i O cFanfare Derald Wooton, ex-Medford high and Cheney Studs pitch er, fialcing a comeback thii teason in professional baseball with the Macon Dodgers of , Class A Sally league is now a regular pitching starter for that team. A request made to Sam Classman, sports editor of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph, has brought the information that Woolon has appeared in 15 games and has a 3-3 win-loss record. He has started seven jjmn and finished four of i!Sjq and has been on the mound a total of 64 innings. Last time out. prior to July 10. Vooton defeated sixth place Columbus, Ga.. 5 to 1, allowing but four hits. Other records show Woo ton has allowed 32 runs. 59 hits, 32 bases on balls. Twenty-two of the runs were earn ed against him. His strikeouts totalled 33. MEET SUGGESTED Medford being the high school track capital of Oregon, we sug gest that some enterprising group here sponsor a meet or meets such as are being con ducted in Portland and Eugene this summer. A series of so-called amateur "all comers" track meets are being held at Jefferson High school this summer. The sched ule inclodes competition on July 20, Aug. 3 and 17 and Sept. 1 and 2. The Portland Pacific Northwest Decathlon champion ship meet is billed on the latter two days. An all-comers event was billed for University of Oregon yesterday. Ihe Portland series has an open division for all athletes re gardless of age, a high school division, a junior division for athletes 16 years of age and un der and a girls division open to all feminine competitors. SERVICE C UB PROJECT A meet along the foregoing lines sounds like a good proj ect for a service club here. A junior Olympics competition also is worthy of considera tion. SEEK INTEREST INCREASE Meets at Portland, under di rection of Bill Sorsby, Univer sity of Oregon graduate and Jefferson high cinder mentor, and Doug Basham, U of O grad- VAD Defeats Grants Pass 9-8 in Wild Non-Leaguer Ricker Field, Camp White A routine of "who's on third?," a la Abbottt and Costello, and a rousing .brawl, a la major league, flavored the evening for semi-pro baseball fans in a wild, spirited fracas here Friday. Camp White nosed out the Grants Pass Merchants 9 to 8 in the non-league scrap with Man ager Keith Johnson driving home what proved to be the win ning run in the seventh inning. His single sent Barney Riggs across the plate after the lead in the contest had switched hands three times and after the game had been tied twice. The Abbott and Costello rou tine erupted in the third inning as the Merchants gained one of their two run in the frame. Run ners and the ball flew around sj fast, as play centered mainly around third base, that it was hard to reconstruct what hap pened. But this is about the way things went: After Bonty Bates lined out Greg Stewart safetied and went to second base on a passed ball. Jim Smith followed with another single. That scored Stewart but Smith tumbled rounding first and had to hold up at that base. Bruce Brickell hit a ground ball and both run ners were safe on an error on a potential force play at second base. Brickell Tumbles Pete Proctor then got a hit sending Smith and Brickell to third and second. Brickell dug for third and the Camp Whiters attempted to run him down. Smith eaded for home and, just as Brickell was either missed or barely eluded a tag, throw was made to home plate. Smith scored in the meantime Proctor was on his way to third, too. The Whiters then concentrated on Proctor and he was caught going back to second. Brickell romped toward the plate but stumbled and rolled after cov ering about two thirds of the distance. He was tagged out to end the inning. The brawl occurred in the fourth inning when Bill Sey mour singled for Camp White, went to second base on the throw in and made it to third on Third Sacker Jay Reese's error. Reese tried to hold Seymour off the base and then appeared to hold him from going from it. The two got into a hassle and players from both sides rushed to the hot corner. The Veterans Administration domiciliary nine picked up its first three runs without a hit, one on a hit batter, error, passed ball and Dick Nix's ground out in the first inning and two on three bases on balls and an error in the second. Grants Pass made it 8 to 2 in the wild, third. The game took a more nor mal turn in the top of the fourth. By DICK JEWETT Mail Tribuna Sports Editor uate, are aimed at increasing track interest through the Paci fic northwest, both for specta tors and participants. They have the sanction of the Oregon and Northwest associations of the AAU. Ribbon and medal awards are given at the various meets Trophies will go at the end of the summer to the most valuable athlete in each division. There will be a team championship in the Aug. 17 meet. A small entry fee is charged. No admission charge is being made to spectators, but volun tary contributions are being ac cepted. ' INFO ON FILE So far, this department has heard of no one making sped fic plans to enter one of these recreational meets although we know of at least a couple who would like to. If anyone does intend io enter, the Mail Tribune would like to hear about it. The sports depart ment has received a small file from Portland and the infor mation is available here at the office to those interested. One entry blank is included in the file. CHALLENGE We wonder if at least one aim of the Portland meets is to help the Oregon metropolis overtake Medford in track and field pres tige. If that's so, there's a chal Ienge. WILL ROSEBURG BE BACK Hiring of Brad Ecklund as Roseburg High football coach makes us wonder how soon the Indians will be back on the Medford high school slate. They were pulled off the forthcoming fall's Tornado schedule. We understand it was felt the Indians could not match the caliber of Medford football. When and if football is built up in the Umpqua Valley capital, Roseburg like ly will be back looking for games. If anyone can develop Rose burg football to the desired championship status, Ecklund appears a good man for the job. The ex-University of Ore gon star's teams at Gresham high compiled a record of 29 wins, three losses and one tie. Roseburg has trimmed Med ford only once in 21 gridiron combats (in 1953). Reese and LaVry Cochell singled and Don Jacobson slapped an in-the-park homer to right field for a 5 to 3 bulge. The VAD then came back with four counters in the bottom of the fourth for 7 to 5. Barney Riggs doubled and Nix and Seymour singled. There were two walks, two passed balls, a wild pitch and an error. GP Goes Ahead GP tied up the game in the fifth with two runs on a hit by Reese, a wild pitch third strike which allowed Smith on base, a sacrifice by Brickell, a ground out, a passed ball and one other error. In the sixth Brickell tripled home Smith who had walked for 8 to 7, Grants Pass. The Whiters tied it up in the bottom of the sixth frame on two bases on balls and singles by Seymour and Charles Rettman. In the seventh for VAD Jim Jones hit but was forced out on Riggs' grounder to pitcher. Riggs swiped second, then Johnson doubled him home. Reese dou bled for GP in the ninth with one out but Cochell and Jacob son skied out to end the game. Hurler Fred Herrmann of Camp White was tagged for nine hits. He struck out seven and walked four. Jacobson yielded eight hits and eight bases on balls, whiffing nine. He hit one batter. Reese got three hits in five times up and Seymour hit two for five. Jacobson and Nix each had three runs batted in. Bob Serak, Camp White left fielder, was forced out of the game when he hurt his foot on the concrete base of a light pole while trying to field Brickell's three-baser.

