This time it was Dusty Rhodes' turn" at the hero role for the Arizonans as the for mer San Francisco Giant out fielder smashed a three-run homer with two out in the ninth inning to give the Giants 7-3 win over Seattle. Portland outslugged Van couver, 10-8, to drop the Mounties two games off the pace, the greatest distance the Canadians have been out of first for some time. Solon Buried . Salt Lake City buried Sac ramento, 9-1, and Spokane dumped San Diego, 5-2, in ether games. At Seattle, a throwing error by third-baseman Joe Tanner opened the door for the Giants' four-run burst in the ninth. With two out, pinch hitter Curt Barclay made it to first base on Tanner's bad throw and Felipe Alou and Andre Rodgers followed with successive singles to drive in one run. Rhodes then blasted his eight homer of the season to give" the Giants their sec ond straight win over the last- place Rainiers. Reliefer Bill Kennedy had blanked the Giants with one hit from the fourth inning un til the fatal ninth. He was charged with the loss, while Joe Margoneri, who took over in the fifth for PJioenix; gain ed his fourth win against no defeats.

Closed Course Racing Backed In Editorial New York Sports Illus trated, which featured Pat O'Connor on its Indianapolis preview cover last week be fore his tragic accident, edi torializes in favor of closed- course auto racing in its June 9 issue. Noting that Sports Illustrat ed has consistently opposed city-to-city and"" within-city automobile racing, where spectators are endangered, the editors say: "Racing drivers . . . risk injury and death, and in the last analysi- that is the moral ground on which Indianapolis must be judged. We believe they have the right, by tradi tion and present custom and by the genuine, non-ghoulish pleasure th.ey give, to run their professional risks for their professional rewards The editorial says that the "500's" record for spectator safety has been good, but points to onus on the part of the United States Auto club for having allowed Elisian to race on Memorial Day. ' Commenting that "the USAC could well review its driver eligibility rules," Sports Illustrated cites Eli- sian's (prerace) reputation for insiaDUity. riis suspension was lifted to give him chance to earn money to pay off bad debts, the magazine complains, and . "Elisian was in the race under an impera tive compulsion to get out front and win lap money, even if he could not ultimate ly win the race." Plans watched the progress of ' the suit action and prepared a legal counterattack, there was still the prospect of delaying action on the part of contract opponents. The Dodgers and city of ficials, thus, anticipated a possible extended fight, but regarded the referendum tri umph as the key to locating the ball club in Chavez ra vine.

In between storms the fishing was good, however, with one party of two men taking 32 fish the largest of which was 19 inches. BRIGHT SIDE The only bright side of the picture is that with limited fishing pressure dur ing this long week end we can look forward to a more prolonged "good angling" season. Usually after a hard holiday week end of fishing there is a slack period for a week or two. This holiday cam on a full moon and this should produce some excellent angling when the moon reaches its dark phase. ARGUMENT ON MOON This, moon phase business is still a first class subject for argument but there is a lot of evidence that when the moon is full the fishing, es pecially on lakes, falls off only to increase again when the darker phase is reached, Several times in different sec tions of the West I have fished through this period, from light to dark, back to light, and in each instance the fish ing was greatly improved dur ing the darker times. It is on this premise that the fishing calendars are made. STRANGE ASPECT A strange aspect of this slack fishing during the full moon is the fact that at cer tain times during this per iod' the fish will hit like mad. This period of intense activity may last for one half hour or one hour or longer then it will stop just as suddenly as if some one shut off the valve. When it will happen has , not been ' determined or why. It does happen '-and this gives rise to the ttieory that the mon makes no dif ference, for right during the very brightest part some lucky angler will have ter rific fishing and of course pooh-pooh the whole moon idea. TOO SCIENTIFIC Extensive work has been done on both the moon phase ana water temperature in their relationship to success ful angling but if a fellow gets too scientific with his fishing he won't have much fun. Wouldn't it be terrible to get the urge to go fishing and then have to stay home be cause all the conditions were not ideal? ANGLERS SCORE- Medford anglers are sure ly hitting the lop spots for big fish at Upper Klamath lake. This past week Clive Powers of Medford took an 8 '2-pound rainbow using a freak lure. Frances Steven son of Phoenix ran a close second with a fish weighing 712 pounds using en Andy Reeker. : ( Other anglers scoring on the big boaifd at Harriman's Resort were John Hender son, Medford, 6V2: D. E. Mahoney, Los Angeles, 43A: Marion Judd of Sportsman Park, 4; and C. C. Sullivan, Medford, 4 pounds. A new club has been SPORTS FACTS In a NEW FEATURE!

REES formed over in that area called the Harriman's Re sort Lunker club. It seems that these big fish catchers had trouble convincing the folks at home that they really connected with such fish so now a certificate will be issued and witnessed by the Resort with a picture attached of the fish and fish erman. This should take care of the situation and besides I understand that this certificate is a mighty decorative little piece for the den or living room. HOPE FOR FUTURE I thfink that ' the lower Rogue, that is in the Grants Pass to Galice area is just about as bad for trout fishing as the game commission hoped it would be. The water low ered and cleared enough for the boys to test it with every thing in the tackle box and outside of a few cutthroat tak en in the deep holes on cluster eggs and worms, the fish are are mighty small so I guess the others went downstream out of the main fishing area. It is hoped that this experi ment will produce some good steelhead fishing when these youngsters return from their ocean voyage.
