bounties Fight to Padres Keep Them Br JIM HEALY United Preti Sports Writer Vancouver fought its way back into second place in the Pacific Coat league Wednesday and San Diego, not wanting to esee anyone lonely, trotted along to keep the Mounties company. The Mounties came by their new position with a 3-1 drub bing of San Francisco, while the Pads took the measure of 220 Golfers Shoot for $50, ,000 Pot Chicago rtfl More than 220 golfers began Tarn O'Shanter's All American Tournament today with their shots geared more for next week's lucrative World than for this week's $25,000 take. The World will pay the men pros, of which some 150 played today, a total of $101,200 with the top prize a guaranteed $50, 000 cash, the largest single pay- oii on the pro tour. Hence, if experimenting this week could pay off next week, the pros probably will be willing to lose a stroke or two in the $25,000 event if the venture might save , a stroke or two in the World. Already the field has been cut somewhat in two days of qual ifying from which the top 72 scorers and ties in the men's pro division advanced to the 72-hole four-day tourney. After 36 holes the field will be reduced further and only the select top scorers this week will get into the World. Competition will be held among men pros, women pros, men amateurs and women ama teurs. Virtually every "name" player in the game will be in the event and most of them were exempt from the qualifying tests and will play their first round today. Among the group was Masters champion Doug Ford, also the leading money winner with earnings of $39,546.55, Open champion Dick Mayer, and PGA champion Lionel Hebert 1 Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MELREES About a month ago while fish ing one of our central Oregon lakes I observed one of the strangest, most productive meth ods of fly fishing that I have ever seen. This lake in which fly-fishing only is permitted, is quite shal low over much of its area with the water varying in depth from approximately four to 15 feet. It is fed by very cold streams and is extremely clear. There are some fairly deep spots in the lake but the fish (Eastern Brook) roam over the shallow parts evidently looking for food. Now the usual method for fly fishing a lake of this type is to anchor the boat (and there were many who did) and to cast a long line, sink the fly and slowly retrieve it. Of course if one works the area thorough ly and doesn't connect it pays to up the anchor and move to a new spot. This can be very time consuming. Unique Method The method I saw used was unique in that it allowed the angler to cover a large area without scaring the fish. The anglers were a boy of about 15 years and his grandpa and grandma. They had an alumin um boat and a motor and were experts at their type of fly fish ing. They waited until the wind put a "skiff" or riffle on the water then running their motor out into the lake they cut it off and proceeded to drift to wards the shore. They only used about thirty feet of line witii about a nine foot leader. They cast this out in front of them, raised the rod tip until the rod was vertical and roll-cast the fly back out in front again. This was repeated until they neared the shore when they started the motor and went back out for another drift. Grandpa tied the flies and most of them resembled nymphs although there were a couple of "nightmares"' with a little gold tinsel wrapped around the hook and a couple of gold tinsel streamers. I don't know what it was supposed to represent but it worked. ' Effective Method When this method is analyzed it can be readily seen why it was so effective. On the roll-cast the fly was flipped back over some water that had not been dis turbed for the wind had moved the boat that much. As the fly hit the water it sank quickly due to its scant tie and was re trieved through the water oy raising the rod tip. It must have appeared very Then, to confuse things even more, Hollywood was relegated to third place as a result of a 6-5 loss to a pesky Portland squad. Sacramento rounded out the loop with a 9-8 win over Los Angeles, but taking 13 hits to do it. The win gave Vancouver a 3-2 edge in its abbreviated ser ies with the Seals Morrie Mar tin won the contest, going the distance. Harry Dorish started and ftst for San Francisco. The Seals scored their first and only run in the second. Vancouver tied it up in the third then went ahead with tallies in the seventh and eighth. Metro Thumbed Mountie Manager