Newspaper Page TextAntonelli Will Start For Giants St. Louis, Mo.-(UPD-San Francisco' Giants put their National league pennant chances on the line here to night -when they tangle with the St. Louis Cardinals in their official opening game of the season. Manager Bill Rigney has nominated lefthander Johnny Antonelli (16-13 last year) as the starter. For the Cardinals, Manager Solly Hemus has named Larry Jackson (13-13 last year). The two doubtful spots in the San Francisco lineup are at shortstop and right field. Rigney says that he will start Andre Rodgers at short and "Willie Kirkland in right. But the manager admits they may not be there long. No Nw Faces If Kirkland fails to hit he'll be replaced by Felipe Alou; and if Rodgers has trouble with his fielding andor hit ting, the man waiting for the job is Eddie Bressoud. There isn't a really strange face in the whole San Fran cisco lineup. The newest man is Jackie Brandt, who will start in left field. The big change in the Giant infield is the shifting of Daryl Spencer to second base. Daryl was one of the top shortstops in the league last year, but moved to sec ond this season for the good of the team. Sophomore Jim my Davenport will be at third and Orlando Cepeda, 1958 Rookie of the Year, at first. Bob Schmidt will catch with Kirkland, Brandt and Willie Mays in the outfield. Veeck in Favor Of Unrestricted Baseball Draft Detroit (UPD Archaic rules will keep the New York Yan kees on top of the American league until the other club owners band together and come up with an unrestricted draft, Bill Veeck said here Thursday. "We've made it just as sure as possible for one club the Yankee s to dominate the league," Veeck said. An unrestricted draft would open up minor league talent since a club would be able to protect only a relatively small number of its players. Veeck, co-owner of the Chi cago White Sox, also called for an interleague schedule, a proposal backed by Detroit last winter, whereby Ameri can and National league clubs would play each other during the regular season with the re sults counting in the league standings. ACES AT MASTERS Augusta, Ga. -(UPD- There have been six holes-in-one in the U.S. Masters golf tourna ment.

Naval Acad emy picks a new head foot ball coach to succeed Eddie Erdelatz, a source close to Academy affairs indicated to day. Erdelatz sprang a major sur prise Wednesday when he sud denly resigned after nine years as Navy coach, climax ing a growing dispute with certain Academy officials over athletic policy. HOCKEY NATIONAL LEAGUE Montreal (UPD The Mon treal Canadiens are off in front in the Stanley Cup hockey finals with a 5-3 win over Toronto on "last-period power.

Neither team covered itself with glory in the somewhat lacklustre first game.

Pedro Ramos blanked the Orioles until two out in the ninth whAi .Gus Triandos hammered a two-run homer. The Senators, however, clinched the game with a four run burst in the fourth in ning that included two-run homers by Harmon Killebrew and Rene Bertois off loser Jack Harshman. Washington, which wound up the 1958 season with 13 straight losses, collected 14 hits and stole four bases. The Orioles committed three errors but turned in the first triple play in Washington's 59-year opening day history in the fifth inning. With Roy Sievers on sec ond base and rookie Bob Alli son on first in that frame, Ed Fitzgerald lined to first base man Bob Boyd, who threw to shortstop Chico Carrasquel to double Sievers. Carras quel's throw back to Boy nailed Allison for the triple killing. Purkey Tames Pirates Frank Robinson drove in three runs with a homer and a single and Bob Purkey hurl ed a six-hitter against his former Pittsburgh teammates to make Mayo Smith's man agerial debut with Cincin nati a success. Robinson slammed a two- run homer in the fourth in ning and singled home an other run in the fifth, much to the delight of 32,190 fans who turned out for Cincy's home opener. Purkey, a 17 game winner last season, yielded the Pirate's only run in the third on a single by Hank Foiles, a sacrifice and Rober to Clemente's , single Ronnief Kline started for the Pirates, gave up seven of Cincinnati's eight hits and de parted in favor of R.

