Hunting 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

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.

One of Stanford's all-time
greats, Yardley is having his
finest year with the Pistons. He
is among the NBA's top five
scorers with a current 21.2 aver
age, rough off the boards and
also highly regarded for his de

Giants Threaten I
To Fine Gomez
By UNITED PRESS
Ruben Gomez' failure to re
port to the New York Giant's
training base renewed specula
tion today that he may be dealt
off to the Cincinnati Redlegs.
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.
