Newspaper Page TextHunting and Fishing Southern Oregon 7 MEL Considerable agitation hat been aroused among th fishing fraternity about the proposed re laxing of the boat speed limit on Diamond Lake to permit water skiing. Fiery arguments, peti tions, letters to Salem and phone calls have all served to make the past week a lively owe. Have Two Theories Whether water skiing and the operation of speed btt on the lake is right or wrong depends entirely upon the viewpoint. From the angle of the summer home owner it eould seem a shame to let all that heautiful water go to waste when one had a ivne boat, a fait meHor and a pair of skis. And I imagine to the non-fisherman, it swmi ut terly silly to see those little boats either snailing Along dragging some foolish lure or just anch ored in some uncharted spot in the lake in hope that they can have fish for supper. On the other hand, the fisher man holds an almost obscure view to anything that smacks of a speedboat when he is fishing. It can be very disconcerting to say the least to have your motor at good trolling speed and the boat nicely headed for pay water Senior Church Title at Stake This Evening First Methodist and St. Mark's Episcopal vie this evening in the play-off for the Senior Church Basketball league championship.

PETERSEN Uwtee Tiuum lptti Edilot Lakeland. TU. (U.P) Jack CJfi, is) hie sVeahman season as ratjnr league manager, agreed today with those who pick the Detroit Tigers as the most improved team in the Am erican league. "I thiftk we will prove it all right," Tighe said. "But we'll have to wait and see if that im provement is gpod enough to make up the 15 games we fin ished behind the Yankees last season.-' Admitting that beating the Yankees "is going to be quite a project," Tighe declared that the Tiger players "feel that they have a real chance." Needs Starting Pitcher "And that's Important," he added, "and I'm not going to eay anything to make them feel differently. The plain - speaking Tighe mincedr.no words when he dis cussed the prospects of the Ti gers. "We need a pitcher and a right handed hitting outfielder," he said. "And we are going to have to find them among our young sters for tlw other clubs in the league are a bit leery of dealing with us, figuring we are strong enough as it is." Right now, he doesn't know whether he will be able to fill those gaps. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE Br United Press Just when things were going good for the Montreal Canadiens, along came the Toronto Maple Leafs to spoil the defending Stanley Cup champions' bid to overhaul the Detroit Red W ings. The Leafs, who had beaten the Canadiens in only three of 12 previous games this season in the National Hockey league. skated as though they were battling for first-place Wednes day night to wind up with a 3-1 triumph.

SPORTS HEES and then have a foaming mon ster charge down the lake in your direction and probably make a 90 degree turn within yards of a crash. This may sound exaggerated but it is only too true and the fishermen have long memories. Too Many Unthinking True, only the unthinking speedboat operator would do such a thing but the past has proved that there are too many unthinking ones. I have wit nessed a fast boat making a sharp turn within a few yards of some anchored fishermen that almost upset them. This was done not once but many times when there was 10 miles of lake to ride in. An acquaintance of mine told the other day that his brother, his little boy and father were fishing on a lake in the East when a fast boat pulling skiis crashed into them, smashing the boat and killing the older man and the boy. Accidental yes but unnecessary. It is pointed out by the angling fraternity that sportsmen's dol lars, thousands of them, were spent ridding Diamond of the trash fish. Thousands of addi tional dollars went into the re stocking of it and they feel that it should be restricted to fishing. I feel that if this lake is re stricted to fishing only, there should be some good lake within easy distance of our three south ern Oregon cities where the speedboat enthusiasts and skiers could have unrestricted use. I have wondered why Lake of the Woods would not be a good spot for this type of sport. Certainly if a lake or lakes were set aside for this sport, the fishermen who ventured thereon would do so at their own risk. There certainly should be enough water around these parts so we could all have our cake and eat it too. Gate Back and Locked Over a year ago J. I. Welch of Grants Pass spent a great deal of time and effort to get the county road access to Gold Ray dam reopened to use. Up to this time boats had to be transported across the railroad tracks and down the bank to the water which, to say the least, was an undertaking. Mr. Welch found from study ing the records that this road running in from the Sam's Val ley road was a county road and was supposed to be for the use of the public. After additional research the road was ordered opened, i.e. the gate was ordered removed from it. This made it very convenient for both fisher men and hunters to park their cars and launch their boats with a minimum of inconvenience. Word has just been received that the gate is back across the road and it is padlocked. The big question is where the author ity came from to close this road again. Investigation has begun to determine just what happened and who was responsible for what happened. It is possible that this column will be able to keep the valley sportsmen in formed as to the findings of this investigation. Certainly the many anglers and hunters who use this water way should be allowed a reason able access spot and it would not seem right that a public ac cess road should be denied them. Bobo Says He Got Only Part Of His Purses Washington (U.R) Carl (Bobo) Olson earned some mighty fat purses while he was middleweight boxing champion, but now claims that he actually received only a small fraction of the money. ' Olson, in a letter filed Feb. 25, told the U. S. Tax Court which is looking into his tax troubles, that he worked for the Sid Flaherty Promotional En terprises, Inc., of California dur ing that period. Flaherty was his boxing manager. Olson said he purses amount ed to $189,648 in 1954, but his pay was only $30,656; his purses in 1955 were S195.716, but his pay was only $50,788. The gov ernment claims Olson owes $83, 464 in income tax for 1954 and $52,565 for 1955. Internal Revenue Commis sioner Russell C. Harrington, told Olson he was entitled to two-thirds of his net purses, un der California law, and that was the amount upon which his tax was based. 400 to 500 Fans See Red Heads Play Here Some 400 to 500 people turned out at Hedrick gym last night to see the AU-American Red Heads girls' basketball team play the Medford grade achool men's teachers. The men came out on the long end of the score 42 to 35. They used a platoon system. No fouls were called on the girls during the evening. Proceeds from the game went to the Medford City Teachers association's fund to help sick or injured teachers.

The Giants made it plain that they are fed up with the Sen or's annual spring game of "hide and seek" when club President Horace Stoneham threatened a sliding scale of fines for every day he is absent from the Phoe nix, Ariz., training base. Stone ham made that announcement Wednesday after sending Gomez a cable in San Juan, P.R., de manding an explanation. The Giants, meanwhile, are chortling over the heavy slug ging of 38-year-old Hank Sauer in their intra-squad games. Sauer, the team's possible No. 4 hitter, walloped his third ho mer of the spring in Wednes day's game and has knocked in a total of 11 runs in three con tests. basketball as well as a danger ous shooter. Still another great scorer is Palazzi, who cracked Cousy's scoring records at Holy Cross. Palazzi was originally a mem ber of the Boston Celtics, but was traded to Syracuse last year. r"" "p l) if Lb IN SOUTHERN OREGON V2 GRAIN-FED BEEF COMPLETELY CUT, WRAPPED, QUICK FROZEN READY FOR YOUR FREEZER OR LOCKER APPROXIMATELY 200 LBS. 2-25 -ib.
