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

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.

gairdneiii, commonly known
as steelhead trout, when found

has jurisdiction.
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

barriers to take our fish or their
spawn to be used in the propa
gation of fish for commercial in
terest. 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.

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

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
