HARD SELL Los Angeles IW Hiroter Nakanishi, a Japanese stowaway who jumped ship here, believes you don't have to say a word to sell automobiles. Nakanishi. a car salesman in Tokyo, can't speak a word of English but ex plained to immigration authori ties he figured all he had to do was slap the cars with his hand and point out their various features. PLENTY OF NOTHING Irvington, N.J. W Crime doesn't pay at least not for thieves who broke into a local dairy. They dragged a 500-pound safe down several flights of a fire escape, loaded it into an automobile, drove five miles away, then smashed it open. The'loot? 35 cents. the play-offs The Saturday night skirmish was a fairly entertaining one for about seven innings. But it dragged over the last two frames, when Medford piled up 13 runs and Talent 11, and took three hours plus to complete.' The Studs scored 10 and Talent seven in the ninth. Assure Second Cave Junction polished off Camp White 12 to 6 in a Sunday game to assure the Outlaws sec ond spot in the final regular sea son standings. Camp White dropped into fifth position as Glendale took over fourth alone with a forfeit from Butte Falls which has suspended operation. The Whiters also announced that they will not be in the play offs and have had their last game of the 1957 campaign. They'll get a forfeit win from Butte Fal as Glendale will from Grants Pass to wrap up their standfngs. That leaves Tal ent at Cave Junction next Sun day as the last regular game. Ron Peery Hurt An injury to Ron Peery of the Studs marred the contest. The youthful outfielder from Med ford high suffered a severe con sion when struck in the head in the ninth inning by one of the throws of Ashland-Talent pitch er Gene Parent. The attending physician said that there was no skull fracture. Peery is confined to Rogue Valley hospital where he was taken immediately after being felled. Frank Roelandt, the starting pitcher who played four innings, and Jerry Bartow, who was ejected in the fourth inning for his beef about a strike call, were the only Studs who did not play more than one position. Larry Perkins, whom Peery replaced in the seventh inning, was al lowed to return to the game after Peery was hurt. The night's action saw John Kovenz slam six consecutive hits and bat six for seven. He slammed a double and triple and drove in six runs. Kovenz was a better batter than pitcher. He hurled the final inning, gave up five hits and two walks and was charged with the seven runs, although two errors by a teammate hurt his cause. McAbse Homers Jim McAbee was Talent's heftiest walloper with a single and homer in six times up and five runs batted in. Eldon Fran cis of Medford and Pete Cotton of Talent each got three hits. Medford got 21 hits during the evening and the rival club 12. Roelandt, whose usual spot is catcher, gave up just four hits in his four frames on the mound and Ashland put over only one run in that time. Reliever Duane Sides was tagged for just three hits, one the home run. Cave Junction got three hits and four runs off Pitcher Fred Herrmann in the first inning and 13 off Keith Johnson the rest of the way. In contrast, Jim Eggers limited the Whiters to just two hits over six innings. Dave Campbell and Larry Maurer each got three hits for the Otulaws and Maurer and Stan Campbell tripled. Johnson was the onlv one with two hits or Camp White. He and Phil Sword each had three-basers. Medford Reinking. if. lb Rector, ss.

NiIDFORDTBIBUNE SIPCIDnBIFS Pattersbn-Rademacher Mix Boxing Highlight of Week New York OPi Floyd Pat terson will defend his world pro fessional championship against Pete Rademacher, the world amateur champion, in the fea tured fight on this week's boxing schedule. They are slated for 15 rounds at Sick's stadium, Seattle, Wash., Thursday at 10 p.m. (p.s.t.) with out benefit of television or radio. It is the heavyweight division's first "open" championship. It also is the first heavyweight title fight on which there was no "for mal" betting and no odds quoted. And it doubtless is the most widely criticized title bout ever staged in any division. Twenty eight year old Rademacher of Grand View, Wash., is the Olym pic champion who won 72 of 79 amateur bouts but never had a professional fight. Promoter Jack Hurley would have a $400,000 gate if all the 25,000 seats in Sick's Stadium were sold out. Patterson is guar anteed $250,000 from a fund raised by Rademacher's relatives and friends. Another champion fights this week. Lightweight ruler.

Effect of Power Turbine Blades on Fish Studied Portland What effect do spin ning blades of power turbine wheels have on fish passing through them? This question long has been of concern to both power and fishery interests and the subject for a great deal of testing at var ious power sites. Although infor mation on this question is avail able an accurate answer has been difficult to obtain because of the inadequacy of testing equip ment. A huge funnel net con structed by the state game com mission may provide the answer. The newly designed net has been tested in recent days at the Leaburg power plant of the Eu gene water and electric board. The net, weighing in excess of 1,200 pounds, screens all the water issuing from a single tur bine outlet. The net is sufficient ly long, approximately 80 feet in length, so that the fish passing through the turbine are carried downstream into a collection box located away from the tur bid water area. Massive Frame The net is hung on a massive aluminum frame, adjustable to fit various size draft tube open ings up to over 20 foot square, and funnels down to a lx2-foot opening attached to a floating live box. The frame of the net fits snugly down in front of the turbine port so that everything that passes through the port en ters the net. Cooperating with the game commission in the tests have been the Eugene water and elec tric board and other interested agencies including the fish com mission, U. S. fish and wildlife service, and the army engineers. Charles Campbell, Monty Mont gomery, and William Pitney are in charge of the operations for the game commission. The experiments at the Mc- Kenzie power sit are designed in the first place to test the me chanical operation of the net it self. NOW!
