12 MAIL TRIBUNE, Mtdford, Solons For -Lack of Fights i By GEORGE COFFEY United Press Correspondent Washington (IP East ern "city slickers" have taken over the fight game, a couple of rough 'n ready Western congressmen complained to day. The two legislators said that if one of their boys doesn't get a crack at the heavyweight boxing title they'll put on the gloves themselves. Figuratively speaking, that is. Reps. Clair Engle (D-Calif.) and Stewart Udall (D-Ariz.) threatened congressional ac tion unless heavyweight champ Floyd Patterson gives a title shot to the winner of the April 9 Eddie Machen Zora Folley fight in San Fran cisco. Engle and Udall accused Patterson's manager, C u s D'Amato, of refusing to let the champion fight either Machen or Folley. ' Discrimination Against West This is rank discrimination against the West, they said. Machen is from Redding, Calif., pop. 11,880, and Fol ley's home is Chandler, Ariz 3,799. Engle, a college welter weight whose 156 pounds are concentrating in the middle row. branded D'Amato's stand as "Eastern city slicker tac tics." Heavy-bearded, square-jawed 185-pound Udall added that if the "big Eastern promoters continue putting the freeze on small-town Western fight ers, Congress should act to prevent such monopolistic conduct." "Why, if the last Western country boy champion had been given the run-around Patterson and his handlers have been giving contenders today, Jack Dempsey might still be stranded in Manassa, Colo.," Engle said. He said Machen is unde feated in 23 fights and is the No. 1 challenger according to National Boxing association rankings. Udall said his man is undefeated in 23 of his last fights and has only two losses . and one draw in 42 bouts. Only Logical Contender The winner of next week's fight will be the only logical contender for the champion- snip, ine congressmen agreed. They added that if neither Machen nor Folley is given a chance at the title they will prepare legislation to "set up bona fide national standards and a national supervisory t-uiiiiuisbiun wnicn will re sult in real national cham pionships not regulated titles controlled .by a few new York manipulators." "We are prepared to slug it out m Congress if Patterson and his manager do anv more shadow boxing on this mat ter after the San Francisco fight," they said in identical press releases.

