Yankees Seek Showdown On Players Rights Nett York (UPD Can the "getaway" game in a series between two big-league base ball teams be scheduled as a night game without permis sion of the visiting players? No, the New York Yankee players insisted unanimously today and indicated they want a showdown right now on what they figure are "players' rights" in the mat ter of scheduling night games. Yes, says President Bill Veeck of the Chicago White Sox, who has listed the Sox Yankees game in. Chicago Aug. 24 as a night game. "We will show up that aft ernoon," said pitcher Bob Turley, the Yankees' player representative, today in tones I that indicated he means busi I ness. "We won't be there that night."' . Turley explained that the players believe an American league rule which says that permission of "the visiting club" must be obtained to make the last game of a ser ies a night game means "the players of the visiting club." But Veeck insists that the words "visiting club" means officials cf the visiting club. He says the players' approval is needed "only in the event the game precedes a day game on the following day." "Their game on the follow ing day at Cleveland is at night,' Veeck pointed out. : Ring Bout Won By Rademacher Columbus, Ga. -(OPD- Bald ing Pete Rademacher, the former Olympic boxing cham pion who tried to crack the professional ranks from the top, began a new drive for the crown Thursday night with a technical knockout over Tommy Thompson of Washington, D.C.

" Dr. Max Anderson, ring side physician, stopped the fight after examining Thompson- who had a sprained right arm and cuts under both eyes.

Woods, Water, Wildlife f Mink DtVess We are indeed fortunate here in Jackson county, ' be cause we have the largest mi gratory blacktail deer herd in the West as part of our wild life populations at the present time. This should be realized now because if certain con ditions continueas they now exist we will no longer have the largest migratory black tail herd In the West and may be no migratory blacktail herd at alL Deer from this herd are . being killed at the rate of two or three a day and at that rate the herd will soon be brought to the point where its existence is jeapordized. DEAD DEER i This story really began ever two years ago but my interest in it began last Monday whan I helped Charlie Shtpard, the state game commission's local game biologist, drag six dead deer from the waters of Keen creek reserroir and the Howard Prairie de livery canal, both of which are part of the new Talent irrigation project. One of the deer 'was a big four point buck with his antlers till in velvet: the others consisted of three does and two small fawns. All of them had the hair worn off and the skin broken on the ankles and knees of their forlegs and under the jaws as evidence of their strug gles to get out of the canal that had trapped them. DEATH DEALING CANAL The 18.8 miles of canal be tween Howard Prairie dam and Keene creek reservoir was designed to deliver water for power development and irrigation and was never in tended to also deliver deer carcasses by the half-dozen.. About 17 miles of the canal is of a tranezoidal design with slanting walls while the rest is of a bog design with verti cal walls. The 17-mile stretch is 11 feet wide and the other is six feet wide. The canal is uncovered except for cross- hies for vehicles and deer here and there along its length. When the canal is full.as it is now, the water is about three feet deep. This doesn't sound like a danger ous ditch and it would seem that deer could jump it easily but this is not the case. Deer have been found dead in it when it was dry and at the rate they are dying m it right now there is proof enough that somebody, goofed. DESK JOCKEY DECISIONS 1 When the game commis sion studied the . plans of the Bureau of Reclamation regarding this ditch it asked that ' the canal be fenced' along its entire length with a deer-proof fence as recom mended by Charlie Shepard. The' bureau decided that the crot sings would be suf ficient but that they would be willina to cooperate in i any other way that would ! not involve the cost of fencing. Atv a result, three ramps were made and in stalled in the diteh to help the deer get out, but so far they have been generally in effective. It would seem the bureau presumed a bit too much when it decided that deer think like humans and would rather look for a crossing instead of crossing wherever they approached the ditch. The bureau also mad a mistake in not rea lising that the canal crossed the path of the migratory herd and then compounded this mistake in disregards ing the recommendations of the game biologist. TO THE RESCUE Fortunately, the people who made the mistake now realize it and are doing what they can to stop the drownings. More ramps are to be installed but Construction Com in end See Our "PrtCuf Custom Fence , . Ecenemical Easily Installed Durable Highest Quality' Material the Very Best ESTIMATES Phone SP 2-2461 this is merely a stopgap mea sure and until the canal is either fenced or covered the deer are going to die. All the crossings and . ramps ever made won't stop the fawns and dogs from being trapped ia the ditch and being killed by it. Once they are in the ditch they turn and fight the current and the slippery walls until they are exhausted and then they drown. Simple logic tells us that if we lose the does and fawns we lose the herd. ' FRUSTRATION! ' It was a bitter and frus trating experience to drivo the length of the canal and pull dead animals out and roll them down the hillside to rot and finally disappear. We kept hoping that we might find one we could tare but our hopes were nerer realized. Along most of the . canal length the walls were scarred with the frantic efforts the deer made in trying to', escape. Here and there we could see the marks ' of success where a wet body had scrambled out but no mat ter how many escape the numbers that do not are the future of the herd and with them gone so is the herd. We can't save the deer al ready gone but we can ask that the rest be protected from the same fate. THE ANGLER'S LOG Soon begins the yearly con flict of the sportsman in try ing to decide between hunting or fishing during a season when both produce an abund ance of return. As the nights continue to get cooler the fish become more active, in their feeding and this means better fishing so who wants to quit now! Diamond lake Is . g o o d. Many limits are being taken. Flatfish or flies are still the bets bet. The nights are cold now and this should clear the water for the best fishing of the year. . Fish lakeIs the hot spot of the area.

(I Friday, Aug. 14, 1959 7 West Club Polishes Up On Blocking i'enaieion lira The East and West squads continued to drill for their Shriners B high school all-star contest here August 22. Scrimmages were held in the West camp here Wednes day 'and Thursday under Coach Ron Anderson, while a scrimmage also was held in the Eastern .all-star training camp at La Grande. The West squad polished up on line blocking, spent time on play patterns , in addition to working on pass defense and offense. A full-scale scrim mage will be held Friday night. - - Bob Ball of Huntington and Gerald Carlson of Culver be came the first casualties in the East's drills. Ball sus tained a sprained elbow in practice and Carlson received a sprained ankle. Both sauads will deriart for Portland this week end where they will visit the Centennial and see the State -Metro Shrine game in Multnomah stadium Saturday, v that private boats can't be launched. - Klamath lake Is just as good as last week. Andy Keek ers are doing the business. Willow creek Has been fair. FF and flatfish is the best bet with green, yellow, perch scale or rattlesnake the pre ferred color. Late evening fishing seems to produce the best. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER I feel confident that the people of the Rogue river alley are going to raise . such a fuss over this deer kill business that the pow ers that be are going to raise a cover over the canal . as soon as possible. This is a : waste of valuable re ource that should not be tolerated once it is known to exist. GOOD LUCKl .
