10 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or. Friday, May 1, 1959 PortIand6rs Eye First Home Tilts Portland -OT- The weath er man forecast possible showers today as the Port land Beavers prepared to play San Diego in a day-night doubleheader at Multnomah stadium to open the home baseball season. Portland, which has a 5-9 record after the first two weeks of PCL action, planned to send Ken Johnson (0-2) and Howie Reed (2-0) to the mound. United Press International Four home openings are on tap in the Pacific Coast league today and tonight as action resumes after, time out for a day of travel. First place Sacramento in vades the home of last place Vancouver, Phoenix is at Spo kane, Salt Lake is at Seattle for a pair of games and San Diego goes at Portland, also in a twin bill. Both Sacramento and San Diego are well out in front of the pack so far, but both clubs have notched their records playing only on their home lots. The league structure could change considerably in the next couple of weeks while the Solons and the Pad res are on the road. Senators Top Chiefs Br United Press International Ron Fahnestock threw a solid six-h'itter Thursday night to lead the Salem Sena tors to a 6-1 Northwest league victory over Wenatchee in one of two games played. Tri-City belted Eugene 10 6 in the other, and the Yak-ima-Lewiston game at Lewis ton was rained out. Fahnestock was in no trouble and the only Wenat chee marker came in the fourth on singles by Dick Wil son and Al Owen and Mike Yaremchuck's sacrifice fly. Hutsier Hits Carl Hutzler belted a two run single in the. first for Salem. The Senators got an other pair in the second and two more in the sixth with the big clout a triple by Tommy Wright. - Hal Norris was touched for 11 hits but coasted home be hind a 13-hit Tri-City attack. Joe Sparks belted a two-run homer for Eugene in the seventh but the Braves wrap ped it up early with nine runs in the first two innings. Norris fanned eight and walked but one to pick up his second victory of the year. Lionel Hebert Leads Colonial Fort Worth, Tex.UPD-Lional Hebert, the Louisiana larrup er whose putting in recent months has been "the worst in my experience," led the Colonial National invitation golf tournament by a stroke today as the select field turn ed into the second round. The chunky, 31-year-old member of the Hebert golf ing brothers clipped three strokes off Colonh. s -7.000- yard par 35-35-70 layout Thursday and it earned him a one-stroke lead over veteran Ted Kroll of Sarasota?

