More Research On Fish Sought By Legislation Salem-(UPD-The joint House and Senate fish and game committees discussed two measures designed to promote more research on fish here Wednesday. House Joint Memorial No. 5 asks Congress to appropriate more funds for basic fish re search. It says construction of dams Is being held up for lack of adequate research. Senate Bill 416 would place a $1 license fee on salmon and steelhead with the money earmarked for joint research by the Oregon Fish and Game commissions. J. M. Sellers, representing Columbia river salmon and tuna packers, said he thought sports anglers would not ob ject to the tag and should be paying something to help re lieve the pressure on fish re sources. In answer to a question, Sellers said he thought com mercial fishermen likewise would go along, with an in crease in commercial licenses earmarked for research. Game Commissioner Phil Schneider was a little dis turbed because the money would be used jointly. He said this might undermine the Game commission's license structure and affect funds re ceived from the federal gov ernment. John Amacher, Winchester, said the $1 sports tag would raise about $200,000 a year. He advocated that the ways and means committee restore cuts in the Fish commission budget to make sure the tag money could be used for addi tional research purposes. Sen. Andrew Naterlin D Newport, acting as chairman of the joint session, said both the bill and the memorial would receive further study. Prep Basketball TUESDAY GAMES Class B Tourney Joseph 42.

Gibson, of Chicago, presi dent of Jim Norris' National Boxing enterprises, was sched uled for a New York confer ence with middleweight cham pion Robinson who claims to be negotiating both for him self and for light heavyweight ruler Moore. Would Gibson attempt to out-bid young Rosensohn of New York, who Thursday had offered the fabulous guarantee of a $1,000,000 gross gate if he could stage the Moore Robinson fight at Yankee Sta dium in September? That was the big question. Largest In History Rosensohn's guarantee was the largest ever offered in ring history. It exceeded the $600,000 guarantee given by the multimillionaire Zecken dorf family to Rosensohn last Tuesday for his decision to stage the Floyd Patterson Ingemar Johansson heavy weight title fight at Yankee Stadium, June 23. A gross gate of $1,000,000 for the Moore-Robinson fight would provide a net gate of about $850,000 after federal and state taxes and fees of ring officials are taken out. And it's from the net gate that fighters always are paid. Rosensohn guaranteed 60 per cent of the net gate to Ar chie and Sugar Ray to be di vided as they saw fit. Robin son said he and Moore had agreed to split 30-30. Thus, each would receive about $255,000, if their total 60 per cent was $510:000. In addition they would split I 60 per cent of other net re ceipts from television and ra dio, although Sugar Ray would have a separate deal for the movie rights.

PETERSEN UPI Sports Editor Miami, Fla.-JPD-Paul Rich ards jumped on the Detroit bandwagon today, calling the Tigers "the only club in the league which has improved" and the only one with any real chance to beat the Yan kees. The manager of the Balti more Orioles isn't optimistic about his own club's chances. "Our kids are still a year or two away, he pointed out. I don't see any club in the league which has improved except Detroit. I don't know whether they will catch the Yankees, but I figure they have the best chance." He thinks Ray Narleski and Don Mossi "will be a big help" to the Tigers. "Last year they hurt for re lief pitching," Richards said. "That bullpen weakness meant the Tigers had to go too far with their starters. Narles ki and Mossi could change that." Needs Hitting He rates his own pitching as "strong.' "We need hitting," he add ed. "And you can't buy that. You just have to wait for the kids to develop." Just as he said that, Dave Nicholson, one of the highest priced bonus players in the game, belted one out of the park. "The kid can't miss," Rich ards declares. "All he does is flick the ball and it goes out of the park. But like so many of jour youngsters, he needs more experience. "I just wish I had 30 Nicholsons around." Nicholson, an outfielder, is only 18. The Orioles paid a re puted $100,000 to sign him. "When you see a kid like him you have to be optimistic about the future. You just have to wait for them to de velop and you never know how long it will be. Kids Not Ready "Our farm system is start ing to produce. But we're in the same position as Kansas City and some other clubs. Our kids aren't ready yet and no club will sell an established star for cash. So until the kids are ready we just have to go along with the best available. You don't win pennants with the kind, of players available on the market today.
