SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1960 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, ORE. 6 SPORTS Yankees Edge Giants 10-9; Win Tourney The Washington Yankees took first place in the Wash ington school Sandblower league playoff last week by defeating the Giants 10-9 in the double elimination tour nament. The Yanks had to beat the Giants twice to do it, how ever. The Giants were dropped into the losers brack et Tuesday when the Yanks dumped them 15-6.. However, the Giants came back through the losers bracket and met the unde feated Yankees Thursday for the championship and beat them 10-8. A third game was then necessary between the two clubs as each then had one loss, and in the second con test of the day Thursday the Yankees nipped the Giants by a close 10-9 score. The Washington Dodgers took third place in the tour ney and the Braves came in last. In another playoff last week among the rest of the league teams, Hawthorne Yanks, Jackson, Howard, Hawthorne Giants, Hoover and Wilson; Howard won the tourney undefeated. They beat Wilson for the champion ship 9-4. 1 That tourney was single elimination. Howard, Wilson, Jackson and the Hawthorne Yanks had all finished in a t ie for first place at the end of Sandblower loop baseball two weeks ago. The two tourney's ended the Medford summer recrea tion baseball program.

There were so many fires and the humidity got so low that the forests of the main land and Vancouver island were closed to all entry. It was so hot that the salmon were chased down into deep water and it took about a pound of lead to get to them. But before leaving B.C. for good there are four distinct impressions garnered there that are felt to be of interest to Oregonians. CAMPSITES There are some wonder ful campsites in the prov ince of British Columbia. Since B.C. and Oregon are both tourist areas, it seems too bad that Oregon can't take more advantage of its scenic grandeur with more adequate camping facilities. This applies particularly to Jackson county where there are almost no campsites available to the camping tourist. The camps in B.C. were spaced so that each site was almost completely private and contained a lev eled area for a tent, a fire place, and a heavily var nished camp table. DRY RIVERS It was surprising to find many of the streams on the island in worse shape than the Applegate river below the 199 bridge. Many of us have a pic ture of Canada with streams flowing cold and clear for 12 months of the year and it comes as a bit of a shock to find a situation almost worse than what we have here in Oregon. The only reassuring aspect to the picture is the fact they are just discovering irrigation up there and the fish are recognized as having a prior right. All requests for water rights must pass a com mittee made up of represen tatives from the parties con cerned. And this means the fish are not without a ma jority of advocates. SALMON DERBIES The month of August finds the salt water fishing areas of B.C. crowded with participants in the local salmon derbies. The prizes Back-Room Politics Continue at Rome Rome-IUPD-Some U.S. ath letes, fearful of reaching their peak too fast, tapered off their training today for the opening of the Olympic games next week but there was no slow-down in the "back room politics." Gus Stager, coach of the U. S. men's swimming squad, said his athletes may have been working too hard in training. "I look at the Russians, who have been working out when we have, and they seem to be loafing most of the time," Stager declared. "I'm going to slow it down for a few days." Behind Scene Activity Behind the scenes, though, there was plenty of activity and it included: -A battle by Avery Brund age to retain the presidency of the International Olympic committee in the face of a strong bid by Lord Burghley, marquis of Exeter. -A spirited campaign by the U. S. against the proposed holding of the Olympic games in late May and early June of 1964 at Tokyo. -A Russian proposal to re organize the games, which Brundage called a threat to the "independence" of the IOC. -Demands for a more "workable" definition of . an amateur as against profes sionals. 1 -Nationalist C h i n a 's at tempt to cast aside its desig nation as Taiwan. The U. S. delegation to the IOC was firmly opposed to the proposed dates for the 1964 games, claiming it would cost students an entire se mester .of schooling to com pete. " STADIUM BALLOT The Jackson county court and county recreation commission want to know how the public feels concern ing a proposed sports stadium at the county fairgrounds. Seating capacity of the stadium would be 10,000. The method of financing is not yet determined. The ballot is. for informational purposes only and will in no way commit the court or commission to any one course of action. Mail your ballot to the SPORTS EDITOR, MAIL TRIBUNE by Friday. I am FOR a stadium ' I am AGAINST a stadium Undecided are well worth the effort in that one winner cashed in for a first prize consisting of a car, a boat with trailer and a motor. The value of these trifles was well over $3000. Some of those con cerned can see the hand writing on the wall and are working for a different kind of derby; such as one where the proceeds go to a charity and the winner gets a token prise. But the only way to. slop those who profit from derbies is to make them il legal as was done in Oregon. A person isn't interested in the sport of fishing when he's motivated by such ex pensive prizes, GAME PROTECTOR One of the ffnest arguments for taking game law enforce ment from the state police was given by the president of the Victoria Fish and Game Pro tection association, a conser vation group. He was sur prised that Oregon still had its present system and stated that its prime disadvantage was that hunters and fisher men are less cooperative with policemen who are enforcing laws than with game protec tors who are doing what their name implies. He felt that there was an association made with the police that worked against them even though their job was somewhat simi lar. This makes good sense when one considers the atti tude of many Oregonians to ward our game laws. THE ANGLER'S LOG The best fishing newt seems to be "Go west fish erman" and try the mouth of the Rogue or Klamath river for fall chinook. Re ports from both rivers in dicate the fish are there and fighting mad with anyone who puis a hook in the way. It is reported that a thous and fish were brought into the canneries in one day by sport fishermen at Gold Beach. Diamond Lake-Has been slow. Deep trolling is pay ing off the best. I am going to get out on a limb by say ing that it should pick up now that the moon is going into its dark phase. Bright nights seem to slow up the fishing. (Or could it have its effect on the fishermen in stead of the fish?) Fish Lake-Is still excel lent. Trolling FF&3T or FF&T flatfish is the best bet. Four Mile Lake-Evening fishing for rainbow and ko kanee is tops when single eggs are used. Klamath Lake-Slow but picking up. Catfish and perch are just mad about worms in Crystal creek. The perch are weighing in at over a pound and are ready for a good fight. The trout being taken are hitting a white fly or a small black fly. These are trolled with out any weight. Lake of the Woods-Has slowed down considerably. Deep cold water baited with single eggs seems to be the winning combination. Willow Creek-Some eve ning fishing with flies. The fish are taking those with a bit of white on them. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER In comparing notes with steelhead fishermen of B.C. it was discovered that our fish ing is better than anything they have available. They were amazed that we get onto so many fish per day. May be their techniques are not so deadly. Will have to find out. GOOD LUCK! Portland Team Trips Canada New Westminster, B.C.-HJPD -American teams polished off four top pitchers Friday night at Queen's Park stadium and gave British Columbia a good shellacking in the first round of the Northwest Connie Mack baseball Regional tour nament here. The Seattle' Clarks crushed Richmond, 8-2, and Portland, Rockwood thumped Maillard ville, 10-0.
