By FRED DOWN
United Presi Sports Writer
Manager K.erDy iarren is
beaming for the first time this
spring today because the Cleve
land Indians finally are "getting
the runs which he says they
need to make a strong bid for
the American league pennant.
The Indians rolled to their
sixth straight victory Wednes
day when they pounded the New
York Giants, 13-6, and now
have averaged 9.3 runs a game
for six contests.
The feature of the Tribe's lat
est Datting splurge was a nuie-
run, seventh-inning rally cli
maxed by Rocky Colavito's two-
run homer. Gene Woodhng and
Joe Altobelli also homered in
12-hit attack that raised the In
dians' spring record to 13 vic
tories and nine defeats.

Tornado
Face Pels Saturday
There's little to go on, except
for Medford's slight edge in ex
perience, for fans who might
want to pick a favorite in the
Black Tornado's doubleheader
with the Klamath Falls ball
team on Saturday.
Medford and Klamath Falls,
competing for attention with a
track meet, will open their first
game at 1:30 p.m. Their tussles
will be one side of the fence. On
the other side of the Medford sta
dium enclosure will be the
Rogue relays.
Just the first game of the two
on the diamond will count in
Southern Oregon conference
standings. It will be the first
loop action for either club.
Klamath was rained out of a mix
with Crater last week while Med
ford cancelled its non-league
twinbill with Roseburg for the
same reason.
Both clubs, however, have
seen action. Medford has played
Yreka and got scrimmage under
game conditions Tuesday with
Crater. Klamath two week ends
ago had a twinheader with Prine-
ville. -
The Tornado and Pelican each
combine a handful of vets with
less experienced players. Med
ford has seven lettermen and
Klamath five. Along with the
monogram wearers in Tornado
uniforms are a group of sopho
mores inexperienced in prep
ball. Klamath bases its hopes for
support of experienced players
on a group of freshmen with
Babe Ruth league experience.
Players here, of course, had the
American Legion and Southern
Oregon junior programs for their
diamond grooming.
Just what service one of the
Klamath lettermen will see is a'
matter of conjecture. Butch
Kimpton, shortstop and second
baseman, is also a trackman.
Other Pel lettermen are pitchers
Mickey Carney and Darryl
Rusth, outfielder Joe Tawney
and third baseman Jerry Bram
well. Medford junior varsity met
the Eagle Point varsity this
afternoon.

Hunting and Fishing
Southern Oregon
Br MEL REES
On a recent trip to Southern
California I had the opportunity
of seeing a glass fishing rod in
process of manufacture. Al
though I have interviewed vari
ous, manufacturers from time to
time and knew something about
glass rods, still it was with a
great deal of interest that I was
able to follow one from the
resin pots to the charming lady
who wrapped the guides.
At the invitation of Herb
Jenks, general manager of Pa
cific Laminates, I joorneyed to
that beautiful little city of Costa
Mesa to the home ofthe famous
Silaflex rods.
' Probably the first and great
est surprise to me was the well
equipped laboratory where
skilled technicians compound
and test various types of resins
(the adhesive used to cement the
layers of glass cloth), check and
inspect different weaves of glass
cloth, study and record stresses
and actions in the finished rod
blanks and work out formulas
for rew types of rod actions.
It may be of interest to note
that all the machines used in the
making of the rods have to be
hand-made and usually are de
signed on the spot due to the
fact that in the processing of a
glass rod there isn't anything to
follow as a precedent. Some of
these machines are so ingenious
in their operation and so perfect;
ly accomplish the job for which
they are intended that the ob
server has a tendency to become
intrigued by the tool rather than
with the product it is making.
All the resins used in these
rods are mixed in great round
bottomed vats. The glass cloth
comes in large bolts, woven in
the cotton textile mills of our
deep Couth. This cloth is impreg
nated with hot resin, pulled be
tween two rollers to remove the
excess and hung from a high
ceiling to dry.
On the pattern table this resin
impregnated cloth is cut into
sail-like pieces, the design being
governed by the size of -the
blank and the taper. A tapered
steel mandrel is cemented to the

Top Portlanders
San Bernardino, Calif. (U.R)
Red Munger was scheduled to
pitch for Seattle today against

bition clash here.

bition win by topping Portland
6-4, despite a three-run rally in

edge of one of these pieces of
cut cloth and rolled in an in
genious machine which heats
the resin so it will thoroughly
impregnate the layers and at the
same time rolls the cloth on the
mandrel exerting approximately
100 pounds to the square inch.
These cloth wrapped mandrels
are next inspected for flaws then
wrapped with scotch tape. From
here the blanks are given sev
eral cbats of resin rubbed on by
hand to ensure the proper coat
ing and baked between each
coat. A special sanding machine
removes any rough spots and the
blanks are Teady for ferruling.
A special machine sizes and in
stalls the ferrules for a super
tight fit and the rod is ready
for the cork handle, fly seat,
spinning rings Or metal reel seat.
Most anglers are acquainted
with the wrapping of the guides
and tip. Color preservative and
varnish are placed only on the
guides as the rod does not re
quire any Other finish besides
the final coat of resin.
Of interest to steelhead fisher
men in this area is the entirely
new "Magnum" rod which is just
now entering the market. This
rod is an entirely new concept
in a fishing rod. The tip is very
limber so that even the slight
est strike or "pick up" can be
felt. When the fish is hooked the
tip ceases to enter into the pic
ture and the rest of the rod is a
powerhouse.
For some time steelheaders
have wanted something light
enough to really "feel" the
lightest bites but heavy enough
to battle a big fish in fast water.
Up to now this Combination
could only be had in two rods.
This new Magnum seems to be
the answer. So far it is only
made in one piece but Jenks
told me that rods would be
available in two pieces (the fer
rule will not be in the middle
in order not to kill the action)
by the coming steelhead season.
After seeing the samples I feel
that this rod may open a new
vista for the steelheaders in this
area. ,

Chance Strong That
Amateur Could Claim
Masters Gold Prize
By WILLIAM TUCKER
Augusta, Ga. (U.R) A record
field of 102 opened the 21st Mas
ters golf tournament under a hot
sky today and with a chance that
an amateur could win it to ful
fill the dream of Bobby Jones.
Jones, who retired undefeated
as an amateur king after win
ning the big four of world tour
naments in 1930, founded the
Masters tournament shortly
thereafter.
No amateur has won a big one
since then, save Johnny Good
man's victory in the 1933 U.S.
Open. But in the Masters, they
have come close twice in the last
three years and today the name
on the tip of almost everyone's
tongue was Harvie Ward."
Ward has proved his consist
ency by winning the U. S. ama
teur the last two years, the first
repeater in that unpredictable
event since Lawson Little in
1934-35. He also has had 69s
the last two days in practice on
the Augusta National Course.
These performances caused
the experts to evaluate the Mas
ters a possibility for an amateur
coup. They also remember that

Ken Venturi a year ago had it