April 3, 1958 Blame MedfordTribum Group Talks About Site for SF Stadium San Francisco (IP) Fran cis McCarty, president of the San Francisco Board of Su pervisors, said today a pro posal to build the Giant's sta dium downtown instead of by the shore of San Francisco Bay "could lose us big league baseball." McCarty attacked the pro posal, put forth by a group of anonymous businessmen, as being "not financially feasible." , "To start the thing all over again would jeopardize the entire project and could lose Tornado To Oppose Roseburg's Indians Here This Four seasoned seniors form the nucleus and three fresh men are among the top line candidates on the Roseburg high baseball squad which tussles Medford here Friday in a doubleheader. First of the pair of non league frays is set for 3 p.m. Ron Beamer, Dick Mere dith, Don Wells and Mike Hatfield are the veterans. Beamer and Meredith are pitchers and first basemen and Meredith also plays in the out field. Wells is a shortstop and Hatfield a second baseman. For the Medford scraps Beamer and Mike Brundage may get the mound calls. Probable catcher is Chuck Heine, a freshman. Either Beamer or Meredith will have first base duties. Third base assignment will go to Dale Myers, freshman, or SHIunfing & Fishing Southern (Oregon By MEL Only three more week ends before the big one opening of trout season April 26. The stream fishermen in Zones 1, 3 and 4 will either have to mi grate into some other zone or turn into lake fishermen for that is the way it is this sea son. Trout fishing on our southern Oregon streams does not open this year until May 24. This late opening is a move to protect the downstream migration of baby salmon and steelhead which in former years turned tail-up in some frying pan. It is hoped by the state game commission that a large majority of these fish will have moved into the lower Rogue where they will not be so vulnerable. Whether they move or not remains to be seen. In other years the excellent fishing for small trout slacked off consid erably after the first month of the season. This was either due to the fish leaving the area or that most of the gulli ble ones had been caught. BOAT ACTIVITY There seems to be consid erable boat activity in the area as preparations are al ready under way for the big opening on the lakes. It is a sure thing thai if one doesn't have in early reservations this year he will spend his time on the bank for boats of the rental variety will be at a premium. I understand that more boats are being moved in to accomodate the expected increased number of lakers but it is doubtful if even this will take care ' of the crowd. PRIME TARGETS Prime targets for opening will be Squaw lake, Willow Creek reservoir, Fish lake and of course Upper Klamath lake. Roads and snow conditions will govern to a large extent the population of the lakes for opening day. The are some prime rain bows being taken in Klamath lake at the present time. Sur prisingly enough there are very few fishermen but the hardy souls that are fishing are reporting excellent luck. One of the best spots is at the licker' us big league baseball," he said. The proposal came from Supervisor James Leo Halley Wednesday. He successfully stalled finance committee ap proval on the spending of $4 million for streets and sewers needed for Bay View Park. Bayview Park is the site now favored for construction of the $15 million stadium. Halley said he will intro duce a resolution on Monday calling for a "study of the economic feasibility" of an other site, presumably in the area south of Market street. Friday Wayne Brian, transfer from South Salem high. For the outfield the choice is among Meredith, Jeff Wood, Jack Berney and Pat Terrell. Barr May Pilch Coach Bill Harper will bring his Indian squad here with less than two weeks of concentration with it. His main work up through the recent state tournament was with the Roseburg. baseball team. Dennis Barr, who hurled four innings of effective ball last Tuesday against Ashland, may be the starting pitcher for Medford. For the second game the choice should lie among Tom Laurence, Larry Brown and Jerry Anderson. Medford jayvees were to have met the Jacksonville varsity here yesterday but wet grounds prevented play. REES lower end of the lake where it empties into Link river. Fishing this spot with spin ning lures such as the Wobble rite have produced a number of beauties. INDIAN SIGN Mrs. Lou Robertson of Galice seems to have the Indian sign on the first salmon of the season for more often than not in the last several years she has brought in the first fish and hauled away the loot of fered for the first of the season. This year was no excep tion for she copped the prize at Milo's Sporting Goods store in Grants Pass with a 22-pound chinook. SALMON RUN Several fish have been landed in the Robertson bridge section from boards anchored there. There are re ports that quite a run is in the river judging by the number that have been seen rolling. The river level is some higher this year than it was at this time a year ago and this should bring more fish up from the coast. When the wa ter remains too low they have a tendency to "keg" up. Last year was a very poor season for the big fish and it is hoped that this year will be a repeat of two or three years ago when the fishing was pretty good. Most of the fish ing now is being done from boards with "anchored" out fits. It is too early for the "spinning boys" to swing into action. WEIRD SPORT Speaking of spinning, for chinooks. This is one of the weirdest sports in fishing. When one hooks a fresh run chinook anything is liable to happen and usually does. There have been more reels ruined and more rods broken by this method of fishing than all others combined. This does not take into consideration the barked knuckles and line- cut fingers. In fact when these fish start running it is a good plan to. keep the fingers far away from the line as many an angler can testify and Moves Host Masters' Test Opens Today; Youth Favored 0 Augusta. Ga. (IP) The 22nd Masters golf tourna ment, with the younger professionals stealing the favorite's role from the old timers, was set to start to day with a reduced field of 87 golfers.

