Leslie ZumwaU, northwest re gional supervisor for the com mission and in charge of dis posal operations, said "We are not surprised at the number of carp that were in the lake. Many more tons of thern are still on the bottom, and we will be busy for several days disposing of them as they come to the sur face. " Library Man Softball Hitter Washington '! What's new in Washington: Maybe the major leagues ought to have a look at Gordon Ward, who plays in the Library of Congress Softball League. Ward now is hitting at a .615 clip. That's unusual in Softball be cause the pitcher is only a short distance from home plate and practically puts Ins foot in the batter's mouth with every toss. Ward, incidentally, is a pitcher himself and his team leads the league. British association for the Ad vancement of Science is now 125 years old, having been organized and activated professionally in 1831. WE SANDBLAST CLEAN . . . Auto Parts Motor Armatures O OREGON Granite Co. 4th & Front Streets Dial 2-2214 Kroll, 3urke Vie in PGA Finals Today By LEO H. PETERSEN United Press Sports Editor ! Canton, Mass. 'J.P Curly ; haired Jackie Eurke and dead panr.ed Ted Kroll two of the greatest putters in the game met , today for the PGA golf champ ionship at Blue Hills Country club. Eurke. winner of the Mas'ers last year, was a slight favon'e j over Kroil, a 10-year veteran of j the tournament trail who never has won a major title. Burke figured he was "just : plain lucky'' to be in the final? ! for he came back from being 5 down after 14 holes to win out i over Ed Furgol. the 1354 Open i champion whose putting went sour, 1 up in an extra hoie af'er they were all-even at the end ' of the regulation 36-hole serr.i- ; final. , Putting Sank Furgol ! "If I'd been putting I'd have ; beaten him about 9 and 8." said ! Furgol. "Rut I just couldn't drop j them except on that 36th hole." I "That's rizM.' Burke agreed. Wlvn I finally beat him. it was on the greens. This was one j day when I just had to feel that I sometimes it's better to be lucky i than good. ' ! Jackie, 33-year-old native Tex- an playing out of Kiamesha j Lake. N.Y.. figured he was lucky : in more ways than Furgol's poor putting. On one hole he hit the trees and bounced back onto the fairway. On another, his ball stopped against water pipe and he was allowed to move it two club lengths, giving him a clear shot at the green. But he had to be good, too. For on the 3fith hole Furgol could have shaken him apart when Ed exploded out of a trap within seven feet and sank the putt for a birdie. Burke, going for an eagle and the match, just missed his putt so they went into sudden death. Recalls Middlecoff Match Remembering that just a year ago he lost out to Cary Middle coff in four extra holes in the semi-finals at Northville, Mich., after being 2 up with two holes to go. Burke decided that he would play the first extra hole for a half. "I thought that might cool Ed off," he explained, "so I de cided I'd settle to stay alive." But when he put his second shot on, 12 feet from the pin. on the extra hole, and Furgol was 30 feet away, he changed his mind. MEDFORIvilaWrRIBUNE DiPietro Blames Low Season On High Pressure at Bat By SCOTT BAILLIE United Press Sports Writer San Francisco "J.P This is a lean season for Bob DiPietro and the ' take charge" guy of '.he San Francisco Seal? candid ly admi's that he has only him self to blame. "I think a lot of my trouble came from trying to bnt .371 all over again." DiPietro said today as he leaned against the back stop after playing every infield position during practice. "The result is that I've been pressing and the average shows it." Flam Victor in jClay Court Finals River Forest. 111. U.P Herbie Flam, who had uphill going all the way. today held the National Clay Courts singles ; title after a lapse of five years. j Flam, the nation's eighth-rated player, captured the singles crown Mondav by coming from behind to defeat Eddie Moylan, 3-ti. 6-3. 1-6. 6-3. 6-3. The women's singles title went to Wimbledon champion Shirley Fry who defeated Althea Gib- enn 7-rl and 6-1 ' Game Hearing Set At Portland Friday; t T-i i j .'MD a 1 I UI UcillU lU.r. .-v IIVUI prior to adoption of the 1956 hunting regulations will be held at the Portland office of the en me commission, at 10 a.m. Fri day. Game commission officials said the public is invited to at tend the hearing to present rec ommendations. Tentative regulations were adopted a week ago. Rita Haywcrth Shaken In Sliqht Accident London 'U.R' Screen star Rita Hayworth was "shaken" but unhurt early today when her Rolls Rovce was involved in a slight accident with a truck. Miss Hayworth was en route to a movie studio where she is making a picture at the time of the accident. "The Deep." one of three hold overs from last year's revamped club, was slugging at an amaz ing .371 in the middle of the 11155 campaign then snapped his ridht ankle sliding. The fracture put him into a cast for the rest of tiie season and one of the most heartwarming comebacks in Seals history was blacked out. DiPietro had batted .269 the previous season and he is right around there again with a .272. Battles Too Hard "There was one advantage to hitting .371," DiPietro laughed with a trace of his old humor. "Whenever I began to tail off I could stay relaxed with an averace that high and not worry too much. But when a fellow finds himself around .270 he often battles too hard to break out of it and does worse." The first baseman, who com mutes to work from Fairfax. Calif., is logging quite a lot of bench time this season while Larry DiPippo cavorts around that position. Bob doesn't make any bones over the fact that he feels the clutch more when sud denly dropped into a spot situa tion, usually as pinch-hitter. "I'm not the ice-water type," he explained. "When I'm in the lineup steadily I take a clutch situation as a matter of course. ; But when I am looking on then suddenly find myself going up to pinch-hit, I feel the pressure j a little." i Swing Improved j And Deepy thinks better times j are coming. He became a father ! for the second time earlier this 1 season and that is a load off his I mind. And he also feels that I Manager Joe Gordon may have l helped him with his swing. I Gordon's method of stopping players from uppercutting the ball consists of having them I bring their wrists down smartly i as they take their swing as if they were going to hit down on the sphere. This is supposed to counteract the golfing tendency and results in a level swing. "I'm feeling more relaxed now and think I'll improve as soon as I stop worrying about trying tn hit .370 all over again," Di l ic tro said again. ' ' 'W ' X .

Spokane En First Place By RAY ANDREWS United Press Sports Writer The Spokane Indians have parked their team atop the Northwest League standings once again but a pair of neighbors is in position to tear it down. Last night, the Indians moved out in front with an 8-6 triumph over Yakima to go ahead on percentage points although still virtually tied with Salem and Wenatchee. The Indians went on the war path in the late innings scoring three in the seventh and four in the ninth. The four in the ninth came after two were out and started with a throwing error. Four singles and a walk chased across the markers. Lewiston a'so used the big inning technique in topping Sa lem 9-8. The Broncs rallied for six runs in the eighth for the de cision. Joe Jacobs' three -run home run sent across the even tual winning run. Two singles, a . double and a walk also were included in the rally. Mac Schmidt of Lewiston hit a solo homer in the sixth. The decision went to Bob Wadsworth who entered in relief in the first inning. He now is 7-6. Tri-City scored four runs in the first frame and added five in the fifth plus a single mark er in the ninth to take Eugene 10-7. Three singles, two walks and an error sent the four across in the first. In the fifth the Braves added five with the big blow a tA'o run triple by Dwayne Helbig. Ev Adridge took over in the second for Tri-City and went the route to take the decision al though he was racked hard at times. Tuesday, July 24. 1956 MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE i.f..i i !
