Phoenix Assumes Widest PCL Lead By GENE BRYANT United Press International The season-long scramble for first place in the Pacific Coast league looked to be at an end today, at least tem porarily, as the Phoenix Giants moved out to their widest lead over the rest of . the pack since the campaign began. Bobby Prescott slammed a solo home run in the 10th in ning Wednesday night to give the Giants a 3-2 victory over the faltering Vancouver Mounties, who fell to third place by virtue of the loss. The win gave the Arizonians a 3Vfc game lead over second place San Diego and a 3-1 series margin in the five-game set with Vancouver which ends tonight. The Padres slipped by Van ' couver in the standings with a 5-4 decision over Seattle, their fifth straight win and the Rainiers' 13th loss in a row, a PCL high this year. Bees Break Loss String In other games, Salt Lake broke a five-game losing string against Portland when tne Bees coasted to a 6-1 vic tory in the nightcap of a twin-bill after the Beavers had won the opener, 2-1. Spo kane made it four straight over Sacramento as Bob Milliken limited the Solons to six hits while his team mates pounded out 14 safeties for a 6-0 victory. Prescott's game - deciding blast at Vancouver, his 21st homer of the season, climaxed a three-hour marathon which saw the Canadians push across a pair of runs in the ninth to deadlock the score at 2-2 and send the game into extra innings. Prescott also tripled and scored the Giants' second run of the evening in the eighth. Phoenix used three pitch ers, while going through four Mountie hurlers. Joe Mar goneri, who came on in the ninth, picked up his fifth win gainst three setbacks. Joe Hatten, who was greeted by Prescotfa homer in his only inning of work, was charged with his sixth defeat 'against seven triumphs. The Mounties threatened in the bottom half of the 10th when Ray Barker and Bill LaJoie both singled, but La Joie died on third when Mar goneri got Jim Brideweser to ground into a force play. Padres Come From Behind San Diego came up. with Trout Angling In Rogue River Reported Slow Portland (UPD The week ly report of fishing conditions prepared by the Oregon State . Game commission by regions: Southwest: Trout angling In North Umpqua is fair to poor. Lemolo, Toketee, and Soda Springs reservoirs are fair. A few sea-run cutthroats are in the lower Umpqua river. Salmon fishing at Winchest er bay remains good. Chinook fishing on the lower Coquille river is fair in the Prosper area. Trout angling is slow in nearly all parts of the Rogue basin and no improvement can be expected until the weather cools. Fishing defin itely slow at Fish lake in Jackson county. " , LOOK!

Dave Pope paced the winning rally with a two-run homer, while Eddie Basinski drove in the two Rainier tallies with a four-bagger. Bud Podbielan went the .distance for the Pads to pick up his ninth victory against seven defeats. Ed Winceniak drove in both Portland runs in the first game with a bases-loaded sin gle in the sixth. The win, Port land's sixth in a row, moved the Beavers into a temporary fourth place tie with the Bees, who promptly sent the Rose City club back to the second division with their easy vic tory in the finale. Salt Lake scored two runs in each of the first two in nings of the second game, then added another pair in the sixth to give Bill Hardi- son his sixth win. Luis Mar- quez homered in the seventh for Portland's only run. The opening-game victory went to the Beavers' Larry Jansen, who is now 8-9 on the season. At Sacramento, the Indians scored three runs in both the seventh and final innings to break up a tight pitching duel between Milliken and the Solons' Pete Mesa.

I: UPD For the first time in history a foreigner Alex Olmedo of Peru may represent the Un ited States in Davis- Cup ten nis competition, it was learn ed today. Perry Jones, non-playing captain of the U. S. team, gave the tip-off on this possi bility when it was disclosed he has asked Olmedo and Ham Richardson of Arlington, Va., to play as a team in next week's national doubles championship at Chestnut Hill, Mass. The request, which was agreed to, was taken to mean Jones is thinking of using Ol medo and Richardson as the doubles combine when the U. S. team invades Australia in December. Olmedo, a Peruvian who lives in Los Angeles and at tends the University of South ern California, is eligible for the U. S. team under the reg ulation requiring three years residence. He is reigning U.S. intercollegiate champion and has been improving rapidly in tournaments this year.

