Ncv.-OIPa-SuBar Riv Rnhinsnn said today that pinvH Patterson should be more concerned with Iniiemar Johanssohn s riRhl hand man with my welfare in my fight with Gene Fullmer.": ' Robinson, 40, who faces his fourth title bout with middle weight Fullmer at the Las Vegas Convention hall Satur day night, smiled wryly wnen reminded of heavyweight champion Patterson's concern for him. Slcndu-r Ray delivered his Williams involved In Hassle Scollsdale, Ariz. - HOT -Former Boston Red Sox slug ger Ted Williams is in the middle of another hassle to day because a Boston baseball writer thought he was feudin' when lie might have been foolin'. Williams'' latest battle In his 20-year-old war with the press developed suddenly Thursday when he passed sportswriter Larry Claflin of the Boston Daily Record in the Red Sox' dugout en route to a press conference. Wil liams shouted at Claflin and raised his right fist causing the writer to throw up his arms !n protection. Other writers were divided as to whether Williams was threatening Claflin or engag ing in horse play but the scribe insisted that the retired slugger was serious. Phone Call Claimed "The name he called me eliminates any possibility that he was fooling," said Claflin, who added that Williams ac cused him of telephoning his cx-wifc last December to ask what Ted had bought their child for Christmas. Williams' accusation made It Claflin's turn to blow his top and the scribe promptly left a note to Williams in the clubhouse challenging him to a "bet of $1,000 that I can go before a He detector and pass a test If asked about calling her or having any knowledge of anyone calling her about a Christmas pres ent." Multi-Club Trade Deal Anticipated ' , By FRED DOWN United Press International Trade reports swept through Florida's spring training camps today with Hie possi bility thai a multi-club doal m ho In the nffinu. Adding fuel to the fire, as ' usual, was general manager Frank Lane of the Kansas City siuiniii-5 wlin freclv conceded that he'd like to land one of the Baltimore Orioles' young niiKhiim ivIiIhm. At the same time the New York Yankees were reported "Talking things over" with the Washington Snnninrx. with Kansas City's George Selkirk "listening in." May Poriuade The key to the situation ap peared to be a belief that the Orioles may be persuaded to part with one of their young stars In order to acquire the power that could bring them their first American league championship. Manager Paul Richards of (he Orioles insisted that he won't even listen tn proposed deals for Chuck Estrada, Milt Pappas, Jerry Walker, Jack Fisher or Steve Barber, but Lane was understood to be offering versatile Dick Wil liams to Baltimore In the hopes of landing Hoyt Wll helm or Hal Brown. Attorneys Told Not To Bother Ingemar Miantl-IUNi-Government at torneys readying their tax case against Ingemar Julians- ion had strict orders today to leave the Swedish heavy weight challenger alone while he prepares for his March 13 light against Floyd Patterson. Federal District Judge Em ail G. Choalc, in extending nn order Thursday tying vip Jo hanssohn's share of the light purse until after the fight, made It clear that Johanssohn was "not to be annoyed be fore the fight" without the Judge's specific permission. "I thmk this is only fair," Choate commented. The U. S. tax collector claims Johanssohn, training al Palm Beach lor the fight, owes $51)8,181 In 'taxes on his earnings from the first two lights wllh Patterson and tele vision fll'd other appearances In this $untry. FRIDAY, MARCH 3. 1961 Fullmer Saturday advice for the heavyweight champ at a news conference. A sports writer informed him that Patterson had said that Sugar Ray should not worry about the rough tactics Fir mer used in the ring, but should concentrate on getting into top condition to beat him, Fullmer Picked For Saturday night's sched uled 15-round fight, Fullmer, of West Jordan, Utah, is fa vored at 8-5 because of his stamina, persistent attack and It-year age advantage. The score for their three previous title bouts stands at one vic tory each, and a draw. Fullmer is recognized as world champion by the Na tion Boxing association. The promoters are hoping for a crowd of 70,000 and a gate of $150,000. ' Kart Races Scheduled On Sunday Go-Karl fans are scheduled for another afternoon of rac ing activity this Sunday at the Medford Kart track south of the Jackson county fair grounds. Races are sponsored by the Medford Go-Kart club. Local drivers continue to tune their pint-sized racers for lop performance and each meet sees the speeds go up as the drivers find ways to gain a little more speed out of their entries. Club officials say that some of the faster karts attain top speeds of nearly 70 miles per hour on the curving track that measures some two-tenths of a mile in length. Entries arc expected from various points in southern Oregon and; northern Cali fornia. Should the weather be good Sunday afternoon a fair sized contingent of Karl fans is expected from Grants Pass. Competition Keen Competition is keen in many classes and the specta tors will witness high speeds and fine abilities of many drivers. John Skinner and Larry Milligan, both of Medford, continue to . battle it out in the A junior division. Neither of these boys is old enough to have a drivers license but this doesn't keep them from com peting nip and tuck on the Kart raceways. Time, trials and qualifying heats are scheduled for 1 p.m., followed by the heat races and trophy runs at 2 p.m. In all competition will be in six classes with trophies going to the winners in each division.

