TWELVE MEDFOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Wednesday, Auguit 7. 1957 Seals Shake Slump, Promote Lead Interest in Double W By JIM HEALY Uniled Press Sporti Writer The front-running San Fran cisco Seals have apparently shaken the slump that plagued them most of last week. But they'd better keep i an eye out for San Diegctjvich eased Hol lywood out of third place Tues day night. The Seals showed they are still the team to contend with in the Pacific Coast league by taking a twin bill from the Los Angeles Angels, 5-0 and 8-2, while the Pads humiliated Port land In the Beavers' park, 4-1 and 6-0. San Francisco took the first game without a struggle, collect ing four runs in the second in ning two of which came from a wild homer by Marty Keough with one on. Another run was added in the third to give R. W. Smith a win after losing four straight. Angels Showed Fight The Angels showed more fight in the second contest and start ed off with a tally in the top of the first. But it was no go as the Seals came back with two in the same frame to go ahead and Best Fishing on Continent Is in Alaskan Waters Now By HAL WOOD United Press Sports Writer San Francisco (W The best fishing on the North Am erican continent right now is in Alaskan waters. And If it's Dolly Vardon trout you might be a-wanting, the place to go fishing is at Taku Harbor, 20 milei south of Jun eau and slightly less than 900 airline miles north of Seattle, Wash. Father Hubbard, the famed "Glacier Priest," and" Henry (Smitty) Schmidt, trainer for the San Francisco Forty Niners pro fessional football team, have just returned from a fishing trip there and, if you can believe Smitty, the Dolly Vardons there are so plentiful that after a while hauling them in gets tir ing. "We did our fishing at Lime stone inlet on a creek only about 15 yards wide," says Smitty, waving his arms in excitement, "and atimes the Dolly Vardons in that xreek were so thick you could almost walk across on them." Plenty of Proof Smitty may have been exag gerating to some extent, but he had plenty of pictorial proof of his catches. "You couldn't use a creel where we went fishing," he went on. "The average trout was 16 to 18 inches long, weighing from three to six pounds. A creel wouldn't be big enough, so we used sacks." Smitty was proud to be in the company of the famed Fa ther Hubbard, who is recover- AH Stars Begin Last Drill Day Chicago (W The College Ail Stars began their last full day of drills today before Fri day night's annual meeting with the National Football League champions, the New York Gi ants. . Coach burly Lambeau planned to continue his secret workouts for the collegians at the North western training camp early to day and then will send his squad through a night drill in Soldier's Field, site of the game. Probably Thursday the col legians will take only light drills without pads. Labbeau has stressed offensive maneuvers for the past week and was expected to continue drills on this phase today. How ever, his defensive platoon has been working simultaneously under assistant Coach Hunk An derson. Lambeau bas given no indica tion of the division of his 47 player squad into offensive and defensive ynits and it was likely that he would not make public what assignments his individual players will get until he takes the club on the field Friday. The only position at which there seemed to be some cer tainty was that either John Bro die of Stanford or Paul Hornung of Notre Dame would be the starting quarterback on offense.

"He is 67 years old now and this was his 30th tri to Alaska in 32 years. "He did his share of the fish ing, even with his physical dis abilities and I'm sure he had a wonderful time. Glacier Revisited "We went to visit a glacier there that Father Hubbard first had inspected 30 years ago. In that time the glacier has moved nearly a quarter of a mile, slid ing towards a small body of wa ter." Henry says the clams are nearly as thick as the Dolly Vardon trout at Taku Harbor. "We caught clams and cook ed and ate them as clamburg- ers, just as back here in the States we eat hamburgers," he said. ' "What a country for a fisher man," he exclaimed. "It stays light until 11 o'clock at night and starts to get light again at 3 a.m. You could fish 20 hours a day if the fish weren't so thick that you caught your lim it before that time!" Britishers. Keep Hopes Pittsburgh The British Wightman Cup tennis team, whose chances of winning the coveted trophy for the first time since 1930 are admittedly "only reasonably good," may have an ace in the hole because of the playing surface of the Edgeworth Club courts. Play in the 29th renewal of the matches begins Saturday at nearby Edgeworth where the courts have a teniko finish, a hard surface- of pulverized slate and clay with fast-drying qual ities. It marks the first time in the history of Wightman competi tion that the matches will take place on other than a grass tourt. In the eyes of the British this gives them only an outside chance since they have had more opportunity to play on compo sition courts. . Mrs. Mary Halford, non-playing British team captain, con ceded that inexperience will af fect her team's chances. She put it this way: e'Our chances of winning are only reasonably good." On the other hand, American team captain Mrs. Margaret Os borne DuPont said the matches will be much closer and more ex citing" since the British girls have more opportunity to play on composition courts." Church Playoffs At Camp White Monday's postponed games in the YMCA church softball league will be played Aug. 10 or 13 at Camp White, depending on availability of the field there. The games scheduled for Mon day at Hedrick junior high were called because of darkness after three or four innings. All future playoff games will be played at Camp White.

