HJPu The college basketball "fix" trial ended with a note of anti climax Thursday in the sen tencing of five admitted brib ers, all New Yorkers and state's witnesses In the con victions of two St. Louis gam blers. The defendants, Steve Le kometros and Dave Goldberg, had been sentenced to eight years imprisonment, lessened by three years through the paynrent of fines and court costs when the five prosecu tion witnesses approached the bench of Superior Court Judge Heman R. Clark. Aaron Wagman and Joseph Greene, two "payoff" men who bribed a number of North Carolina State college players to "shave points," were grant ed continuances of judgment. Solicitor Lester V. Chalm ers said without their testi mony the St. Louis men could not have been convicted. Judge Clark said that since Wagman and Greene were still being tried on like charg es from New York City to Florida, more prison sentences would produce "unjust re sults." Paul Walker was sentenced to 18 months in jail for his part in the score rigging oper ation and Mike Scigal and Lou Barshak, who admitted trying to corrupt one State player, each drew three years probation. Kckometros and Goldberg were free on a total bond of $70,000 pending their appeals. able player award two weeks ago, to give New York two of the most coveted individual honors in the league. Tresh, following In the foot steps of shortstop Tony Ku bek 1957 rookie winner, took over in the New York in field when Kubek entered the Army. Playing 111 games at shortstop, Tresh moved into the outfield for 43 more games when Kubek returned from the service to reclaim his job. The son of former major league catcher Mike Tresh, Tom batted .286 with 178 hits in 157 games, 94 runs scored, 93 runs driven in, 26 doubles, five triples and 20 home runs. Tresh collected 13 of the ballots from two BBWA members in each of the 10 American league cities.

Any fisherman can find some enjoyment in fighting the creeks an'' rivers in search of trout or steelhead, but who can enjoy a creek or river of muddy water cascading through the yard - especially when there isn't any fishing to be had? DAMAGES Tha fall and early winler period is in worst lima for a flood in lht Rogut rivar drainage. The spring Chinook begin spav ning in late Au gust and early September, which means that the Salmon fry will be coming out of the gravel about now. Those that are not out of the gravel and those that may be out but do not have the yolk sack absorb ed are bound to be casualties. This may have a disastrous affect on the number of fish that constitute the run or cycle of this year. It was this year's run that returned over 200 per cent of the parent run of four years ago, and it would be loo bad if last week's flood offsets this gain. The fall salmon and silver salmon are just completing their spawning cycle and it will be a wonder 11 a large part of these runs isn't lost by siltalion and erosion of the spawning beds. There was some speculation as lo wheth er or not these fall run fish were in greater number this year. This speculation may be laid lo rest because it doesn't matter loo much now that the flood has done its damage. PAYMENT There are some fishermen who hold that a flood is not entirely a destructive influ ence. It is their belief that all streams' need a periodic cleansing and that a flood is nature's way of getting the job done. Anyone who fishes along stream banks has to ad mit that there is a gradual accumulation of debris and material that would frustrate any fish looking for clean gravel. It is only the most sterile stream that can keep a clean bottom, and to remove all possibility of high water Senator Manager Makes Player Deals ' Washington - IUPD - General Manager George Selkirk, who promised "a number of changes" among the Washing ton Senators, backed up his word Thursday by obtaining three new players in a five man deal with the Baltimore Orioles. Completing his second deal since taking over his new job with the Senators, Selkirk ob tained infielder Marv Breed ing, outfielder Barry Shetrone and pitcher Art Quirk from the Orioles for pitcher Pete Burnside and infielder Bob Johnson.

A HAPPV MEDIUM Happy mediums are the most difficult circumstances lo find in human experience. Most of us are more familiar with the extremes we run into. The extreme of a flood is a good example: In a dry, polluted stream we wish for a rush of clean, cool water, and during a flood we wish for a lot less of such a good thing. Where or when will we find enough water lo sat isfy the fisherman, Ihe irriga tor, the industrialist, and the character who insists on build ing his home at the water's edge? I don't know, but it will be fun trying. HEARSAY The manager of the Grants Pass Irrigation district has a tale of woe regarding the fish screens at Savage Rapids dam. These are the screens that many of us give credit as the cause of the increases in our salmon and steelhead runs. The district manager claims that many thousands of downstream migrant salm on and steelhead are being killed at the screens because they are not operating effec tively. It is claimed that they operate only part of the time during the peak of the migra tion period due to overheat ing of the motors turning the screens. It is the district's contention that the cost of operating and maintaining the screens is beyond their financial capacity, and that the district needs help in their concern for the losses in the screens. What a Change! THE ANGLER'S LOG According lo what reports are available from those riv ers that are fishable, the win ter steelhead runs are in and going strong. Big, silvery, tackle-busting steelhead are beginning their yearly trek lo their spawning beds and are defying anyone to stop them. Chftco River Should be fish able hy the week end and full of f lump fish. No reports as yet. but f the Smith river Is any indi cation It should be hot. Illinois River Too much mud. Klamath River Is expected to he fishable by the week end. There ought to be plenty of fish in the upper end near IronRate dam. If you go that far you had better brine, your own rock to stand on, space Is at a premium. Try an Okie drifter with a piece Of niehtcrawler. SmIUi River Mieht he too low by the week end but the stories of yesterday tell of fish that break 20-pound line like they don"t know it's there. Eees or spin-n-fflns seem to hBve the magic. Rogue Rtver Wait a week. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER Wives of fishermen who work during the week should be proud of those spouses who are unable lo continue working and insist upon a rest cure on the Smith river. These men clearly possess a rock-like courage thai I lack.
