Antonelli
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. Billy Joe Patton was
the latest to turn the trick -on
the sixth hole during the
1954 tourney.

Washington, Cincinnati Win;
Orioles Pull Off Triple Play
By MILTON RICHMAN
United Press International
Washington and Cincin
nati were living it up in first
place today and they can both
dream, can't they until
nightfall, anyway.
Generally picked to finish
last, the Senators broke on

while the Reds got off wing

Annapolis, Md. (UPD It
might be "at least a month"
before the U. S. Naval Acad
emy picks a new head foot
ball coach to succeed Eddie
Erdelatz, a source close to

day. Erdelatz sprang a major sur
prise Wednesday when he sud

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.
The heavily-favored Ca
nadiens came up with a pair
of third-period goals by Mar
cel Bonin and Dickie Moore
to deflate the upstart Leafs
Thursday night in the opener
of the best-of-seven series.
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.

Frank Robinson drove in
three runs with a homer and
a single and Bob Purkey hurl
ed a six-hitter against his

to make Mayo Smith's man
agerial debut with Cincin

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

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.

the game commission liber
ated 201,000 kokanee

will fill in the slack period
when the trout in Willow

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.
GOOD LUCK!
