Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL With the opening day of trout season within easy casting dis tance, the anglers are really coming out of hibernation. The repair departments of the many fishing emporiums in the valley are being deluged' with rods that need everything from a tip-top to a new one to reels that screech in protest after the long winter. Weather-wise and road-wise the prospects are pretty good for opening day but of course these can change in a matter of hours. Best lake bets for the opening should be willow Creek leservoir, Fish lake, and Squaw lake. Advance information on these spots indicate tki the fishing should be goodith Ford fen ders and worms heading the list of best baits. Single eggs and worms "dunked" will also take their toll. SHOULD PRODUCE WELL Th waters in all streams in lha area ara in excellent con dition and should produce well. Small flash baits with light spinning gear should - produce this year as they have in past seasons. It may not be generally known but the little Spin 'n' Glo which was so deadly for steelhead last season is also an excellent trout getter. Sev eral sportsmen started using these in size 12 and 14 about three years ago for trout and consider them standard equipment now. They can be fished like a lure casting Bob Grim's Relieving Helps Yanks By JOHN GRIFFIN United Press Sports Writer New York (U.R) Casey Stengel insists his world champ ion Yankees "haven't had an easy game this season," but Bob Grim's stout relief pitching is doing a lot to make the tough ones easy. "Grim is pitchin' real good right now," said Stengel in the wake of the Yankees' 3-2 vic tory over the Baltimore Orioles Wednesday that saw Grim get the victory in relief. "He's about as good right now as he ever was."- - r '- That's saying a huge mouth ful, even for the glib Stengel, for Grim's best form is mighty good, indeed it produced a 20-8 record in his rookie season of 1954. The ex-Marine son of a Brook lyn bartender had a lot of trou ble "serving 'em up" in 1955 be cause of elbow trouble and still was only fighting back from that ailment last season. Sharp at End of '56 "He was sharp right near the end of last season, looking just about the way he does now," said Stengel. "I wanted to work him into a starting spot in the World Series, but I had four guyg who were pitching com plete games for me and I had to use them." Grim's win over the Orioles, which he gained by allowing just one hit during the last two innings, was his second of the season. He's lost one, too, but as Stengel is quick to point out, a misplayed fly ball was his down fall in that one against the Red Sox last Sunday. "Only clean hit off him in that game was a ground ball that just got through the infield," grumbled Casey. "He shouldda won that one, too. "He's got a real good curve, and a good slider, and he ketfps 'em low," Stengel pointed out. "That's tough." He means it's tough on the rest of the American league. It . figures to get a lot tougher if " 1954's "Rookie of the Year" turns into 1957's Joe Page. WAITING for YOU IN OUR SHOW ROOM GOLDEN ROCKET 88 FIESTA . . .

Riverside Phone 2-6209 REES and retrieving but probab ly the best productive method for large trout is to drift them along the bottom the same as fishing for steelhead. SALMON SLOW Salmon fishing is about the same as it usually is these days on the slow side. True, there have been several nice fish tak en but if this number were di vided by the man-hours spent in fishing for them the result would be back in the decimals somewhere. Still, it's fun to get out there on the river these nice Spring days and relax whether we catch any fish or not. COULD SPOIL FUN Due to the fact that Ameri ca has taken to boats, there has been an increase in boat ing accidents. Naturally, when there are accidents there are headlines, with the headlines come cries of do something to stop them, when this crystal izes there are registrations, re strictions, and enforcement. All this adds up to a loss of freedom and liberty in our va cations which spoils the fun of it. Actually a study is being made, nationally, to ascertain if all boats should be register ed. This would bring , safety load restrictions, size of motor restrictions, type of water to be used restrictions and a host of others. POLICE OURSELVES We, the boaters, can do some thing about this before it hap pens don't write your congress man just use common sense!!! Overloading, boating in waters too rough for the size of the boat and trying to use a 30 horse motor on a chip are things we can do something about. Let's do something to police ourselves before things get so bad someone else will police us and maybe have traffic lights yet! Sugar Ray, Gene Start Last Week Of Preparations Chicago (U.R) Middleweight champion Gene Fullmer and Sugar Ray Robinson, who lost to Fullmer, today opened their final week of training for their May 1 title re-match at the Chi cago Stadium. Both fighters underwent phys ical checkups by doctors of the Illinois Athletic Commission V'ednesday and were declared in good condition for the cham pionship fight. Fullmer relaxed after the medical checkup, but Robinson resumed his training, sparring a few rounds. Fullmer was ex pected to finish his sparring Sat urday. Both fighters are near the 160 pound weight limit for the bat tle. Fullmer scales 157 pounds, but Robinson must lose 2Vt pounds to get down to the limit. Harold Gomes Looks Good in Ring Triumph Providence, R. I. (U.R) Har old Gomes, 'the New England featherweight champion, was mighty pleased today with his knockout victory over Bobby Rogers of Chicago in his first nationally-televised fight. "I wanted to win and I want ed to look good," the popular Providence scrapper said after dropping Rogers for the full count at 1:54 of the ninth round Wednesday night before 1,363 hometown fans. . Gomes certainly looked good in scoring two early knock downs and then, after catching a mid-fight breather, he came back in the next-to-last round to put Rogers away for good with a countering right hand punch to the jaw.

