Peters Wins Sixth Straight
As White Sox Dump Orioles
By United Press International
Gary Peters is a living rt-
. filiation of the proposition
that three strikes are always
"out" in baseball.
A 6-foot, 2-inch, native of
Grove City, Pa., Peters
"struck out" . in three trials
with the Chicago White Sox
but got a fourth "swing"
from manager Al Lopez and
is making it pay off with an
11-5 record that finally earn
ed him recognition as a first
rate major league pitcher.

Idle Giants Now 5 Behind
United Press International
Lindy McDaniel received
credit for his eighth victory of
the year and Ron Santo hit
two homers, including a de
cisive 10th -inning blow,
Thursday when the Chicago
Cubs slowed the Los Angeles
Dodgers' pennant march with
a 5-4 triumph.
Both of Santo's homers
Thursday were off Larry
Sherry-No. 19 tying the score
in the fifth inning and No. 20
breaking up the game in the
10th. Al Ferrara, Frank How
ard and Bill Skowron hom
ered for the Dodgers who now
lead the second-place San
Francisco Giants by 5',i

The Giants were idle Thurs

Cincinnati Reds downed the
Philadelphia Phillies, 6-3, and
the Pittsburgh Pirates de

1-0, in other NL action.

After three years of fail
ure, Peters finally won his
first big league game on May
6 this year' and since then
has worked in the While
Sox's regular rotation. He
scored his sixth straight vic
tory Thursday night when the
Sox beat the Kansas Cily Ath
letics, 5-3, and he shapes up
now as a 16-to-lH game win
ner. The victory enabled the
White Sox to remain eight
games behind the runaway
New York Yankees, who beat
the Washington Senntors, 3-1,
in an afternoon game. The
Minnesota Twins whipped the
Los Angeles Angels, 3-0, the
Cleveland Indians downed the
Baltimore Orioles, 2-0, and

Rollins and Zoilo Versalles
two each to lead the Twins'
nine-hit attack. Paul Foy

Woods, Water, Wildlife
By Hank OeVois
Sportsmen in several sec
tions of the country are be.
coming concerned about the
linking of national wildlife
refuges with comprehensive
plans for outdoor recreation
according to the Wildlife Man
agement Institute. Recent rec.
reation-area documents of the
Department of the Interior,
key outdoor recreation plan
ning agency, appear to be
built around two outstanding
national wildlife refuges
Chincoteague in Virginia and
Kentucky Woodlands.
PEOPLE. NO
Basis for lh sporiimen's
apprehension is the certain
knowledge that wildlife ref
ugea cannot support mass rec
reation without destruction of
the natural yalues for which
they were established. The
incompatibility of beach bug
gies and hordes of hikers,
swimmers, picnickers, and
surf fishermen, for example,
already has been demonstrat
ed at the Parker River Na
tional Wildlife Refuge in Mas
sachusetts. Human intrusion
into the dune and surf habitat
has virtually eliminated the
once-great colonies of beach
nesting birds that were found
there.
PEOPLE, YES
In its recreation study, "As-
saleague Island and Vicinity,"
the Interior department ap
parently contemplates the
same kind of mass recreation
al use of the approximately
nine miles of wilderness beach
of the Chincoteague National
Wildlife Refuge as it does for
the 33 miles of connecting
beach in Maryland that would
be taken for the Assateague
Island National seashore. As
first printed, the study report
also showed a highway ex
tending the length of the nar
row wildlife refuge.
WILDLIFE, NO
In a second announcement,
the Interior department re
cently told of a new Tennessee
Valley Authority program to
develop a large Between-the-Rivers
Recreation Demonstra
tion area in Kentucky and
Tennessee. Heart of the area
is the 65,690 acre Kentucky
Woodlands National Wildlife
refuge, an important Canada
goose and duck habitat, that
contains attractive water and
associated land areas. It ap
pears that the refuge will lose
its identity and be absorbed
entirely into the recreation
area, whose purpose is to
show how local economies can
be improved through provi
sion of recreation facilities
and opportunities.
IT'S A STEAL
In addition to their being
established to protect wildlife,
refuges have been acquired,
wholely or in part, with rev
enues derived from the sale
of Duck Stamps to hunters.
In fact, it was the sportsmen's
idea to have a Duck Stamp
back in 1934 that gave the
national wildlife refuge pro
gram much needed financial
support.
In 1962, Congress gave the
secretary of the interior au
thority to limit public recre
ation on the wildlife refuges
"to the extent that such use
is compatible with the pri
mary purposes of such areas."
In 11 places that law makes
clear that recreation is in
tended as an "incidental or
secondary use" when and
whera it does not interfere
with wildlife protection ob
jectives. LOOK OUT1
Assateague Island and Be-twecn-the-Rivers
Recreation
area are not the only national
wildlife refuges under consid
eration. The wilderness beach
es of such other national wild
life refuges as Back Bay, Vir
ginia; Swan Quarter, North
Carolina; Cape Romain, South
Carolina; St. Marks, Florida,
and Aranses and the Laguna
Atascose, Texas, also may be
involved in future considera
tions. THE ANGLER'S LOO
Reports from the coast are
somewhat conflicting In that
the usual pattern of luck is
3
always evident. Be that as it
may, there are large schools
of silvers out there and the
Chinook are becoming more
and more available. Good re
ports are coming out of Cres
cent City, and on up the coast
the various harbors are re
porting limits caught within
a couple of hours.
ADD Woods. Water, etc std
Diamond Lake There are plenty
nf fish remaining to be caught and
the majority of them are being
taken by the stilKishermen. Ex
ceptional luck has been had for
the past several days by those
arming a reo and white F7 flat
fish. Fly fishing has been slow.
Fish Lake Several limits have
been taken every day. The largest
fish are being taken on bait, but
ine iisnermen interested in auan-
tlty can accomplish his end by
ironing, rne rainbow seem par
tial to lures.
Howard Prairie The pattern Is
remaining about the same aa last
week. Stlllfishermen in the chan
nel are taking bigger fish
throughout the day. Flyfishermen
on the flats during the early eve
ning nuurs are naving an active
time and occasionally are being
hit bv a big one.
Hyatt Lake Fishing is about
ine same in inat there are some
beautiful, big fish being taken
every day by the stillflshermen
tied to the snags. Loose fishermen
are taking some by trolling with
the usuaT.
Klamath Lake The big fish are
starting to come in. Warren Ba
ker of Odessa Creek took an 11
Eounder on FF&W the 29th. Hank
ewls of San Diego caught a 10
pounder on a woblrlte the 7th of
this month. The lake la nn nnri
clear and best luck is by trolling
past the mouths of the creeka.
Lake of the woods The catch
ing is good on the west side for
fish 1 to 17 inches long. Best bet
la with FF&W trolled deep.
Hillow Lake Th fuhin rn.
kokancc is good. Deep trolling
with FF&W. FF&ff, or FF&spin-n-glo
wil Hake fish that weigh up
to 113 pounds. Number 14 spin-n-glo
will take fish that weigh up
rainbow aren't showing up except
for nn occasional lunkcr.
THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER
It's a fond hope that Ore
gon will see the handwriting
on the wall and move to pro
tect the tremendous resources
we have. Only by a balanced
use of these resources can we
hope to make them last
through the tremendous pres
sures of population that seem
to be coming. Too many peo
ple nave no values.

