowed a hit and Bill Bottler, Spokane's moundsman, had allowed only one scratch single in the four innings. GP, Glendale in Feature RVL Brush; Colts Go to BF Grants Pass will be the scene of the main attraction this Sun day in the Rogue Valley Base ball league. The Merchants will be hosts to Glendale in their afternoon rucku:i. Rivalry between the two clubs is for lone possession of the league leadership. The two clubs currently are tied in the race. Other games take the Cheney Colts to Butte Falls, Eagle Point to Cave Junction and Ashland to Camp White. The Colts and Cave Junction are favored in their tangles and victories by the two clubs would move them into a tie for second place with the losers of the GP Glendale skirmish. First place is out of reach this week for the Cheney and Junction nines. Colts' pitching call Sunday likely will go to Duane Sides with Howard Morris catching. Infielders may be Harvey Tonn at first base, Morrie Churchman at second, Frank Rector at shortstop and Donn Johnson at third. Outfielders will be chosen from among Doy Gatlin, Ed Reinking, Larry Bigham, Bob Serak and Laval Meunier. Bigham pulled a muscle in the Wednesday game at Roseburg, and his status for the Sunday mix is not certain. Bruce Forette, from Contra Costa Junior college may be with the Colts this week end. He made a tryout appearance with- the parent club Studs on the mound at Bend on Wednes day. Bob Nelson may get the start ing call on the mound for Camp White with Al Waldron and Don Mintz on hand for relief if re quired. Ashland may choose from among Gene Pareftt, Jerry Montgomery and Eldon Durham. Joey Lopes Faces Rosi New York (U.R) Lightweight Joey Lopes of Sacramento, Calif. pits his speed and skill against Italian Paolo Rosi s punch to night in their TV-radio 10-round-er at Madison Square Garden. Lopes, 25, is favored at 13-10 because of his combined youth and experience, and his former ranking. Until last Jan. 13, Lopet was raied tenth among contenders for the 135-pound crown. Then he was defeated by Ludwig Lightburn, number seven, in a close fight at San Francisco; and he dropped out of the ratings. Since then California Joesy registered four straight victories. He hopes to score an impressive TV win tonight and bounce back Into the rankings. Rosi, 28, is a "name" fighter although unranked. Because of his punch he has difficulties getting matches with top-flight- ' MEDFORDiWrRIBimE IPdDIETr s Waivers Signed By Bilko, Mauch Los Angeles U.R) Home run slugger Steve Bilko and his teammate, Gene Mauch, of the Los Angeles Angels have signed 1957 contracts with the Pacific Coast league club.

Traps op en at 10 a.m. Ernie Given Nod in Bout Portland (U.R) Ernie Dur ando, 162 pounds, Bayonne, N.J., won a split 10-round decision from Jimmy Martinez, 160, Phoe nix, Thursday night. The referee scored the fight 56 points to 51 in favor of Mar tinez, but the judges scored it for Durando by slim margins, 54 to 53 and 57 to 53. Durando, making his first ap pearance in the ring in eight months, wasn't the Durando of old, according to his handler, Joe Vella. "His timing was off," said Vella, "but that was to be ex pected because of his inactivity, We have no excuses to make." United Press scored it seven rounds for Martinez, two even, one for Durando.

Two classes have been cut from and a special unsanctioned ' class has been added to this years second an nual Stockton to Redding river race, August 18-19. The cuts are CU and DU, both two-day classes last year. Addi tion is a Sunday-boater division with four classes within itself. CU was cut because of the lack of possible entries. The two- day DU class was eliminated in order to channel more of the big boats into the straight-through Diamond cup race on August 19. ine changes mean no cut in the sack full of prize money ($5,000), however. First place in the Diamond cup still pays 81,000. All the others, with the exception of unsanctioned, pay $500 first place money. To encourage professionals to stay out of the unsanctioned class, no money will be offered. Trophies only will be awarded. The four unsanctioned groups will be divided primarily by horsepower motor ratings: 15-20, 20-25, 25-30, 30-35.

Trappers' Year Good One Despite Market Slump Portland Oregon trappers again enjoyed a good year dur ing the 1955-56 trapping season despite a small slump in the fur market that carried throughout the year. Figures compiled by Chet Kebbe, chief of furbearers, Ore gon Game Commission, show that 53,532 pelts brought a re turn of more than $219,296.00 to the 1,598 licensed trappers during the 1955-56 season. This is a drop of approximately $53, 000.00 from the fur returns of the previous season. Muskrats lead in the number of pelts taken, numbering more than all other fur animals com bined. A total of !6,240 muskrat pelts brought a return to trap pers of $35,152.80. Malheur, Klamath, and Lane counties were the leading muskrat pro ducing areas. Beaver Market Stable The beaver market held stable at an average price of $11.90, bringing to the trappers $137, 242.70 for the 11,533 beaver pelts taken. Lane county was the big beaver producer with 1,690 taken, followed by Clatsop where trappers took 889 pelts and Columbia with 707 pelts. Trappers took 2,890 mink for a return of $39,621.90. Average price was $13.71. Clatsop, Lane and Douglas counties were the top mink producers. Highest prices were brought by otter pelts which sold for an average price of $20.65. How ever, only 188 pelts were taken, bringing to the trapper a little more than $3,880.00. Long haired fur animals were lightly trapped as their pelts had little value on the fur market Most of the trapping efforts were devoted to catching mink, muskrat and beaver, all of which brought a fair return for the trapper's efforts.
