Q MAIL TRIBUNE, McdforJ, Or. PriJjy, July 10, 1959 Mounties Edge Irri ,wted Indians; Bragan Booted For Beef in Wild Panel Br DON BECKER United Press International Battling Bobby Bragan, the former Pittsburgh and Cleve land pilot who has his hopes for a new shot at a big league managership, has lost none of his zest for scrapping with umpires. Bobby didn't use a water pistol, lay down on the field bring soda pop to the umpires or send up five pinchhitters in a row without having any take a swing, but he still got booted out of last night Spokane-Vancouver game. Bragan took the umpires, to task in the seventh inning Going into that frame, Spo kane held a 5-2 lead. Indian pitcher Chuck Churn got the first batter out, but then pinch hitter Wayne ' Causey singled. When the fourth ball was called on the next batter, Barry Shetrowe, Bragan and Churn moved in for a dis cussion. 28 Minutes Later Well, it was 23 minutes before that half inning was completed. Part of the time was devoted to giving Bragan the boot and then it took awhile for the roof, to crash in on the Indians. Churn took over for Bragan in the heckling department after Bobby was tossed and he himself shortly 'got the boot. After the dust had cleared, Vancouver had five runs and the wherewithal for a 7-5 win. In other games, Sacramento nipped San Diego 4-3 in 11 innings; Phoenix crushed Salt Lake, 12-6 and Portland de feated Seattle 3-1. After Churn was ejected, Ben Wade came in to pitch and he hit Ray Barker to fill the bases after retiring one batsman. Joe Durham singled to right to drive in two runs Goodwill Loses Main Topmast In Yacht Run Los Angeles-fCPD-The 161 foot schooner Goodwill, set ting a record - pace in the Transpacific Yacht Race from here to Honolulu, has lost its main topmast in winds. The accident probably will cut down the large craft's speed as much as 50 per cent, according to a spokesman for the 21st biennial event. Good will was more than half way to Honolulu at the time of the accident. The Ralph Larabee yacht out of Newport Harbor, Calif., Thursday was reported 60 miles east and 100 miles north of the position reached in the same time by the. record-setting ketch The Morning Star in 1955. Morning Star sailed the 2,225 -mile distance in 9 days. 15 hours and 5 minutes. No One Hurt Goodwill reported Thurs day night the loss of the main topmast but said the main mast had remained intact and that no one was injured. The mast was lost 1,080 miles out of Honolulu. --- Goodwill had been -taking an increasing lead daily since the start of the race Saturday. At roll call Thursday, Good will's lead had been length ened to 110 miles - over its closest rivals, Arnold Has kell's 65-foot yawl Chubasco and Baldwin M. Baldwin's 72 foot yawl Escapade, both from Newport Harbor. Winners ! among the 42 yachts competing will be de cided on a handicap basis. The following yachts leading in the handicap positions: . Jada, Naul II, Chubasco, Skylark, Criterian, Maruffa, Kioloa, Escapade, Marilen and Friendship. Then more fun began. Joe Frazier walked to load the bases and Phil Paine came in to pitch. Paine got mad when his first pitch to Jim Finigan was called a ball. Drops Return Throw He showed his irritation by dropping the return throw from catcher1 Norm Sherry Barker raced across the plate with the tying run. The In dians protested the game at that point saying time had been called. Finnigan then tripled and the two deciding runs came across. - Bob Perry, who had already homered and singled in a run, drove across the deciding tally of Sacramento's game with San Diego in the 11th inning. Terry Fox was the winner. He's now 6-1, all in relief. Bob Speake drove in four runs and Willie McCovey, the PCL's leading hitter, .350 plus, got three hits, to pace Phoenix to its blasting of Salt Lake. Jose Pagan chipped in with his 16th homer of the year. Portland pushed over two runs in the first inning to get the necessary margin for its win over Seattle. Russ Snyder doubled in one of the tallies and Charlie Secrest drove home Snyder with a single. Tom Gorman, the first of two Portland pitchers was credited with the win while Bob Mabe was handed the loss.

