Vancouver and Phoenix, virtually tied for first place, although the Mounties have a .005 percentage edge, both loit a chance to gain on the other when Sacramento de feated the Mounties, 5-2, and Portland edged the Giants, 8-7. S p o n made it two straigh over third-place Salt Lake City with a 9-8 victory, the same score the two clubs ran up Tuesday night, and cellar-dwelling Seattle shaded fourth-place San Diego, 6-5. Port Tgnd, victimized by Phoenix seven straight times recently, scored eight runs over the first four innings and staveS off a determined Giant assault foe its win. Phoenix Wenatchee Chiefs Gain On Drones BY UNITED PRESI INTERNATIONAL The Wenatchee Chiefs pull ed to vithin two games of the league-leading Lewiston Broncs Wednesday night by edging Salem 9-8 in the Sen ator' home park. Lewiston at the same time was losing a 14-inning 9-7 de cision to the Tri-City Braves. In the league's other con test, the Yakima Bears went right on winning, beating Eu gene 5-4. Wenatchee took advantage of four first-inning runs off trtr Len Temple in its vic tory ovtr 5alem. The Chiefs sewei up the win when win ning pitcher Ken Mallory beli4 a 378-foot homer with two aboard la the seventh. Hchr b Kufui Johnson and Jlftrm Lrwia were the de ciding vtnch in Yakima's wia ever gugene. Johnson got his in the aecond inning and Lew is eltmmed his in the fourth. Julh came with the bases o TriClty eame on in the 14th inning to acere two runs for its victory in which Jim Vo gelsang went the distance on the mound for the Braves. Thornton Kipper was the loser in the marathon after pitch ing the entire route.

Stltttt-Wttia DISTILLERY, Fitzgerald Rd., LouisvilletKy., Estab. 189 scored three runs in the sixth and two more in the seventh to make it close, but reliefer Bill Henry shut out the in vaders over the last two in nings to save the victory. George Freese homered for the winners and Roger Mc Cardell hit the Giants' only four-bagger, far below their usual output. At Sacramento, Carlos Paula smashed a grand slam homer in the bottom of the ninth to even the Solons series with Vancouver at one game, apiece. Paula came off the bench to pinch-hit for Jim Greengrass and promptly lined the first pitch over the left field fence. The Solons scored their first run in the ninth when Nippy Jones sing led home Al Heist, who had gotten on base via an infield hit. Russ Heman had allowed the Sacs only three hits until the ninth but 'the one pitch sent him down to his fourth defeat. Marshall Bridges gain ed the victory, his sixth against two losses. Bob Jenkins and Glen Gor boug paced Spokane's 13-hit attack with homer apiece to give Dick Hanlon his sixth win of the season. Carlos Ber nier, leading PCL hitter, con nected safely in his 36th con secutive game and Dick Stu art hit his 18th home run for Salt Lake. Sam Miley chipped in with a pair of round-trippers but the Bees could never manage to overtake the win ners. The walks with the bases loaded at Seattle proved cost ly for San Diego, letting in the tieing and winning runs for the Rainiers. Hal Wood eschick, who relieved starter and loser Dick Brodowski dur ing Seattle's ninth inning rally, gave up the successive passes after the Rainiers had loaded the bags on a single, error and an intentional walk. The victory went to Marty Kutyna, his fourth against five defeats. Earl Averill homered for the losers while Vida Pinson put one out of the part, for the Rainiers.

