MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON F.BIDAY. APRIL 38, 1381 Twins Spoil Angels' Home Debut; Earl Battev Homers By MILTON RICHMAN , t United Press International i Minnesota's transplanted! Twins have played only a handful of games so far, butj have you noticed no one isj calling them Cookie's Crumj Buns any more, j Even old Ty Cobb is im . pressed by them: Cobb tossed but the first ball in Los Angeles Thursday and then sat back and watch ed Cookie Lavagetto's surpris ing Twins ruin the Angels' ' home debut with a 4-2 victory that catapulted them into first place in the American league. The crowd of 11,931 was considerably below expecta tions but the Twins, whom Cobb last saw as the old ' Washington Senators, certain ly weren't. They spotted the Angeles a two-run lead in the second inning and then took over to register their ninth victory in 12 starts.. . ' Earl Battey, a native of Los Angeles who played his early baseball there, was the local boy who came home to haunt the Angels. His three run homer off Eli Grba in the sixth inning clinched the out come and sent the new AL ' entry down to its eighth loss in nine games. Wins Second Straight , Camilo Pascual won his sec ond straight game although Bay Moore relieved him when Los Angeles threatened in the eighth. Earl Averill's two-run homer in the second repre sented all the Angels' runs. In other AL games, the New York Yankees defeated the Cleveland Indians, 4-3; Boston beat Detroit, 5-2; Chi cago clipped Kansas City, 9-1, and Baltimore blanked Wash ington, 5-0. 1 The Chicago Cubs downed the Cincinnati Reds, S-2, in the only National league game scheduled. Mickey Mantle won the game for the Yankees with a tremendous triple in the seventh inning and then saved the game for winner Art Dit mar with an even more tre " meridous catch in the ninth, With two out, Tony Kubek von second and the score tied at 3-all in the seventh Mantle 'laid into an outside fast ball "served up by Johnny Antonel ,i and rapped it 407 feet against the right center field ' bleacher wall. . Then in the ninth, with two -'out and a Cleveland runner on first, made a brilliant one- handed, knee sliding catch of Bubba Phillips' liner that looked like a sure triple. The victory boosted the Yanks to within a game of the second-place Tigers, who ran afoul of the Red Sox, Reliever Stars Vic Wertz and Russ Nixon each hit two-run homers off Detroit loser Jim Bunning, but the real Boston hero was reliever Dave Hillman. He took over for starter Ike De lock in the third inning and held the Tigers scoreless on three hits the rest of the way to post his first victory of the campaign. Early Wynn pitched a five hitter for the White Sox against the A's for the 288th triumph of his major league career. The 41 - year - old Wynn's job was made easy by M!sf.ie Minoso, who drove in five runs, and Nellie Fox, who collected four of Chi cago's 14 hits, , Lanky Dick Hall, recently acquired from the A's, scored his first victory for the Ori oles with a two-hit effort over the Senators, The only, hits Hall allowed were a fourth inning single by Danny O'Con nell and a ninth inning single Dy joe Hicks. -, -The Cubs had to call on their relief ace, Don Elston, to save Don Card well's victory over tne Reds. Elston, owner of a 4-0 record, took over for Cardwell with the bases full in the eighth, and although he allowed one run he got the next two batters and then' put down another threat in the ninth, Cardwell helped himself with a two-run homer off los er Ken Hunt in the second inning, and another homer by Frank Thomas in the sixth proved to be the winning run.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVots One can imagine that there were more fish than anglers pleased with the opening week end of the 1981 trout season. The rain and snow did more than dampen spirits when it stopped traffic to the several favorite fishing holes. One consolation might be that good fishing will last longer because there are more good fish still swimming around. There probably are a number of those good fish telling their youngsters what a soft life they're having and how lucky they are to be swimming around in the water instead of in a frying pan.

Salt Lake got the jump on the Rainiers when Steve Ja nowski hit his first homer of the season with the bases empty in the second inning. Umphlett wiped that out with his two-run shot in the fourth and the Rainiers added single runs in the fifth and sixth and another pair in the ninth. ' Meal Ticket Erv Paiica, figured to be the meal ticket of the Rainier staff, went 7 1-3 innings and allowed the Bees four hits. Arnold Earley finished it out for Seattle. Vancouver outhit San Diego but got all its runs on a solo homer by Ed Charles and a two-run smash by Frank Torre. It wasn't enough as San Diego came up with some power of its own with Harry Simpson's homer and a triple by Stan Johnson. Al Brice, with help from Ben Wade, won his second game against no losses. Carle Greene, Van couver starter, was charged with the loss to square his slate at 1-1. Hawaii had to come up with runs in the eighth to nip Spo kane. The Islanders trailed 9-7 going into the frame but catcher Jack 'Parks quickly closed that gap as he parked one over the fence with no one on. Jay Ward then singled and Jim Small dropped a double in front of Spokane left field er Mike Goliat. Ray Jablon ski lined a single 'Jp left to send both runners home. Vic Davis, third of four Islander pitchers, picked up his first victory against no losses Don Bessent was the victim of the eighth inning uprising and absorbed the loss: l.IVFSCORES: Vancouver ....100 000 020 3 11 0 San Diego ....000 O02 2ix 5 9 1 Greene.

