Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon Bt MEL Among the rash of bills that have been presented to the pres ent session of the legislature, two stand out as being of vital interest to the fishermen of Ore gon. Strange as it may seem, al though both of these bills are aimed at bettering our waning fishery, one of them would no doubt be very beneficial to sports fishing while the other might and probably would be detri mental. Senate Bill No. tt relates to the definition of game fish in the fish and game laws. At the present time steelhead over 20 inches in length do not come under the category of game fish and are netted commercially in the Columbia river, bays and mouths of many excellent steel head streams and of course within the three mile limit. This bill would amend the ex isting law to read, "As used in any of the laws of Oregon, 'salm on' includes chinook. silversides, steelhead, blueback, sockeye and all andromous species of salmon and trout, except that steel heads in the waters of the Co lumbia river or the Rogue river, any of their tributaries or within a radius of three miles from the center of the mouth of the Co lumbia river or the Rogue river are classified as game fish." (EDITOR'S NOTE: Since o Senat BUI No. 78 has boon introduced an amendment has been proposed which would declare iteelhead game fish in all streams in Oregon, not just in the Rogue and Columbia. The proposal eliminates the word steelhead from the desig nation "salmon" as used in existing laws and drops the portion of the foregoing para graph specifically listing the Rogue and Columbia. It classi fies as a game fish salmo Phil Hurler Ready for 8th Opener By UNITED PRESS Robin Roberts is ready for his eighth straight opening day as signment and a season that'll show whether he's still one of baseball's super stars. The powerful right-hander demonstrated that Friday when he became the first Philadelphia - Phillies' pitcher to go nine in nings enroute to a 5-4 triumph over the Chicago White Sox. Roberts held the White Sox to O seven hits and was in trouble only in the fourth inning when two singles, a walk and Sherman Lollar's homer produced all their runs. ' Warren Hacker, Birdie Teb betts' No. 1 reclamation project, also went the distance Friday when he pitched the Cincinnati Redlegs0 to a 7-2 decision over the Washington Senators. Brares Beat Cards - Milwaukee Braves made it seven wins in their last eight games when they beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-1. The New York Yankees squared their "Spring World Series'" at two games each with 4-3 victory over the Brooklyn a Dodgers. Herb Score and Cal McLish pitched two-hit ball that enabled the Cleveland Indians to beat the Boston Red Sox, 7-1. The New York Giants clinched the Cactus league title when they beat the Baltimore Orioles, 4-2, to make their spring record 13-6. Th Pittsburgh Pirates rallied to beat the Detroit Tigers, 6-5. Eddie Winceniak and ' Joe Macko hit homers as the Chi cago Cubs scored an 8-2 victory over Memphis,- and the Kansas City Athletics downed Buffalo 6-3.

Further amendment would refer the Act to the roters at the next regular general elec tion.) Staggering Amount Recently commercial fishing interests on the Columbia re ported in the press that the steel head catch was very insignifi cant in relation to the total take but this "insignificant amount" was such a staggering amount of fish that it would look like the old days if it could be punched on the cards of the state's steel head anglers. Commercial netters say that if they could not take large steel head it would be impracticable to net at all for the mesh size of a net which would allow these fish to pass through would also allow most of the Chinooks to escape. They further state that it would seriously affect the economy of Oregon as far as fishing is concerned. It is doubtful if the economy would be seriously affected for an investigation conducted a couple of years or so ago re vealed the fact that the large proportion of commercial fish ermen depended on fishing as only' a part time job. Hardly Seems Profitable From the sportsman's angle. it hardly seems profitable that hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent in the propagation and releasing of steelhead only to have them turned up in the fishermen s nets and end up in a can on the grocer's shelf. It is a known fact that the value of a fish taken by hook and line dollar wise is such a major factor economically that fish taken commercially is of very little importance in com parison. This, is evident when it is realized the amount of money the sportsman spends for tackle, clothing, gas and oil, lodging, boats, motors and incidentals. It is also a recognized fact that the commercial take on the Co lumbia is dwindling year by year and if this trend contiiues, the time will come when there will be no fishing at all. With the increased population pressure on the sports fishery it behooves the sportsman to do all in his power to protect the resources we still have. Very definitely Senate Bill No. 78 should receive the hearty support of every fisherman in Oregon. Insidious House Bill No. 700 is so broad in its scope as to be insidious. In the first place it is being pro posed at the request of the State Fish Commission which body has never, in their grab for com mercial interests, ingratiated themselves in the hearts of the sportsmen. It will be recalld that the State Fish Commission, by dubious tactics, succeeded in having a bill killed which would have stopped commercial fishing on the rivers of Oregon. This bill was subsequently passed at the last legislature after the sports men found out the real story be hind it. House Bill 700 states, "The Fish Commission of the State of Oregon may utilize any existing natural or artificial barrier or other obstruction in or across any of the streams in this state or may erect traps, racks or other obstructions in or across any of the streams in this state for the purpose of obtaining salmon, shad, sturgeon or other anadromous, food or shellfish or eggs from such fish for propa gative, experimentive, exhibitive or scientific purposes." Locally this bill, if passed into law, would give the Fish Com mission, a commission which deals solely in commercial fish ing interests, the right to use any Simplify Your Concrete Work TRU-MIX I CONCRETE C? 248E.McANDREWS RDt UBtfDWILEIW ROGUE ROLLERS Pioneer Cafe swept four games from Batemans to hold its four game lead in Rogue Rollers bowling league.