Crater Tussles Pels In SO Loop Central Point Crater high and Klamath Falls, each fighting to stay in the running for South ern Oregon conference laurels, collide here Friday afternoon in a baseball doublebill. Two seven inning contests are slated with the first set for 1:30 pjn. Since earlier action billed for the Klamath diamond was rained out, both games will count in the league standings. The Comets and Klamath are now tied for second place in the circuit. Each has a win and a loss. A double win for either would strengthen it tremendously in the bid for loop and district hon ors. A double loss for either will virtually eliminate it from the chase. A series split would hurt the cause of both teams but not disastrously. Fred Herrmann and Wayne Allen probably will handle the pitching for Crater and Darryl Rusth and Mickey Carney for Promising Outlook For Good Catches on Trout Season Opening Portland (U.R) Oregon sports fishermen were greeted today with a promising outlook for good catches when the 1957 trout fishing season- opens Sat urday in streams and lakes around the state. The state game commission issued a general summary of fishing conditions for the open ing week end while, at the same time, cautioning that high lakes ..id reservoirs within national forest boundaries in ' the Cas cades do not open until May 25. That includes East and Paulina lakes. There are a few exceptions, and the following lakes will be open to fishermen Saturday: De troit reservoir, Lookout Point reservoir, Harriet lake, Fish lake in Zone 2, Umpqua reservoir in Zone 3, Fish lake, Squaw lake and Willow creek reservoir in Zone 4; Blue lake, Suttle lake, Crescent lake, Odel lake, Wick iup reservoir, Rock Creek reser voir and Lake of the Woods. Larger streams in eastern Ore gon are expected to be some what swollen and murky and best results are predicted in smaller streams and creeks. Best outlooks in central Ore gon are in the upper Deschutes, Wickiup reservoir, Suttle and Odell lakes, and the Metolius. Suttle lake should be good for early kokanee angling and rain bows. Hood river should be good, providing the water conditions are right. Willamette valley streams will be in "fair" shape, according to commission experts. The Willam ette river from Eugene to Har- Walker Inman Heads Derby Golf Louisville, Ky.

Bill Casper Jr., Bonita, Calif., was one shot behind Inman at 68. , . - Bunched in a three-way tie behind the two were Peter Thomson, 28-year-old Aussie; Bobby Maxwell, of Abilene, Tex., and veteran Jack Fleck, of Rochester, Mich., at 69. . Julio Mederos Gains Decision Portland U.R) Julio Me deros, Havana, Cuba, Wednesday night won a unanimous 10-round decision over Benny Thomas, Chicago, 111. The 199-pound Cuban stalked Thomas throughout and relied upon a heavy barrage of blows to the body to build up his lead. In the . preliminaries, Sonny Ray of Chicago took a TKO over Sonny Hett of Salem in the third' round. Tommy Thomas of Portland decisioned Buddy McDonald of Vancouver, B. C, and Kel Wayne of Vancouver, Wash., decisioned Freddy Mack of Seattle, Wash. Baseball the the Pelicans. Coach Bill Piche of the Comets hadn't de termined today the order in which he'll call upon his hurlers. Crater Line-up For Crater the line-up will be Randy Campbell, catcher; Neil Green or Paul Beach, first base; Thurman Striplin, second base; Stan Green or Allen, shortstop; Bob Fowler, third base, and among Eddie Koch, Dick Rainey, Dave Brown, Charles South and Dave Morris, outfielders. Piche reported his club "rarin' to go" despite a double loss to Medford last week end. One of the games with the Tornado counted in loop stand ings and the other was Kings-x. Crater has won a league game with Ashland and beaten the Grizzlies in a nonrleaguer. Klam ath in league games beat Med ford and lost to Grants Pass. In the kings-x play the Pels beat GP and lost to Medford. risburg should be a good bet for lunker cutthroats, some going 20 inches or better. Southwest Excellent North coast streams were re ported all in good condition, in cluding the smaller tributary streams. Southwest Oregon streams will be in excellent condition even though logging operations stir up some mud on the Umpqua and Rogue tributaries. That, how ever, was not expected to be bad enough to hinder trout and sal mon angling. The commission said the Chet co looks like a good early hot spot with good prospects in the Smith, Elk, and Millicoma riv ers. Best coastal lakes were Mercer, Sutton, Siltcoos, Tah kenitch, and Devils lake where the rainbows are running to 13 inches. NORTHWEST: Several streams re cenUy stocked including Necanicum Big creek. Beaver creek. Clatskanie river. Rock creek, Tillamook area streams; Portland area angling should be good; salmon angling has picked up in Willamette; central Willamette valley streams should be in good shape; Detroit reservoir prospects good; new run of steelhead has en tered the Santiam; Eugene area res ervoirs stocked; McKenzie area stream conditions good. . SOUTHWEST: Lower north fork and upper main Umpquas low and quite clear but salmon scarce; most streams in fair to good condition for trout; Smith river in good shape; prospects good for lakes and streams in lower Umpqua area; south fork Coos river and tributaries and Wil liams river should be fair to good; ear fork of Coquille river should be good; middle fork muddy. Rogue watershed streams in excel lent shape; fly fishing in riffle area of Rogue should be excellent; major tributaries should be almost as good as the Rogue; Fish lake road out of Butte Falls in good shape; Lake of the Woods open and accessible from Klamath side. CENTRAL: Road into Blue lake closed Suttle lake roads open; roads open into Wickiup reservoir; Des chutes river level below Bend is low and in good condition; Warm Springs area of Deschutes in good shape for bait; roads into Odell and Crescent lake resorts open; road into Devils lake in Klamath county poor, NORTHEAST: Trout prospects fair in Pendleton area with Walla Walla, upper Umatilla and north fork of John Day best prospects; McKay res ervoir muddy tributaries in Wallowa county in good condition; Wallowa lake should be good; Imnaha river high but fairly clear: upper Grande Ronde and upper Catherine creek fairly clear; main Grand Ronde muddy; roads good; Unity reservoir in Baker county good prospect; ice breaking up on Magone lake; road conditions in John Day area only fair. SOUTHEAST: Prospects appear fair to good; Malheur reservoir should be good barring unforseen storms; Blitzen river and tributaries in Harney county high and roily and expected to be poor; Delintment lake open but trout probably lost by win ter kill; Warm Springs reservoir should be fair for trout; Silvies river high; Ana reservoir has not been stocked and probably will be poor. gel it faster. . . for less ... with a BUTLER steel building You can get floor space fast, for factory, warehouse) ' or store, with a Butler steel building!

