Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON TUESDAY. JULY 10. 1962 Major League Ballplayers Request Shorter Schedule By SAM FOGG United Preii International Washington - IUPD - Major League ballplayers, feeling that 162 games are "too much," today asked for a curtailed schedule in 1963 and said they would settle for a slate of anywhere from 153 to 156 games. At the same time, the play ers voted unanimously for the continuance of two All -Star games next year. Through their counsel, Judge Robert Cannon, the 20 major league player repre sentatives made a formal rec ommendation that "a more feasible schedule" be adopted next year. They pointed out that the existing schedules pose numerous problems in travel conditions and make it impossible for them to play their best brand of baseball. The players' formal recom mendation was sent to Com missioner Ford Frick, who will confer on the matter with American League President Joe Cronin and National League President Warren Giles. Actually, the formulating of the league schedules is en tirely in the hands of Cronin and Giles, but Frick can be called in on a formal appeal by the players. Make Appeal Monday They made that appeal Mon day and Frank Scott, director of the Major League Players' Association, said, "The play ers are confident that what ever the commissioner does will be in their best interests." There had been speculation that the players might agree to scrap the second All-Star game next year in return for a shortened schedule, but Scott said no such compro mise was discussed. "The players felt they would cross that bridge when they come to it," Scott said. During the major league meeting at Miami Beach, Fla., last December, the National League showed a willingness to go along with the players' desire for two All-Star games in 1963 but Cronin said the American League would okay the two games only for this season. "The American League still feels the same way," Cronin said Monday. IN THE SUMMER. THE. APPLE. OF A MANS EYE.

The owners are scheduled to meet again in De cember but they may hold a special session before that to Reminder Given On Rules About Antelope Tags Portland - Elk and ante lope hunters are reminded that only those hunters who have not received a cow elk permit or an antelope tag in the past two years may file application for the 1962 hunts. Persons who have received such permits and tags are not eligible to file applications. This regulation of a two year lapse for successful ap plicants was adopted by the game commission several years ago on antelope and last year on elk to distribute the limited number of ante lope tags and cow elk permits among as many hunters as possible. Antelope hunters are also reminded of a new regulation this year which prohibits fil ing party applications for the hunts. Under this new ruling each antelope hunter must file an individual application. Party applications for cow elk permits will be allowed this year, but the number of applicants filing for a party hunt next year will be cut from four Individuals to two individuals. Up to four appli cants may file this year by so marking on their applica tion and sending all cards in together. Elk hunters planning to file as a party are urged to screen their hunting partners carefully. If a single mem ber of this group received an elk permit during the past two years, all hunters in the party automatically become ineligible. Hunters are not restricted in filing applications in the units which permit bull elk hunting on a permit basis only. Hunters who received bull permits last year may re file again this year. These areas include the Clatsop, Trask, Siuslaw and Douglas units. Sheltie Records Highest Score Alpha Gay Tobin O'Tad, Shetland sheepdog owned and handled by May Brown, Mcdford, was the highest scoring dog in obedience at the Umpqua Kennel club show in Roseburg on Sunday, July 8.

Interstate Deer Herd Tabulated Portland The interstate deer herd which winters in the Devils Garden country in the Modoc national forest in California and summers in the Fremont national forest of Oregon showed a minimum number of just over 12,000 animals this spring. This is the number obtained from the annual track count completed on May 18 by the Oregon game commission and the California department of fish and game. The interstate deer herd is the only deer herd in Oregon on which an accurate count can be made. As the animals move northward across the state line road on their an nual migration, the track tal ly is made on a specially pre pared strip 36 inches wide and 23 miles long. The road bed is smoothed out for track counting every 48 hours. Although the tally is accu rate, it represents the mini mum number of deer migrat ing north. Some animals are missed during inclement weather, and where large herds cross the road only those tracks that can be defi nitely determined are tallied. This year's count of 12,112 deer compare with the 16 year average of 13,319 and a count of 13,091 in 1961. The lowest count during the 16 years was in 1948 when just over 9,600 deer were tallied while the highest count was in 1954 when just over 17,600 deer were recorded.

Word of Lightner's retire ment was greeted with disbe lief in not a .ew quarters be cause friends, associates and newsmen in search of stories have b"en told many time be fore that Al was hanging em up. But this time it was official. Al has deserted the striped hirt and whistle after 17 years in the big-time, includ ing 13 NCAA regional tourna ments, five national cham pionships and two national AAU tournaments. But wherever he went the colorful former minor league baseball player who now is a newspaper sports editor, at tracted crowds-and frequent ly trouble. Students in his home country around Univer sity of Oregon and Oregon State used to go to basketball games just to boo Al. As a referee he made na tional headlines more than once. In 1956 he forfeited a game at Berkeley, Calif., to the University of Southern California when the California students started throwing pen nies at the officials and the players. Protects Wilt "1 hope next time they throw dollar bills," said Light ner. "They don't hurl as much and they spend easier." The next year he was ac cused of protecting Negroes Will Chamberlain and Maur ice King of Kansas in an NCAA regional game in Texas , "I didn't intend going 2,000 miles to fight the Civil war all over again," said Lightner. But Al made a lot of friends, too. There was the night at Moscow, Ida., when the fans closed in on him after Oregon had beaten Idaho in a bitter game. Lightner was be ginning to wonder if he was Loscutoff, an Oregon forward now with the Boston Celtics, "if you take him you're going to have to take me too!" The crowd dispersed with stun ning stillness. But if he won a lot, Light ner lost a few. Unlike the ster eotyped official who always remains calm, Al go mad . . . good and md, if pushed too fur. Persistant Heckler They still talk about the 1955 NCAA regionitls at Cor vallis, Ore., where Al was working a consolation game between Idaho State and Colo rado State. Both coaches, the fans and even the press box were pitching static at the of ficials. There was one per sistent heckler, with a fog horn voice, but Lightner couldn't pick him out among the players on the benches and others in the area. Finally one comment caught Al's cars as he ran by. He blew his whistle, snarled "technical foul" and whirled and pointed at the location of the voice. His finger aimed directly at San Francisco sports writer Boh Brachman. In the expectant hush thai followed Brachman's voice "I got myself into this, I'll got myself out of it," Lightner muttered to himself. He called a jump ball. nA7 Builders Supply QUALITY BLOCKS Chimneyi A I Preitrciied i it I 4w PHONE 773-457S Biiill r"" - ' - '- r'nr-' -.....i FRONT END "e"d"kLTX iiiiiiMniT and snake and ALIGNMENT stiff steering 77 z..: ....
