(UPI Telephoto) Braves May Buy Mounts at Loss Vancouver, B.C.-iUPII-Share-holders of the Vancouver Motilities Baseball club who bought it four years ago to keep triple-A ball in the city will meet soon to discuss an offer from the Milwaukee Braves to purchase the team. Led by the largest stock holder Nat Bailey, the present owners will take a financial bath even if they do sell the team. It was bought from the Brick Laws interests in 1956 for $150,000. The price offered by Mil-waukee-S50,000, is made up of S34.000 for the franchise and S16.000 in a no-interest loan. 'We will have to take a loss," said Mounlie President Bailey. "Baseball franchises are a dime a dozen. Bailey said "we are very happy about the Braves want ing to buy us out. even though wo will have to take a loss- vc'll be lucky to get half our tnoney back in twenty years. SO Prequalifying Necessary For Rogue Valley Linksters Residents of the Rogue River valley entered in the Southern Oregon Golf championships must play their qualifying rounds by Tuesday, Aug. 30, tourna ment officials stressed to day. This applies to both men and women. High handicap linksters of this area not trying for championship flight spots have through Monday, Aug. 29, to qualify. Players seek ing title flight berths must play their 18-hole prelimi nary rounds on Tuesday and are instructed to con tact the Rogue Valley Coun try club pro shop for start ing times. MANY VISITING PLAYERS No Jackson or Josephine county residents have been paired for Wednesday qual ifying play. The reason is thai the huge number of golfers from outside the val ley will fill the Medford links to capacity when they qualify on that date. To help alleviate the Wednesday congestion on the course, tourney officials are asking all visiting golf ers who can to qualify ahead of Aug. 31 even though they have been as signed starting time for that final qualifying date. Match play in the 32nd annual tourney at RVCC opens on Thursday, Sept. 1, and continues through Mon day, Sept. 5, Labor Day. BOSOX LAND MATERN San Francisco - IUPII -Dick Matern, a 6-foot, 3 '2-inch, 220 pound former University of Southern California catcher and first baseman, signed Thursday with the Boston Red Sox and was assigned to their class B Raleigh team in the Carolina league.

FALCON- MS I CRATER LAKE MOTORS Seattle Boat Is Favored To Win Cup Detroit tUPll Seattle's Miss Thriftway, with Bill Munccy behind the wheel, will head a fleet of the nation's finest powerboats into the 14th an nual Silver Cup race Satur day on the Detroit river. Miss Thriftway, winner of the Memorial Regatta here in June and Seafair Trophy race in Seattle earlier this month, is favored to capture the cov eted Silver cup. The Seattle boat's chances were solidly bolstered this week when two of Detroit's top crafts. Miss U.S. I and Miss Detroit, virtually drop ped out of competition. Miss U.S. I ran into trouble two days ago when it went out of control during a test run and crashed through a lagoon at the Detroit Yacht club. Although repairs were im mediately started, boat-builder Lcs Staudacher said Friday that U. S. I is "definitely out of it." Miss U. S. 1 was con sidered Detroit's most formid able challenger. The withdrawal of Miss De troit became probable Friday when driver Chuck Thompson said there is "only an outside chance" he will enter the race. On hand to challenge Miss Thriftway for the Silver cup will be Detroit's Such Crust IV, Gale V ad Gale VI; Nitro gen and Nitrogen Too from Wilmington, Del., and another Seattle entry, Miss Burien. SPORTS Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVoss Emile Griffith Joins Line for Paret's Crown New York lOT Young Emile Griffith of New York joined the welterweight chal lengers' line today because of his unanimous 10-round deci sion over Cuba s tiorentino Fernandez at Madison Square Garden Thursday night. Speedy Griffith, who weigher 14nro pounds to Fer nandez 14!P-i. was named "third challenger" by match maker Teddy Brenner. "The winner of the title fight between c harapio n Benny (Kid) Parol and Fcde- rico Thompson at the Garden on Oct. 15 will defend against Denny Moyer in February or March, if Moyer can make the weight," Brenner explained. "If he can't, then Griffith will get the shot." Emile. a 21-year-old milli nery shipping clerk, was speedier at close quarters than the rangy Cuban slugger, and he won the verdict: b-Z 6-2-2. 7-3. However, 24-year- old Fernandez lost two round: on fouls: The second round for a low left hook and the fifth round for persistent holding. Fernandez had his second defeat in 29 starts, and Grif fith registered his 21st victory in 23 bouts. Rogue Valley Cars See Action Sunday Five Rogue Valley cars who won top honors in the second annual North Coast Championship drag races held at Eureka, Calif., last Sunday will be in action Sun day on the White City drag races sponsored by Southern Oregon Timing association. Top money maker of the meet was Jim Wilson from Grants Pass and a member of the Wheelers Racing team of Medford. Wilson gunned his "C" class dragster past all challengers to emerge top eliminator of the meet and lake home a four-fool-tall tronhv and a $25 bond. He will have his Chevrolet-powered acceleration 'rails' in ac tion at the local drag strip Sunday. Medford's Phil Miles will be behind the wheel of his Chrysler-powered 1934 Ford that has been a consistent winner for him throughout the past three years. In addi tion to winning his class at the California meet Miles also tagged the middle eliminator gold with a top time of 111.60 miles per hour. The Sands - G e g n e r "A" competition coupe will be try ing to continue their win streak over the Wheelers club "Zombie." Other cars running under the flag of the Rogue Racing team will be the Chuck Gil christ coupe and the Hunt- Misek "B" modified roadster. Most drivers will be tuning their entries for top speeds because this is the last meet before the Northwest Gas Championships