'Shocking' Charged hi Repor New York W The American ' Medical association has ordered ' an investigation into the "shock- ing" use of stimulants by ama teur and professional athletes. Charges of "indiscriminate" use of stimulants by athletes, in cluding school children, were made before the AMA's lOfith Sinual meeting Wednesday by Dr. Herbert Berger. Eerger, chairman of the New York State Medical society's committee on narcotics and al cohol eddiction, told the AMA "ire r'cent rash of four-minute nil it no coincidence."

They were among six Yankees fined a total of $5500 as a result of a nightclub brawl over two weeks ago. Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL Although there has been a de cline in the local stream fish ing (this does not Include the upper Rogue where the fisning has been generally fair) there has been an upsurge in lake fish ing. Most of the thousands of ang lers who thronged the major fishing spots over the long, Mem orial Day week end caught fish and those who didn't must have enjoyed the marvelous weather. Reports from these places and in dications of what to expect are listed below. Klamath Lake Chuck Roso crans cf Gold Hill fishing out of Harriman's Resort took a 4'j pound rainbow using a Andy Reeker. He was bested by his 8-year old daughter Susan, how ever, who beat papa with one which weighed 5Vs pounds. Mrs. Jim Morgan of Grants Pass fish ing the same area with fender and worm landed a 4'j pound fish. There were many fish m the 4 pound class caught and t .1. t;.i i, ,u fishing had picked up to a brisk good. Trolling from Hansen's Agency lake there were many limits caught with fish running from 3 to 9 pounds. Lake of the Woods Fishing is reported as pretty fair with fender and worms and F4 light orange flatfish. This should con tinue. Fish Lake : With a tremend ous crowd on the lake over the last week end limits were com mon with fish running on the average of from 7 to 9 inches. There wers a number of large fish tken, however. Most of thes wers in the 12-20 inch 0 class. M. C. Hyde of Ashland boated beautiful rainbow 28 inches long and probably weigh ing in the neighborhood of 10 lbs.

