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.

Reported Slow
Portland (UPD The week
ly report of fishing conditions
prepared by the Oregon State

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

Seattle had moved into a 4-2
lead with a pair of runs in
the top half of the frame.
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. Jim Baxes
slammed a two-run homer in
the seventh and Jim Gentile
poled his 13th four-bagger
with two aboard in the ninth

Peruvian May
Be Picked
For Yank Team
Newport, R. 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.

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-.

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!"

Outstanding College Prospects
Vie in Shrine Gridiron Game
Portland Football's fin
est hour, the 11th annual
Shriners' hospital all-star
game, will bring together
Oregon's outstanding college
prospects in a colorful grid
iron spectacle Saturday night
in Multnomah stadium here.
The 8:30 p.m. kick-off will
be preceded by an hour of
pageantry, featuring more
than 2,000' uniformed march
ing units.
The contest, which has net
ted the Shriners' hospital
more than $240,000 since its
inception in 1948, pits the
State all-stars against the
Metropolitan all-stars. Lee
Gustafson of South Salem is
coach of State and Tom De
Sylvia of Portland's Jeffer
son high heads the Metro
coaching staff.
State, boasting a galaxy of
hard-running backs and a big
forward wall, will be out to
avenge a 28 to 7 defeat hand
ed them last year by the
Metros. It was the first win
for the Metros since 1950.
Swift Backs
Gustafson has several swift
backs that he hopes to break
loose from the Metro defend
ers, including Steve Picard
of Seaside, Val Barnes of
South Salem, Rickie Lamb of
North Marion (Woodburn) and
Marvin Tyler of Lakeview.
For power runners he has
Hardy Spurgeon of Coos Bay,
a 210-pound ground gainer,
and Gary Yates' of Lebanon,
another 210-pound yardage
gainer.
If the Staters are forced
to take to the air, they can
call on a pair of capable toss
ers in Quarterbacks Jim
Smith of Grants Pass and
John Wilson of Albany.
There is plenty of heft up

Ortega and Crawford both

Markson wasn't impressed.
Ortega, No. 1 ranking wel

Judge Bill Recht voted for
Ortega, 7-3, and Judge Joe

Referee Barney Felix created
the draw by calling it 4-4-2 on

Los Angeles (UPD Ex
tennis star Gene Mako and a
group of wealthy friends were
convinced today the Las
Vegas odds of 7-1 favoring
Floyd Patterson over Roy
Harris were "strictly for the
birds."
Mako,- former national dou
bles champion, and his asso
ciates were still trying to bet
$100,000. that Harris wins the
heavyweight title from Pat
terson at Wrigley Field Mon
day night. '
And they were willing to
wager their one hundred,
grand against $500,000. They
were not asking that Patter
son supporters follow the Las
Vegas line and put up $700,
000. When sports writers called
certain prominent sportsmen
in Las Vegas and asked if they
had heard of the Mako offer,
they said they had but that
no one in Las Vegas handles
bets of that size.
