SPORTS Rogue Loop Launching Scheduled Campaign for District 6 A-2 southern divsion honors opens this evening with two games in the Rogue league. Phoenix goes to Cave Junc tion to encounter Illinois Val ley while Rogue River is host to Glendale. Practices for the Phoenix Pirates this week saw three days of real hard work. A lot of attention has been given to pass defense, a glaring Pirate weakness. And, Phoenix has sought to perfect its blocking against different types of de fense. An increase in squad to 30 players has given the Pi rates a chance to really scrim mage. Coah Jack Woodward said he felt his Phoenix club took the game too lightly when it lost last week to Brookings. He said he thinks the team will be more ready for IV. Rugged Work Rogue River, according to coach Bob Sandgren, has not looked too sharp in practice But. a the Chiefs have not lacked for enthusiasm and eagerness despite rugged tackling and blocking work that has made for bumps and bruisas. . One tackle, Tim Murdock. gf the Chieftains, has an in jured arm but is expected to see service. Jerry Van Dorn, quarterback, returned to 'the RR squad yesterday after be ing sidelined three days by flu. Glendale is reported to be as big as Rogue River. It has a pair of hard-c h a r g i n g guards and a big fullback. STANDINGS United Press International AMERICAN LEAGUE W. I. Pet. GB X Chicago Cleveland , New York .

Robert W. Levering (D-Ohio). Hodgins drove Adios Buter to a Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank The steelhead fishing was supposed to be a little on the slow side last week end but there were a few fishermen in the Galice area who had a ball. Fish weighing up to five pounds were caught and lures were working as well as flies Most of the fish were in the half-pounder category, which didn't lessen the sport one bit. FABULOUS STORIES Some really weird stories are coming up as lo the size and availability of this early run. Fishermen at Mule creek are reported to have hit - 50 fish on the week end. A party of three boats and six fishermen is supposed to have lied onto over 124 steelhead during a three day trip. This embryo fly-fisherman hit six in spite of having the line tan gled around his ears most of the time. I landed only one and enjoyed every mi nute of it. "' SPECULATION? Many of us may be wonder ing why we are so lucky this year in having a good fall run for the second year in a row. The answer could be that this . is the second year the screens at Savage Rapids dam have been in operation and for the first time., in almost. 40 years the downstream mi grants are getting by this fish killer without , being cut to ribbons or passed down the irrigation canals. Part of the answer also lies in the in creasing number of diversion ditches that are being screened every year by the game commission. WHERE DID THEY GO? Since the rain last week r end there may be some question as to where the fish will be now. A report from the counting station at Gold Ray dam says there are small steelhead show ing up so it may be safe lo say that there are steelhead scattered from the mouth lo above Gold Ray dam and chances probably are as good one place as another, BASIN VS. TRIBUTARY Today there was a meeting being held by our congressman-Charles Porter to deter mine what the issues are re garding" the so-called flood control projects in the Rogue River basin. He will find there are some parties who are ready to push their own pet irrigation projects' to the possible detriment of an over all basin development project There are those who believe immediate work should be done to authorize and get funds for certain projects on the tributaries. Their main ar gument is that this should be done because they are non- controversial. HOW MANY DIPS? . There is a possibility that if we send our congressman lo congress too often with a world's record land, Ohio. DeVoss plea for monies for this small project and that small project that when we ask for one of the really big projects, say one that has flood control or fish bene fits, congress will say no. It makes far better sense lo ask for help from congress for an overall basin wide development and have this authorized. The smaller in corporated projects can be built but will .be pat of an integrated plan. It's a good bet that we could get a Rogue River basin projects far easier than several small projects on, streams no one has heard of. - The people of this country are. aware of a need for flood control and improvement of fisheries on the Rogue ri ver. We can get this and needed irrigation develop' men! if we go about it in a wise manner. NO FUNDS AVAILABLE The deer killing canal on the Howard Prairie projects will not be covered or fenced this year because the Bureau of Reclamation doas not have any funds available at this time. They are planning on 200 additional crossings to be built of redwood slabs and will keep the ditch dry from October 1 until next April. It looks as though we will have to enlist the aid of our local congressman to ask congress to provide the additional funds to the Bureau or we will have our blacktail herd drowned out on us. THE ANGLER'S LOG - That eyesore of a good fishing lake called Fish lake will be a beauty lo see by next year. The forest service ' has nine fallers in there right now and every snag is expected lo be down by the first of next week. The bunching and burning of the snags will continue through next year and should be completed by the end of 1960. Aside from the fact it ' should have been done 40 years ago it sounds like a wonderful piece of work by the forest service. Good for them! Diamond Lake No report from Diamond this week think we can assume the fish ing is getting better, though reports from anglers indicate the big fish are not hitting and catches are in the 12 to 15 inch category. Fish Lake The water is up two feet and boats can use the whole lake. Private boats can be launched also. The lodge will be open next week end and cabins are available to hunters. Lake of the Woods Limit catches are being caught by trolling. Fish are averaging over 12 inches. The resort will close next Wednesday. Willow Creek Fishing is darn good. FF&W and flies are doing the best. Average size is over 12 inches. A bucktail coachman picked up a 3-pounder this week. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER There are rumors of a large steelhead run on the Klamath river down by Happy Camp. Some fish have been caught by Scott's Bar and the salmon are re ported from there on up lo the racks at Hornbrook. This should be good news for those who get lost eas ily because there will be steelhead . available to the north, south and west of any fisherman starting from Medford.

