Dairy Maids Tussle Florists Tonight in Regional Softball Forest Grove Rogue Val ley Dairy Maids hope that the old adage, "third time's a charm," will be working for them here this evening. The Maids, who won the Oregon championship (for teams outside of Portland) re cently, oppose the Erv Lind Florists of the state's metropo lis tonight in the first round of women's regional Softball tournament. It will be the third meeting In two seasons between the two clubs but the first in a tournament. Lind won the other two brushes, tipping Rogue Valley 3 to 0 earlier this summer and 3 to 1 in 1957. While the southern Oregon nine takes a 17-5 win-loss rec ord against ladies' teams into the tourney, the Florists will draw from the greater experi ence against generally tough er competition. Four Other Teams Four other teams are con testants in the double elimina tion tournament which con tinues into Sunday. Host For est Grove Medowlarks, the 1957 state champs and this year's hostess club, plays the Tacoma, Wash., Grayettes in tonight's other game. The Port Angeles Eagles, Wash ington state champions, and Seattle Bellview Ramblers in a first round fracas on Friday Tacoma and Forest Grove are foes at 7 o'clock tonight with the Maids and Florists to follow.. Winner of the regional will be eligible for the national meet in Connecticut. blurting & Fishing Southern (Oregon By MEL REES Ducks Have Talent for Pass Game -. University of Oregon, Eu gene It goes without saying that Oregon's great game against Ohio State in the 1958 Hose Bowl game was largely dependent on an effective passing offense and with open ing 1958 drills just days away, it appears certain the Ducks will. have the ends to make such a passing game go again. Three lettermen returrt for Coach Len Casanova, includ ing ail-American candidate Ron Stover at right end, while a talented non-letterman and four rookies make up the rest of the end crew. Stover, the Rose Bowl sen sation who caught 10 passes against an Ohio State aerial defense to set an all-time Bowl record, and his running mate at left end, junior Alden Kimbrough, make up the best set of ends on the coast. Strong Support They will have strong sup port from a pair of rangy replacements, senior letter men Pete Welch at right end and junior Greg Altenhofen at left end. The reserves will come from Fred Siler, a con verted halfback; Paul Bauge, a converted freshman full back; sophomore Ron Ander on and an all-conference transfer. Len Burnett of San Diego JC. Stover, of course, is the key performer. Before, his tre " mendous effort against the Buckeyes he caught 24 passes during the regular season to rank second in. the PCC. Stover does an aggressive job of blocking and tackling to further add to his value to the team. Kimbrough is the Duck's replacement for J. C. Wheeler on the left side, a quick, rangy offensive end and a solid man on defense. Welch, as Stover's replacement last year, devel olped into one of the league's better defensive ends after earlier work at fullback and center. Altenhofen's progress last spring 'stamps him as a real asset to the club this fall. COLLEGIANS UPSET LIONS Gene Gedman (26) of the Detroit Lions makes a short gain before being dropped by two Ail-Star tacklers in first quarter of College All-Stars-Detroit Lions game at Soldiers Field in Chicago. The All-Stars won, 35-19. MedfordWTrlbune SEPCDIETS New Era of Closed Circuit Television May Result From Patterson-Harris Title Bout By JACK CUDDY Los Angeles (UPD Irving B. Kahn said today the' fi nancial success of the Floyd Patterson-Roy Harris heavy weight title fight will usher in a new era of regional, as well as national, theater tele vision in boxing. Kahn, president of the Tele PrompTer Corp., predicted that henceforth the managers of champions and contenders in various divisions .will in- Medford's Craterian theatre tnade the best show ing percentagewise in the country for attendance at closed circuit television pre sentations of the Floyd Pat terson Roy Harris boxing bout Monday,. Theatre Man ager Robert Corbin was in formed by TelePrompTer TV firm. Corbin said that all but about 100 seats at the Cra terian were filled for the fight. Sale of tickets prior to Monday at the Craterian was not encouraging. Cor bin