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?

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

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

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.

Graham Appointed State
DAV Publicity Director
Patrick Graham, commander
of district 5 of the Disabled

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. The two clubs and
Coquille were out of the title

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. The Klamath Tule

lake refuge area will be treated
as if it were in Oregon and will

ing season as this state.
