o Studs Wallop Kubs, Merchants The Grants Past Merchanti today became the second team in lm than a week to drop out of the Rogue Valley base ball league. Butte Falls quit Sunday. Glenn Reese, business man ager of the Grants Pass team, said lack of money brought about the "reluctant- decision. Reese said Grants Pass desires to field a team next year and by dropping out now it will be possible to play again in the 1958 season. 1 ' The business manager pointed out that the club is in the red at the present time with gate receipts offering the only pos sibilty of erasing the debt. Reese said attendance had dropped off to the point where there was no hope of gate receipts paying off the club's obligations for the current eason. The team has been in last place most of the season. "If there is any way we can raise the necessary money to play our three remaining games, we will do it. We deeply regret to have to take this step," Reese said. Butte Falls was forced to drop out when several ball players left the area in search of work after a labor strike had curtailed employment there.

Hunting and Fishing Southern Oregon By MEL A few years .ago there was jjuch an upswing in the sale of spin-fishing gear that many of the experts were fearful that it vould mean the end of fly fish ing and plug casting as major fishing methods. Naturally the average baginner and many vet erans took to spin-fishing be cause of the ease with which it could be mastered. Fly fishing experts used to en courage their students by saying, "in say 20 or 25 years you may be toierable fair!" This didn't discourage too many at that but it only goes to show that it wasn't a sport for the some-time fisherman. To become an expert plug caster likewise took hours and years of practice. ' Most anyone could tumble a plug end over eid with a back-lash here and there but it takes an expert to whip a plug from the nd of his rod so that it shot straight as an arrow to land within an inch of a likely spot but the experts can. But spinning . . . ? Due to the principle of the line spinning off the end of the spool anyone can with only a few minutes practice be casting farther than he needs to. Don't think that spinning hasn't proven a head ache for the guides who drift the river. Heretofore, that is before spin ning, most of the guides at least the intelligent ones would steer clear of a spot where a bank fisherman was trying his luck but now how are you going to stay clear of a bank full of fish ermen who are casting all the way across the river? Two years ago I was discuss ing this swing away from fly fishing and plug casting with Jason Lucas, fishing editor of Sports Afield. Lucas is an ardent basy fisherman and an expert rha casting rod. At that time he was fearful that the younger generation would take up this easier sport of spinning and neg lect the sometimes more fun of fly fishing or casting. Recently I received a letter from him in which he referred to this conversation and said that I might be interested to know that in the past year there was a decline in spin fish ing tackle sales and an upswing in the sale of both fly rods and casting outfits. Renewed Interest In his travels across the coun try he said that there was a re newed interest in these two older methods and that more and more youngsters were crowding the casting pools of clubs and rivers and streams learning to fish like dad does." Jason said that it didn't take too long before folks found out that there was fun to be had by fly fishing and casting that spinning would never replace. Now don't get me wrong I think that spinning is definitely here' to stay and I for one think that it is a great sport but I also think that the other two sports will continue. In fishing such "as our steel head fishing I feel that there is no other method that can com pare to it fishing from the shore. I . prefer to fish the old strip method from a boat for distance and drift is of practi cally no consequence here with the boat drifting along with the current but from the shore, spinning is tops and besides how would you reach those hard to get places with a couple of BB shot by the old method? The latest report from Klam KIrH)F0RIwi)wTRIBUNE Argentine Would Like Tarn Tourney Repeat By IRA LURVEY United Press Sports Writer Chicago (IP! It was Argen tine Roberto de Vicenzo against the World today in the opening round of golfdom's 72-hole ver sion of Utopia, Tarn O'Shanter's $101,200 World Open. De Vicenzo, who's been trying to break Tarn's bank since 1951 but normally doesn't even know his way around the course until after the preliminary All Amer ican, sat through an earthquake in Mexico City this year and then came up to cop the Ail American with a 15-under-par 273. Thus De Vicenzo, who tradi tionally 'gets hotter as he goes along, started out boiling. "Winning the All American was fine," he said, "but the World ah, that, she is the tour nament." ? Big Money Difference The most pronounced differ ence between the two