said, however, that there was a big call for tickets at the box office the night of the fight. The theatre manager said that success of the Patter son - Harris presentation through the country is in dication that TelePromp Ter may go ahead with plans to telecast a variety of other sports activities through the nation by the closed circuit means. TV reception was clear at the Craterian on Mon day and th bout appeared to go over big with the fans. RON FAIRLY MOVED UP Des Moines, Ia. (LTD The Los Angeles Dodgers have moved bonus baby Ron Fair ly from Des Moines in the Class A Western league to St. Paul in the Triple A American association. Fairly batted .297 for Des Moines and had 13 home runs. vestigate the possibilities of closed - circuit TV purses be fore signing for important matches. He explained, "The Patterson-Harris fight at Wrigley F,ield Monday night was one that had been generally un derrated by the public, sports writers and oddsmakers. Yet, Patterson's purse from all sources will approximate $311,000 and Harris will get his guaranteed $100,000." Battled Handicaps The fight was a "cold prod uct" that was hard to sell be cause of champion Patter son's year-long inactivity and Harris' comparative obscuri ty. Roy never had fought out side of Texas and never on television of any kind. And the bookies made challenger Roy a 6-1 underdog. "Because of the fight's suc- CRATER LAKE MOTORS' I A SAVE 5250 on English Fords! NEW ANGLIA TUDOR ONLY 55) (5)00 per month j 35 Miles Fer Gallt CRATER LAKE MOTORS ? in Fir cess in the face of innumer able handicaps, I'm convinced that the time has come for TelePrompTer to try o es tablish a continuity of attrac tions by staging four or five big fights each year on a na tional closed circuit basis and to put on several less im portant bouts on regional hookups," Kahn said. Accordingly, Kahn said he would begin "immediate ex plorations" of possible matches involving Patterson, light - heavyweight champion Archie Moore, middleweight ruler Sugar Ray Robinson, welterweight King Virgil Akins, and lightweight cham pion Joe Brown. Won't Promote Bouts "Let me make it clear," he emphasized, ."that we of TelePrompTer will not be the promoters of any fights; but we will cooperate with any promoter including the International Boxing club that can make and stage big time matches. And we will help with guarantees for the champions, at least." Concerning regional closed circuit rights, he explained that a bout like next month's Los Angeles match 'between welterweights Carmen Ba silio and Art Aragon could have been piped to theaters in three or four Far-Western states "with" good profit to all concerned." West Selects Grid Captains Pendleton (UPD The West team has named four co-captains for Saturday night's seventh annual Shrine bene fit football game at Round-Up stadium here. Dennis C o d d, Tillamook quarterback, and Leroy Noff singer, Yoncalla tackle, will be offensive co-captains. De fensive co-captains will be Don Smith. Nehalen lineback er, and Bill Peterson, Powers guard. Beavers Retain Tommy Heath Portland (UPD President Arch Kingsley of the Port land Pacific Coast League baseball team said today that Tommy Heath, manager and general manager Bill Bren ner, assistant general mana ger, would retain their posi tions3 next year. N Bob Sloan of Harriman s resort reports that the fish ing continues very good with many Rogue Valley anglers on the big fish board with trout weighing over" four pounds. The fishing in Upper Klamath lake has had the longest sustained run of real ly good fishing in recent years. Part of this is prob ably due to the fact that the lake was kept high for the early part of the season while some work was being done on tne dam. in tne early season Sloan predicted that the mid summer fishing should be excellent and this prophecy has certainly come to pass. A partial list of the giant rainbows taken includes; Ed Kidwell, Portland, 8 pounds, 5V2 pounds; E. L. Niederman, Grants Pass, 73,4. 9. 7Vz; Jerry Hamann,' G r e s h a m, Ore., 5V2 (his wife Helen showed who was the fisher man in the family with three fish, 8, 4 and 4); Darrel Smith, Medford, 4V2; Ha ward Ferns, ledford, 6V4: Don Braund, Central Point, 4V2, 5Vz, 5V; Fread Neal, Myrtle Creek, 6i, 5V4; K.

