Barron Hilton, son of hotel magnate Conrad, favors the former Naval academy coach but obviously does not want to go overboard in his en dorsement because he might place himself in a poor posi tion for negotiating terms with Erdelatz.

In dications are he. may remain in the deep-freeze until next season when the American league expects to go into oper ation.

Drawings Held For Controlled Deer, Elk Hunts Portland - Some were win ners and some were losers sums up the outcome for about 75 interested deer and elk hunters who crowded the game commission's Portland office , Tuesday, Aug. 25, to witness the public drawing for the Hart mountain and Alfalfa controlled deer season permits and the either-sex elk permits to be issued in 17 elk hunting areas. With 16,395 elk hunters sub mitting applications for 3,950 permits available the over-all chances of success ran about one in four. Odds were excel lent in several areas, but in the main, most of the elk units were well filled with appli cants with the chances of suc cess as low as one in seven. In the Alfalfa and Hart mountain deer areas, the two controlled deer units that were oversubscribed, a total of 1,442 hunters applied for the 300 tags available in the Alfalfa hunt, and 520 applied for 300 tags to be issued for the Hart mountain hunt. Successful applicants will receive their permits as rapid ly as they can be processed, probably within a week or two. Unsuccessful applicants in the elk drawings will not be notified. Unsuccessful ap plicants in the deer drawings will receive a refund of their controlled tax fee. land and a full-game margin on Grants Pass in the chase for the full season trophy. Ashland can tie for this honor if it wins both Sunday tangles and can nab the hardware if GP tops Riddle. Grants Pass can have un disputed claim to the second half toga by beating Riddle and by the" win would enter the play-off with the first half winner. A GP loss to Riddle would tie the Climate city Merchants with Ashland for the half honors if, of course, Ashland wins both games. It is actually possible for Ashland to win the full sea son pennant but not qualify for the league's extra session. Kaye Vaughn of Medford Bowling lanes and Mickey Coen of Riddle have the in side track, respectively, on the league batting and pitch ing trophies. Statistics through Aug. 23 games from league president Harry Chipman showed Ron Peery of Medford leading the batting with .511 average to Vaughn's .500 among the eligibles. Peery was 24 for 47 and Vaughn 14 for 28 times at bat. However, Peery was hitless against Riddle in four times up Wednesday in Med ford's concluding game to fin ish with 24 for 51 and .471 while Vaughn was one for two for the game and is 15 for 30 for the campaign. Players must have at least 24 turns at bat to qualify for the toga. Two players could overtake Vaughn and two could tie him with perfect days at the plate but the odds are against it. Larry Maurer and LeeRoy King of Ashland with .387 and would need eight hits in eight .370 marks now, respectively, would need eight hits in eight times up in their team's two frays on Sunday to go by Vauehn. Moose Blevins of Grants Pass and Layton Dietz of Riddle could knot the Med- fordite with four for four apiece. Coen has an 8-1 wm-loss pitching record. Dave D'Olivo of Ashland is 7-2 and Deraia Wooton of Grants Pass 4-1. Through last Sunday, Med ford led them hitting with 314. Other marks were Rid dle and Grants Pass each .270, Ashland .267, Camp White .265. Glendale .207 and Butte Falls .131. In fielding Grants Pass paced with .957 and Ash land had .957.
