Medford Crater Vie for 2nd
Place in SO Circuit Baseball
Ijone grip on second place in
the Southern Oregon conference
baseball sandings will be the
prize Friday when the Medford
and Crater high teams collide.
A doubleheader is scheduled
on the Medford diamond with
the seven-inning first game at
2:d0 p.m. Second game will be
five innings. The opener will
count in the league standings.
Crater and Medford currently
are knotted for second. Each has
a is-3 record.
Dick McLaughlin is the prob
able starting hurler for Medford
a.id Fred Herrmann may re
ceive the assignment for the
Comets. Dennis Barr may get
the call for Medford in the sec
ond game with Wayne Allen the
likely tosser for Crater.
At GP Saturday
Medford also will have a non-
le?sue game Saturday afternoon
at Grants Pass. Ernie Tyler is ex
pected to go to the hill in that
tussle unless Coach John Ko
venz calls on him to relieve in
the Crater counting fracas.
Mentor Bill Piche said that
the Comets' final conference ac
tion will be on Tuesday at Cen
tral Point when Crater meets
Ashland in a twin-bill. Play has
been moved ahead from Friday
May 24. Medford has a May 24
date with Grants Pass.
Tomorrow's slate -, also will
have Klamath Falls at Ashland
for two conflicts.
Neither Crater nor Medford
is in the running for the league
championship since Grants Pass
already has clinched the title.
But there is still considerable
prestige attached to second spot
and the doublebill has a flavor
much like a cross-town rivalry.
Medford after a slow start has
risen from the cellear into con
tention the knot for second.
Crater has not been below sec
ond in the standings.
Medford High school track
and field men had the best
marks in six events and knotted
for the top performance in an
other in last week end's Class
A-l district meets.
Wally Larson's :14.6 in the
high hurdles and :19.3 in the
high's for the Tornado compares
to the second bests of :15.1 by
Don Milligan of Jefferson of
Portland and :20.3 of Stuart Fors
of Lake Oswego. The :50.3 by
Medford's Mike Russell in the
quarter-mile exceeds the :51.7
by Stan Miller of Jefferson and
LeRoy Poindexter of Eugene.
The sensational time of 1:29.7
by Medford's half-mile relay
team, Lorin Christean, Russell,
Pete Kershaw and Larson, was
well ahead of the No. 2 effort by
Jefferson of Portland, 1:32.2.
Neil Plumley's 57-foot 1114 inch
shot put for Medford was fol
lowed by the 54-8 by Dick Brown
of Grant of Portland.
In the broad jump the 22-3
leap by Jerry Close of Medford
was tops by just a shade. Dan
Moore, South Salem leaped 22
2Va. Christean and Jon Abra
ham of Grant each were clocked
in :22.3 in the 220-yard dash.
PAQUIN. LEWMAN SHARE
Phil Paquin and Stan Low
man. Grants Pass polo vault
ers, wero the only Southern
Oregonians with a lop mark
in tho A-l district tests. They
shared 12-4 with Bob Hol
itrom of Eugene. Paquin was
hampered by a pair of bad
ankles and Lewman sprained
his wrist as the two set a now
District 6 record. Colin Morse
of North Salem was next best
last week end with 12 feet.
Best district winning times
included :10 by Bob Minor of
LaGrande and :10.03 by Dot
Speights of Redmond in the
100; Kent Wilcox of Lebanon
and Dyrol Burleson of Cottage
Grove 2:00.2 in the 880; and
Burleson 4:25.3 and Ralph
Strait of Lincoln 4:26.1 in tho
mile. j .
Among field event bests in
districts were 191-11 by' Hardy
Spurgeon of Marshfield and
189-5V4 by Lary Smith of Cra
ter in the javelin; 162 feet by
Don Martin of Cottage Grove
and 153-7 by Jerry Stubble
field of Tshland in the discus;
and 6 feet by John Hunter of
Corvallis and 5-11 by Fred
Thomas of Grants Pass in the
high jump.
It must be taken into ac
count that the second best
marks in some districts may
have been better than the No.
1 performances in others. In
formation on second bests out
side of District 6 is not avail
able. FIVE POSSIBLE RECORDS
This department sees the high
and low hurdles, the shot put,
the 880-relay and the pole vault
as the records threatened most
in the A-l prep ruckus at Cor
vallis. Larson's top times of :14.1
and :19.1 for Medford in the
hurdles compare to the state
records of :14.4 and :19-3. Neil
Plumley's exhibition shot put
last Saturday of 60-2 gave the
Medfordite a distance of just
over two feet better than the
58-2U state standard. The Med
ford relay time of 1:29.7 is well

TORNADO TWIRLEH Ernie
Tyler, above, is the probable
pitcher for Medford Saturday
when the Black Tornado plays
at Grants Pass high. The Tor
nado entertains Crater Friday
for a double bill and there is the
chance that Tyler could be used
for relief in the Southern Ore
gon conference counting first
game.