Keith Henagin, Medford, 63,4; John Overand, Ashland, 8; Edwin Boardman, Central Point, 6; Pat Low, Central Point, 4V4; Arnold Aring 5 of Ashland; Dave Clover, Ashland, 4Vi. FISH TAKE IMPROVES Lloyd Morris of Fish lake resort says that the fishing there is improving. There aren't too many fish ermen but those who are going out are bringin' back some nice fish. One rain bow of 5 pounds was taken using worms down deep. Most of the fish have been Brook trout in the 2, 3 and 4-pound class taken on fenders with green flatfish trailing. Willow Creek reservoir is reported as better than fair and last report from Four-Mile lake was that it was producing pretty well. FISH ON BOTTOM Warm "water has kept the fish on the bottom according to Johnny Koch of Diamond lake but with the weather cooling off this situation should improve. Some anglers have limited but the fishing has been somewhat on the slow side. Gang troll and flies-, or still fishing with worms has been the best method. BEST FISHING COMING It should be kept in mind that we are entering the best fishing time of the season for all these high lakes. Strange enough most folks will hang their rods Jets Hold 4th Alone in Loop United Press International Benny Daniels spun a four- hitter Wednesday night to give Columbus a 5-0 decision over Miami and move the Jets into sole possession of. fourth o 1 a c e in the International league. ' Buffalo laced four Toronto pitchers for 15 hits to defeat the Maple Leafs, 16-0, behind the five-hit hurling of Fred Hahn. Havana and Richmond split a doubreheader. Rogilio Al- verez gave the Sugar Kings a 2-1 verdict in the opener with a two-run seventh inning hom er and Richmond took the nightcap. 10-5. Rochester and Montreal olaved a 13-inning 2-2 tie. The game was called by rain. Since 1916 the number of miles of railway line in the continental U. S. has declined steadily, from 254,037 in 1916 to about 225,000 miles as of 1950.

KENTUCKY up come the f irsl part of September but actually the days are nicer ' and the fishing excellent during this last part of the season. Last September the fish ing was simply tops in Dia mond during the month of September. The fish come to the surface and hit a fly like a ton of TNT. Fish lake and Willow Creek reservoir also produce very well in the late season. So, don't give up because August treats you badly Septem ber will more than make up for it. ' SHINE UP GUN Many sportsmen are shin ing up the old scattergun for the first of the month open ing of dove and pigeon sea son. To date I haven't heard of any concentration of birds but this is to be expected for many times they come in only a few days before the season opens and there have been years when the . birds didn't come in until the last couple of weeks. There are a few good places in the two counties where fair to good dove shooting can be had for the first few days of the season. We do not have the extensive migrations of some sections of thecountry but limits are not uncommon here for the first week. Our pigeon shooting is con centrated in just a few areas and most of the "pigeon shooters" know all about these. Such names as 8-Dol-lar, O'Brian, Panther gulch and Dryden are quite well known and probably will be well patronized this year as in former years. Rogue River Trout Luck Still Slow Portland (UPD The weekly report on fishing conditions by regions as prepared by the State Game Commission! Southwest: Summer steel head angling is fair to good in the Steamboat area with best results in the early morn ing or late afternoon. Trout angling in Lemolo, Toketee, and Soda Springs reservoir is fair. Trout angling in the north Umpqua is poor to fair. Salmon angling at Winchester bay is good. Chinook angling is fair to good on the lower Coquille river from Prosper to Bul lards bridge. Striper . fishing at Coos Bay is fair in the north and Haynes inlets. Trout angling is slow in nearly all parts of the Rogue river basin and no improve ment is expected until cooler weather. Angling is slow at Fish lake in Jackson County. Central: Good catches are being taken at Olallie lake by trolling deep and slow with spinner and worms. Low er Hood river is very good for. small rainbow. Trout fish ing on the Deschutes in the Maupin area is improved. Steelhead on the lower Des chutes is improved with good results reported from the mouth and at Kloan East and Paulina lakes have been fair with late evening trolling. Crescent lake is poor. Blue lake is very good. Late afternoon and evening fly fishing has been very good on the upper Deschutes river for river and rainbow and browns. Steel pipes in the Pentagon building would reach from Chicago to Indianapolis or about 200 miles.