The most talked about and watched -foreign players were the Japanese twosome of To rakichi Nakamura and Koichi Ono. Boston Celtics, Hawks Meet Saturday in Fourth Tilt of National Playoffs St. Louis (IP) The St, Louis Hawks and the Boston Celtics, rivals in the National Basketball Association cham pionship playoff series a second straight season, are following the script written one year ago. Afttr three games in the 1957 title set, the Western Division champion Hawks had a 2-1 edge. Today, after three battles, Alex Hannum's hurrying St. Louis crew has a one game lead. The third game of the current playoff for the crown was played here at Kiel Auditorium Wednesday night, when 10, 148 partisan fagy cheered the Hawks to a 111-108 triumph. Another 1,628 witnessed a closed circuit telecast of the struggle in the Kiel Opera House, adjoining the Hawks' Oregon Coach Answers Charges of PE Official Eugene IIP) Oregon Track Coach Bill Bowerman said to day that a type of athletic program which emphasizes in tramural sports over varsity sports "can lead only to medi ocrity among our youth. Bowerman was replying to remarks made before the an nual convention of physical education, health and recrea tion at Kansas City by Dr. Shane McCarthy, director of the Council for Youth Fitness. Dr. McCarthy also said some varsity athletes were poor speciments of physical fitness. "Life is competitive from the moment you draw your first breath," Bowerman said. "When six individuals start out to run a foot race or sell an insurance policy only one is going to win . . ." Bowerman said he agreed with the thinking that the youth of this country is "going downhill" physically and said he always has been a firm believer in intramural sports. But, he said, "the in tramural program should be designed as the broad base BASEBALL EXHIBITION RESULTS By United Press (At Sarasota. Fla.) Pitts.

This type of fishing can best be expressed by telling of the two fellows fishing below Savage Rapids dam one eve ning.

Records Should Fail As Usual in Annual Rogue Track Relays When six big high schools of Southern and Southwestern Oregon stage the 19th annual Rogue relays at the Medford stadium on Saturday after noon, fans will expect records to tumble as usual. For it seems to be an adage of the traditional track and field meet that Rogue relay records are made to be broken. ' No less than five records were shattered last year and in the 1956 encounter eight marks were cracked by the thinclad performers. The two oldest standards on the books date back just to 19o3. Medford high and the spon soring Kiwanis club will be hosts to Crater, Ashland, Grants Pass, Klamath Falls and Marshfield. Entry of more than 150 athletes is antici pated. court Game four on Saturday now looms as a must tilt for the defending champion Celts, who still weren't cer tain about the condition of their defensive whiz and re bound king, Bill Russell, early this morning. Russell suffer ed an injury to his right an kle midway in the third quarter of Wednesday's game, went to the bench to have,, the ankle taped heavily and re turned to action for a mo ment before calling it a night. Russell had scored 14 points and gathered in 13 rebounds before his fall to the floor. His offensive and defensive work had helped Boston to a 25-23 first quarter lead and he had played every minute of the opening half which end ed in a 49-49 stand-off. and not the ultimate If I were to do nothing but train my track squad and never let them compete on their own level they'd soon lose interest and cease to im prove." Yolande X-Rays Prove Injuries Are Not Serious Louisville, Ky. (IP) --X-rays disclosed today that the neck injury which forced Yo lande Pompey to quit in his nationally - televised bout Wednesday night against Rory Calhoun was not serious. Physicians at St. Joseph's hospital, where Pompey was taken after the bout, said that X-rays showed no fracture of the bones in his neck Pompey left the hospital after stitches were taken in three-quarter inch cut opened on his left eyelid by Calhoun. "It feels like something in my neck snapped," the West Indian light-heavyweight told ring physician Dr. John Am bach when the doctor clam bered into his corner after the fifth round. Dr. Ambach then signalled Referee Don Asbury to halt the bout. Since Pompey failed to an swer the bell for the sixth round, it went into the books as a technical knockout in the sixth round. "I couldn't have gone 10 rounds," Pompey explained. "It might have hurt me worse." Sacramento Rips Southern Cal El Centro, Calif.

Medford Coach Dean Benson stated that the Tornado will have 32 to 35 boys competing. Grants Pass has been estao- lished as the meet lavorue but there are indications that Medford will make a strong showing in the bid to defend the crown it won last year.

A charge for admission will be made with a small fee for adults and a lesser one for students.
