TEH MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Friday. August 17. 195S Sugar's Handlers Negotiate With IBC Once More New York (U.R) Sugar Ray Robinson's four-man "brain trust" reopened negotiations to day for the rebellious middle weight champion to defend his title under International Boxing club promotion next month against Gene Fullmer. But Robinson, who broke with the IBC last Sunday, insisted the move was made without his approval. "Tliey can make any match they want, but I won"t fight for the IBC, " he declared. Despite the champion's atti tude, his handlers united in urg ing him to cease negotiations with promoters in Philadelphia and Los Angeles for the Full mer defense. 'We're fed up with these out side negotiations," Co-manager Ernie Braca said. "We want a compromise with Jim Norris, so he and his IBC can stage the fight at Yankee stadium, Sept. 25." Is That So? ly fugn turn Rjngar-Naturaliit If a dog could talk, some dog experts believe he'd have plenty of nasty comments to make on the disgraceful treatment he gets from many well-meaning human owners. Mostly, this is due to popular misconceptions. To correct them, and improve Rover's lot, here's another Fact vs. Fallacy piece. Fallacy: All dogs need bones and like to gnaw on fhem for nourishment. Fact: A big beef bone is fine for an occasional treat, 'or for tooth-cutting. But the constant gnawing of bones wears down the enamel-covered crowns of the teeth. As for the bones of fish, fowl, rabbit, mutton or others that splinter, they are de cidedly dangerous. Regarding nourishment, a bone contains very little. Another popular fallacy is that rubber bones keep gums healthy. May be so, but rubber is one of the most dangerous things that a dog can swallow. Fallacy: A dog by its very na ture selects those foods and the amounts of food which its body needs. Fact: Practically all dogs are food-crazy and exercise extreme ly poor judgment- in selecting what is good or bad for them selves. To feed a dog three squares a day or to give it whatever happens to be on the family menu like macaroni, potatoes fried food, pancakes, apple pie or such will wreck almost any dog's health. According to canine-feeding experts, the best formula to fol low is this: One main meal a day for adult dogs which con sists of 50 per cent meat, 25 per cent cooked vegetables, and 25 per cent filler that is, dog bis cuit, toast, cold cereal, plus milk, eggs, or codliver oil. On this veterinarians are agreed: most family dogs are either improperly nourished or overfed. Fallacy: Dogs are not subject to human ailments. Fact: Dogs, like most mam mals, are very susceptible - to many human ailments they even get hardening of the ar teries. As for colds, dogs seem to catch them more readily than humans. They suffer, too. from car sickness. Left in a closed car or a freshly painted room they may even collapse. Fallacy: Dogs can get along very well without sleep. Fact: Lack of sleep will kill a doe Quicker than lack of food. Fallacy: A smart dog will readily understand its owner's commands. Fact: To penetrate a dog's in telligence, say authors Francis and Katharine Drake, an idea must be shown, acted out over and over. "Sit!" for instance should be acted out by pressing down gently on the dog's hind quarters: "Lie down!" by sliding front paws forward from a sit position; "Come! by jerking slightly on the leash, patting the knee. "If a dog is well drilled in these three basic lessons," they assert, "an owner should be able to halt him at any distance by command or gesture an ac complishment which has saved many a pet from being run over."

