Dedicate has been withdrawn from the $75,000 added Trenton Handicap because of a training mishap, leaving Gallant Man, Round Table and Bold Ruler to battle it out in Saturday's "dream race" at Gaarden State Park. Mrs. Jan Burke, who owns Dedicate, revealed Wednesday night that the handsome stallion "took two or three bad steps" after working out for the Tren ton Wednesday. mimm w. 23 24 where. He was born and raised in Wellesley, Mass., a suburb of Boston, but was turned down at a Red Sox tryout camp be cause he was "too small." That was in 1947. Jack then weighed only 160 pounds but has since blossomed out into a six-foot, 190-pounder. SPORTS Rogue River Should Clear For Anglers Portland HP) The weekly report on fishing and hunting conditions in Oregon, prepared by the State Game Commission: Southwest: Fishing in both forks of upper Umpqua is poor; Tenmile lakes slow for silvers and jacks; lower Umpqua river also slow; Smith river upper tidewater fair; silver and Chi nook angling in lower Coquille river fair to good; upper Co quille river salmon angling be low Myrtle Point fair to good. , Rogue has been muddy, but conditions should improve by week end; good steelhead catches were made in Marial and Galice areas before muddy waters arrived. Elk hunting in Coos and Douglas counties expected to be fair; it will take a storm to bring elk into the open; waterfowl hunting will be poor until it storms. Central: Upper Klamath lake fair for hunting with bird num bers increasing; lower Klamath lake good when weather right for birds io fly; thousands of birds feeding at night on Klam ath management aTea public shooting grounds but. hunting only fair; goose hunting poor. Logart Seeking Fight for Crown New York (IP) Isaac Lo gart of Cuba, top-ranked con tender, has agreed to fight some- worthy rival for the vacant world welterweight title at Den ver, Colo., in January if the Den ver promoters can get title recog nition from the National Boxing association. ' "Logart has agreed to the fight if the NBA will recognize the winner as world champion," the Cuban's manager, Eddie Ma- fuz, said today. "The opponent and the date have not been pick ed yet, but we hope the oppon ent will be Virgil Akins of St. Louis." The welter weight title was left vacant on Sept. 23 when champion Carmen Basilio won the middleweight crown from Sugar Ray Robinson. No champ ion can wear two crowns simul taneously. Irishmen Ahead In Horse Show New York (IP) The Irish army equestrian team, which had promised to do well in American horse show interna tional jumping once its horses were accustomed to the short courses, was making good on the promise today; leading the seven nations in the national show. The Irish won Wednesday night's event, the first part of the three-day low score competi tion, to give them their second victory in the three events jumped so far. Two more events were scheduled for today, one in the afternoon session and the other tonight. In overall team scoring, Ire land led with 26 points, the United States had 0, Britain 10, Mexico 8, Argentina 2, and Chile and Canada both were scoreless. Campbell Sets New World Speed Record Lake Conistan, England HP) Water speed king Donald Cam bell today drove his jet-powered Bluebird to a new world record of 239.062 miles an hour today. Campbell made two runs over a measured one kilometer (0.621 miles) course. On his outward run he clocked 260.1 miles an hour, and on the home run 218 024 miles an hour. The average 239.062 bettered his previous record of 225.63 miles per hour, sett last year. Campbell, 36, a daredevil who says speedboats are his "only loves," had waited for three days for favorable conditions to make the attempt. After the early morning mist lifted, he took the Bluebird out of mirror-like Lake Conistan. California accounted for near ly six per cent of the total milk produced in the United States during 1956. This was accom plished with only four per cent of the nation's dairy cows. The average production of milk cow in the state was 43 per cent above the national average. LOCKING PAVES THE WAY George Washington University halfback Ted Colna (2) takes advantage of teammate Marion Hoar's (64) blocking to sweep around end against Boston for a 20-yard gain at Washington, D. C. Boston's Amelio DiNitto (10) can't stretch quite far enough to nail Colna. Boston won, however, 7-0. AL HALIMI UNDISPUTED BANTAM BOXING CHAMP Los Angeles (1PI The world's bantamweight crown, possibly worth more than ever before in history, headed for France to day, firmly placed on the brow of Alphonse Halimi, a pleasant faced little French-Algerian. Halimi, a pre-fight underdog, took the undisputed crown Wed nesday night when he won a split decision from Raul Macias of Mexico and spoiled a Roman holiday for some 20,000 Mexi cans at Wrigley field. For the victory here, Halimi Duck Game To Be on TV Portland (IP) The Oregon Washington football game here Saturday will be telecast region ally, it was