tourneys, played on the same course with most of the same competitors and spaced only three days REES ath Lake coming from Bob Sloan of Harriman's Resort lists the following big fish taken re cently: Ralph Grissin, Portland, 4, 4'4, 5; Barbara Paul shock, Los Angeles, Calif., 6V4; Gordon Russell, Portland, 7, 634, 8, 6; Earl Niederman, Grants Pass, 4; Dexter McCar ty, Gresham, 9 '4; Roland Gum, Modesto, Calif., 8V2, 9, 5V4; Rus sell Gum, Modesto, Calif., 434, 4; Jake Oiseph, Los Ange les, Calif., 4Vi; LeRoy O'Con nor, Newman, Calif., 434, 7V2, Tom Morgan, Grants Pass, 8V4 lbs. Fish Lake Fishing was a lit tle slow over last week end but on the whole, fishing there is holding up good. Willow Creek Reservoir Fishing has been good and will probably be good over the week end. Diamond Lake Reports in dicate that the fishing is fair to good. Mouth of the Rogue Sal mon fishing, according to John ny Wolf of Johnnie's Tackle Shop, is good. Chetco' River Johnny Hew itt of Hewitt's Anchorage says that salmon fishing is slow. Eugene Tops Wenatchee By UNITED PRESS Eugene scrambled back to within three games of Wenat chee Wednesday with little more than three weeks left in North west League action. The Emer alds evened their current series at 1-1 on a 4-1 score. Tri-City took a 2-0 series edge over Salem on an 18-7 rout while Lewiston took a two-game advantage over Yakima by a 3-1 count. Hardtop, Midget Races Cancelled There will be no hardtop or quarter midget races here this week end. Hardtoppers have postponed the first race of the season's last half until Saturday, Aug. 17, at Valley View Speedway. Local quarter midget race drivers will resume at Jackson Hot Springs Sunday, Aug. 18. This Sunday, quarter midget drivers will compete at the Al- penrose track, Portland. Local drivers going will be Teresa Al len, Jimmy Allen, Eddie McCoy, Dana Carder, Mike Myers, and Tim Travis. Hockey President Testifies Today Washington (If) President Clarence Campbell of the Na tional Hockey League will be the star witness today when congressional investigators turn their attention to professional hockey. James P. Durante, the attor ney who represents the Hockey Players' Assn. and star players Ted Lindsay and Doug Harvey also will appear before the sub committee, which Wednesday wound up its investigation into professional basketball. Lindsay and Marvey are player repre sentatives. Game Tomorrow Camp White and Cave Junc tion will play . a non-league baseball game at the Camp While Memorial field at 7:30 p.m. tomorrow. apart, is $46,500. Winner's share in the All American is S3.5G0. In the World, the champ gets a whopping $50,000. Only one man ever has won both the All American and the World in the same year in the tourney's modern history. Lloyd Mangrum, then home pro at Tam O'Shanter, turned the trick in 1948, but the World was only 36 holes then. The following year, the World was extended to 72 holes. Since the best score carded for the route has been 273, turned in by Ben Hogan in 1951 and by Ted Kroll last year. Would Be Most Happy De Vicenzo, therefore, would be most happy to repeat his All American card in the World. Some 100 others, most of the pros, also are gunning for golf's largest single pot. Gene Littler, who wound up second in the All American with a 277, and Sam Snead, who carded a 278, appear to be most in line to crack the money. Snead, who was runner-up to Mangrum in 1948, won the crown in 1946, but then the net was but $10,000. Among the women pros who will fight for a $6,000 first prize are All America winner Pat Berg and runner-up Jackie Pung. Miss Berg was runner-up from 1948 through 1952 and then won the women's crown in 1953, 1954 and 1955. Marlene Bauer Hagge won last year. Six Boats Qualify Seattle (IP) Speedboat owners battled the weather, time and tough luck today try ing to qualify their hydroplanes for Sunday's 50th running of the Gold Cup on Lake Washing ton. Only six boats have quali fied for the 90-mile classic to date. Qualifying deadline is Sat urday night although in past years boats have been given a final chance to qualify the morn ing of the race. Short Circuit of Detroit joined the circle of boats which have turned three laps of the 3-mile Gold Cup course at better than 95 miles an hour Wednesday. Chuck Thompson turned in a 98.938 mile per hour effort to become the only boat of the day to qualify. She joins Miss Wa hoo Maverick, Gale V, Gale VI and Shanty I in the select group. Bad water and bad luck plagued all hands Wednesday Such Crust III of Detroit, with Jack Bartlow at the throttle tossed a propeller which slashed through the hull. It is doubltful if the boat can be made ready for Sunday's race. Miss U.S. 8, Miss Bardahl, Breathless II and Thriftway Too all were on the water and all suffered various kinds of mechanical trouble. Fifteen qualifiers are required for seven heats with the seven fastest boats to run in the final pay-off heat. If less than 15 boats qualify, the race will be run in five heats.

