Portland, Spokane Push Seattle Out of Spotlight By ROM SUPINSKI ihon... i7,x... bw...- MEDFOltD NAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON FRIDAY. JUNE 7. IMS United Prtu International Surging Spokane and Pep- fj ruruana are pushing atumbling Seattle out of the spotlight in their ding-dong battle for second place in the Northern division of the Pa cific Coast league. In the Southern Division. San Diego and Dallas-Fort Worth are two for the see saw in their dog fight for first place. Spokane lefthander Nick Willhite allowed only two hits in beating Denver 3-1 Thursday night while Dick Green's two-run homer pow ered Portland to a 6-5 win over Seattle. It was Seattle's seventh loss in eight games and dropped the Rainiers into fourth place, their lowest ebb of the sea son. Seattle went into its skid shortly after the parent Bos ton Red Sox recalled Wilbur Wood, the Rainiers' ace left handed who was leading the PCL with an earned-run av erage of 1.12. Wood had a 5-2 record. Padre1 Power . Home runs by Mel Queen and Art Shamsky backed four-hit pitching by Ted Wills and George McWilliams to give San Diego a 4-0 shutout of Dallas-Fort Worth. It was merely a return favor be cause the Texans had blanked the Padres the two previous nights. As a result of its win, San Diego sliced the Rangers' lead to IVi games. In other contests. Salt Lake City erupted for seven runs in the fourth inning to chase bonus pitcher Bob Garibaldi while overwhelming Tacoma 11-3, and three home runs helped Oklahoma City walu to an 11-7 victory over last place Hawaii. Only 2Vi games separate Spokane, Portland and Se attle. Spokane is four games behind firstplace Tacoma, Portland 6 and Seattle 6Vj. Next comes Hawaii which is only 8 games off the pace. Bonus Baby Gets Help Portland scored four runs in the fourth inning and held on for its one-run victory over Seattle. Winner was bonus pitcher Lew Krausse. 5-4, who was signed by the Kansas City Athletics tor a reported $125,000. Ramon Hernandez relieved Krausse in the fifth and was untouchable. Seattle starter Jerry Stephenson suf fered his fourth loss against a single win. Portland 101 400 000 8 10 1 Seattle 201 020 000 5 0 3 Krauaie, Hernandez (S) and Bry an; Stephenson. Boyle (41. R. G.

Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DeVon B 3 The Rogue River spring Chinook are in the midst of their yearly spawning run and it appears that the total count over the board at the Gold Ray counting station will be comparable to or high er than last year's run of 33, 000 fish. The number of anglers also appears to have increased as the word spreads that the chinooks are in and biting. Those new to the game might enjoy knowing more about what they are chasing. WHEN AND WHERE . Spring-run Chinook enter the Rogue on the rise of water temperatures in February or early March. The run con tinues at the mouth of the river into June. These fith migrate to preferred spawn ing areas in the main channel of the upper Rogue and estab lish a summer holdover. Early runners go high in the basin and later arriving fish choose areas progressively lower. Spawning does noi occur until September and October.. The run appears in the Grants Pass area between March 3 and 20 and peaks there in May. The first fish at the Gold Ray counting sta tion arrive in mid-April with a peak formed in June. Some of the run is still being tallied in September. Only a few stragglers of the run fail to go above Gold Ray. Preferred sections of the upper river used for summer holdover are located from points above McLeod down to below Bybee bridge with heaviest use in the Rogue Elk to Shady Cove section. A por tion of the run moves into Big Butt creek which is the only tributary of the Rogue basin used by these salmon. SPECULATION There are observers who claim that the pattern of sea sonal runoff in river flow in fluences the rate of migra tion of spring chinook and steelhead. In other words the fish seem able to predict what the water flows will be two or three months later. In the spring prior to a sum mer with below average wat er flows, these fish make a frantic rush to holding areas in the headwaters. On good water seasons they take their own sweet time getting there. lingering in ine holes and riffles along the way. WHO CATCHES THEM? At the mouth of ih. river the peak of the iishery occurs in April and May.

New York -Wb- Quarter back Ralph Guglielmi, the former Notre Dame star who served as understudy to Y. A. Tittle last season, has return ed his signed contract to the New York Giants for the 1963 National Football league campaign. when the lower river catch was first measured, the an nual tkt has averaged i.SS9 fish. More ot these spring fish are caught upstream. The annual catch from salmon boards ranges from 300 to 100 fish in the middle section of the river. Above Gold Ray surveys In 1951 disclosed that nearly 1900 spring sal mon war taken by anglers from this section of river. The total annual spring chinook run entering the Rogue aver ages about 29,000 fish. -THE LIFE CYCLE The first spawning of spring chinook in the Rogue system takes place in early September in the extreme reaches of the upper river. Week by week, the peak of spawning activity can be traced downriver to places occupied by stragglers of the run. When spawning is com pleted all adult salmon die. Even those late-season fish in excellent condition which spawn near the head of tide water die upon completion of the life cycle. Spring chinook salmon fry start emerging from the gra vel in late December and continue through April or into early May. A large por tion of the juvenile chinooks spend their first year migrat ing slowly down river, hold ing through the first winter in the lower 30 miles and entering the Pacific ocean in the spring of their second year of life. Most river chinook mature and return to the river in their fourth year. An average year's run contains IS per cent jacks (sexually preco cious 3rd-year males), 78 per cent 4-year olds, 5 per cent 5-year olds, and 2 per cent 6 year olds. THE ANGLER'S LOG The weather has slowed the fishing both In the lakes and 'on the river. T h weatherman isn't loo optimis tic regarding the next S days he's calling for continued cool and dampish air. He also thinks there is more of the same brewing in th. Gulf of Alaska, and that it mar reach her th middle of the week. - Rojua River still slow on trout but speedier on the chinooks. usi weeic ena was terrific for many who were flshlns for salmon and eatchlnr them. Quite a chanae from last year when the chlnooki wwrw mere out noi oiuns. Blower durlne the week. Diamond Lake A. bent pin with aome shine seems enough for catching rainbow. Tha tiull. brnh. ably la closer to the fact that It la such a chanse from last year that uic lumnc is laoujoua Dy com parison. Some bl( kam loops are Pish Lake Has been food for those able to stand the weather. Mornlne- and evenings are best be cauie of the lack of wind at that time. Brook and rainbow trout from 8 to 18 Inches are providing limits for those who know how. I rour Mile lie ntn nr ta f,hn. lous for those after the kokanee. They're running 8 to 12 Inches and taking worms or eggs fished near the bottom. The trout In the lake are still somewhat shy with catches up to 1 j pounds. The road was reported passable to all vehicles. Howard Prairie Has been pretty rough for the boat fishermen be cause of the wind that has kept the lake atirred up. Early morning and late afternoons have been good to those fishing the shallows at the north end Trolled or drifted files are good. Hyatt Lake The weather has been such that the fish have been far more comfortable than the fish ermen, but those who can stand it have been taking some nice fish. Trolling files or sttllflshlng with cheese or eggs does the trick. Willow Lake The few fisher men out are finding split limits of rainbow and kokanee by fishing worms off the bottom. Largest fish for the week was a rainbow 30 inchea long weighing about . 4 pounds. THE OPTIMISTS CORNER If all fishermen are liars It must be because of the unpredlrtablllty of the fish they pursue. It's far easier Co say uie inn are oiling than to get a certain fish to agree to cooperate by being caught. This is the enjoyment of fishing. Fisher men can also be enjoyed because yon never know when or which one is going to ten a dis ns. GOOD LUCK!
