FRIDAY. AUGUST 31. 1962 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Dodgers Lead Slashed to 21 Games; Reds Help Out Giants By FRED DOWN UPI Sporti Writer It's up to tlie San Francisco Giants to overtake the Los Angeles Dodgers now-lhanks to a last-gasp victory by the Cincinnati Reds. The Reds dropped the first two games of their crucial three-game series with the Dodgers and are all but mathematically out of the Na lional league race but their 5-4 victory Thursday night kept the Giants within range of the front-runners. Turning into the last month of the season, the Dodgers hold a 2''2-Kamc lead over the Giants and a 5'-game bulge over the Reds. The Reds' Thursday night victory followed the Giants' 3-2 triumph over the Milwau kee Braves and means the Giants can still strike paydirt with a fast finish. The Reds? Well, it sure was a brilliant coup (hey pulled off in 1901. But this is 1U62. The Giants moved to with in 2'2 games of the lead when Jack Sanford, aided by five relief pitchers, ran his per tonnl winning streak to 13 games and raised his season record to 19-6. The Reds just did hold on, after scoring four runs in the first inning and cruising behind the shutout pitching of Jim O'Toole, when the Dodgers rallied for four runs in tlie last of the ninth. Mays Hit 40th Jim Davenport, returning to the lineup after missing 34 games with a homer in the sixth inning. Willie Mays hit his 40th homer and Orlando Cepeda hit his 32nd as the Giants dealt 14-gamc winner Warren Spahn of the Braves his 12th defeat of the season. The Reds tagged Stan Wil liams for four runs in the first inning and it looked like nn easy victory for them until the ninth when the Dodgers scored four runs before Jim Brnsnan finally retired the fide. It was the 14th win of the season for O'Toole, who lias lost 13 games.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVost The spring chinook salmon is the prima donna of the Pa cific salmon tribe, and has been one of the most difficult fish to handle using hatchery methods. Because of the fame of this fish, both as a fighter and as a meal, every effort of our fish and game commis sions is to augment the exist ing runs, and to continually find better ways of doing this. SOMETHING NEW New techniques in holding adult spring chinook salmon are being employed by Ore gon fish commission person nel below Lookout point and Dexter dams on the Middle Willamette river some 30 miles southeast of Eugene. As the fish swim upriver and are confronted by the impound ments, they find a fish ladder at the base of Dexter, which they ascend into specially built holding ponds. Until last year, the fish were held there until "ripe or ready lo spawn, then the eggs were taken at the Dexter ponds by halcherymen and hauled to the commissions Willamette River Salmon Hatchery near Oakridge, 40 miles above the two dams, This hatchery was built by the j Corp of Engineers to aid in maintaining the fish runs which were blocked by the impoundments. Here the fer tilised eggs were placed in troughs and allowed to hatch, and then the young fish were placed in concrete raceways o be reared for almost a year before their journey to the sea. COOL. CLEAR WATER According to Ernie Jeffries, director of fish culture, condi tions at the Dexter holding ponds during late summer and early fall have resulted in severe adult salmon mortali ties every year since opera tions began in 1953. Last year a small dirt holding pond was constructed a t Willamette Hatchery and part of the fish were transferred from Dexter I STILL PITCH THEM TIGHT Says $ DON DRYSDALE In 195!), I)xIkit pitcher Don Drysriale hit 18 butters, highest, in the National League since 1915. And for four years, he lead the league in knocking down hatters. This year, that is the only record he's not threatening. Drysdale denies any new-found kindliness. In Familv Weekly he tells why he has calmed his temper ard the reasons he is headed for a top record winning season. He sure to read, "IhixcboU's Had Rny Turns Coixi."

McAndrews Road 772-5271 to the new cooler water pond. female mortalities dropped to 5 per cent as compared to 36-68 per cent in previous years," Jeffries stated. With i this large decrease in losses, it appeared practical to con-1 struct another holding pond at the hatchery and haul a larger share of this year's adults to these two ponds until ready for spawning. After the fish arrive at the Dexter ponds, they are seined, sorted and loaded into a large liberation truck complete with ice for cooling and a circula tion pump. Malachite green is then introduced into the wa ter to inhibit any fungus growth, and the fish are off for the hatchery holding ponds. "About 70 fish are hauled in each load," Jeffries said, "and to date this year, 684 salmon have been hauled from Dexter to the hatchery with very few mortalities." MORE HATCHES Jeffries also pointed out that last year 96 per cent of the eggs taken from the fish in the hatchery holding pond hatched out, compared with only Bl per cent from the fish held at the Dexter ponds. As an interesting sidelight, last year 807 spring chinook returned to the Dexter ponds, and so far this year, over 1,400 fish have arrived, with more expected. SO WHAT? One might ask what this has to do with the Rogue valley, and the answer is that the Rogue has one of the biggest runs of spring chinooks on the West coast. Any information on this specie of salmon is val uable to us, and since high temperatures are a factor in the life cycle of the Rogue salmon, it can be seen that this is one of the prime limit ing factors in the maintenance of the run. THE ANGLER'S LOG The usual stresi of frustra tion of a type that doesn't de press the fishermen is now upon us. The lakes are start ing to pick up from the sum mer doldrums, the steelhead art heading up the coastal rivers, and the salmon are be ginning to congregate at the river mouths for their annual migration. II certainly is f joy to have to try to choose between three mutually enjoy able activities. Klamath River la having one of the biggest yean it hai ieen for many seasons. The mouth of the river is the scene of a most concentrated attempt by game hogs to catch salmon. Anyone wishing to watch sportsmanship as it exists when too many people want the same thing should go and observe. Rogue Hiver Reports of steel head being taken in the Galice area give garden hackle the nod as the prime fish catcher. Salmon caught at the mouth are reported to be ir. the nuge Class, eismng has been sporadic because of the windy conditions. Diamond Lake Has been gener ally good. Limit catches of 3-year-old fish are being taken by still fishing with worms. Good catches of 6 to 10-inch fish are being mdde with flies, flatfish, and FF&W. The smaller fish make up 72 per cent of the catch. Boats are aver aging 1.5 fish per angler. Water temoerature is 65 decrees and there are no floating weeds. The mornings are cold. Theie is plen ty of camping space for the week end. Fish Lake Nice catches oi rain bow and brook trout are being made bv those anglrrs who know what the fish enjoy biting. This seems to be no problem at this lake because the fish will take anything. Catches will be com posed of 6 to 18 inchers. Howard Prairie la improving after its slight slump to provide fish that are bigger than ever. Limits are composed of 5 fish be cause it is impossible to catch one under 12 inches. There are quite a few 3 to 5 pounders being taken every day. The game commission has just planted 500, OCO fingerlings to make sure there are enough to go around next ear. Klamath Lake Is providing plenty of perch and catfish in the creeks by Harriman's resort. There are trout bouncing around in Pell can Bay, but not many fishermen seem to be interested. Lake of the Woods Fishing It good. Best catches are being made stillfishing with cheese or worms. Willow Lake Fishing ts fair. The catches are more rainbow and fewer kokanee. They are takinr FF&W FF&ff. and by stillfishinjt with eggs. The fish are 12 to IT Inchers. THE OPTIMIST'SCORNER The spring chinook run of the Rogue river needs cooler waters for its migratory cycle. The proposed dam at Lost creek is essential if we wish the run lo have more opti mum conditions for survival. The good old days are gone with the Indians. The good new days are ahead of us.