To some, this opposition to Portland Gen eral Electric's latest attempt- to erect a concrete monument to progress in electricity may seem to be soft in that the state division of the Izaak Walton league and the Wild life federation are not saying no, no, a thousand times no! The resolution calls for studies to be made, by all agencies concerned, and that plans be formulated foe the entire Deschutes basin. The resolution also asks that until these studies and plans are completed, that there be no license granted by the Federal Power commission for the con struction of Round Butte dam, A NEW APPROACH It's about time there was' greater realisation on the part of sportsmen and con' servalionists that we have been quite unsuccessful in stopping dams that were to be built with other than public funds. The FPC seems to hear rather poor ly when we ask that they not grant licenses for dams which will damage an adromous fish runs. The ap proach with this resolution is twofold in purpose in that it will delay the construe lion of the dam and at the same time insure proper construction if and when it occurs. There have been too many dams built over our blind opposition and they have been built with no facilities and no planning as to what values could be saved. Portland Beats Seattle Crew . United Press International Portland scored two runs in the first inning and another in the seventh to defeat Se attle, 3-1, in their Pacifio Coast league baseball game Thursday night in the Puget Sound city. The win left Port land in third place, only 4Ji games behind league leading Sacramento. The Beavers move on today to Vancouver to open a four game series against the second place Vancouver Mounties. Hillsdale Heads Gold Cup Field Inglewood, Calif. - (UPD - Hillsdale, a magic name for horseplayers this year, heads a field of nine entered in the $162,100 Gold Cup Saturday at Hollywood Park. Hillsdale, assigned only 124 pounds for the big race, has won four stakes during the meeting. A fifth win would tie the Hollywood Park rec ord for a single meeting. The 124 pounds is top weight for the mile and one quarter test, .but under that carried by the year's . top money winner in two recent starts.. His biggest competition is expected to come from Ter- rang, toting 120 and Find, a nine-year-old geldmg who fin ished second to Hillsdale in the American on the Fourth of July. Wisconsin - has an average of 3.72 tornadoes a year. CHEAP GRAVEL The Oregon legislature didn't pass the gravel bill during the last session and it's a dirty shame that the fish in the streams of Oregon still are not protected from gravel operations. A story comes from Tillamook regarding gravel .trucks that seemed to have a delegation of seagulls following them. The reason was found to be in salmon eggs and newly hatched fry that were mixed in with the gravel. The gravel contractor said it was cheaper t to dig gravel from a stream bed than to uncover a couple feet of earth to get it. Besides, if there is water in the stream the gravel will, be cleaner. The state is spending millions trying to give salmon and steelhead good spawning areas and then has a cheap gravel operation dig it up. Do we want this? THE HOG TROUGH I wonder how many fishermen are enjoying the chumming spectacle at Dia mond lake on the week ends? It seems that at eight or nine in the morning there is a grand rush of boats out to the center of the lake where they line up almost end to end for a half-mile and have a grand time com paring the efficacy of bait ' eggs with chopped liver when used to chum up the fish.

'When chum ming is illegal and just a few are doing it, then it's wrong and the person doing it is a game hog and is stealing from the rest of us. Sometimes when things get too bad it closes a lake to any kind of bait fishing and in the ex treme case it is closed to fly fish only. Diamond lake is one of the best in fishing po tential, but right ' now the fishing is being ruined for most of us by a-few. FISHING AND FISH ' I wish there was some way of convincing , people that the primary aim of fish ing is not to catch fish. On occasion when I've had a slow day on Diamond lake and returned with one fish or so I've had it remarked to me, "It's too bad you only got one. it hardly . makes the trip worthwhile." All I can do is smile, be cause I've tried to' tell him before that I go for the fishing and not for the fish. THE ANGLER'S LOG There are four or five dead salmon showing up at Gold Ray dam every day. Most of them have snag marks and death was caused by these wounds or the resulting fun gus which is quite virulent for this time of the year. A few are being caught in the upper river but they are getting dark and are somewhat wary in the low clear water. Diamond Lake Has been fair. Best catches are made drifting flies or flatfish. There have been several limits taken this week. Fly fishing in the morning and evening is showing good results. Fish Lake - Is very good. Trolling with FF&W, triple teaser, or small Colorado spin ner is best bet. Lots of limit catches. All boats have been taken for the week end. SPORTS 1 1 , Four Mile Lake - We've been neglecting this lake and it's too bad because it is a good fishing spot and fairly near. The report is that fish ing is getting betterand bet ter. The kokanee are m the deep water now and are bit ing good. Brook trout up to 16 inches have been caught by stillf ishing with worms. Morn ing and evening fly fishing is picking up. There are a few boats available. Klamath Lake - Has been slow. It should get better with warmer weather. Perch up to IV2 pounds are being caught on trolled flatfish. Mrs. W. W. Malone of Warm Springs made the lunker board this week with a 7 pounder caught on an Andy Reeker. Lake of the Woods - Has been only fair. Best bet is stillfishing with single eggs. Trolling is fair. Water skiing is reaching epidemic propor tions. . Squaw Lakes - Is good. Stillfishing with single eggs is the best bet. Catfishing is spotty. Willow Creek Reservoir - Pretty good. FF&W is paying off. Morning and evening is best. Swimming is fine. There was a 19 incher caught this week and several large fish are being taken. through the week. Water is clearing and going down. Boats are avail able. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER There is going to be a show-me trip on Bear creek next Thursday afternoon for all persons interested in the pollution problem. Re ports indicate that some of the polluters have made some attempt to clean up their mess. This .is an in- -dication of what an aroused public opinion can do. Let's keep it up and finish . the job.