Charlie Metro 1ST was heaved from the game for arguing with Umpire Emar Sorenson who called a Martin bunt foul. The San Diego win belonged completely to starting and win ning hurler Dick Brodowski. Brodowski allowed Seattle only two hits during the contest, He retired the sides in order in every frame except the fourth when Seattle tied it 3-3. But the Paris mm hark to take the j game with an unearned run in the eighth frame. Al Jones homered for San Diego, " opening the scoring in the second. The Beavers, bent on revenge for. the .double loss they took Tuesday, jumped all over Holly- Canadian Clubs Arrive Portland HP) The Edmonton Eskimos, champions of Canadian professional football, arrive to day for their game Friday night against the British Columbia Lions at Multnomah stadium. The Lions will fly to Portland Friday. The Canadian teams play on a field 110 yards long and 65 yards wide. Canadian teams are allowed only three downs in stead of four as in American football. Both teams are well stocked with former American stars. lifelike to the fish for they real ly ate it up. I gave it a good try with ex cellent success using a number of different ties of flies, ie., Tied Down Caddis, Brown Hack le Yellow and a weird bucktail creation with no name but com posed of some deer hair for the tail, a yellow chenille body and wings of deer'hair swept straight back. It had a lifelike action in the water and produced even without a name. I don't fee! that this method would work too well except in a more or less shallow lake for when, as in most lakes, one is fishing the shores in the eve ning there wouldn't be enough water to drift. If, however, you find a fairly extensive feeding area it is a very good bet. Latest Reports on Fishing Front Fish Lake Fishing has been good during the past week and is expected to continue good over the week end. Best lure is flatfish. Many fish are being taken on worms and eggs'. Klamath Lake Bob Sloan of Harriman's Resort says that things are really great there now. The 4-pound-or-better club is growing and Bob lists recent initiates as follows: Leo A. Han Ion, Van Nuys. Calif. 9 lbs; Pat Lee, Sun Valley, Calif. 4 Vi; Roland Gum. Modesto, Calif. ri. 9H, 43i, 44; Dave Clover, Ashland, 5', 4; Roy Swanson, Van Nuys, Calif. 94, 4V2: Hope Palmer, Grants Pass, 4; Gordon Russell, Portland, 634, 5, 4U; Vince Rutherford, Portland, 4; Harold and Kay O'Conner, New man, Calif. 4, S'.i; Winnie Grif fin, Portland, 6; Charles Ham mond, Portland, 4Vi; Leroy O'Conner, Newman, Calif. 4; Ralph Griffin, Portland. 8' 4, 4?4- More than 60 per cent of the fish are hitting flatfish Andy Reekers next. This fishing will continue to be good long after the kids have gone back to schools and their dads back to work, according to Sloan. Some excellent fishing can be had here in September but most anglers have turned their atten tion to hunting by that time. Gold Beach Johnny Wolf reports that the salmon fishing at the mouth of the Rogue is fair both from shore using -pinners and from boats with bait. Steelhead are starting to hit above tidewater nothing startling, but a good start. Chetco Johnny Hewitt of, Hewitt's Anchorage at Harbor, Oregon says fishing here is slow. Smelt were in by the thousands the early part of the week but this can't be depended on. Scanty reports from Diamond Lake indicate that the fishing there is slow. Seattle, 4-3. Second, Company , tfood starting pitcher Hugh yepper in ,me intra ior i i v e runs. Hollywood came back with two in the third and two in the seventh, but Portland managed to stay ahead through out the evening. Two For Pettit Paul Pettit, a dangerous clutch hitter, banged a two run homer for the Stars in the third and another in the ninth with none on. Solly Drake and Frank Craswell slammed out round trippers for Portland. The only thing surprising in Sacramento was the score. With 18 hits, at least one of every man. in the lineup but two of the relief pitchers, the Solons should have breezed through the contest. As' it was Al Heist won the game in the seventh when he doubled to drive in a skin-ot the-teeth tie creaking run. Steve Bilko hit his 33rd hom er of the year for Los Angeles, and the Angles used five pitch ers during the battle. Heist hit three time during the night, batting in three Sac ramento runs. Jerry Hartsfield collected two runs off two hits for the losers. THE LINESCORES: Vancouver 001 000 110 3 11 San Francisco .. 010 000 000 1 6 Martin and Atwell; Dorish, iKely (8) ana banaowsKi.