under the 1:31.2 Oregon all-time
state meet mark and the Tornado
foursome has bettered 1:31.2 on
two other occasions. Paquin has
vaulted 13-3 for GP compared to
the record of 13-1.
COULD BE MILE MARK
Some prognosticaiors feel
that a mile duel between
Burleson and Strait may shat
ter the 4:24 record. Each has
been -close but neither'1 has
bettered the record in com
petition. FASTER TIME
Dave Roberts, Oregon Journal
prep writer, lists :22.3, a time
equalled by Christean and Ab
raham last week end, as the state
2J0 mark. We have a listing on
file which gives :21.8 by Reg
Brady of Washington of Port
land in 1933 as the standard.
REINKING DOES WELL
Ed Reinking, Medford high
grad of 1957. is doing right
well as a Rook baseball player
at Oregon State college. That's
indicated from the school's
newspaper, the barometer.
Reinking is a regular outfield
er on the team and his .357
batting average is third best
on the squad. Gene Bates, .450
and Ray Lunde, .400, rank
ahead of him. The Medfordita
also saw service with the Rook
quint in basketball. He's on a
baseball scholarship at OSC
and is a B average scholar.
Rumors are heard that Terry
Maddox may sign a professional
baseball contract if a good offer
comes along after the collegiate
season and if the military service
doesn't claim him. Maddox, ex
Medford high, has been a star
for Universitv of Oregon for
three seasons, gaining Northern
division all-star laurels in both
1955 and 1956. .
BOXING PLANS DEVELOP
Plans are beginning to devel
op for Medford's next profes
sional boxing card. It will be
an outdoor affair at Medford
hieh school stadium- the last

fourth round TKO on the Ma
6 card at Hedrick junior high
gym.

Angels Came Clos
Los Angeles looked like a
winner on the relief pitching of
Glenn Mickens until the eighth.
The game was a see-saw battle
until the Angels took a two-run
lead in the fourth. .
Mickens held the lead neatly
until the eighth when the roof
fell in.
Bob Thollander, who came to
the relief of starter Duane Pil

while Mickens suffered the loss.
Bob Jenkins clouted a. long
home run for. the Angels with
Jim Baxes on base.
Garber needed to be as tough
as he was to down the Rainiers.
Lou Kretlow opposed him on the

he worked.
Bill Causion and Paul Pettit

posting the victory. ,

Werle kept the Solons away
from the plate by doling out
only four singles and walking
none. It was ,Werle's fifth win

MEDFORD (OREGON)
(Hunting and FSshong
Southern Oregon
By MEL REES
Fishing has slowed down to a
walk after the initial opening
rush Most of the small streams
have had their day and are very
slow new. The low, clear water
which ms characterized this sea
son to date has no doubt put
many more fish than usual in the
old frying pan but it has also
(as predicted) shortened the
good fishing time. Here is the
way it stacks up for this week
end.
Applegate Very poor un
less you wish to dunk a -few
worms or eggs in the deep holes
or smalt pockets along the
edge A limit of fish ranging
from 6-10 inches can be taken
this way. Fly fishing is very
poor. There used to be excellent
dry and wet fly fishing on the
Applegate all during the sum
mer until the flood of a year
ago but since that time the old
time experts say that the river
has so changed that it is a thing
of the past. It is hoped that this
situation may be improved. -
Rogue Trout fishing is strict
ly in the pan-fish class with
everything from hardware to
flies doing the business. The
salmon fishing is still on the
slow side but there are some
nice fish being taken. Best spot?
Galice to Grants Pass take
your pick.
Willow Creek Reservoir
Slow fishing here but limits can
be taken either by trolling a
fender and worms deep or still
fishing with the lightest tackle
you can buy, the smallest hooks
you can - find and some really
soft salmon eggs. -
Fish Lak Some of the vet
eran anglers here seem to be
able to limit with fenders and
worms down deep but most of
the fishing has slowed some
what. A change in the moon
phase which occurs around the
first of the month should bring
a pick up here. -
Klamath Lake Harriman's
Lodge at Rocky Point passes out
the information that the fishing
has been pretty good with fen
ders ana worms and Andy Reek
er No. 4 or 4 in halfnhalf . Some
fish in the 6-8 pound class have
been landed and many smaller
ones.
Gold Beach Johnny's Tackle
shop reports that the river is
full of salmon but there arent
too many fishermen and not too
many fish are being taken. Best
day was 127 with a , last week
day of 100 fish. Most days only
about 30 fish are being netted.
The season so far is slower than
last year but could improve as
Johnny says, "Any hour now!"
' Umpqua ; J. C. Sporting
Goods in Roseburg phones that
the trout fishing which was ter
rific for the opener has slowed
somewhat but is still good. The
salmon 'ike the rest of the area
PILOTS WIN .
Portland (TO University of
Portland handed Oregon Col
lege, champion of the Oregon
Intercollegiate Conference, a 9-2
baseball defeat here Wednesday.
MAIL TRIBtTNE THIRTEEN
Is behind last year and not too
many fish are being taken. They
seem to think that there will be
a fine run later this season and
recall that when the season
used to c'ose earlier than it does
now the best runs came in aft
er the closure. If this repeats,
there could be some great ang
ling in this river yet. ,
Brookings and Crescent City
Outside salmon fishing hasn't
got going yet but the bottom
fishing is great. Charter boate
are having good success.
Boat Bill Rapped
Almost a new low in legisla
tive stupidity has been proposed
on the Oregon sportsmen by the
tax committee's House Bill 603
which would have, and may still,,
license all boats at $5 per copy.
This bill originally called for
a $5 license for all boats under
16 feet with an additional $1
per foot over that length, but
this provision -was struck out
before the bill was passed along
to the Senate.
If this becomes a law, the
owner of a $50,000 cruiser
would pay the same license fee
as a small boy who made a boat
out of boaVds the neighbor gave
him. Fellows who have two or
three boats would find them
selves owners of "white ele
phants" which would cost them
regardless if they used them or
not.
A measure of this sort would
not only work a hardship on
many sportsmen but would seri
ously affect the boat industry
in this section.
Every boat owner in the state
should certainly contact his rep
resentative in order to squash
this most discriminativa mea
sure. -
