8 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Oregon, Friday, May 30, 1958 Phoenix Basebaliers Drub Portland 8-1 By GENE BRYANT United Press International Phoenix and Vancouver, taking turns at first place in the Pacific Coast league stand ings with remarkable regular ity, meet Portland and Sac ramento, respectively, in a pair of Memorial Day double headers. The Giants resumed their winning ways with an 8-1 vic tory over the Beavers last night, gaining sole possession of the top spot in the process. The Mounties went down to their second straight defeat at the hands of Sacramento's Solons by a 5-4 score. In the only other game played, Spokane shaded Salt Lake, 2-1, to take a series lead over the Bees by the o same margin. The Bees had the added misfortune of see- Owyhee Lake Popular With Non-Residents Portland Angling intensity on the Owyhee reservoir so far this year has risen sharp ly over previous years prob ably influenced by easier ac cess and boat launching facili ties. On one day alone some 264 cars, 116 boat trailers, and three airplanes were observ ed on the reservoir which was the largest crowd of fish ermen ever tallied. The most popular areas in clude the Owyhee dam where anglers have easy access via the public boat ramp recent ly installed by the game com mission. Cherry Creek resort which has been improved con siderably by the owners, and the road between Cherry creek and the dam which has also' been improved. The Gor don Gulch State Park devel opment which started early this spring has not progressed to the )cint of attracting an glers but should be a popular area when completed, prob ably by late summer. Daily License) The daily angler's license also has had its influence on attracting anglers to this fabu lous crappie and bass haven. Game commission checks last month, show that approxi mately 35 per. cent of the anglers checked possessed the daily angling permit. The most amazing thing about this fishery is the ap parent lack of interest on the part of Oregon anglers, Ac cording to Larry Bisbee, fish ery biologist in Malheur county. Perhaps it's a little off the beaten path or too far for most Oregonians to travel. Nevertheless, Bisbee's records show that 75 per cent of the anglers checked this year have been nonresidents.

Brownlee Net Protects Fish Brownlee, Ore. (UPI) Workmen at Brownlee dam on the Snake river are at work on a novel net weaving project to keep even the smallest migrant fish from going over the dam's spill ways or through its turbines.

The net will be 180 feet deep and extend 2800 feet across the reservoir and will be located about a mile above the dam. Steelhead and salmon fin gerlings stopped at the net will go into scoop-like open ings called skimmers which will channel them into a truck loading station on i the Idaho shore.

Access to the area is via Shell road. There are no elaborate boat ramps, but the beach frontage has been grad ed smooth for easy launching. In cooperation with the game commission, Lincoln county is in the process of ac quiring Shell road in order to improve access to the site.

And the place where this "country-store" type of bally hood is paying off is Stockton in the Class C California league. General Manager Clyde M. Parker has more ideas to en tice the fans out of the ball park than the South Pole has penguins. Stockton is a city of about 80,000 population. It is only 47 miles from Sacramento, home of Class AAA Pacific Coast league baseball. It is 80 miles from San Francisco, home of the major leagueN Giants. "But neither of these clubs bother us," says Parker. "In fact, the moving of the Giants to San Francisco has in creased the interest in base ball here." Special Nights Look what Parker has lined up to entice fans out to his ball park: 1 June 21, a "Bowlers Night" which will draw as many as 6,000 fans to the park that seats only 4,500. : 2--J u 1 y 18 "G r o c e r y night," which will attract be tween 4,000 and 6,000; 3 In Mid-August, "Union night," which will draw at least 6,000 fans. Additionally he has a "Sportsman's Night," and a "Silver Dollar" night. In the latter, the players on the Stockton team walk through the stand shaking hands with the customers, as music blares from the loud-speakers. When the music stops, the person shaking hands with a ball player at that moment is given a silver dollar. Already ' the "Ports" have drawn 8,604 fans for the first 17 games, or better than 500 a game. The club has a good solid tie-up with the St. Louis Cardinals and is only four games out of first place. Good Crowds "We drew 73,000 last year with a team that finished in last place in the first half of the split season; and finished third in the second half," says Parker. "The best we've ever drawn was 110,000 right after World War II, when we won the pennant. But we might come up around that this year, if things go well." Now if the minor league executives would quit crying and go to work with a business-like campaign, as that promoted by the Ports, the talk about the small leagues dying might end.