Studs Out to Cinch Toga Against Loggers A record of heavier hitting and more successful pitching will be carried into the three game stand this week end as the Medford Cheney Studs aim not only to wrap up the clear cut Southern Oregon league baseball championship but to make their overall season per formance more outstanding. Medford entertains the Co- quille Loggers at 1:45 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Saturday and at 2 p.m. on Sunday in the final sched uled series of the SOL for both aggregations. The Studs need only one win to take the title Rams Tussle 'Skin Eleven Los Angeles IU.R) Football fans will see what may be a pre view of next fall's National Pro fessional Football league cham pionship game - when the ' Los Angeles Rams and the Washing ton Redskins clash for charity in Memorial coliseum tonight be fore a crowd expected to top 80,000. The Rams, coached by Sid GiUman, won the Western divi sion title last year only to lose to the Cleveland Browns in the championship playoff. The Rams are considered the team to beat in the division again this year. Coach Joe Kuharich's Red skins are rated by the experts as the only squad capable of knocking off Paul Brown's na tional champions in the Eastern division after finishing second last year. DELANY AY-OFF ADVISED Dublin (U.R) Irish Olym pic mile runner Ron Delany, a student at Villanova, has been advised by doctors to take a two month lay-off from track com petition. However, Irish track officials were hopeful he would still be able to make the squad for the Olympic Games in Melbourne. CAMERON NOT READY Vancouver (U.R) Tailback Paul Cameron will not be in the starting lineup next Monday when the British Columbia Lions open the 195C Western Football conference season against the Calgary Stampeders. Cameron, who is awaiting discharge from the U. S. Army, arrived in the Lion camp several days ago and according to Coach Clem Crow is not ready to play. He starred at UCLA in his collegiate days. Graham Appointed State DAV Publicity Director Patrick Graham, commander of district 5 of the Disabled American Veterans, has been ap pointed publicity director of the Oregon department of DAV. This is the tfth year he has served as state publicity director. Graham was appointed by Joseph Vandervelden of Forest Grove, who recently was elected state commander. alone. A three-game sweep by Coquille would enable idle Drain to knot with Medford for the title. A .267 team batting mark will be taken into the series by the Studs while Coquille's record is only .198 for its 21 games. Co quille has only one man. Fete Goodbrod. at .375, hitting over the .300 mark and only one other. Herb Moreno, at .?75, slugging over .200. Maddox Hitting .396 . Medford has Terry Maddox socking at .396, Jack Cooney at .333, John Kovenz at .318 and Frank Roelandt at .300. In the over .200 category are Bill Martell .228. Bob Selspr .250, Derald Wooton .220 and Twink Pederson .208. And the Stud line-up packs power. Medford's pitching staff has won 14 games and lost seven in the circuit while Coquille's hurlers have an aggregate of nine wins and 12 losses. Derald Wooton of the Studs tops the circuit with a perfect victory record in five games. Bob Selsor has won four and lost two for the Studs and Don White has four victories and three setbacks. Dick Stephen, who beat Bend last week end, heads Coquille with four and two and Jim Lehl is three arid two. Gene Stafford has one win and two losses. The Logger twirlers have some sharp days and could come up with them against the Studs. Stafford lost a 1 to 0 decision to Bend when he pitched a fine one- hitter. White May Start White is likely to hurl the opener Saturday against Co quille. Manager Jack Cooney's choices for the remaining tussles will depend on the outcome of that game. Lehl and Stephens are almost certain to get start ing hill assignments with either Stafford or Dick Morana to get the other call. Frank Roelandt will be back to handle the Medford catching duties for the week end. Cooney probably will be at first base with Dick Toney at second, Pederson at shortstop and Mar- tell at third base. Maddox, Ko venz and Jerry Bettendorf may handle the outfield chores. Roy Harrington may do the backstopping for Coquille pitch ers. Other Logger expected to see duty include Ron Betnar, Ray Cimino. Dave Douglass, Ed Grossenbacher. Goodbrod, Charles Humble, Joe Marchand, Moreno, Vincent Miller and Butch Worthen. Coos Bay-North Bend and Bend have a series this week end also.

Waterfowl Seasons Selected for Oregon Portland (U.R) Phil Schnei der, state game director, said to day he was "disappointed" that the federal fish and wildlife service had set another 80-day period for waterfowl hunting seasons this year. A choice was given of 80 days between Oct. 1 and Jan. 15. The State Game Commission, after a telephone conference, picked Oct. 13 to Dec. 31 for Oregon's duck seasrn. Schneider said he had hoped there would be a 90-day season. The Pacific Flyway council had recommended this, he said, and would have been willing to have the bag limit reduced for more days of hunting. He said the problem was that waterfowl flights east and west of the Cas cades come at different times in Oregon. Seasons selected by the State Game commission for the hunt ing of ducks, geese, coots, jack snipe and brandt in Oregon were announced today by Ken n e t h G. Denman, Medford, member of the commission. An 80 -day season, Oct. 13 through Dec. 31, was chosen for ducks and geese. Coot season agreed upon is 105 days, Oct. 13 through Jan. 25, and jack snipe season is projected for 30 days, Nov. 17 through Dec. 16. Brandt hunting is set for Dec. 1 through Feb. 10, 72 days. Dates were chosen yesterday in a game commission telephone conference to fit within the framework of national regula tions. The selected dates will be wired to the Department of In terior for final approval. Bag Limits The bag limit for ducks is six per day or 12 in possession, plus three bonus birds, sprig or wid geon. Daily bag and possession limit on geese is six. Three can be dark geese but none can be Ross geese. Coot bag is 25 birds daily or in possession and eight jack snipe may be killed or possessed at one time. Brandt limit is three per day or in possession. In Benton, Linn, Lane, Yam hill and Polk counties there will be no season for dark geese aft er Dec. 15.