Ayala s temperament cost him the first set. Patty was leading 6-5 and 30-love when a linesman called a service "in." Ayala thought it was out and he made no attempt to retutrn v Patty's next service over the net, thus conceding the set. Eddie Arcaro Rides Horse to Turf Triumph Oceanport, N.J.

Eastern Oregon hunting also would begin Oct. 26 with limits of three a day and 12 in the season. No Quail in West No valley quail hunting is projected in western Oregon but an eastern Oregon season would open on Oct. 26 with five birds a day and 10 for the season the limit. Pigeon hunting in the tentative regulations is dated for Sept. 1-30 with six per day and 30 per season bag. Dove dates were set at Sept. 1-22 with limit of 10 per day or 10 in possession but with no hunting in Jackson county because of farmer com plaints of trespass and charges that pheasants have been shot during dove season Only buck deer with forked horns or more could be killed during general season west of the Cascade summit. Deer with visible antlers could be shot east of the Cascades if regulations are adopted as now drawn up. There has been considerable controversy over hunters' choice, or either sex, deer sea sons. The game commission cur rently plans a hunters' choice for Oct. 19 through 21 for any one with an unused deer tag. Either sex deer hunting would be allowed most of Oregon east of Highway 97. There are some exceptions in central Oregon. With the exception of Jackson and Josephine counties the eith er sex hunt plan is the same as last year with killing permitted within one mile of agricultural lands. Strip Along Rogue. Hunters choice would be per mitted Oct. 19-21 in Jackson and Josephine counties in a strip two miles wide on each side of Rogue river from two miles above Shady Cove to two miles below Robertson bridge. Six controlled deer hunt sea sons are contemplated through out Oregon. In the west coast section bulls with antlers longer than ears could be killed in Coos and Curry counties and Douglas county west of highway 99 and bulls with three points or better elsewhere. Limit in northeast Oregon is slated at one bull with antlers longer than ears and in southeastern Oregon one elk of either sex would be allowed. Four controlled and four unit hunts also may be set up. Two-hundred permits in each of the three antleope areas are planned. Deer and elk hunting would be permitted in five of the 11 archery areas. Rogue Archery Boundary Archery area in the Rogue valley would be the same as for last year's extended deer sea son. One boundary would extend along Table Rock rd. from a point two miles north of Bybee bridge to Medford. .The line would follow Highway. 238 to the Applegate river at Apple gate and would go northwest to Rogue river and northwest erly down the Applegate river to Rogue river and northwest erly down the Rogue to Rob ertson bridge (13 miles from Grants Pass). Boundary would run easterly two miles then easterly along a line parallel and two miles from Rogue river and back to Bybee bridge.