Sport Parade New York -(UPD- Forty years of shame and disappointment ends next Wednesday for a team which needed four dec ades to recover its pride and honor. It will be a historic moment when the Chicago White Sox run out onto the field to open the World Series. It's the first time they have had the chance since 1919. Which was the year they became the "black sox" for selling themselves to the gamblers. The story has been told often, and will be told again, how the 1919 Sox "dumped1 the Series to the Cincinnati Reds. They were 5 to 1 favor ites and considered one of the greatest teams of all time. They lost the series, five games to three, and it wasn't until a year later that eight of them were unmasked and banned from baseball for life Gamblers Were Patrons Yet, in a way, baseball owes the sullied eight a debt of gratitude. Without their downfall, baseball might never have completely cleaned its flan nels. Without them, Judge Kenesaw M. Landis might never have been named com missioner and set a pattern of uncompromising vigilance which exists today. . Because baseball, without a central head, was ripe for the plucking. In those days, gam blers were among the most honored patrons. Every ball park had a "gamblers sec tion" and ball players posed willingly with such notorious and unsavory characters as Arnold Rothstein, Scarface Al Capone and Nick the Greek. Even the club owners were not without contributory guilt. Charles Stoneham and John McGraw saw nothing wrong with owning the Giants as well as a race track and gambling casinos in Havana. They didn't see the threaten ing connection until Landis handed them an ultimatum. 'The damned fools," growl ed the white-thatched jurist.

Twenty - eight organizations, landowners and sportsmen's groups, are sponsors of the program to promote sports manship afield. . Hunters again will be asked to sign the Red Hat pledge on cards donated by the Keep Oregon Green association. The pledge is to "be law abiding, to respect the rights and prop erty of others and be careful of fire and firearms." Co-chairman of the program for Jackson county are Earl Knight and Russell DeForrest. They have urged business establishments and others to cooperate by planning special displays or other activities during the hunting season. Progress has been made in the past few years with Red Hat efforts in reducing tres pass, hunter-caused fires and acts of vandalism. The two chairmen pointed out that most landowners themselves are avid outdoors- men who understand the value By OSCAR FRALEY United Press International tection." Easy for Tix' Thus it was easy for the gamblers, as early as mid-season of 1919, to start working on the World Series "fix." And, so "innocent" were those connected with baseball that no investigation began even though the odds had dropped from 5 to 1 to even money as the Series opened. It wasn't until late the next season, when a Chicago grand jury indicted eight White Sox stars, that the scandal broke. The eight, and five co-conspirators, were cleaned in a sensational trial. And out of it came the heart-rending re quest of a wet-eyed young ster standing on the Cook County courthouse steps as he looked at the great "Shoeless Joe'' Jackson and cried: "Say it ain't so, Joe." Joe said it wasn't. But it was. And so was the fact that Landis, after lengthy hearings, barred for life Jack son, and fellow outfielders Happy Felsch and Fred Mc Mullin; infielders Chick Gan dil, Swede Risberg and Buck Weaver, and pitchers Ed Ci cotte and Claude , Williams. Unit Permits Still Available Portland - Oregon deer hunters, are advised that unit permits are still available in about half of the game man agement units. These unfilled units are located in southeast ern, eastern, and northeastern Oregon and down through the Willamette valley and the cen tral Oregon coast.

Adios Butler Reigns in Class Delaware, Ohio flJPD Adios Butler reigned today as the top 3-year-old pacer of the year and perhaps one of the best of all time. The bay colt sped to a world record 1:59 23 mile here Thursday in winning the Little Brown Jug in straight heats to become the first horse ever, to win pacing's triple crown. He had won the Cane Fu turity and the Messenger Stake and with the $28,335 won in the Jug, boosted his earnings to $156,258 for his owners, Paige West of Snow Hill, Md., and Angello Pol lillio of Scarsdale, N.

Moon Rocket Blast Puts U.S. Back Cape Canaveral, Fla. -OJPD- The unprecedented pad -test explosion which consumed America's newest moon rocket Thursday apparently dropped the United States at least another month behind in its lunar exploration race with Russia. No substitute was in sight immediately for the towering Atlas - Able rocket destroyed when flames spurted during an ignition test and touched off blasts in the first and sec ond stages. Scientists disappointed by this latest in a series of set backs-set to work planning another moon rocket. But it seemed almost certain such a new try would not be made until the first of November, at the earliest, when the moon makes a comparatively close approach to earth.
