2 B rillDAY. JUNE 21, 1983 MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON Jose Azgug Cog As Indians Maintain Sizzling AL Pace United Prast International Somebody goofed on Joie Azcue, who might have wound up his career in the minora had he not been given one more chance by the Cleveland Indians a month ago. Azcue had previous trials with the Cincinnati Reds and Kansas City As, both of whom had written him off as weak hitter with only trlple-A potential. But the Indians acquired him from Portland of the Pa cific Coast league in a trade with Kansas City a month ago and have been congratu lating themselves ever since. Taking over as Cleveland's No. 1 catcher when receiver Johnny Romano broke ling er in late May, tha 23-year-old Azcue has fashioned a solid 303 batting mark that has helped make the Indians the hottest club in the majors for the month of June. Azcue helped the Indians to their 18th victory In their last 21 games Thursday night when he drove in four runs with a pair of homers tn an 11-8 decision over me nam more Orioles. Gain Five Places With Azcue behind the plate in practically all their games the last three weeks, the Indians have spurted from ninth place to fourth, only 3i games off the pace. Even with Azcue's two hom ers Thursday night, however, the Indians still needed an other grand slam homer by Max Alvis during a six -run seventh inning to overcome the Orioles. Woodie Held of the Indians and losing pitcher Dick Hall also hit homers dur ing the contest. Jerry Walker, who relieved starter Dick Donovan in the seventh inning, was credited with his sixth victory against one loss. The Yankees rolled to their seventh win in a row by whipping Washington 5-4, the Minnesota Twins beat the Chi cago White Sox 9-4, and the Boston Red Sox handed the Detroit Tigers their 10th straight defeat 8-3 In the only other American league games played. Bobby Richardson's two run double in the ninth in ning off ex teammate Jim Coatea enabled the Yankees to overcome a 4-3 deficit against the Senators, who lost their eighth in a row. Homers by Harmon Kllle brew and Earl Battcy plus Zoilo Versalles' triple with the bases full were the key blows in Minnesota's victory over Chicago. The Red Sox capitalized on home runs by Dick Stuart and Chuck Schilling to score five runs in the fourth inning and deal the Tigers their third straight defeat under new manager Chuck Dressen.

BJ " LEA MOTORS I The bureau of reclamation has Just come out with its use regulations for the Rogue Riv er Recreation area. The rctf- uations pertain to that portion of the Rogue river canyon from the Almcda Bridge to Marial. Lands within approxi- mately one-half mile on each aide of the river throughout a distance of 23 miles are In eluded. NO VEHICLES The regulations are the usu I variety except for the last, which slates that "unless oth erwlse authorised, motorist d. wheeled vehicles, pack an! mala and horses are strictly prohibited except in cases of emergency (such as transport of injured persons from the area, fire suppression, etc.), Closely translated it means that if you re going into that area you go on foot on the trail or by boat down the riv er. OUCHI Undoubtedly there will be an agonized outcry from the motorized set, and one can expect them to raise quite a bit of noise over the loss of their so-called freedom to ride The trail lg going to get more and more use by fisher men trying to get to the fish first. The distance to Whiskey creek is hot so far and the fishing along it not so pour that an argument for the use of vehicles would carry much weight. THRILL FOR THRILL Many of the motorbike rid ers art interested In finding ntw thrills for themselves with thtir ntw toys. Most of the ustrt of the Rogue River Recreation area who are will Ing to walk In are more inter ested in the thrill of experi encing i h e scenery, or the fishing, or both. It would seem that the former type thrill can be had in some other way than at the expense of the latter type. SNAGGERS AGAIN Reports from the river indi cate that the anaggers are at it again. One can figure that as the number of salmon in the upper river becomes larg er, and the fishing gets poor er, that there are certain so called fishermen who can't stand the frustration and soon revert to snagging as a means Jay Allen Defeats John Wheeler Nine; Tru-Mix 6-2 Victor their pwcej-brenkera wherever ot tatting a tish. These true-1 tney wish, tne grass Is ao"w are using legal gjear. Jay Allen Cars dealt John Wheeler Logging its first Jackson County Softball as sociation loss and Tru-Mix Concrete also triumphed in last night s second half con lention. The Carmen collected their runs in the first two frames to edge the Loggers, first half champs, 4 to 3 in the Major league. Tru-Mix clipped Keith Schulz Garage 6 to 2 in the Minor circuit. The victories were the second in as many nights for each. Jay Allen rumbled for three runs in the first inning on hits by Tom Perdue, Chuck Hoyt, Dave Love and Jerry Shults and an error, A base on balls, a passed ball and a hit by Payne produced the other tally in the second canto. One run came in for Wheeler in the fifth inning on an overthrow of third base. Vern Collins got on base on a miscue and Bob Smith singled to set up the score. A walk, a groundout, Bob Reed's double and Pete Hale's single resulted in two runs in the sixth inning. Two Hits Each Perdue and Love had two hits each for Jay Allen. Wil lard Barnum gave up five hits and walked three in six Innings plus. Roy Harris fin ished on the slabb and fanned one. Ven Collins, over three frames, allowed Jay Allen iix hits while whiffing six, walk' ing two and hitting one. Mi' lan Kurtz, going the last four frames for Wheeler, allowed two hits and two walks. He struck out seven. Tru-Mix garnered runs in five of the seven innings. Bob Custance, Virgil Felter and Gary Brltt led the nine hit assault with two safeties each. Gary Highland and Tom Marier each two-baggered. Gary Shepard doubled for Schulz. STH I BARTUTT 12th t Riverside poor in tills area that the horses probably won t com plain as much, REASONS FOR The bureau haa some very good reasons to back the stand It haa taken In this regard, and they relate directly to the preblema caused. Aside from the fact thai the bureau has been requtsttd by many cltisens to close the trail to vehicles Is tht stronger evi dence of the damage done to the trail and to tht camping areas by motorbikes and hors es. Tht terrain it such that It dottn't iakt a grtat dtal of "hill climbing" with the blkts, or foraging by the animals let ruin the small camping areas with ruts and piles of manure. It is recognised that there are a number of rela tively mature adults with mo torbikes who art primarily interested In fishing or camp ing, but ihtrt also are many youngtr boys who own ve hicles with which they starch for ntw and inttresting things to do. The fact that the van dalism of camp trails Is grow ing In proportion to the num ber ef vehicles using these trails sttms to bt an indict tion of what "new and Inter' ttting things" art being found, FIRE HAZARD The fact that these motors use gasoline and are extreme' ly hot is good reason to tear the additional fire hazard pro sentcd by smokers who ride the vehicles. And aguin, if those using the vehicles indi cated that they were respon sible persons, there would not be any felt need for the reg ulatlon. consisting of a heavy spoon and the largest treble hook the law allows, and Jerk their gear through the holes where the salmon lie. It is a well known fact that they maim and cause a slow death to nine out of every 10 fish they snag, They can be arrested only when they land a snagged fish and are caught at it. We need help tn order to stop them. WHERE AND HOW Two of tht favorite snag ging holts at this time are be tween Catty park and Trail, Thtse spots are marked by many cars and people who don't like Interested watchers who ask why they are fishing the way they are.