The Portland defense re mained strong until the sixth frame of that abbreviated first game when San Diego broke loose with three runs, ending a 1-1 tie and ending the game as far as the Beavers were con cerned. The second contest was all San Diego. Loser John Carmi chael gave up 13 hits before be ing relieved in the seventh. Bob Brodowski won, scattering five hits to Portland and going the distance. Seattle, Vancouver Win In' other loop contests, the re surgent Seattle Rainiers shut out Hollywood 3-0 while Vancouver downed Sacramento 6-1. ' It was the fourth straight win for the Seattle club its second off the Stars giving the Rain iers a 2-0 lead in their current series. It was strictly a pitcher catcher combination; Bud Pod bielan allowed the Stars only four hits while catched Dick Aylward batted in all three tal lies with a homer and a single. Vancouver also won its fourth straight game. The Mounties, not taking any chances on having someone sneak past them again, belted starter Roger Osenbaugh for five runs in the second frame including a two run homer by Owen Friend then coasted along until the seventh when they scored again. Starter Morrie Martin gave the Solons only six hits, one of which they were able to score in the sixth as a result of consecutive dou bles by Leo Righetti and Jim Westlake. ,wWM "IJ"" -" S-T-R-E-T-C-H Bill Causion, crouched on second base, was the villain in Hollywood's 4-3, 12-inning victory over the Seals in th e first game of a double header in San Francisco.

Daily's U-Drive Medford Airport Red Sox Star Still Pessimistic Boston OPt Ted Williams said he was sure of at least two things today concerning his hitting: "Up to now I'm sure that it isn't my best year . . . and I'll bet anything I have that I won't win the American League triple crown." While the Red Sox star seem ed so convincingly pessimistic about winning all three batting titles, he hedged a little on the first point by saying "it's a lit tle too early yet to definitely say whether this is my best sea son or not. , "If I see at the end of Sep tember that I've got more total bases than I ever had, then I'll say this was my best season," Williams said in a taped radio interview with Sportscaster Curt Gowdy of station WHDH and the Red Sox Tuesday night. Williams had 241 total bases after Tuesday night's game at Baltimore with 50 more games remaining this season. He ach ieved his highest total, 368, when he batted .343 in 1949. In 1941, when he enjoyed his top batting year of .406, Williams had 335 total bases. With ' 30 to his credit now Williams gave himself an "out side chance" to win the home run championship but it had to be on the condition that "I feel as good as I do now." Spider Fights On TV Tonight Chicago (W Middleweight Spider Webb plans to square ac counts with Charley Joseph in a television fight tonight to get back on the path toward the crown the current champion, Ray Robinson, thinks he can win. . .

But you can't over rule the judges. This time I've got to make it more decisive."

Giants Scan SF Offer New York m The New York ""Giants, with San Francis co's formal offer in hand, will present that offer to the club's board of j directors next, week and probably announce the fran chise shift. Brooklyn's announcement of its franchise shift to Los An geles was not expected to be far behind, since Dodger hopes of a new stadium in Brooklyn just about disappeared Tuesday witn publication of an engineer report that it would take from 50 to 55 million dollars to build a new stadium and improve its downtown Brooklyn site. In a meeting with Giant stock holders Tuesday club president Horace Stoneham told them it would be in the best interests of the team to move to San Francisco. In San Francisco, Mayor George Christopher said he had mailed the formal San Francisco offer to Stoneham for presenta tion to the team board of direc tors. "I'm sure we'll have the whole thing cleared up by the end of the month," said Christopher. No one would concede that the moves were absolutely cer tain. Christopher said that the "Chances are about 90 per cent" that San Francisco will have the Giants in 1958. The Dodgers' president, Walt er O'Malley, has said .many times he will take the team to Los Angeles if the City of New York, does not help him get the stadium he wants at the loca tion he wants. It was clear the city would not spend 50 million dollars for it. Medford, Ashland Y Teams Play Medford YMCA women softball team will play the Ash land YMCA women's team at Ashland Thursday night.