Coast-to-Coast League Talked Chicago (UPD Formation of a coast-to-coast collegiate athletic conference to replace the Pacific Coast Conference in the Rose Bowl was dis cussed Wednesday night by athletic directors of several schools. Schools which might be in cluded in the new conference are Army, Navy, Miami Fla., Pittsburgh, Southern Cali fornia, UCLA, Air -Force Academy, Syracuse, Washing ton, Notre Dame, California and Stanford. Among the more prominent athletic directors taking part in the informal talks were Slade Cutter of Navy, Tom Hamilton of Pittsburgh, Jess Hill of Southern California and Wilber Johns of UCLA. The discussions arose in conversations between the di rectors and other football not ables who were in town to at tend the football game be tween the College All-Stars and the Detroit Lions in Sol dier Field Friday night. No concrete ideas were voiced. Nationalists Score Victory in Fight With Red Planes Taipei (UPD The Chinese Nationalists, scoring their first air victory in more than two years, shot down at least two and possibly three Russian made MIGs over the Formosa Strait today, it was an nounced here. A Nationalist jet did not re turn from the dogfight 14 miles south of the Matsu Is lands, officially because it was crippled by "engine fail ure." Search craft found no trace of the missing jet. One Communist pilot para chuted into the sea. A race between Nationalist and Com munist patrol boats seeking to be the first to reach him de veloped into a running gun- fight. Gunboat Sunk The Communists won the race, but the Nationalist De fense Ministry said one Red gunboat was sunk in the sea skirmish. An air force spokesman said crewmen of a U. S.S. destroy er escort saw "at least two" Red jets crash in flames. A third MIG was "missing from its flight formation" when it returned to the Red-held main land, the spokesman said. Au horitative Chinese sources said flatly that three Commu nist planes were destroyed in the dogfight, .but the spokes man could not confirm the third kill. Eight MIGS tangled with seven U. S.-made Sabre jets in the third air battle reported so far in Nationalist China's "vest pocket war." The C6m munists shot down two Na tionalist planes in one earlier encounter, and the Red Radio said today they damaged two more in a clash Wednesday. The Nationalist air force had said no damage was suf fered on either side in Wednes day's battle, which involved 10 MIGs and two Sabres. Edward Scripps' Are Parents of Son Denver (UPD A six-pound, five-ounce son was born in St. Joseph's hospital here Wednes day to Mrs. Edward W. (Ted) Scripps. (The infant, Edward W. Scripps Jr. is the great grand son and namesake of the founder of Scripps - Howard Newspapers." Mother and child were re ported doing well. The father is a member of the Rocky Mountain News editorial staff here. From 1860 to 1890 the Pennsylvania oil fields were the chiefs ources of petrol eum in the U. S. SPORTS Ir3iiiit5ng & Fashing Southern (Oregon By MEL Residents of the Rogue val ley are certainly among the most fortunate for there are few places that are so i close to such a variety of places to "week end" and vacation. I sometimes think that many of us axe not aware of the vast playground that is in our very backyard. Within 100 miles, which certainly cannot be consid ered any great distance in this 300 horsepower age, we have access to everything na ture has to offer from a day at the beach to some of the most primitive areas in the west. BIG FISH Within this 100 miles via Ashland and Dead Indian road is Klamath lake a lake of 40 miles with sail ing, speed boating, water skiing and offering some of the best fishing for big fish in .Oregon. Many rainbows taken here on the troll will run better than four pounds and each ' season there are fish boated that will weigh from six to 10 pounds. Harriman's resort offers cabins, trailer park and camping. Boats, motors, gasoline 1 and tackle are available. Fish Lake, Willow Reser voir and 4-Mile Lake have campgrounds, boats and motors available. Excellent cabin accommodations can be had at Fish Lake. Diamond Lake offers everything from cabins to hotel accom m o d a ti o n s. There are boats, motors, groceries and tackle avail