Vancouver Mounfies
Gain Slightly; Must
Win Six Remaining
By JIM HEALY
United Press Sports Writer
After nearly two weeks on a
maddening treadmill, the second
place Vancouver Mounties have
finally gained a crucial half
game on the San Francisco Seals.
Playing the only single Pa
cific Coast league game on the
schedule Tuesday night, the
St. Mary's
Hampered
By Injuries
St. Mary's high football turn
has swelled to 30 aspirants but
the Crusaders could be a bit
crippled for their opening game
here Friday night against Illinois
Valley.
Coach Bill McKibbin reported
Jerry Flakus, big end, out with
a sprained back, another letter
man, George Lucas, fullback,
lamed with a badly bruised thigh
and Paul Smith a right half, suf
fering from an ankle sprain.
The mentor said the rest of
his players are going full steam
under his direction and that of
Neil Murphy, line coach.
The Crusaders play the Cave
Junction club on the Medford
Senior High field in the first
prep fray of the season here. It
may be the only non-loop game
for St. Mary's this year. How
ever, a game is set against Eagle
Point here on Nov 9 if neither
team is in state play-offs.
This season find3 SM with its
fullest 11-man grid slate. The
Crusaders have seven district
games. The opener in the-B cir
cuit will be on Sept. 20 at Tal
ent. Other clubs in the district
are Merrill, Sacred Heart of
Klamath Falls, Jacksonville, Ma
lin, Bonanza and Chiloquin. SM
won the Jackson county title
last year but there is no such
circuit in football this season
since Jacksonville and Talent
are the only other schools play
ing the 11-man sport in the
county.
Of all adult pedestrians killed
in motor vehicle accidents about
23 per cent had been drinking
or were drunk.

Mounties came from behind to
whip last place Portland, 4-2,
while the Seals split with Lo3
Angeles, trouncing the Angels
5-3 in the opener, then getting
trounced themselves, 3-2.
Elsewhere, San foiego nailed
Sacramento, 5-3, in the opener,
and went down in the nightcap,
3-2 while Hollywood and Seattle
split with identical 2-0 scores,
Seattle winning the first contest
and the Stars the nightcap.
It was the sixth straight win
for the Mounties. But in order
to even tie for the pennant, they
have to win all six remaining
games, assuming San Francisco
loses three.
Portland went ahead in the
fourth with two runs when Bob
Borkowski scored on a single by
Luis Marquez and Marquez tal
lied on another single, this-time
by Ed Winceniak. But the fight
ing Mounties snapped back with
all four of their tallies in the
same frame to complete the scor
ing and win. Erv Palica, 15-12,
started and won.
The opener between San Fran
cisco and the Angels was won in
the eighth frame of a scheduled
seven inning game. Bill Renna
accounted for the tie breaker
with a two-run homer which Los
Angeles was unable to top. In
the second, George Anderson
busted a 2-2 tie by singling in
the winning run in the bottom of
the ninth.
San Diego won its half of the
doubleheader with a four run
splurge in the third frame which
gave it too great a lead for the
Solons to overcome, despite a
two-run homer by Gary Rushing
in the fourth. The second game
was almost the same thing in re
verse. Sacramento tallied three
runs in the third while winner
Roger Bowman (6-11) kept the
Pads to five hits.
In Seattle, both teams suffer
ed shutouts, the Stars on six hits
by Larry Jansen in the first,
and Seattle on five hits given up
by Bob Garber in the finale.
The only homer came in the
first contest when Hal Bevan
slammed one in the fourth with
none on. The Stars' win broke a
six game losing streak and en
abled them to fend off up-and-coming
Seattle which is fighting
to'gain Hollywood's third place
spot.

Pheasant Crop
Excellent in

county chapter, Izaak Walton
League, met Monday night at the
Medford Gun club in the first
meeting of fall.
Charles Shepherd, game com'
mission game biologist for this

ture, Trophy Hunt, was shown.

members regarding a public
hearing held by the district
army engineers in Coos Bay
July 16 on log rafting regula
tions for the lower Rogue river.
He and chapter president Hank
DeVoss presented papers at the
hearing personally and, Weiland
said, the engineers received let
ters from around the country,
generally opposed to log rafting.
On Resources Committee
In the meethig, it was
brought out that at least 13
Izaa Walton members of this
county are serving on the county
water resources committee.
Many tributaries of the Rogue
river are dry, and others have
very little flow due to logging
operations and' forest fires, it
was reported.
The chapter voted to sell one
dollar supporting memberships
to raise money for activities.
The treasurer's report showed
the chapter in debt, due to past
heavy expenses on conservation
programs. The building fund has
over S600, however.
A representative of the Med
ford Rifle and Pistol club pro
posed on behalf of his organiza
tion that the Izaak Walton chap
ter and the Rifle and Pistol club
combine efforts toward a new
clubhouse adjacent to the gun
club. A committee was appoint
ed to study the proposition.
