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.

Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank DeVoss
Southern Oregon looks
green and comfortable after
being chased out of those dry,
dry woods of British Colum
bia. 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

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!
