Rigney Is
Looking For
90 Victories
St. Louis, Mo. (UPD - San
Francisco Manager Bill Rig
ney and a lot of other base
ball experts are saying 90 vie
tories will be enough to win
the National league pennant.
If that's the case, the
league-leading Giants have
only to compile a 26-17 mark
over the rest of the season.
The Giants moved closer to
the magic No. 90 Monday
night as they got their 21
game road-trip off to a suc
cessful start with a come-from-behind
3-2 win over St.
Louis.
Johnny Antonelli (1 6-6) will
take the mound for the
Giants against the Cardinals
tonight and probably will be
opposed by Wilmer Mizell
11-7.
Cam From Behind
It appeared as if the Giants
were going to have their
league lead cut to a mere
game over the idle Los An
geles Dodgers Monday night,
With the Cards ahead, 2-0,
pinch-hitter Leon Wagner de
livered a one-out single in the
ninth inning. Jim Davenport
followed with another one-
baser and Willie Mays clutch
ed a third single to score Jose
Pagan, who had gone In to
run for Wagner.
That marked the end of
Cardinal starter Larry Jack
son, who had held the Giants
to only five hits ' during the
first eight innings. Reliever
Dean Stone got Willie Mc-
Covey to hit an infield
grounder, but a late throw to
the plate attempting to get
Davenport left all hands safe
and the score tied.
Ernie Broglio then came in
to pitch and he struck out
Orlando Cepeda.
But then Willie Kirkland
showed just how hard it is to
pitch down the power packed
Giants' batting order as he
lashed a double that scored
McCovey and gave the Giants
the winning run.
Litll Slu Gals Win
Stu Miller, who took over
for Giant starter Sam Jones
in the seventh, was credited
with the win. He blanked the
Cards for two frames and
was lifted for pinch-hitter
Wagner in the ninth.
Mike McCormick, who had
his troubles In the last of the
ninth when the Cards got
runners on second and third,
managed to end the contest
with a strike out and a game
ending grounder.
St. Louis took a 1-0 lead
when Alex Grammas tripled
in the third and scored on an
Infield grounder. The Cards
added their other tally when
McCovey kicked a grounder
by Hal Smith at first and Don
Blasingame and Gino Cimoli
followed with singles.

Rack ud another win for
Willie-
Only this time it was Willie
Kirkland who supplied the
blow that won the game and
increased the Giants lead to
two full games in the Nation
al league race.
Actually San Francisco's
3-2 victory over St. Louis
Monday night was a team ef-
fort-a team of Willies.
Willie Mays drove in the
first run, Willie McCovey the
second and Kirkland the win
ning marker. The Giants, if
you'll pardon the pun, won
the game in wild and Willie
fashion.
Starts Rally
Larry Jackson had them
shut out on five hits and led,
2-0, until the ninth. Leon Wag
ner started the rally with a
pinch single and Jim Daven
port followed with another
single. Mays then singled
home the first run.
That brought in Dean
Stone, who got McCovey to

A. Olmedo
Looks Good
In NJ Play
South Orange, N.J. (OPD
Alex Olmedo may have been
in a slump recently, but it
now appears that the Wim
bledon champion will be in
top form to defend the Davis
Cup.
Olmedo, U.S. Davis Cup
star from Peru by way of Los
Angeles, showed his good
form Monday when he easily
defeated unseeded Mike Green
of Miami Beach, Fla., 6-4, 3-6,
6-0, 6-2, in the final round of
men's singles in the Eastern
Grass Courts tennis championships.
Olmedo and Earl Buchholz,
Jr. of St. Louis, Mo., who may
comprise the U.S. Davis Cup
doubles team, then won the
doubles title by defeating Ron
Holmberg of Brooklyn and
Indian Davis Cup ace Raman
athan Krishman, 6-2, 11-13,
6-4, 8-6.
The victory here was 'the
first for Olmedo since he won
the Wimbledon crown earlier
this summer, following disap
pointing showings in two re
cent tourneys. In early rounds
here, too, he failed to play his
best tennis. But Olmedo ap
peared every inch the cham
pion against Green.
hit an infield grounder. In an
attempt to make a play at the
plate, however, the Cardinals
missed Davenport and McCo
vey was safe at first. Ernie
Broglio relieved Stone and
struck out Orlando Cepeda
but Kirkland slammed a dou
ble that scored Mays and gave
the Giants their fifth victory
in the last six games. Stu Mil
ler, second of three Giant
pitchers, was the winner.
It was the only game
scheduled in the National
league.
Yankees Win
In the American league, the
Yankees tied the score with
four runs in the ninth and
then scored three more in the
10th to beat the Red Sox, 7-4,
for their fifth straight while
the Indians topped the Athle
tics, 6-4. They were the only
games scheduled.
Frank Sullivan, the Red
Sox starter, retired 16 men in
a row before, the Yankees
capitalized on two errors to
tie the score at 4-4 in the
ninth.
The Yankees scored their
three runs in the 10th on two
walks and singles by Yogi
Berra, Elston Howard and
Hector Lopez.
Whitey Ford pitched the
last two innings and gained
his 12th victory against six de
feats. Al Schroll was the
loser.
Rocky Colavito was the big
man in Cleveland's win over
Kansas City, which has now
lost seven in a row. Colavito
collected four of the Tribe's
12 hits, including his 33rd
homer of the season.
Cal McLish went the first
seven innings, gave up two
runs and eight of Kansas
City's 11 hits, to post his 14th
victory in 19 decisions.