It is the city of Metaponto, some 35 miles southeast of this Adriatic naval base the city of philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, which six centuries before the birth of Christ had a population of 40,000 and im mense wealth. Until the end of World War II the site of the once-thriving city was a dead desert, broken only by fragments of ancient struc tures jutting from the sun drenched layer of reddish earth. Only a few shepherds ventured there with their flocks, defying the malaria-bearing anopheles mosquitoes. The rebirth of Metaponto as an inhabited community began when the Allied health services introduced insect-killing chemi cals. Mosquitoes miraculously disappeared, and land-hungry peasants settled in to farm an area which for 25 centuries had lain idle and unproductive. The new Metaponto is both modern and ancient.

Jerry. Sides faced 21 batters in six innings for the Studs, striking out six. He was relieved by Jerry Bartown in the sixth who whiffed seven of 10 batters. Both men .allowed one walk apiece. Gene Parenfwent the distance for Talent-Ashland. The smooth moundsman allowed 11 hits, struck out seven, and walked two. The Talent team made the scoring column first.

Welch scored when first base man jacK cooney s raraw on a base line tap by McAbee was late. Medford waited until the fourth inning. Then John Ko- venz slapped his second double of the evening, and Ron Owings followed with a triple down first base foul line. A sacrifice fly by Frank Rector brought Ow- old city came to light. So inter esting were the first discoveries that the superintendent of art for the Apulia region placed some areas under strict off-limits rules and ordered a series of systematic excavations. The archeological work is now being carried out under the di rection of Prof. Nevio Degrassi, and the area is rapidly becom ing a "must" for the world's art students. There are already many inter esting things to be seen of the ancient city, but Degrassi is in no hurry to bring more to light. He does not care to start new excavations and leave them half completed for lack of funds. As in the region north of Rome, where clandestine dig gers loot the tombs of the fabu lous Etruscans, so in Metaponto clandestine diggers set out by the dozen ea,ch time a new spot of interest is discovered by arch eologists. The 'Clandestini." as they are called, are not interested in the columns of the lost temples, but in the easily saleable art objects which undoubtedly abound especially in the lost treasure of Metaponto. According to legend, the in habitants of the Greek city bur ied their gold and jewels 'vhen 1 o with run ings across number two. A security run was collected by the Studs in the eighth in ning. Jerry Droscher poked out a single and stole second. Rector got another RBI with a solid double to left field. Outstanding Play The outstanding field play of the evening followed, when with Rector in scoring position on sec ond, Jerry Bartow shot a high line drive that looked as if it would skim the glove of Talent second sacker Bill Welch. Instead, Welch leaped and stretched, snagged the drive, and tossed to Pete Cotton covering the base to double Rector: For Medford, Kovenz hit three for four: Jack Cooney did the same with two singles and a double: Reinking got a double and single: Owings picked up a triDle: Rector got a double and Droscher a single.

Rademacher is the Olympic heavyweight champion. But Rademacher, who is scheduled to fight heavyweight champion Floyd Patterson at Seattle on Aug. 22, is a comparative novice who never has gone more than three rounds and never had a professional bout. He is a potential corpse.

Courchesne's experience did not save him in a fight against Bobby Bell last week. Rademacher is 29, a part time amateur who didn't even make the 1952 Olympic team and whose victory in 1956 was a distinct upset. He can punch but he is an unprotected target for a man of Patterson's punish ing skills. 11 Killed Last Year They talk of the possibility that he could win with one "lucky" punch. They forget that Patterson, for six years, daily has been studying the grim art of destroying the man who stands in front of him. Eleven men were killed in the ring last year. Ten died of beatings the year before. In 1953 there were 22 men slain just as surely as if they had been battered with an iron pipe. Putting Rademacher against Patterson is a disgrace even to a bestial industry which long has masqueraded as a sport. If it goes through, it may be time to outlaw this bloody business once again. goes up for grabs for .the 50th time. It will have to go some to beat past years, however. Last year, for example, a Se attle man' found himself in Port land, Ore., while the $25,000 Seafair Race was being run on Seattle's Lake Washington. To his dismay, he discovered Portland radio and television stations were not carrying the race. He took a cab to the air port, caught the first plane and arrived in Seattle in time for the final two heats. An amateur cameraman try ing to film the race couldn't find room to set up shop. He rolled up his pant legs, took off his shoes and socks ttnd waded out into the lake. There he set up his tripod in a foot of water and ground away happily. So many fans clamor for passes to the pit area during the qualifying trials that last year counterfeit passes were printed and sold on downtown streets. Business was brisk until the local gendarmes moved in. Although officially frowned upon, more than 5,000 speedboat fans broke out sleeping bags and camped out on the shores of the lake the night before the Sea fair Race. However, they were only pikers compared with Mrs. Earl Moore of Bellingham and Mrs. Leonard Bishop of nearby Mountlake Terrace. The two women, along with six children, tented out on the shores of the lake nine days be fore the race. Everything went fine until the law arrived and allowed as how camping out on the lake front was against a city ordinance. . "All right," said Mrs. Moore. 'We'll take down the tent and send back our gasoline stove and most of our food. But we're staying right here until the race." They did, too.