Beck Confident Union Funds Not Misappropriated Seattle API Indicted Team ster President Dave Beck ex pressed confidence Saturday that witnesses would testify he and his son, Dave Jr., did not misap propriate union funds in the sale of three Cadillacs. A King county grand jury Fri day returned indictments against the two Becks, charging Beck Sr. on one count of pocketing SI,- 900 in the sale of a union-owned Cadillac and Dave Jr. with keep ing S4.650 realized from the sale of two more Cadillacs. Beck said there was no ques tion that the money from the sale of all three cars had gone to the Western Conference of Teamsters. He said the money had been transferred to the un ion "in cash." Doubtful of Receipts He said he "rather doubted" whether conference records would show- receipts of the amounts for each car "but you can be sure it will be proved that the money every penny of it was received and there will be witnesses who will so testi fy." Asked whether Fred Verscheu- ren Jr., Western Conference au ditor, would testify that cash for the cars had been received, Beck replied emphatically: "You can bet 310,000 against ten cents on that." Beck Sr. was charged with selling a 1952 Cadillac belong ing to the Western Conference of Teamsters and putting the $1,900 from the sale in the ac count of a private firm he heads. The car was bought by Martin Duffy, a specialties distributor and Teamsters Union member. Son Indicted Similarly The grand jury, which has been investigating Teamsters Un ion financial affairs in the Se attle area following recent rack ets committee hearings on Teamster Union activities, indict ed Dave Beck Jr. on two similar counts. The younger Beck was accused of having in his possession on Oct. 8, 1954, the $1,850 obtained from the sale of a 1951 Cadillac that was owned by the Joint Council of Teamsters, No. 28, to John L. Stratton, a hotel sup plier. The grand jury charged the sale was completed on Oct. 5, 1951. The jury also charged young Beck with having on Sept. 2, 1955, the $2,800 from the sale of a 1953 Cadillac to Kenneth L. Buckley, a fireman. It said the second car that belonged to the Western Conference of Teamsters. , Johnson Elected Head Of Lumber Company San Francisco HH C.

The Family Council does not give advice; it merely reports on problems that have been dealt with bj responsible agencies and counselors. Thelma My husband's junk is driving me crazy. Arthur T. Nothing is sacred except her vacuum cleaner. Thelma T. Ever since my husband retired several months ago, I have been going crazy Art always collected all kinds of junk tropical fish, butter flies, stuffed birds, rocks and things he calls "specimens.1 When he was at work, however, I used to be able to clean up the place and throw out a little of the stuff weeding, I called it. Well, how that he is home he putters around1 all day long, ac cumulating more and more trash. I haven't had a chance to do any weeding, so there is hardly room to turn around. Worst of all, I can't stand to have him home all day, messing here and there. I have heard that it's not good for a healthy man to retire. My husband is just 66, but looks lots younger. He should be work ing at a part-time job at least I've told him men often deterio rate and die very soon after retiring. Arthur T. I've told my wife that she ought to be very happy about my retirement. If I de teriorate and die in a short time. she can get rid of me and all the "junk" for once and for all and won't have to do any more weeding. As far as I'm concerned, I have looked forward for years to devoting my full time to my hobbies and I don't care if re tirement does take a few years off my life. I just don't want to work any more now that I have a comfortable pension. The mere fact that my wife can call tropical fish and but terflies "junk" shows what kind of a woman she is. Nothing is sacred except her vacuum clean er. For years she has been weed ing out my best treasures, fore-) ing me to go out and replace them at no end of trouble. We have been married for nearly 40 years, but I'm begin ning to wonder whether one household can hold us both. I want peace in my twilight years. The Council: Arthur's propos ed solution to his wife's prob lem is rather unrealistic.

Each unlikely he'll ever deteriorate and die. Since there is also very little likelihood that Arthur can be persuaded to take a part-time job, Thelma should try to ar rive at some sort of compromise and make the best peace she can with this situation. Is it possible to contain Arthur and his collection within one or two rooms? She could take a blood oath that there will be no weeding or nagging as long as he sticks to his territory. If he keeps up his share of the bargain, she should allow no word of disapproval to pass her lips. And she should keep out of his territory. It would also be a good idea for Thelma herself to find some interest outside of housekeeping. She might even try the part time job solution for herself. If she is less concentrated on her home, her husband and his accumulations are much less likely to get on her nerves. (Copyright 1957, General Features Corp.) Membership Check Returns Sought The return of membership checks to the Medford Safety council has been slow, according to Aubrey Loper, president. At a meeting held Friday, Loper urged everyone who had not renewed membership to do so right away. The budget for safety council activities is being prepared and an increase in the support subscribed by member ship dues is indicated. Membership in the Medford Safety council costs S2 per year for the individual, $10 for firm or organization membership and a sliding scale for industries which employ more than 8 or 10 workers. The council is actively en gaged in. a year-round educa tional program as well as nu merous safety projects during the year which are directed to ward reducing the loss of life from accidents in the area, Loper explained. Membership checks may be mailed to the Medford Safety council, post office box 614, Medford.