(UPD Don Hutson, Green Bay's greatest pass-catcher, became the first end to win the National Foot ball league scoring champion ship when he tallied 57 points during the 1940 season. let us give you an estimate PORTS 4--I0-59 ml A METE CONCRETE C? 248 E. McAndrews Rd. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank The cold nights have done more than just spoil the morn ing view of our fair valley, they have brought the "water temperature down to below the 50 degree mark and the salmon have stopped moving upriver. It remains to be seen whether or not the run of spring chinook will amount to much this year. The flood of '55 could have had an ad verse affect on the run, but this depends on several fac tors; such as whether or not the majority of the run is made up of four year fish, and whether or not the flood ing waters did damage to the spawning area while the eggs were in the gravel or while the young fry were unable to fend for themselves. THE NEW LOOK 1959 will bring many new things and among these is a fishing hoi which promises to become one of the best in southern Ore gon. Howard Prairie reser voir will have about 10,000 acre feet of water in it when trout season-' opens this year and someday will hold 62,000 acre feet when it is full. The game commis sion has planted 75,000 rain bow; trout and plans on an additional stocking of 750, 000 some time this year. BIG FISH POTENTIAL One reason for optimism regarding Howard Prairie is that the lake has a resident population of small fish call ed dace. These fish grow to about 5 inches long but do not have the breeding char acteristics of the roach and therefore will not infest the lake. One difficulty with raising really large trout in a lake is that they turn canni balastic at a certain size and unless there is a tremendous amount of food available they eat their own kind. It is hoped that the dace in Howard Prairie will supply food for the larger trout in somewhat the same manner the Kokanee are used as a forage fish in Lake Pend Oreille in Idaho. Pend Oreille trout grow to record size and though we can't hope for this from How ard Prairie we can expect to catch big fish in a few years. HELP AT WILLOW CREEK On Tuesday of this week the game commission liber ated 201,000 kokanee salmon fry in Willow Creek reservoir. They were plant ed with the hope that they U D Z Ul l 111 H U DOOR PRIZES 1 Transisrer Radio 2 Folding Aluminum Tables 1 Electric Drill Kit 30 Marfax Lubrications 2 Patio Lounging Chairs 3 6-volt Electric Lanterns 5 Wind-Proof Umbrellas COME TWICE Drawings Sat. & Sun. en the Hour Nothing to Buy We Give Doube NORTHERN GREEN STAMPS SATURDAY AND SUNDAY ONLY DeVoss will fill in the slack period when the trout in Willow creek go into their summer sulk. They came from the McKenzie hatchery and if they lake and eventually spawn we will have a local source for any future need of this fine tasting little game fish. These fish will be catching size next year and a 9 to 12 inches long when ihey mature. POND BEING BUILT The game commission's Rogue valley management area is beginning construc tion of a pond which will play a large part in the con tinued long range plan of de velopment for the area. This pond will be on the lower end of the string of ponds which parallel Gregory road. It will have 11 surface acres and is expected to hold 40 acre feet of water. The dam will be nine feet high and 700 feet long. Maximum depth of the water will be eight feet and it is to be stocked with bass, bluegill and catfish. A park ing area is planned near it to provide easy access and it is expected to be ready for fishing next year. HAVEN FOR BIRDS The management area also has as part of its plan the development of the area as a feeding and nest ing place for upland game birds and migratory water fowl. There are 28 acres planted with grain for the birds and it is hoped that the grain and the ponds will attract the ducks and geese which at one ' time ?ade up a small flyway orough the valley. The area is being developed for our enjoyment and has a resident caretaker to con trol the use or abuse we may give it. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER It may seem hard to be lieve but there is a report of a fresh run of steelhead com ing up the Klamath river and a couple of bright fish were caught by Hornbrook last week end. The run is sup posed to be downriver some place and so far just strag glers have been caught. There is another report of some hot bass and bluegill fishing in military slough; so if you have your lawn mowed and your garden planted, there still is some fishing excite ment if you care to find it.