Use of be condemned as dangerous to our youth." Investigation Ordered The house of delegates, the association's top policy-making body, then went a step further and ordered an investigation. The resolution singled out am phetamine as an undesirable stimulant used by athletes. Amphetamine is used as an inhalant or spray for head colds, hay fever and other complaints, but can also be taken in pill form. It is sold under a variety of trade names including Benze drine, Phendrine, AUodrene, Iso- myn and Dexedrine. Berger said amphetamine is sold in volume second only to aspirin. Manufacturers, he said, turn out six billion pills a year. Leading coaches in the sports world immediately branded Ber ger's charges "ridiculous." They were unanimous in stat ing that to their knowledge ath letes did not use stimulants be- REES a month before. This gave the water a chance to warm. These Kamloops spawn according to the water conditions and this month of clear, warming water started them spawning so they were right in the middle of this phase when the season opened. The warmer water also pro duced the largest bug hatch seen there for some time and this combined to keep the fish so well fed that they are very hard to catch. In approximately two weeks they will be through spawning and the fishing should pick up to expectations at that time Some nice catches have been taken on flies in the middle of the lake using a Golden Demon with plenty of orange on it. Gold Beach Johnny 'Wolf of Johnny's Tackle shop says that he doesn't know what to say about the salmon fishing except that it is v e r y unpredictable. There are a few fish being taken uul 11 '? uu-.se nf- one wishing to take a long ing to take a long chance might catch one. Brookings Hewitt's Anchor age reports that there is a ter rific run of salmon about 2'i miles offshore and about 100 commercial boats are taking about 100 fish per day each. Several sportmen is small craft have been having good luck. One silverside has been caught in the Chetco river. Trout fishing is only fair but the perch fishing in the mouth is excellent. The calm ocean for the past week has made the bottom fishing very good. Four Mile Lake Here is the new one. Sid Blood reports that the road in to Four mile is open and the fishing is tops. This lake is stocked with rainbow, eastern brook and Kootenay trout. These Kottenay, commonly called blue packs, are a land-locked sockeye rugs by Athletes to AIViA Delegates fore participating events. in sports By UNITED PRESS Oregon coaches today gener ally scoffed at reports by the American Medical association that amphetamine "pep-up" pills were widely used by American athletes at the risk of their health. Track Coach Bill Bowerman at the University of Oregon said the report was "the most ridic ulous thing I've ever heard of." Bowerman said the achieve ment of the four-minute mile by modern-day athletes had no re lation to drugs. He listed three reasons: Track men run faster because of "better training methods and better Iquipmeiit such as shoes and tracks and because as athletes j they are better." Also, he said, j trackmen train longer nowa days. Coach Tommy Prothro at Ore gon State college said "I've never been any place where they used stimulants in football. At Oregon State we give our players Coca Cola." Prothro commented, "It's hard to under stand how a medical authority could sit down and see what somebody's doing on television." Paul Durham of Linfield said "we don't even believe in dead ening the joints of injured ath letes so they can play." And Dr. Paul Stagg of Pacific university said most coaches give their players oranges and chocolate bars for quick energy. "If this thing starts," he said, "they'll have to have some pro tection. They give horses a sa liva test." Lemley Leads Drivers; Races Wayne Lemley, jockey of A- 57, will be out to protect his point leadership Saturday night when the hardtop autos roll in the third performance of sea son at Valley View speedway near Ashland. Lemley has piled up 64 point ers in his first two week ends of racing in the Rogue Valley Racing association con tention. His nearest challenger is Bud Cook who drives K-4. Cook has 53 and is followed by Bob Rose's 52 for his M-45. Crock Hunter with his 15-X is in the thick of rivalry with 51 and thereby running strong in the effort to defend the champ ionship to claimed last season. Bob McGilvray in C-50 has 46 and Art Pollard in R-87 has 40. Two drivers with 38 points are Ted Sletten in M-21 and Jim Standley with R-22 while Bob Wilcox has gained 36 with M-3. Lou Kurz has 31 for M-7 and John Jones in M-5 and Ray Ash er in C-l each 29. Regular Program A standard program of time trials, two trophy dashes, four heat races, a semi-main race and a main event are scheduled Sat urday. Drivers from Roseburg will be missing because of a con flicting race but a considerable delegation from Klamath Falls and northern California is ex pected to battle it out again with drivers from Medford and Ash land areas. Time trials are planned for 7 p.m. and the first trophy sprint at 8 p.m. Work this week to improve the track has been reported by Manager Phil Bryant. There has been three days hauling of clay to surface the oval and. The clay is being spread, graded and rolled to have the track ready for the week end pounding by spinning tires. To Discuss Start Method A meeting has been called for Friday at the track to talk over the order of cars for starting in the main and semi-main. In the two race program so far this season a coin flip has decided whether the fast-time cars would be in the lead for the green flag signal or whether the start Baseballer Dies Of Heart Attack East Chicago, Ind. IW A high school boy dropped dead of a heart attack moments after crossing home plate to become the second youth to die on the baseball diamond in the Illinois Indiana area in as many days. The victims, both 15, were avid baseball fans. Harold L. Hedinger apparently suffered a heart attack as he crossed home plate in a gym class softball game at Washing ton High school here Wednesday. A Vandalia. 111., boy. Tommy Greer, was killed Tuesday when he and another youth collided chasing a pop fly in a Pony league game at Vandalia. Linfield Player Signed by Salem Saiem 'IP) Manager Bill Brenner of the Salem Senators said today the Northwest league team had signed Don Schaefer, 21. a right-handed pitcher of Lin field College. Schaefer, a native of Lebanon, wiil join the Senators after graduation. He will become base ball coach at Reedsport high school next year. ND Pitching Laurels Go To Van Horn Seattle W Washington State College right-hander George Van Horn took up pitching honors for the 1957 Northern division baseball race, according to sta tistics released today. Although working for a last place club, the Cougar mounds man notched a perfect 4-0 rec ord. Three other hurlers, Wash ington's George Kritsonis and Daryl Burke, and Oregon's Rol lie Heath wound up with 2-0 records. A junior. Van Horn won four of the five games WSC played in this spring for an earned run average of 2.70. Randall KO King Strikeout king was Idaho's Doug Randall, who won only one of six starts although he fin ished all six games and allowed a combined batting average of .185. He fanned 46 men, well ahead of Oregon's Stan Dmo chowsky with 32. League workhorse turned out to be Oregons State's Sylvester Johnson, who appeared in seven games and pitched 60 innings. WSC's Bruce Boldt faced the most batters, 240, in working 59 13 innings. Burke, Husky sophomore, gave up the most walks- 25, and Vandal rookie Hinchley hit the most batters, six. Hardtop Saturday would be inverted with the hard tops timing in slowest getting the front positions. Echoes from the crowd last week end indicated spectator dis proval of fast cars getting the advantage of opening in front. The matter of chance through coin flip did not appear popular. It is probable that some sort of handicapping system will be proposed. Driver points in the weekly races are determined by time trials, trophy dash performance and the positions in which cars finish in the main and semi-main. Mrs. Hagge Leads Field Pittsburgh W Defend ing champion Marlene Bauser Hagge, who fired a 72 in prac tice, leads a field of 26 top wom en golfers today in the first round of the 72-hole Ladies' PGA tournament.