WaHionBans to Seek
Additional Funds
For IBasin Studies
Jackson County chapter of
the Izaak Walton league will
ask Congress to provide more
time and funds for further
study of the Rogue river and
its tributaries by Army En
gineers. '
A resolution that this re
quest be made and that the
Oregon Congressional delega
tion be urged to work toward
this end was passed by mem
bers attendings the regular
meeting of the chapter at Med
ford Gun club last night.
Object of the resolution and
the additional study it pro
poses is to secure an accepta
ble project on the main stem
of the upper Rogue which
would benefit fish, wildlife
and recreation. Waltonians
signified their favor of a dam
at Lost creek or-above prop
erly constructed and operated
beneficial to those three fac
tors and to flood control. How
ever, their resolution stressed
several matters which have
been brought out in recent
presentations and discussions
on Rogue basin project data
of the Corps of Engineers.
Important Project
The most important flood
control project, a dam at Lost
creek, the resolution points
out, is unacceptable to the
U.S. fish and wildlife service
under the proposed operating
plan because of possible dam
aging effects that might result
in tot si. loss of the fish runs.
A statement of Henry Stew
art, Engineers' representative
that the Corps has "substan
tially completed studies for
a plan of development" of the
Rogue basin is mentioned in
the Waltonian measure along
with the report that the En
gineers have only enough
time and funds left for con
ducting hearings and making
recommendations. At the same
time the desire of Travis Rob
erts, fish and wildlife service
man, to work with the Corps
on an alteration of the plan
is emphasized.
Roberts has stated, accord
ing to the resolution, that the
temperatures of the lower
Rogue already are critical and
that it is possible that the
present plan for Lost creek
dam would further aggravate
the problem. The fish and
wildlife man, it was said, is of
the opinion that alteration of
the plan is "required." He
would like to work to provide
flow and temperature ade
quate to maintain fish life.
Lack of Data
The resolution also states
that Stewart and Roberts both
admit that the lack of tempera
ture data is the "weak link"
in the project. It reports that
the fish and wildlife service
is planning a complete tem
perature study of the Rogue
during the next two years
Waltonians contend that,
if the dam is built, the regu
lated streamflows at Raygold
down the river would be just
equal to or less than natural
flows in June, July, August
and September. They stress
that low stream flows occur
at the same time as high water
temperature. j
Members bring out, too, that i
if all the water were used for j
power, streamflow and tern-:
perature control, the stream-!
flows could be doubled at Lost
creek and Raygold during
critical low water periods and
that the temperature would
be lower than under the pres
ent plan.
The resolution maintains
that without a storage project
at Lost creek or above to
furnish water for temperature
control, the fish runs may be
lost in due time because of
high water temperatures.
$13 Million Industry
Waltonians showed that the
Rogue fishery supports a $13
million industry and has an
annual value of $2,155,000 to
Oregon. They pointed to 30.64
per cent fishery benefits in
the cause of the proposed Cop
per project on the Applegate
river.
Finally listed is the con
tention that the present study
of the Rogue river basin is
incomplete and cannot be
properly presented by the
Nov. 15, 1959 date set to get
a basin plan before Congress.
Desirability for a guaran
teed increase minimum flow
in the lower Rogue below
Grants Pass from a Lost creek
project was expressed by Cole
Rivers, Oregon game commis
sion field agent and fish
biologist.

San Francisco UPD Well,
sir, there sat Gene Fullmer,
bashed-in beak and all, sur
rounded by bowing waiters
and eating off a solid-gold
plate.
The place was "His Lord
ship's Room" at a restaurant
called Paoli's in the San Fran
cisco financial district, and the
reason for the grandeur was
to introduce Fullmer to the
press.
The Utah lad, who meets
Carmen Basillio here for the
world middleweight cham
pionship on Aug. 28,was equal
to the ccasion.
Accompanied by his man
ager, Marvin (mink . farmer)
Jensen, Fullmer was on his
best behavior. He spoke in a
well-modulated voice, raised
the right pinkie when he
drank from his coffee cup
and he didn't slup his soup
(which is more than can be
said of the sports writers.)
Big Gat Expected
"We expect to gross a gate
of $250,000' to $300,000 for
this fight at the Cow Palace,"
chorused co-promoters Ben
nie Ford and Norman Roth
schild, the latter from Syra
cuse, N.Y. "That would mean
every seat in the house would
be sold out -from the $30
ring-sided own to the $5 for
the bleachers."
Which was reason, of course,
for holding the luncheon in
I the financial district.
. "Hey, Fullmer," yelled on
uncouth sportswriter, "with
this kind of living, are you
going to follow in the foot
steps of Ingomar and brine
your wife, family and friends
to camp. And go dancing in
the evening?"
"No, sir," r e p 1 i e d th
smooth Fullmer. "I can't taka
dancing even when I'm not in
training."
Gene was asked if it was
true that he was training with
a baseball bat.
Swings Bat at Bag
"Yes, that's true," said
Fullmer "I swing it at the
punching bag. It's in the same
manner that old-time fighters
used to chop down trees when
training.
"However, as a matter of
fact, maybe it would be a
good idea to bring the bat into
the ring with me against Ba
silic" Rothschild, an easterner,
may have thought he was
roughing it in the West, eat
ing off gold plates, with a
luncheon of crab salad, filet
steaks, etc.
"I hope the fight is a sell
out," said Rothchild. "Then
we'll all eat better in the fu
ture." But for the sports writers,
most of whom usually eat off
dime-store chinaware anyway,
there is no better eating fu
ture after the gold plate
service.
