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 300.000-sauare foot net
is composed of plastic, wire
and cable strands woven by
Idaho Power company crews
working from a fleet of, spe
cial boats above the dam. 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. Tank trucks will carry
them 12 miles down stream
below the site of Oxbow dam,
now under construction below
Brownlee, where the fish will
resume their seaward jour
ney.

Jim Beecham
Takes on Webb
In Video Bout
Miami Beach, Fla. (UPI)
Local boy Jimmy Beecham
hopes to keep his chin moving
enough tonight to outpoint
hard-punching Sp'ider Webb
of Chicago and thus spoil the
record of another ranked
middleweight.
The 10-round 'bout is ex
pected to attract 3,500 fans
and will be televised nation
ally NBC beginning at 6 p.m.
(PST).
Webb, a stalking knockout
artist, will enter the ring as a
2-1 favorite over the Miam
ian. The sixth-ranked Chicago
fighter also' expects to carry
a five-pound weight advan
tage, about 159 pounds to
Beecham's 154.
Took Notes
. Beecham' and his capable
trainer, Angelo Dundee, took
notes recently when Holly
Mims won a decision over
Webb. Beecham has beaten
Mims.
"We spotted some, weak
nesses and believe Jimmy has
a good-chance of taking this
one," Dundee said. "But we
will have to keep that chin
moving to avoid getting tag
ged by Webb's right."
Whether or not Webb lands
his lethal right, Beecham is
sure to keep him busy look
ii g lor an opening. In 29
fights, the Miamian has out
pointed ,'16 opponents and
knocked but only seven. He
has lost five and fought one
draw.
The first conference of the
Southern Methodist Church
was held in Batesville, Ark.,
in 1836.

Site at Depoe
Portland Coastal salmon
anglers will no longer have
to by-pass Depoe Bay for lack
of suitable public boat launch
ing and parking facilities. The
Oregon Game commission has
converted the" entire south
beach area into a large park
ing and boat launching site,
culminating several years of
negotiations to provide an
gling access in the popular
Depoe Bay area.
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

quiring Shell road in order

Good Promotion Pays Off
For Stockton Diamonders
San Francisco (UPI) Mi
nor league baseball isn't
dead it just needs some
good, old-fashioned promotion
to keep up with the times.
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.
