Pirates Look to Home Stand In Closing Push for Pennant By GARY K'ALE United Press International The Pittsburgh Pirates ever mindful of Ilia disastrous 1938 finish when they were overhauled by the Chicago Cubs in a late September drive, are overlooking all superstitions when the num ber 13 pops up as the likely total of victories needed to nail down their first National league pennant since 1927. Pittsburgh is currently leading the NL by seven games, the same margin the Pirates held going into the last month of the 1938 season. The Bucs now have 28 games remaining. By playing .500 ball, Pittsburgh would have an overwhelming ad vantage over second-place Milwaukee, which would have to take 22 of its last 28 games to win. A quick calculation by Manager Danny Murtaugh, however, may have him hark back to that other season when the Cubs won exactly 22 games in their stretch drive. Harvey Haddix, Clem La bine and Roberto Clemente eased Murtaugh's misgivings somewhat Thursday when they led Pittsburgh to a 6-1 victory over San Francisco. The triumph was the fourth in a row for the Pirates as they headed for a home stand where they hope to duplicate the .78 percentage turned in the last time Pittsburgh host ed the league at Forbes Field. In other National league games Milwaukee took sole possession of second place with a 10-1 victory over Chi cago while Cincinnati was beating St. Louis, 7-4, and Los Angeles edged Philadelphia, 3-2, in 11 innings, in night games, Cleveland defeated Kansas City, 7-3, in the only Ameri can league action. Haddix Win. Tenth Haddix, who won his 10th game, and L a b i n e, who pitched the last 3 1-3 innings, stranded 15 Giant base run ners, Clemente led the Pirate's 10-hit parade with his 13th homer of the year and two sin gles. His wallop off loser Georges Maranda came in the first inning with two on. Wil lie Mays drove in San Fran cisco's lone run in the first when, he sineled behind An dre Rodgers' triple. Joe Adcock hit his 20th and 21st homers and Bill Bruton clouted his 10th as the Braves racked up 25 total bases on 11 hits. Each of Adcock's homers came with a man aboard. Bob Buhl scattered six hits in win ning his 13th game. Al Heist's triple drove in Chicago's run in the eighth inning. Dick Drott, making his first start since July 2, dropped his sixth decision without a vic tory this season. Vada Pinson's three-run home for Cincinnati, his 16th, broke a 3-3 tie in the seventh inning and gave Bob Purkey his 15th victory. Bob Gibson's fifth defeat dropped the Car dinals into third place, a half game behind Milwaukee. George Crowe, who extends his major league record every time he hits a pinch homer, got the 14th of his career when he batted for Gibson in the eighth. Walt Moryn also homered for St. Louis. Drysdale Ties Record A bases loaded single by pinch hitter Duke Snider gave Don Drysdale his 12th win for Los Angeles. Drysdale struck out 13 Phillie batters to raise his season's total to 207. It marked the second successive year he has struck out 200 or more, enabling STANDINGS United Press International NATIONAL LEAGUE W Pltlsbureh 79 Milwaukee 71 St. Louis 71 (Los Angeles ...... 68 San Francisco .... 62 CineinnaU 37 GB Chicago 51 Philadelphia 48 Pet. .617 .563 7 .559 714 .544 9 IS, .496 15(4 .442 22 4 .405 27 .375 31 Thursday's Results Milwaukee 10 Chicago 1 Pittsburgh 6 San Francisco 1 Cincinnati 7 St. Louis 4 (night) Los Angeles 3 Philadelphia 2 (11 innings, night) AMERICAN LEAGUE W L New York 75 Baltimore 76 Chicago 72 Washington 64 Cleveland 61 Detroit 59 Boston 55 Kansas City 45 Pet.

I. C The latest word from the fish and wildlife service indi cates that the temperature flow studies of the Rogue will provide data that may spell the difference , between the river continuing its gradual loss of migratory fish runs and its regaining these same runs to a degree. If the river is to recover it must have more and colder water during the summers, and a dam is the only way to make the water available. BETTER FISHING The passage of Public Law 85624 indicates that the people of this country are willing to pay for bet ter fishing. The money used to build dam that will im prove the migratory fishery of the Rogue river will be a good investment for fu ture generation to enjoy. The two fish runs most in need of help, the summer steelhead and the spring Chinook salmon, are a stock that have the highest of in terest values. Our biggest Job will be to convince the rest of the country that the Rogue is worth the initial expense-when we go to Congress and ask for the money to build a high dam that will repay part of its cost with better fishing. ARCHERY CLOSURE Robins who are preparing to nock and let fly at one of those fat Green Springs deer had better check on the boundaries of the fire closure. The closed area will be from Jenny creek to the Klamath river and from the California line to the Buck lake region. LOSER'S LUCK Some people just don't like to, catch their fish in an orthodox manner. One fisherman at Howard Prai rie last Saturday lost his rod overboard while bait fishing and after grappling for it for some time, finally retrieved it and found a fat 21 inch trout had hooked itself in the meantime. The angler wasted no time in fightinng and - landing S pounds of bonus fish. THE ANGLER'S LOG The biologist's report from the coast gives a total catch nf Rome river fall chinook 1312 by August 17. He states that this is good com. pared to previous years and if it continues will be the hPt in some time. Right now the fishing is slow because of the work on the Jetty et tne mouth of the river. There are quite a few steel head in the river and still more on the way. Lots of fish have been seen rolling in the Gallce area and on down but they aren't taking too readily. A few have been taken with flies and hot shots from the Robertson bridge to Hog creek run. Most of them are small - halfpounders, most likely. Diamond Lake-No report from the lake but no fisher men have been