Thursday, April 25. 1957 PERFECT HEAVE BY MADDOX PRESERVES DUCK VICTORY Eugene (U.R) Oregon's Ducks were in first place in the Northern division baseball race today thanks to a perfect throw from left field by Terry Maddox with two out in the ninth which preserved a 5-4 victory over Washington State's defending champs. Maddox rifled his throw to catcher Ellis Olson who tagged Seals Tip Mounties To Tie For Lead in Coast League; Beavers Drop By DON THACKERY United Press Sports Writer Everyone in the Pacific Coast' league looked down on the Vancouver Mounties . and the San Francisco Seals when the season started but today those two clubs are in position to return the favor. San Francisco beat Vancouv er 5-4 Wednesday and left the two tied for top spot in the loop overlooking the rest of the field by at least a game. Seattle kept right in there by waxing San Diego 4-1 with three ninth-inning runs and Los An geles got a 4-2 decision from Sacramento to make the first division shaky. Hollywood had to go 10 in nings to beat Portland 4-3. Duane Pillette and Babe Bir rer battled each other in San Francisco in a game that the early odds makers would have thought unimportant. But when Pillette came out the winner it made the league lead a tie. Both teams hit well enough to give shudders to the rest of the loop and Len Green and Rufe Craw ford blasted pitches out of Seals Stadium. Exclusive Group At the end of the game, how ever Pillete joined teammate Harry Dorish with a 3-0 record an exclusive group in the loop to date. Paul Pettit singled home a run in the bottom of the tenth to give Hollywood a win over hapless Portland. The loss went to Bob Anderson, his third against no wins. Anderson, the premier relief pitcher in the loop with 'Los Angeles last sea son, was the second of three Portland hurlers. George O'Donnell, who was the big hero for the league two years ago, got the win. Seattle got three singles and a walk in the top of the ninth inning to dump San Diego and keep a hold on third place. The win went to Lou Kretlow de spite the fact that the Rainiers Blues Beat Reds In Team Shoot Annual battle of the Reds and Blues captained by Lew Conger and Jim Bolton ended disaster ously for the Reds who were 84 points behind and will have to serve the Blues next Tuesday night in the banquet ending the winter season for local rifle shooters.

A turkey and ham din ner, to which club members and their families are invited, will be at 7 p.m. In crow shooting this week, Margaret Taylor was first with 42 crows, Lew Conger ?econd ith 22 and Dick Schauble third with 17.

Ron Dodge delivered the big blow for Oregon, a three-run homer over the right field fence in the third inning. The win gives Oregon a 2-1 conference record while WSC is last with a 2-3 mark. Oregon State, Idaho and Washington all are even-steven. Another, 4-3 got only six hits to eight for San Diego and Hank Aguirre. Los Angeles and Sacramento played footsies with the base ball and the Angels came out the best. The first two Angel runs were unearned and one of their other two was not counted against the pitching as each team contribu ted three errors. Sacramento got one legitimate run and another came home on three boots and a balk.