Bigger, stronger and far more skillful than their ad versaries, the Russians com pletely dominated play in the first round Kitnie of the world championship. Russia scored five goals in each of the first two periods beforr the U.S. could dent the n.ls in the fi nal period. In another Group "A" mulch played at Geneva, Thursday, Canada, which Is co-favored with Russia in this tournament, defeated Swe den, 8-1.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank It's a ood thing that the end of the stcclhead season has come because there are some serious matters that de serve the attention of all con servationists hunters, fish ermen, nature lovers, and those people who enjoy just living in this corner of the good green earth. In a way it's too bad thai matters be come so serious that they need be discussed in this col umn, but that's the price we must pay in order to enjoy our natural resources. CLEAN WATER AND AIR Senate Bills No, 36 and 40 are to be voted on by our leg islature in the near future. Their original purpose was io strengthen the ability of the stale sanitary authority to enforce our laws against pol lution. The purpose of No. 36 has been thwarted by amend ments passed with the assist ance of our local state sena tor. Mr. Lyndel Newbry has the ancient bolief that ilreain flow should be used to abate pollution a concept based on ignorance and maintained on prejudice. It has been pro ven time and lime again that thore isn't enough water in our streams to use it for pol lution abatement. There are too many other beneficial uses of water that are op posed to its being polluted. WHAT INDUSTRY? House Bills No. 1497 and 1551, which are designed to open the waters of the Rogue to industrial use, have very little in their favor beyond their initial support. It has been said, on able authority, that no industry has been de nied access to this basin be cause of lack of walcr. The only possible exception to this Is the pulp and paper in dustry. It requires from 25 to 1(10 cubic feet per second for the operation of a mill. WHY NOT? Pulp mills have a iremen dous pollution potential when thore is no recovery of wastes, A Kratt-type mill of 500 tons capacity has the daily pollution equivalent to the sewage from a city of 236.000 population. The sul fite type mill of 500 tons has the daily pollution equivalent to the towage irom a city of 1,910,000 population. This is figured on the basis of how much .oxygen is taken up irom the water. The ellects on a fishery would be to block migratory runs because of the oxygen lack. ' BLOCKADE House Bill No. 1228 was reported on In this column a lew weeks ago. The original purpose of this bill was lo change the water right on Big Bulle creek so that the game commission could build an Impoundment on McNeil creek, a tributary to Big Butle, for n streamside rear ing pond. This purpose was thwarted when the bill was rewritten to include "other parties'' in the change. SELFISHNESS Investigation has found that there it at least one party who It willing to get legislation rewritten for hi. benefit. He wants water lor land he bought In an area where the water problem it critical. The difficulty it in the (act that where one can get water othort can get wat er, and the net result it a dry tream with no water (or the llthery.

THE ANGLER'S LOG One might wonder what kind of fishing news would be possible after the close of the winter steelhead season. There is no closed season for the fisherman who is willing to go where the fishing is pos sible. All the coastal streams in zone 1 will be open to steelhead fishing through the month of March. Orcgonians can fish the Winchuck and the Chetco rivers if they can stand a three hour drive from Medford. The Smith river below the 101 bridge is open also to those with a Cali fornia license. And the Kla math Is open. ALWAYS SOME FISH ' Although the best of the winter steelhead fishing is past, it can be safely said that there are fish yet to be caught that are worth the catching. The ratio of ipawn eri lo bright is high, and on a long stream like the Kla math the fish are colored and dark with very few excep tions. Contrary io the condi tions found on the Applcgate river, a spawnor caught from a short coastal stroam will have white meat that is quite tasteless. These fish should be relumed to the water if it is recognized that they have spawned. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Someday soon the people of Oregon will show their unwillingness to give up what clean water and air we have left. Then Ihey will have achieved a progress similar to thai found in Canada where as of March 11, 1000, there were no pulp mills located on a stream. All Canadian pulp mills are built beside the ocean!

It will have that opportun ity on Saturday night when it plays Klamath Union High school in the final conference game of the slate for both schools. Klamath's Pelicans have three wins this season over league runnerup Medford, with one of them coming when a couple of Pel regulars were missing. This time Med- fed's tallest man probably will be sidelined.