Kantor, president of the In dustrial television Co., said he had sent telegrams to Horace Stoneham, president of the Giants, and Walter O'Malley, president of the Dodgers, last Monday. Since they had not acknowledged receipt of the tele grams, Kantor said he was mak ing the offer public.

Under Kantor's proposal, each club would receive $2,500,000 for the same deal. Kantor said that he was interested in making the same offer to the New York Yankees for rights to their games.

Thursday, June 6, 1957 VAD Records 3-1 Win Over GP Semi-Pros Ricker Field, Camp White Two pitching rivals of the re cent high school baseball season were mound opponents again last night and their efforts help ed produce a real crowd pleaser at Camp White tripped the Grants Pass Merchants 3 to 1 in a non-loop semi-pro encounter here. Grants Pass, reported short on pitching talent, came up with a logical answer to the problem with Jim Smith, who hurled the Climate city prepsters to the Southern Oregon conference dia dem. The Veterans Administra tion d o m i c i 1 a ry aggregation countered with Fred Herrmann, twirler for Crater high, which was runner-up to GP in the prep circuit. Smith limited the VAD to a scant two hits in a'losing cause. But the Whiters managed to make full use of both the bin gles, combining them with a cou ple of bases on balls, two groundouts and an error for their scores. Herrmann Fans 15 Herrmann yielded six hits but whiffed a total of 15 batters and issued fewer free passes to the bases than Smith. The ex Crater thrower gave up only two walks and hit one batter. Smith, who had five strikeouts, walked five Camp Whiters and hit two with pitches. Ted Landers, still with the VAD club, although due to enter military service this week end, led off the Camp White first in ning batting turn with a Texas league stafety to left field. His brother, Ned Landers, drew a base on balls The twins advanc ed to second and third bases on a passed ball and Richie Price got on board first base on an er ror. Dick Wooton then ground out but the rap scored Ted Lan ders. That was all the run-making until the eighth inning. In that canto Don Sanford was safe at first base on an error. Price was walked then Dick Wooton drove in his second run of the evening with a sharp liner to left pas ture. Dick Smith forced out Price at third with a grounder and, when the Merchants tried to get Smith for a double out. Wooton romped to third base. Wooton then tallied on Charles Rettman's groundout. Herrmann gave up no more than one hit an inning until the ninth. In that frame Jay Reese of GP popped a fly safely into right field. He went to second base on a wild pitch. Mel Friend brought Reese across the plate with blistering grounder single to centerfield, went to sec ond base on the throw in and At your favorite store m 1 2 in your favorite colors!

Three Straight Strikeouts Don Jacobson drew a base on balls to put the possible tying run on base with no outs. But Herrmann struck out Les Shaw, Ken Merrill and Greg Stewart to pull out of a tight spot and ! end the game. Friend was the only player with more than one hit with i two singles in four times up. i c Some good defensive work by the VAD was combined with Herrmann's chucking to stem GP offensive threats. A Mer chant runner was caught swip ing to erase any damage from one hit and a double play wiped out the challenge of another safety. Camp White has now won three non-league contests with Rogue Valley loop foes. The VAD will be host to Glendale Saturday evening in its circuit opener. Grants Pass will go to Butte Falls on Sunday afternoon when the Medford Studs are slated to play at Cave Junction. Talent has a loop bye.