able here with guide serv ice if desired. BACK IN HILLS Most of the above are well known to the Rogue Valley sportsman. For those who like to get back into the hills there is a campground and picnic area at McKee bridge on the Applegate. The Apple gate with its crystal clear water attracts many swim mers on these hot summer days. There are no swimming accommodations;; just the ole swimmin' hole type. About four miles above Copper on the Uoper Apple gate is a little forest camp on Carberry creek. This little camp lies at the head of the canyon. The stream has some trout fishing in it but the fish are usually small. BEAUTIFUL CAMPS There are many camps in the Union Creek area which are some of the most i beautiful in the west. Fish ing on some of the little tributary streams that flow into the Rogue is fair de pending on the time of the season. Fishing on the Up per Rogue usually depends on the game commission plant from the Butte Falls hatchery. There are camps main tained by the forest service on both the middle and the south forks of the Rogue River. Maps are available of these areas from the for est service. One look at one of these maps will show the many small streams there and most of these have trails near them so the angler who wants to be alone can certainly do so back in this forested coun try. PRIMITIVE AREAS There are four main primi tive areas here in Southern Oregon. These can be reached bv trail. Most of them are far enough back to make a horse a necessity. These little ieweled lakes offer some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. Fishing is spotty. There are some lakes where the fishing is good but others appear to be barren of any type of life. Numerous hatchery plants have been made back here by both pack train and air-. . . i - Ti aroo irom ume iu ume. . is one sure thing that when one finds a lake with fish in it it is a find, for the fish from one of , these ice cold lakes are the finest imagin able. These fish, the majority of which are brook trout, are fairly vulnerable to flies and smaller spinning lures. One ' word of caution al though it would he impossible to guarantee the fishing the mosquitos will be there ' in force, so plenty of repellent is a must. LINKED BY TRAILS Most of these lakes are linked by trails and these side trails are joined to the Pacific Crest trail which traverses the entire state from Mt. Hood through southern Oregon on into California. This trail which is maintained each year fol- A lows the crest of the Cas cades and is usually known as the Sky Line trail. REES ISOLATED This is truly a Friday to Sunday vacation land. A fam ily can pack up Friday after work and there is a place near enough to make camp before dark. The beauty of it is that this little "camp will be so isolated that one would think they were miles away from civilization. v One visitor expressed it this way, "I work 50 weeks every year so. ' I can spend two weeks where you folks live all the time!" (Bulletin Cincinnati (UPD Cincin nati Redleg Manager Birdie Tebbels, under fire for his team's poor showing this season, ' today announced his resignation at a press conference. Coach Jimmy Dykes, who managed Chicago in the American league for 10 years, was named by Gen eral Manager Gabe Paul to serve as acting manager until a new one is named. Cincinaii has lost 11 of its last 12 games and is wallowing in last place in the National league, 23 and a half games behind front running Milwaukee.

Ortega and Crawford both screamed for a shot at Akins after Wednesday night's un popular 10-round draw at Madison Square Garden but Markson wasn't impressed. Ortega, No. 1 ranking wel terweight contender, resorted to a persistent body attack that turned ninth -ranked Crawford's milk-white skin into an ugly purple. Crawford opened Ortega's right eye in the early rounds and kept it bleeding throughout the en tire fight. The referee -and - judges voted as if they had been watching two different bouts. Judge Bill Recht voted for Ortega, 7-3, and Judge Joe Eppy gave it to Crawford, 6-4. Referee Barney Felix created the draw by calling it 4-4-2 on a - rounds - basis and 5-5 on points. The United Press In ternational called it 6-3-1 in favor of Ortega.