CALL TA 6-4081 Webb Feels 'Redeemed1 Chicago (IB Middleweight Spider Webb said today he was "a redemmed man" because he beat Charley Joseph, one of the two fighters who have defeated him in his 25 pro bouts. "I had to win this one," he said. "Maybe I didn't look too good, but I thought I fought bet ter than I did when he beat me in our last fight. I was trying to shorten my punches, stay away from those long right hands, and so I had more power. Webb, scoring his 23rd vic tory Wednesday night, appar ently earned himself a rematch with the NBA's lOth-ranked mid dleweight, Bobby Boyd. Webb was ranked sixth by the NBA and Joseph eighth going into the scrap. Webb met Boyd more than three years ago, early in his pro career and before he went into military service, scoring one of his 12 knockout victories. Webb was trying for a knock out on Joseph Wednesday night to prove he shouldn't have lost to the New Orleans fighter in their previous bout in Joseph's home town. Webb believed he had Joseph in trouble in two rounds, the third and seventh, when he kept him cornered for nearly three full minutes of pummeling. Stewart, Patty Left Hamburg, Germany (IP) With Hugh Stewart of San Mar ino, Calif., competing in the doubles, Budge Patty of Los Angeles and Paris was the only American left in the men's sin gles competition of the German International Tennis Tourna ment today. Stewart, eliminated from the singles on Tuesday, received special permission from the USLTA yesterday to continue playing in the doubles after the tennis ruling body had suspend ed him for participating in European tournaments without authorization. The USLTA ac ceded to a cabled request from the Hamburg Tennis Guild to permit Stewart to compete in doubles. Patty advanced to the quar ter-finals by beating Neil Gibson of Australia, 6-1, 6-2, 6-3. Luis Ayala of Chile was the only other player who advanced to the men's quarter-finals yester day. Ayala beat Laco Legen- stein, an exiled Yugoslav, 6-3, 6-3, 6-2. In a major upset, Jacques Brichant of Belgium bowed to Antal Jansco, an exiled Hun garian player, 6-2, 6-2, 3-6, 9-7, in the second round. - 'mxrW N0TARECAP! V 1 All Tires Mounted FREE!

Dempsey Aid Dies New York (0) Funeral ser vices will be held Friday in Baltimore for Meyer Max Wax man, 64, the man who said "no" for Jack Dempsey during the past quarter-century. Waxman, Dempsey's business manager, died at his suite ia New York's Mayflower hotel Wednesday after a four-year heart ailment. When Waxman began hand ling Dempsey's business affairs in 1932 after the ex-heavyweight champion had retired from the ring, he found that Dempsey's assets totaled "around $300,- 000." Open-handed Jack had lost or given away most of the $7,051, 224 he earned in the ring, in movies, etc., during his fighting days. Dempsey .couldn't say "no" to a business proposal, to a borrower's "touch" or to a re quest for a free personal appear ance. Waxman added with a grin, "just refer everyone to me, and if the answer has to be 'no,' I'll say it for you." It was a lucky arrangement for Dempsey and Waxman. To day Jack is a millionaire. And Waxman was very wealthy when he died.

MEDFORD (OREGON) Ski Bowl Group Seeks Word On Shasta 'Viewability' Mount Shasta The help of Californians in determining the "viewability" of Mt. Shasta has been asked. The plea came from the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl which is build ing a lift atop the 14,162-foot peak dominating northern Cali fornia and southern Oregon. Chap Wentworth, Dunsmuir publisher who has ben a leader in the ski lift movement, said a preliminary survey showed the mountain could be seen from at least 170 airline miles away on a clear day. "We feel,". Wentworth said, "that this is probably the long est look in America, if not in the entire world." 146 Miles Away " He pointed out the peak can me seen easily from the South ern Pacific station at Willows, about 146 highway miles away, and from farm lands around Ar buckle, 36 miles south. "But," Wentworth said, "we do not know whether it can be seen still farther south or south east. We know also you can see the ocean on a clear day from the top of the peak, but we' do not know whether anyone has seen Mt. Shasta from off the coast." . ' The longest views come from the lower part of the extremely long and gently sloping Sacra mento valley, with no obstruc tions in the Sacramento river Bowling Meeting A meeting of old members and those interested in joining Victory Bowling league will be held at 7:30 p.m. Monday at Medford Bowling Lanes, 821 North Riverside ave.
