ferent positioitg) f or the Yankees

votes in the balloting for the
A m e r i cn league freshman

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

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.

The game starts at 1:30 p.m.

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.

Macias, already a wealthy man

If the two should meet again,
the gate possibly would be
somewhat less, but they possib
ly could draw better than $100,

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

to the nose and ears, then low

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

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.