The forest service, due to the fact that its boundaries are more sharply defined, has lit tle difficulty with outright trespass. Its problems have to do with old mining1 claims that have changed ownership and are now summer homes for persons who wouldn't know a sluice box from an orange crate. Their rights are not clearcut, but this problem should be resolved sooner rather than later. The BLM and forest service are to be encouraged to stop trespass on public lands and along our streams whether it is through willful ignorance or not. ANNOUNCEMENT The Oregon fish commis sion and the Washington state department of fisheries have announced that the Columbia river commercial spring 'Chi nook season opened at noon Thursday, April 27. The April 27 opening, three days earlier than usual, was recommended because the Chinook run is en tering the river earlier this year and moving upstream faster than in previous years. Chinook counts at Bonneville dam are the highest since 1953.- - Tagging studies last year showed that Willamette fish passed the lower river tagging Pet OB .750 .727 .638 .543 .538 .500 .417 ,333 .333 111 iia 2 Mi 3 4 4,i S m Negro Players AtJanta-flJPB - The Atlanta Journal has quoted .

"There's nothing wrong Los Angeles -SOT- Manager Bill Signey today grimly or dered five of his Los Angeles Angels to turn out early for extra hitting practice prior to tonight's second home game with the Minnesota Twins, His neck redder than us ual, Eigney blamed a lack of hitting in key situations Thursday for the Angels' loss of their home opener, 4-2, to the Twins before an audience with this ehib that a few base hits at the right time couldn't help," Rigney said, giving the time-honored manager's la ment. He singled out Bob Cerv, Gene Leek, Ken Aspromonte, Ken Hunt and Fritz Brickell as the men he expected out two hours eaerlier than their mates tonight.

This year all indications are that migration rates is March and April were even higher than last year, CONFLICT ine aocva statements re leased by ihs fish commission ar presented io illustrate the annual problem on any river- who gets how many of the migratory rans? The early opening has been fought tooth and toenail by the sportsfish- ing interests of the Willa mette They ere having one of their poorest seasons so far and are afraid the commercial fishermen are going to deci mate an already small run. Who is right? Or would it be a better -question to ask who has the most right? On the Rogue the problem is between those who fish the lower river and those who fish the middle river. Or between those- who fish ' the middle river " and those who fish, the upper riv er. It could be that the prob lem Is that we have unin formed fishermen arguing de sires instead of facts, and all should have to admit that desires are a poor basis for a decision. Let's get the best facts and use them until more and better ones come along THS ANGLER'S LOG The salmon started flooding in at Gold Beaeh on Tuesday, The canneries were busy despite the few fishermen out. The water tem perature at Savage Rapids was 43 degrees on Saturday and salmon weren't moving, Tuesday saw the temperature at 0 degres and three salmon were caught at Galice, Biggest fish story so far is one of the 46 pound ehinook caught be low Gal tee 2 weeks ago. Ffsh Lake Had a good opening week end and fishing has stayed that way since, A creel count re vealed 4.73 flsh per angler and 1,2 fish per hour. Fish are averaging 12 inches and FF&W as well as FF&3t are doing most of it, Butte Falls road Is In the best shane. Howard Prairie Has the best opening record with a creel count of over seven fish per angier. Lois of five fish over 12 inch limits were taken and the bank fisher men seemed to have the best of it with nightcrawlers taking the honors. Lake of the Woods Has provid ed limits of rainbow and the Jcska nee are hitting. Squaw Lakes Reports excellent fishing with many fish in the 12 to 14 inch bracket. Cluster eggs from the bank or from a boat seems to hit it off the best. A creel count showed 3.12 fish per angler and 1.98 fish per hour. The road was in poor shape but is being graded to be ready for ths week end. Willow CreeV Has been provid ing lots of limits with six to eight inch fish predominating. A creel count showed 3,01 fish per angler and 0.S4 fish per hour. The game commission found kokanee io make up one-third of the sample net tings but so far only 2 have been counted. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER The count at Gold Bar on April 22 was 43 salmon and a total of 939S winter sieel head. Sines most winter steel head are below the counting station it is nice to know we didn't hurt She run this year.