slated for Sept. 10-11 and the champion ship meet is the one time of the season when contestants can win trophies for setting new strip records. Time trials will start at 9 a.m. and eliminations will be held after lunch. A conces sion stand will be in opera tion. The SOTA strip is located seven miles north of Medford off the Crater Lake highway in west While City. Vans Defeat PCL Leaders By PETE COLEMAN United Press International Vancouver's lowly Moun lies rose up from seventh place Thursday night to smile the league leading Spokane Indians twice, 3-2 and 7-4. The double defeat didn't do much for the Pacific Coast league race, however. The In dians still held a six game lead as the best second-place Tacoma could do was split a twinbill with San Diego, win ning the nightcap 5-4 and los ing the opener 3-0. In other action, Sacramento had a 6-5 squeaker over Salt Lake City in 12 innings, and Seattle whitewashed Portland, 6-0. In trie nightcap, it was a late inning scoring spree that got the Mounlies home first. They got two counters in the eighth and three more in the ninth. Jim Finigan got three hits to pace Vancouver at the plate. Erv Palica was just about the whole story in Seattle's win over Portland. The 32-year-old righthander set the Beavers down on five hits to record his sixth shutout of the season and his 14U1 victory. The trouble with a non- fishing vacation is that it tends to make one vulnerable with regard lo fishing reports. They all sound so optimistic that soon there is a distinct feeling of certainty in predict ing that the fishing this fall is going o be the besl ever. The only thing to mar the enjoyment of returning to the best fishing in the country is the news that the Coos-Curry Electric Co-op is applying for a federal license to build a high dam on the lower Illinois river. It isn't hard to imagine the effect a 400 to 500 foot high dam would have on the migratory fish of the Illinois. The only way they could get over would be lo lift them over and then there would still be the problem of getting the downstream migrants back down. It would be a dam for power and no other pur pose in an age of multiple purpose development. Its lo cation would be 7 miles above the mouth and water would be backed up to Briggs creek. And this comes at a time when the sportsmen of Oregon, by use of license monies paid the game commission, have put out thousands of dollars building a ladder bypassing the falls in order lo provide more spawning area for the salmon of the river. CALL TO ARMS The sportsmen and conser vationists of Oregon should sound a call to arms and stop this latest blatant attempt to sell us a pig in a poke. It is grandiose scheme lo create the kind of progress thai de stroys far more values than it builds. II is doubtful that we can prevent the issuance of a license since the FPC disregards any but monetary values, but we can stop the dam by giving it no support and convincing all others of its illegitimate conception. THE FALL HUNT This is a poor time lo put up your fishing rod but there are those who have been waiting all year for next Thursday when the hunting seasons begin with the opening o those on pigeons, doves, and squir rels. The game commission reports that the squirrels are scattered throughout the county with no real con centrations at any one place. The doves are found Main and Fir Streets Medford TRIMVHX CONCRETE C on the grain fields, or adja cent to them, and mainly at the northern end of the val ley. The pigeons have their heaviest concentrations on upper Williams creek and around Eight Dollar moun tain. HEY ROBIN! T h e first archery season will commence on the third of September and the entire Green Springs unit will be open to our local bowmen. It's a big area and there arc deer aplenty. Being chased a month early may confuse some of the deer to the extent that they won't start running until alter t h e first arrow goes by. And there are some urchcrs just sharp enough to connect with that first arrow. Anyhoo, the best of luck to Robin. THE ANGLER'S LOG Having this cool, wet weather come so early this year may help make things even more confusing. The lake fishing is making a splendid recovery and the rivers. Rogue and Klamath, are getting early runs of stcelhead that seem quite numerous. We are lucky that no matter which fish ing we choose, it is likely to be good fishing, with lots of action and excellont tast ing results. Diamond Lake - Is coming into its own again. Flics or small flatfish trolled just un der the surface are taking plenty of big, bright fish. Lim it catches are being checked in more often than in early summer. Fish Lake - Is still very good. Lots of limits and satis faction when trolling rt&W or FF&flatfish. Howard Prairie - Has cleared and the fishing is pick ing up. It has been good all summer for some in the know. Drifting worms or still fishing with single eggs has sonic merit, although still-fishing in groups usually comes under suspicion as indicating chum ming. Squaw Lakes - Have clear water. Trolling FF&W or still fishing with cluster eggs seems top roduce best. The calfishing is good. Rogue River - Reports have it that a good run of stcelhead I came in the mouth two weeks m'n nnri another Vninnh fame 1 in this week. The water tem- I nci-jit iii-fi in Hnun nnd tlipv' might move up to catch the salmon spawning. Klamath River - Similar re ports of large numbers of fish at the mouth and a surprising report of several fish caught this past week end from above Hornbrook. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The game commission is in the midst of an attempt to introduce the European Grey Partridge into this area. This fine game bird comes from Denmark and is related to the Hun that is found in Eastern Oregon. Over 900 birds have been released and if this bird takes hold it will be wel come addition to the upland game bag. Let's hope they make the team. GOOD LUCK1 Chicago-(UPII-Mrs. Margaret T.