announced today. The game starts at 1:30 p.m. (pst). Officials had been hopeful of a crowd which might surpass the record 36.885 which saw Oregon State play Southern California. A throng of upwards of 30,000 still is expected. The Ducks could cinch a tie for the PCC title with a win over the Huskies. OCC Teams Have Non-League Tilts By UNITED PRESS The Oregon Collegiate Con ference football season is over and Southern Oregon is the champion but the players aren't hanging up their spikes. All five OCC teams go into action against non - conference opponents with the champs and Portland State getting the tough est tests. Southern Oregon plays host to the strong Seattle Ramblers, an independent club, and Port land State goes up against Lin field, the defending Northwest Conference champ. Other games sent College of Idaho to Eastern Oregon, Lower Columbia JC to OCE and Hum boldt State's JV's to Oregon Tech. RECORD WINNER RETIRES Harrisburg, Pa. (IP) Scott Frost, winner of the 1955 Ham bletonian and record money win ner for a trotting stallion, has been retired to stud by owner Jim Camp of Shafger, Calif. Scott Frost earned $310,000, a record for a trotting stallion, and third best on the overall trotting roster. INSURED AGAINST SPUTNIK Stockholm, Sweden HP) Jit tery sponsors of next year's Eu ropean track and field meet aren't taking any chances on a possible financial loss. They have taken out insurance at the cost of 20,000 crowns ($4,000) against world war, Asian flu, general strike and Sputnik II. In case the meet is cancelled because of any of these catastrophes, the sponsors will receive 2.5 million crowns ($500,000). "Make mine 7 Crown" ft SEAG8AM-DISTIUMS COMPANY. 1Y.C. BUMflED collected $50,000 in cash, plus all his expenses, which totaled 22 million francs. Better In Paris Macias, already a wealthy man took home something more than S30.000, awaiting final counting on a gate of approximately $200,000, plus national-televised receipts. If the two should meet again, the gate possibly would be somewhat less, but they possib ly could draw better than $100, 000 in Paris. As for the fight itself, it couldn'.t be rated as a thriller. There were no knockdowns and not once was one of the battlers hurt in any way. Halimi, fight ing out of a crouch, kept bor ing in and slamming hard lefts to the nose and ears, then low ering his sights to the midriff. The Frenchman was landing an average of three blows to one for Macias. Tony Arana Backing Nub Corvallis (IP) Coach Tom my Prothro moved reserve half back Tony Arana into Oregon State's fullback slot Wednesday to back up Nub Beamer. Prothro said reserve fullbacks Jim Stinnette and John Horrillo were out with injuries and may not play against California at Berkeley Saturday when the Beavers go up against former Oregon State assistant coach Pete Elliott for the first time. CLOSE Al Balding, Cana dian PGA champ, shoots out of the rough on the 16th fairway at the San Diego (Calif.) $20,000 Open. He ended the day with a 64, one over the course record. His closest rivals both shot 133 for two days of play. WHISHT. 86 WOOF. 65 GUJI KUTUl 5PI8ITS. S SF Park Site Of Opener In National Cincinnati, Ohio HP) Trouble already is brewing among Na tional league teams over the J.958 schedule. The league office announced Wednesday that the 1958 season will open on Tuesday, April 15, with the new Los Angeles Dodg ers meeting the new San Fran cisco Giants at San Francisco in one of the four openers. Chicago will be at St. Louis, Philadelphia at Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh at the World Cham pion Milwaukee Braves in the other openers. Not Pleased Neither the Cubs nor Card inals were pleased to learn that the Braves will complete their 11-game series in St. Louis and Chicago by late July. The league, in fact, reportedly took "under advisement" a St. Louis com plaint that its games at home against the Braves would be completed July 20. This complaint and other mat ters pertaining to the new sched ule will have to be dealt with before the official 1958 sched ule is announced in December or January. Huskies Bolster Attack for UO Seattle, Wash. (IP) Coach Jim Owens sent his University of Washington Huskies . through kicking and passing drills Wednesday in an effort to bol ster the Husky attack before facing Oregon Saturday. Owens said a good battle was developing between Bobby Dunn and Al Ferguson for the starting job at quarterback. GAME CANCELLED A football game scheduled Saturday between St. Mary's and Talent high junior varsity teams has been cancelled, it was reported by St. Mary's school. Store Hours: 8:30 a.m. 1 Brand Hew! WXSMXA M .. fa $1.00 Dow "I" V . g0ance IZf pu ii ' Mgesrom mm ... - Thursday. Novemker 7. 