Bryant Holds to Denial
In Football Rigging Scanda
By CHARLES S. TAYLOR Jr.
United Press International
Atlanta - (UPD - Paul Bryant,
his own reputation at stake
in a $10 million libel suit,
boomed out his denial Thurs
day that he and Wallace Butts
rigged the 1962 Alabama-
Georgia football game.
"Did you and the plaintiff
in this case, Wallace Butts,
throw, fix or rig this game,
as charged by the Saturday
Evening Post?" Bryant was
asked.
Bryant sat bolt upright and
frowned.
"Absolutely not," he an
swered, "and if we did we
ought to go to jail, and the
persons involved should be
put in jail because we didn't.
Taking their money is not
good enough."
Butts, wearing a black suit
and a bright red tie - the col
ors of the University of Geor

their runs in the fourth in

letic director last February -watched
intently as his long
time friend denied that Butts
gave him information in a
telephone conversation which
helped Alabama whip Geor
gia, 35-0 last year.
Sued The Post
Butts sued the Post for say
ing in an article last spring
that he gave key secrets about
his own school's football team
to Bryant, successful coach of
Alabama's Crimson Tide.
The trial was in its fifth
day today with a short session
planned before a week end
recess.
The crux of the magazine
story is the report by an At
lanta insurance man, George
Burnett, that he accidentally
overheard, by an electronic
error, a telephone conversa
tion last fall prior to the
Alabama-Georgia game, Butts
give the plays to Bryant.
Bryant said Thursday he
doesn't remember whether he
received such a call last Sept.
13 or not.
But he said in answer to
questions by Butts' attorney,
William Schroder, that he had
had numerous telephone con
versations with Butts.
Denied Giving Information
Schroder asked Bryant if
Butts had given him any in
formation "relating to the
plays, formations or defense
to be used by Georgia in any
football game with the Uni
versity of Alabama."
"Absolutely not," Bryant
answered.
Schroder put Bryant on the
stand Thursday instead of call
ing Butts as he had announc
ed. He said he may ask Butts
to testify today "if he gets a
good night's rest and his blood
pressure doesn't give him
trouble."
He also planned to put All
America Charlie Trippi and
Leroy Jordan on the stand
when court resumes Monday.
Trippi is a former assistant
coach at Georgia. Jordan, also
an All-America, played with