Great lakes freighters often carry more than 50 million tons of coal during an average season. ... FOR VACATION FUN? You may not catch the biggest fish, but it's a sure bet you'll enjoy yourself more . with . all the money you need jingling in your pockets. " Cc TSult us NOW! , 50 to 1500 FURNITURE - American Finance Corporation 123 West Main Phone SP 2-6201 Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank Spring is here and the trout are biting; all seems right with the angler's world, but before we become too lost in the plans for all the successive fishing trips we're contem plating, let's take a look ahead. Next week is conservation week and though we may think we have it pretty good now, the outlook for conser vation weeks in future years doesn't have such a rosy glow. There are prophets of doom who are " predicting water shortages in another five years, that will make this year's supply seem like a su perabundance. Every year the watersheds are thinned out some more. ' The population keeps growing and these peo ple also will use the resources of the world just as we do. Right now we are facing air pollution, water pollution, and soil pollution; with very few people concerned enough to do more than write letters to editors or complain to their friends. As yet the public has little realization that our health-giving world is being slowly but surely-ruined on a vast and penetrating scale by people who - think that the individual little bit of damage they are doing isn't going to hurt anybody much. . EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS The fad of the matter is that we are being robbed and don't know it yet. When conservation becomes eve rybody's business and it is realized that the life-giving qualities of the air, water and soil are important to all of us. our children, and our children's children, then and only then will these problems become fewer and smaller. Southern Oregon is for tunate in having its prob lems in small doses as yet, but the outlook is that they are gelling bigger and that soon our natural resources will be beyond saving . in their present form. Our only hope is to organize opposi tion to the' destruction of our yet abundant resources and conserve them so that they may last for the many generations to come. This is possible only if we believe the values of woods, water and wildlife are worthwhile values and. are willing to do something about conserving them. - DOING SOMETHING The conservationists in Ore gon who are already doing something about it number approximately - 5,000. There are over a half-million anglers and hunters fn Oregon who derive pleasure from the use of these resources and as yet they seem unwilling to get to gether to work for things in their own behalf. They should be reminded that those who abuse the resources have long been organized and are .quite willing to use collective effort and money in order to main tain their abuse. When we can muster enough strength to change abuse to wise and con tinued use and when we can accept the restrictions this will entail; then we will have moved a step further in civil ization. THE BONANZA HOLES. Opening day was a " re warding' one for many an glers on Squaw lakes and Willow creek reservoir. The average catch per angler at Squaw lakes was 7.3 fish and 5.0 fish per angler at Willow creek. According to Cole ' Rivers, our local fish biologist, this is the highest average ever recorded on . an opening day in this area. Cole also reported thai this is the first time that rain bows were the predominant species caught at Willow and , this means that the planted fish are surviving' CAR - SALARY DeVess in good numbers. The larg est fish were hard-fighting cutthroat and quite a few anglers tied onto one of these scrappers. THE ANGLER'S LOG What follows is a brief run down on how things have been at the various resorts and it is hoped ,it will help some fishermen in their expecta tions and preparations: SQUAW LAKES - Cat fish have been biting good. Trout are spotty as to when and where. The little lake is producing trout best on a green flatfish. The big lake fish seem to prefer ford fender and worms. The road is. in good shape. WILLOW CREEK-The lake has been full of boats all week. Ford fender and worms or green flatfisa are consist ent producers. The hottest lure at different times is the Metal, fly. Limits in a half hour. LAKE OF THE WOODS Started out good but the nasty weather slowed things up all week. Favorite lure is ford fender and worms and a slow troll. Reports of dead fish in the shallows. Nobody knows why. KLAMATH LAKE - Nasty weather but a few good catches t on Saturday. ; The mouth of Harrimans creek is producing two pounders. Fa vorite lure is ford fender and worm trolled slow on a short line. Biggest fish went to Steve Stevenson of Phoenix, a six-pounder on a Freak. Swede Erikson of Grants Pass caught a three and three-quarter-pounder on FF and W. BIG BUTTE CREEK -Some .fishermen drew a blank and others had a field day. Depends on the fisher man. ELK CREEK - Slow for some, good for. others. A few cutthroat but nothing too good. ' UPPER ROGUE-Reporls of a. few steelhead up to 15 pounds. Wow! Pretty slow in the upper tributaries. ' KLAMATH RIVER -A few steelhead and ' large trout in the 4 to 5 pound bracket. Gen eral trout season opens in California this Saturday. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER According to reports so far, the salmon run for this year doesn't look too good. If there is a small run (the parent run was very small four years ago) I would like . to see the river closed to . salmon fishing above Sav age Rapids dam just for ' this ; year. An emergency closure would give this run a chance to increase itself at a low cost to the angler. It's worth a try, and I am willing to forego fishing for salmon in the upper river for one year in the hope of - building up the run. We still have, plenty of trout. '. to catch.

Dellinger, a former Oregon distance star from Springfield who : is now an Air Force lieu tenant, held the lead until the home stretch.

Jones said he was reluctant to give up a chance to win a third straight Kentucky Derby and wanted to "buy" 43 additional hours in which to reach a decision. - Since - he , released . Steve Brooks who' does most of the riding for Calumet. Jones did not have a jockey for On-And-On. He denied a report he had contacted Ismael Valenzuela, who subbed for injured Willie Hartack a -year ago and won with Tim Tam. Another stable had been in touch with Valen zuela but later changed its mind. -Explains Action Why, after saying . the colt "wasn't seasoned enough" for the Derby, did he change his mind? , "I- didn't like his workout the other day and decided to take him out," Jones explain ed. "Then I saw the complete workout list and nobody had a good work. iAnd when he was so frisky Thursday morn ing I decided to put him' back in." The entry of Oh-And-On raised the field to 18 starters and many trainers worried about its size. "You have, to worry about it," said J. H. (Casey) Hayes who trains . the favored First Landing for Christopher T. Chenery. ' "My . horse has enough speed to stay out of any trouble at the start but some of the others don't. You don't know another man's horse but we both know the one you are talking about when you bring up some pretty rough characters in it." One of" the "rough charact ers" is Open View who can j wander all over a race track. Others- Bad Actors Atoll, running mate for Open View in the 85th Ken tucky Derby and one who very easily . could go to the front at the start, has no lily white record either. Tomy Lee, second choice in the second richest of all Derbies, had a habit of going wide on the turns as a ju venile Our Dad is another "bad actor." But steward Lincoln Plaut was ' not concerned with the possibility of a rough race. "Just look back over the record and you will see the Kentucky Derby down through the years has been a very cleanly run race," he said.
