A number of players from Glide high's state A-2 runner up club are on the Roseburg roster along with players from Douglas, Camas Valley and Rose burg highs.

A num ber of the players such as Bill Eswine, Moose Kennaday, Larry Bissonette, Ron Beamer and Allen Smith are back from the Roseburg Lockwood Motors club which was third in the nation in 1956. Roseburg will come here witn almost twice as many games be hind it as the Medford club The Douglas county team as of last Saturday night had a record of six victories and had dropped only one game 4 to 3 to Spring field. It holds three wins over Roseburg with Eswine tossing no-hit, no-run ball in one of the contests. Medford has won its four games. Hefty Swatters The Glide stalwarts on the Umpqua aggregation are pacing it in hitting. Statistics available through six games showed Es wine batting . 600. Kennaday .429 and John Livingston .364. Bissionette. from Douglas, was slugging at .350 and Beamer and Dick Meredith, both of Rose burg, at .333 each. Coach Bill Harper may chose the Roseburg moundsman from among Eswine, John Livingston and Smith. The latter is from Glide. Byron Baker, from Camas Valley, may be in the catching gear. Rest of the line-up could be Beamer, at first base; Eswine or M. Hatfield at second. Don Wells at third. Bissonette at shortstop and Smith, Kennaday and.Wes Young in the outfied. Medford and Roseburg are in different districts so the Friday action will be non-counting, t will be the first tussle under Mights for Medford players while Roseburg diamonders are vet erans of night play. Game time is 8 p.m. as the Medford club makes its first ap pearance on a local diamond. Izaak Waltonian President Urges Anglers To Concentrate on Trying To Catch Large Fish in Rogue Hank DcVoss. president of the Jackson County chapter of tha Izaak Walton league, Wednes day urged that fisherman use methods and gear aimed at catching the larger fish in the Rogue river, thereby permitting the smaller fish to grow and ma ture for future angling. He had in particular mind the downstream migrating sal mon and steelhead which re turn to the river as big fish aft er years in the ocean. DeVoss, speaking at the noon luncheon of Medford Kiwanians at Rogue Valley Country club, advocated the use of lighter tackle as best means of getting the wary big salmon to strike while they are lying in the deep holes in the river awaiting the spawning period. He indicat ed the opinion that it is not nec essary to use tackle of weight test heavier than the fish. "Let's get the bigger fish out of the river. Let's do it with lighter tackle. Let s have a lot of fun doing it," DeVoss re marked. Need Screens DeVoss. resident of Talent and teacher in the Medford school system, brought up his idea about luring the bigger fish af ter mentioning a recent sug gestion for angling closure on the middle Rogue to enable the small salmon and steelhead to down-migrate to the ocean. He also stated that until the dams ' on the river are screened these Fishing Said Good Above Shady Cove Portland tP The weekly re port on fishing conditions pre pared by the State Game Com sission: Southwest: North Umpqua river good with best catches on flies between Idleyld park and Eagle rock; upper South Ump qua fair to good; few summer steelhead caught in Steamboat area of North Umpqua but angl ing for them slow; Winchester bay fair to good for salmon with about 85 per cent of catch silv ers; upper Rogue good above Shady Cove and good catches made in high Cascade streams ' and lakes.

Southwest: Fishing in region has generally remained good fish don't have a chance. The speaker, pointing to the greater fishing pressure in this area every year and the fewer fish, described the variety of fish which may be caught in the lakes and streams of" this area. He regarded Diamond lake as potentially one of the richest in the whole northwest with its kamloops rainbow trout. Although fishing luck at the lake was poor at the start of the season, there were possiblv 1 million trout in the lake, De Voss stated. He attributed poor catches to the fact that the Kamloops were in their spawn ing period and that the condi tion of the fish was such that anglers would not want them if they did catch them. With ths trout now in the final stages of spawning, he forecast improve ment in the Diamond lake fish ing. DeVoss told of the rainbow, brook and brown trout in Fish lake, rainbow in Lake of the Woods, tin brook trout and Ko kanee in Four Mile lake and th native cutthroat and planted rainbow in Willow Creek reser voir. The Waltonian official spoke of the spring chinook and steel head in the Rogue as "very un common fish" since so few streams in the state have them. Food Provided Discussing the fact that sal mon die after they return to the river and spawn, DeVoss MNX)RDwTRIBUNE Oregon Water Skiing Meet Opens Saturday At Gardener Lake Water skiing is the fastest growing sport in the world to day but is a neglected sport in Oregon. Those two points were brought out by Lon Skinner, Medford. as he spoke to Kiwanians at at Rogue Valley Country club yesterday concerning the forth coming Oregon Water Ski cham pionships at Gardener Lake.

John Kovenz, high school diamond mentor and one of the instructors for the summer ses sion said that enrollment in cludes approximately 40 cubs and intermediates, 90 pee wees and 120 sandblowers.

Boyd Tops Castellan! Chicago tPI Rocky Castel lani had no apology for defeat today because he fought Bobby Boyd for 10 rounds and "put on a good show for the television fans." Boyd, the 8-5 favorite, was hard pressed all the way to win a split decision, and when his arm was raised most of the 1,772 fans booed lustily. Actually Cas tellani had more points credited to him than Boyd. Referee Bernie W e i s s m a n scored it 47-45 for Boyd and Judge Frank Clark had it 47-46 for the winner, the same margin as the United Press card. Judge James McManus gave Castellani a four point bulge, 47-43. SKOWRON OUT New York W New York Yankee first baseman Bill Skow ron, who missed Wednesday's game with the Cleveland Indians because of an injury to his right hand, is expected to be out of the line-up for several days. X-rays of the hand revealed no break, however. Seals Win in 11 Innings; Receive Aid From Portland In Boosting Lead in PCL By DON THACKREY United Pies Sports Writer The San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast league are like an illegal speakeasy they do their best business after hours. The Seals engaged in their ninth extra inning ball game of the 1957 season Wednesday night and won their ninth, beating Los Angeles 6-5 in 11 frames. With an assist from the boys in Sacramento the win raised the Seals' league lead to two full games. Sacramento cooper ated by dumping San Diego 5-3 in 10 frames and Portland knocked off Vancouver 5-4 in regulation time. Only Hollywood stayed pat by beating Seattle 2-L Jack Phillips and the Los Angeles infield were the heroes of the Seal victory. Phillips drove in the winning run in the 11th and the Angel inner de fense cooperated with four er rors that made all the San Fran cisco tallies of the unearned variety. Bilko Again Steve Bilko earned the first Angel run with a home, his 19th. in the second inning after the Seals had scored five tainted counters in the top of the frame. Then Jim Fridley did all that could be asked of a pinch-hitter in the Angel half of the seventh. He hit a grand slam home run. That brought the game down to extra frames and set it up for Leo Kiely to win his 10th in relief as Glen Mickens took the loss. Milo Candini got credit for the Sacramento win both offen sively and defensively. His pitch ing in relief was scoreless and it was his single in the tenth that drove in the two runs that broke a 3-3 tie. Dolan Nichols took the loss. Leafs, Vees Pull Away in Circuit By UNITED PRESS Toronto and Richmond, the two teams expected to fight it out for the International League pennant, are slowly pulling away from the other clubs. The Maple Leafs scored once in the ninth inning to edge Co lumbus. 7-6, Wednesday night while Richmond had an easier time at Montreal, downing the Royals, 8-2. Toronto, by winning, maintained its half-game edge over the Vees while roving 3'i games ahead of third - place Buffalo. Gasoline is the most valuable j petroleum product.