unhappy for the past week. Fishing has been good with flies and small flatfish producing well. The fish seem to have moved into the shallows and are tak ing close to the surface. Fish Lake-Has been the best producer all summer and is still holding its own. The water is low but it doesn't make any difference, the fish are taking bait and small lures without much preference. Four Mile Lake-The water is cooling and the trailers are picking up rainbow and brookies. FF&W will do the job. Howard Prairie-The still- fishermen' seem to have the right answer for the present. Clusters of fresh salmon eggs or worms are doing it and close to the bank. Klamath Luke-Trout fish ing is slow, but the catfish and perch are still going strong in Crystal creek. Squaw Lakes Fishing '., is good. Trolling FF&W or FF&flatfish is best. Stillfistv ing with cluster or single eggs is fair. The lake is down and the fish are hungry. Willow Creek - Fishing is dead. The surprising news from this lake is that game commission nets have brought up several fat trout that seem to be enjoying a peaceful life. The Kokanee are 6V4 inches long and won't be available until 1962.. Cole Riv ers doesn't think there are as many trout as there should be and he suspects that the planting of last year did not survive. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The adder bypassing the falls on the Illinois river is expected to be completed on schedule and will be used by the silver salmon during their spawning mi gration. The ladder will af fect the steelhead run this winter but no one knows the exlf-nt as yet. Most cer tainly the river will provide more spawning area for more fish, a welcome change. GOOD LUCKI McCOY . LOSES WHEEL California boys will be favored to take top money when the super-modified auto racing season closes out Saturday night on the Ashland Speed way. However, the local drivers are getting the feel of high-powered engines In ultra light chassis and are expected to challenge strong for entry in the winner's circle. Time trials will be at 7 p.m. with racing to start at 8 p.m. Here, a vehicle -skippered by Jack McCoy, Ashland, spins after losing a wheel in the last races at the Ashland oval. Among other performers seeking honors will be Art Pollard, defending northwest champ, and Ed Brown, current southern Oregon titlist. Jer ry Fanger, Medford, will drive for the first time in a fine mount from the Portland cir cuit. Owner Don Rice, Medford, will chauf fer the machine Fanger has been skippering. (Birchfield photo) Time, History, Religion, Mythology in Background Of Olympic Competition By BILL BOWERMAN Oregon Track Coach The Olympic Games are on, and last Friday the Bower mans were still in Eugene. A few minor circumstances such as cables across r o a ds for low flying Falcons have conspired t o delay our de parture until Saturday. The track and field starts on W e d n e sday. Bin uowerman Our a r r i val was noon Monday. Time, history, religion, and mythology have all contrib uted to the Olympic Games as we know. them. More than 100 years ago, Oregon became a state. Two-hundred eighty four years ago, 13 colonies be came the United States of America. Four-hundred sixty eight years ago, Christopher Columbus first laid eyes on the Americas.. Fascinating? Ancient? The Olympic games origination is lost in the legends of folk lore of antiquity. It is a mat ter of record that they were actively engaged in by the Greeks and later by the Medi terranean cultures for 1,200 years. . . . . It was generally recognized by the Greeks that their Gods dwelt , on Mount Olympus. Zeus, Poseidon, Hcstia, Athena, and a host of lesser deities. It became the custom, besides the usual homage to the Gods, to have a religious festival each Olympiad. This period is equal to about (our of our years. The original Olympic Festival was largely religious in nature. The only competitive activity was 'the climax of the Festival when a foot race of about 200 yards was run. 'So important was this Festival that all political bickering came to end and wars were discontinued dur ing the period of the observa tion of Olympiad. . f The first written record of a Champion was of a lad named Coroebus from the vil lage of Elas who won the race in the year 776 B.C. During the next 1,200 years the games were held without interruption. The character changed somewhat as more and more different kinds of competition were added. Wrestling, boxing, spear throwing, discus tossing. The "athlos" (athletic is derived from this) or prize given to Coroebus was a simple olive wreath. Down through the years the prize became a bit more extravagant as the con tests became more spectacular each four-year period. It was not uncommon for slave maid' ens to be awarded and it was nothing at all for chariots to be the prize. In the year 394 A.D. the Roman Emperor, Theodosius, who was also a Christian, de cided that spectacular events dedicated to Pagan Gods were a lot of nonsense. Also, Pa cific Coast or Agcan Coast conference had a clause that prevented the awarding of convertible chariots. For these two reasons the Olympic Games were discontinued. Now we are celebrating the 17th of the Modern Games, an idea generated from the mind of a French nobleman. Believing that much good could come, from friendly as sociation and competition, the first of the modern games was held in Greece in 1896. The purposes of the Games are: Competition among individ uals to promote understand ing among nations. The Olympic torch is burn ing, the competition will be the best ever known in this world. Let us hope that we can have somewhere near as much understanding among the world's political leaders as the athletes will bring out of the Olympic village in Roma, Italia, League Leaders Unttrd Press International NATIONAL LEAliUK Player & Club G AH K 11 Pet Larker, L A 123 344 42 117 .340 Groat, Pfih 129 545 60 176 .323 Clmnte, Pch. ..118 4ti2 74 149 .323 Cepeda, S.F. ..122 472 64 144 .305 Ashburn.