Competition will continue through June 29. There will be rivalry in team, singles and doubles bowling and all events. A mixed doubles tournament will run concurrently. Lanes Proprietor Fred An derson stated that the tourney promises to be the biggest one so far with more than 100 men's and women's teams planning to participate. A number of local entrants will be mixed in each week and, generally, team events will be on Saturday evening with doubles and singles on Sunday. Schedule Told Teams will come from Cres cent City, Calif., Grants Pass and Klamath Falls this week end. Bowlers will come from Cottage Grove, Myrtle Creek and Roseburg on June 7 and 8. Schedule for June 14 and 15 calls for bowlers from Eu (Hunting & Flshini Southern (Oregon By MEL General fishing picture for the past week has been a good one. Many anglers .limited within the first hour of the open season on the many streams in this end of the state. Water conditions were ideal with the exception of the lower Rogue from Gold Ray dam downstream where high murky water conditions prevailed. Actually this section of the Rogue was in no condition to evaluate whether the main schools of young steelhead and salmon had moved down stream (as the game commis sio.i hoped) or rot. Usually these fish move about this time of the season anyway? so, it is possible that with the con tinued high water this season may pass without this ques tion being answered. CHANGE IN DIET Fishing on the lakes stacked up about as follows: Fish Lake The hatch of black ants has been consumed and the fish are looking for a change of diet. The lodge there reports that the fishing has greatly improved and some really nice fish are being taken. Fish up to 18 or 19 inches are not" uncommon. Still fishing with worms or eggs is still the best producer, however some nice catches have been made using flatfish and fender 'n worms. Willow Creek Reservoir Fish are running unusually large this year with most of them stretching over the foot mark. Fishing has improved and several limits reported. Harriman's Resort, Klam ath Falls Fishing in this favorite spot has come into it's own according to Bob Sloan, manager of Harri man's. It took a Medford man to ring the big bell this past week. Earl Stephenson using a silver Wobblerite boated a rainbow weighing nine pounds! Some other big fish were taken by the following; Walt Bickerton of San Diego, Calif., 4V2; J. J. Stines of Pueblo, Colo., 4Vz;C. L. Judd Jr., U.S.A.F., 63A, J. J. Judd Sr., of Harriman's, 534; H. E. Rouss of K. Falls, 4. With ideal weather condi tions in prospect, this com ing week end should be a good one. Squaw Lake Reports in dicate that the small lake is tapering off somewhat but the larger lake seems to be on the increase and some very nice limits are being taken from there. SOME INFO OFF When writing a column of this type I am of course very dependent upon the informa tion received from returning fishermen, phone calls and the like. It would be impossible to visit each spot each week and find out the information first hand (but who wouldn't like to)!

TRUE PICTURE I received a letter from Helga Mitchell of Jackson ville, Oregon, this past week in which she pointed out some discrepancies in reports con cerning Squaw Lake. Since receiving this letter, I have investigated and find that she is indeed right and that the information I have received from time tp time concerning this lovely little lake have been somewhat erroneous. This is the true picture as I have found it: Heavy Plantings of Large Fish There were 3,000 fish approx 7 inches planted just before the fishing in vasion of last July 4. In the fall there were 25,340 fall thinouts planted, which ac cording to Cole Rivers, game commission biologist, should reach legal size by the latter part of this June or July. Be sides this there were about 80,000 fingerlings planted in the little lake. The above could hardly be expected to constitute a "planting of large fish!" Late Season Warm Water This has been a popular theory for many years around these parts. Actually the lake does warm up a bit within the first 6 to 8 feet but below this depth it is too cold for comfort. Mrs. Mitchell re calls that on a warm day last August a professional skin diver from Roseburg went to the bottom of the lake to re trieve a motor. The water was so icy lhat "he didn't warm up for the rest of the day!" The Fish Get Wormy Late In The Stason I heard this many years ago when I first came to Southern Oregon. This was actually true many years ago when miners threw their deer skins in the lake. It was also true when the lakes were stocked with Mon tana black-spotted cutthroat trout. According to Rivers, these fish had a tendency to become wormy late in the sea son. However, Rivers now states that since they have planted the lakes with native rainbows they have never en- i countered a wormy fish. REPUTATION RESTORED - It is difficult to drown a story once it has a good head start but I hope that the readers will realize from the foregoing that these ideas which have come to be ac cepted by a large majority of the fishing fraternity are not now true. This Squaw lake is one of our most beautiful lakes and certainly deserves a beautiful reputation. Personally, I have fished the lake several times and found nothing in the way of bad fish. It is true that I have never fished this lake late in the season. I am happy to help rehabilitate the reputation of Squaw lake and am thankful that Mrs. Mitchell brought this to light.

Moyer-Mueller Mix Postponed Portland (UPI) The 10-round middleweight fight here between Phil Moyer and Peter Mueller of Germany was postponed Wednesday until Monday night, June 16. The fight was originally billed for next Tuesday night in the Portland Civic audit orium. The postponement was de cided upon at a meeting of Mueller, Ben Harris, chair man of the Portland Boxing commission; Fred Sommers, co-manager for Mueller, and Portland Promoter Tommy Moyer. The Mueller camp asked for the postponement to give the German fighter a chance to "become acclimated" to Portland.
