'Wednesday night they turn ed 4-1 and 3-1 decisions over Lewiston to increase their league lead to a game and one-half. In other action, Yakima took Wenatchee 11-4 and Eu gene nipped Tri-City 4-3. Ron Fahnestock and Arley Alderman teamed up to tame Lewiston in the opener and in the nishtcaD Bailey Brem came on in relief to save it. Brem chucked four score less innings after starter Chuck Lybeck was taken out when hit by -a line drive. Eugene tallied three runs in the seventh to edge Tri- City. Carl Voles and Chuck Hiller contributed . one-run singles during the uprising. Cal Bauer led Tri-City with two hits. Ken Bracey, who entered in relief in the seventh, took credit for the victory. Sacramento, Calif. - (UPD Matchmaker Jackie King has signed former world light weight champion Lauro Salas to meet Joey Lopes at Sac ramento's Memorial auditor ium May 19. 10 MY Yanks Show Old Robust Look in Beating Athletics By FRED DOWN United Press International Patient off critical . . . ate heartily Wednesday night . . . may soon be up and around first division. That's the latest clinical re port on the New York Yan kees who dined on Kansas City under moon Wednesday night and look ready for tougher meat. Two victories over the Ath letics don't constitute a pennant-clinching, of course, but the Yankees did have that old robust look when they bowl ed over the KC cousins, 7-4. Their two three-run innings were their biggest rallies since April 21. Their run-total and 12-hit total were their largest in 13 games. And they connected for more than one homer in a game for the first time since April 29. On Way Up In all it was enough to dem onstrate that the worst is over even if the climb toward first-place contention may be slow and difficult. The Yan kees are in seventh place but the fourth - place Chicago White Sox are only two games away and even the first-place Cleveland Indians are only 5V2 away. The Indians slipped back toward the field one full game when they bowed to the Baltimore Orioles, 6-5, the Washington Senators whipped the White Sox, 6-4, and the Boston Red Sox crushed the Detroit Tigers, 17-6, in other AL games. The Milwaukee Braves retained first place with a 5-4 victory over the Los Angeles Dodg ers, the Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 3-0, and the St. Louis Cardinals shaded the Philadelphia Phil lie, 8-7, in National league ac tivity. Allison Hits Grandslam The Yankees wasted no time flexing their muscles. Tony Kubek led off with a homer and doubles by John Blanchard and Gil McDoug ald plus a single by Bill Skowron routed Bob Grim be fore a man was out. Norm Sie- bern greeted Ralph Terry with a double that made it a three-run inning and came back in the next frame to blast a three-run homer after a single by Blanchard and McDougald's double. Milt Pappas picked up nis third win for the Orioles de spite a ninth-inning Cleve land rally in which rookie Ray Webster hit a three-run homer off reliever Billy Loes. Bob Allison's grand - slam homer in the seventh inning enabled the Senators to score their ninth win in 11 games and complete their best west ern trip in 10 years 7-2. Battle of Homers The Red Sox beat the Ti gers in a battle of nine hom ers and thus handed Jimmy Dykes his first defeat in his new managerial post. The Braves completed the first phase of their 1959 schedule exactly even with their 1958 pace-12 wins and 7 losses-when pinch-hitter Wes Covington singled home the winning run in the eighth inning. Dave Hillman, 31-year-old "hard luck" pitcher, tossed a two-hitter as the Cubs beat the Pirates for the second straight game. Stan Musial's first homer of the season and 399th of his career and a two-run pinch double by Joe Cunningham were the big blows as the Cardinals rallied with four runs in the eighth inning.

Senior Angler In Oregon 99 Years of Age Portland - Age is no deter rent when it comes to hunting and fishing. From the young est to the oldest this form of recreation is enjoyed b y thousands of Oregonians each year. Each year, thousands of youngsters purchase hunting and fishing licenses for the first time to join the growing ranks of hunters and anglers. These youngsters are the up and coming hunters and fish ermen of tomorrow who will be enjoying the sport for many years to come. It is with profound interest, though, that each year the game commission looks for the pioneers and elderly Ore gonians to apply or renew hunting and fishing permits. This is the group with many years of hunting and fishing enjoyment behind them, vast experiences, and often the tellers of fascinating tall tales. But, although enthusiasm "is great and the spark glows bright, time slowly thins the ranks of this avid group of outdoorsmen. Records disclose that many have passed 70 and a hundred or more beyond the 80 mark. It is when 90 summers have passed that the ranks become noticeably thin. This year so far, four out doorsmen beyond the 90 mark have applied for their 1959 angling licenses. The young sters of this select group in clude W. L. Wheeler of Dex ter and James L. Braden of Tillamook, both 93 years young. A. L. Snyder of Albany writes that he just passed his 94th birthday and in his own words, "My eyes are still good, and so am I." The senior member among these enthusiastic anglers is George Wyatt, 1220 E. 9th Street, The Dalles. George Wyatt at 99 is just one year away from celebrating his centennial birthday.