1957 e hunting and FSshSng Southern Oregon By MEL It mayfbe of some satisfaction to the local hunters who saw the thousands of ducks and geese heading southward to learn that they didn't stop in the lush rice fields of the Sacramento valley. Most Oregon hunters figure that when the shooting is poor here, our neighbors down that a'way are having a field day but in the present instance this is not the case. Having just returned from there I can testify that if any thing they have less birds than we have. I drove through the heart of the hunting territory and when I only saw two small bunches of geese and three or four flights of ducks in the air, I inquired about the hunting. "What hunting!" was the wry answer, 'You fellows must have all the birds up there." There are some flocks in the refuge but in relation to what I have seen in former years there are no birds at all. The question naturally arises as to just where the birds have gone. MUCH TO BE DESIRED For some time now organiz ations such as Ducks Unlim ited have stated that the bird population is on the increase but for the past four years the hunting on the Pacific flyway has left a great deal to be de sired. There are opinions as lo . what flyway the ducks are usings including the one about 30 miles at sea but no one seems lo have seen this big migration and some are now wondering, if there axe as many ducks and -geese as is reported, are they going non stop right into Mexico and the market hunters? SCRAWNY DUCKS Jack Barr, a former Medford hunter who now makes Grants Pass his home, reported that a short time ago they ran into a tremendous flight of incoming ducks in the Klamath area. A strange thing about the ducks ac cording to Jack was the fact that while all the ducks in their lim its were either mallards or pin tails they were very poor which would seem to indicate that either they had traveled a long way without feeding or the feed where they came from must have been very scanty. Whatever the answer, "there are plenty of hunters who have favorite spots which always pro duced well until this year and now they are working for every bird they get. Of course the sea son is still young and let's hope the 'big northern flights" which we hear the old timers talking about will put in their appear ance and stick around for awhile. LESS THAiTNORMAL RAIN The chalky condition of the Rogue sure put the kibosh lo Ihe fishing. The boats which were limiting on steelhead headed for the dock after a dry run in the murky water. The weather predictions for the next thirty days are for less than normal rain and if this proves true the sleelhead ing will be fine all during this Riverside Medford Phone SP 2 OPEN MONDAY 'TIL 9:00 P.M. to 5:30 p.m. MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN REES month and don't forget that this is the last month on Ihe Rogue for this year. SMITH. CHETCO GOOD The salmon fishing on both ' the Smith and the Chetco rivers j has been reported as good. This j is the right time for the Smith river fishing. Some local fisher men go to the Smith river each year in November and spin-fish for the salmon from the shore. From the tales they tell this must be some he-man fishing. Big lures are the bait used. Noticed that the Umpqua river had one of its worst summer-fall steelhead seasons in many years. Most of the experts were moan ing slightly about the lack of fish or their unwillingness to bite. I hear that there are plenty of silvers in the Agness section of the Rogue. A: little rise in the Illinois river and there ought to be some good fishing there. This is one sport that isn't too well patronized because of the con flicting interest in the hunting season but it's good. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE By United Press The New York Rangers, sparked by two fiery Frenchmen from Quebec, held undisputed possession of first place in the National Hockey league today for the first time in 16 years. Phil Watson's suddenly-aroused skaters pulled two points ahead of the idle Montreal Canadiens Wednesday night by downing the Toronto Maple Leafs,. 4-2. Not since their last pennant winning year 1941-42 have the Rangers reached such a loft height at this stage of the cam paign. And their biggest heroes once again were left wing Ca- J mille Henry and substitute goalie Marcel Paille. AMERICAN LEAGUE By United Press The Providence Reds have scored 14 goals in their last two games to move into second place in the American Hockey league but they still can't pick up any ground on pace-setting Hershey. The Reds, who whipped the Cleveland Barons, 6-3, Sunday night, continued their goal-getting spree Wednesday night by trouncing the Buffalo Bisons, 8-1. The victory moved Provi dence into second place, one point ahead of Rochester. However, Hershey rolled to a 5-0 victory over the Springfield Indians to increase its first place spread to 11 points. It was the Bears' sixth straight triumph. Rose Bowl Scene Of Grads' Party Portland (IP) University of Oregon alumni hope they have picked an appropriate place to hold their pre-game party before the Washington football game here Saturday. It will be held in the Rose Bowl of the Multnomah hotel. mm 3 0 3 5s (ss) vr o
