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

junior Olympics competition
also is worthy of considera
tion. SEEK INTEREST INCREASE

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.

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.

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

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.

ed solution to his wife's prob
lem is rather unrealistic. With
his many interests, it is very

consists of a Judge, a psychiatrist,
women's editor and two writers. 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.
