PARKROSE CHAMPION
Seaside IW Parkrose
edged Granning and Treece 2-1
in the championship game of the
Connie Mack baseball tourna
ment yesterday.
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.

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. Joey

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.

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE NINE
All Teams Divide Sunday
In Pacific Coast League
By DICK HARNETT
United Press Sports Writer
It was "one for you and one
for ma" all the way down the
Pacific Coast League Sunday as
every team in the circuit had a
win and a loss in the day's four
doubleheaders.
San Francisco split with Port
land, losing the opener 3 to 1
and winning the nightcap 10 to
2. Vancouver dropped the first
4, then beat the Stars 5 to 4. San
4, then beat the t3ars 5 to 4. San
Diego lost to Los Angeles 8 to
3 in the opener and came back
for a 4 to 3 triumph in the sec
ond game. Sacramento lost the
first game at Seattle 4 to 3 and
won the finale 7 to 2.
San Francisco Charged
Loop leading San Francisco
came charging back wjUh the big
guns in the seventh-inning night
cap at Portland after dropping
two games in a row to the last
place Beavers, who had beaten
them 1 to 0 Saturday night. Bill
Renna cracked his 24th and 25th
home runs for the Seals this sea
son, one with two aboard in the
fifth and the other in the
seventh.
The Seals thus maintained
their three-game margin over
Vancouver. Don Kaiser handed
the league leaders their loss in
the opener, allowing the Seals
seven hits, including Tom
Umphlett's homer in the eighth.
The Hollywood Stars slapped
five Vancouver pitchers around
at Gilmore Field in the opening

but the Mounties turned the
tables in the second game,
knocking four Star hurlers for
13 hits and a 5-4 triumph.
Hollywood, tied at five games

ground on the second place
Mounties by winning the series
3-2.