They could use existing fish racks or traps for this pur pose or construct traps or racks any place they saw fit. An Indication Behind the scenes, it has been known for some time that the Fish Cmmission has been trying to edge into the sports fishing department for some time pos sibly hoping that if talk of merg ing the Oregon State Game Com mission with the Fish Commis sion comes to a head, they will be in position to have a sajvin the distribution of offices and power. The proposal of House Bill No. 700 would certainly seem an indication that this is true. It is very evident that any thing they took from the streams would not be used for the propa gation of ' fish on that or any other sports stream in Oregon, for commercial fishing is not al lowed on any stream now with the exception of the Columbia which is of course jointly owned by Washington and Washington. This bill then could do absolutely nothing constructive for the sportsman but could and prob ably would do a great deal of damage. Sportsmen of Oregon who val ue their fishing would do well to contact their state senator and representatives with a NO vote for House Bill No. 700 and YES for Senate Bill No. 78.

Long Basket Gives Hawks Playoff Win Boston OI.R) Jack Cole man sank an off-balance backet with 28 seconds remaining in the second overtime period to give the St. Louis Hawks a 125 123 victory over the Boston Cel tics Saturday in the opening game of the National Basketball association championship play offs. After the ex-Rochester player sunk his going-away two-hander from 20 feet out, the two teams fought nervously and careless ly for possession of the ball. St. Louis missed four chances from the foul line, while Boston lost control on an out-of-bounds in the waning seconds to end its chance of tying the game again. Pettit Scores 37 Scoring ace Bob Pettit shared the hero's role with Coleman, the brilliant St. Louis forward tallying 10 points in the two five-minute extra sessions to keep the Hawks in the game. It was a personal duel between Pettit, who was high man in the game with 37 points, and Bos ton rookie Tommy Heinsohn who ended up with 26 points, 10 of them during the overtime periods. Bill Sharman led the Boston scorers with 36 points. A crowd of 5,976 and a na tional television audience wit nessed the exciting first game of the best-of-seven series. The two teams play here again tomorrow afternoon. DEDICATE WINS Bowie, Md. U.R Mrs. Jan Burke's Dedicate, beaten by a nose by Christopher T.

CALL FOR LININGER'S PHONE ASH. 8121 Sunday, March 31, 1957 Louisiana May New Orleans (U.R) The Louisiana Boxing commission may let itself in for a libel suit or criminal action for violating the state's segregation law Tues day night when it presumably will try to prove Ralph Dupas, the nation's sixth ranking light weight boxer, is a Negro. Dupas' boxing career in Louisiana was put in jeopardy Friday when the commission moved to cancel his April 8 bout here with Vince Martinez of Pat erson, N.J., and attempted to show that Dupas is a Negro. Louisiana law forbids racially mixed athletic events, if the commission declares Dupas a Negro, it may have to show proof in a libel suit. Dupas claims he is white. He fought Ike Logart Licks Turner New York (U.R) Welter weight contender Isaac Logart, who licked Gil Turner again Fri day night, accepted a "rubber match" with Mexican Gaspar Ortega today reluctantly and conditionally. Cuban Logart insisted that his unanimous decision over Phila delphia's Turner in their return TV bout at Madison Square Gar den had earned him a title shot with champion Carmen Basilio. 12th Win "It was Ike's 12th win in his last 13 fights," explained Man ager Eddie Mafuz, "and we're offering Basilio a guarantee of $50,000 for a defense; but match maker Billy Brown says Basilio isn't available. So, we'll accept a third match with Ortega with the understanding that the win ner gets the Basilio shot." Logart, 23, weighed 147'4 to Turner's 14834 for Friday night's interesting 10-rounder. The Cu ban's solid left hooks at close quarters were largely responsi ble for his 6-3-1, 6-3-1, 6-4 vic tory over 26-year-old Turner. Rock-Roll Wins Amateur Stake Portland (U.R) Red River's Rock and Roll, a black Labrador male owned and handled by Peter Alport of Portland, won the amateur all-stake Friday in opening action of the Oregon Retriever Club's 23rd annual spring dog field trials at Sauvies island.
