Newspaper Page Text1 2 B ST. LOUIS CRUMBS By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sporti Writer ; Instead of half a loaf, all that the Cardinals got were the crumbs. They won the third and final game of their series with the Dodgers, 3-2, Thursday night and it probably was more in the nature of a con eolation victory than anything else. The disappointed Cards, who lost the first two games of the showdown series, had the satisfaction of snapping the Dodgers' seven-game win ning streak. That was mighty email consolation considering i that the Dodgers still lead the i National league by 6i games today. ' What the sad situation mounts to for the Cardinals it this: They came into Los Angeles last Tuesday all hepped up about their pennant chances because they had taken three in a row from the Giants and were "only" SVt games back. But they lost a full game plus a precious opportunity by the time they left L.A. Meet One Again The Cardinals have one more shot at the Dodgers when they meet them again for a three-game set in St. Louis starting Sept. 16 but by then it may be too late The Cards broke a 2-all tic Thursday night when Ken Boycr doubled in the sixth in ning and came home with the winning run on Julian Javi er's single. Ernie Broglio won his 14th although he departed in favor of Ray Sadecki in the eighth. Don Drysdale suffered his by Paul l How's this for an oddity - The most famous double play combination in baseball gj history was Tinkcr-to-Evers- to-Chance . . . Bascbal fans have been hearing about rhem for years . . . Yet, the fact is that this combination actually made very few double plays! , , . When Franklin P. Adams wrote his famous poem about them in 1908, they made only eight I double plays all year! ... I The year before they had I made only seven , . . And, I in 15 World Series games in I which they played in 1906- I 0708, this combination I made no double plays at all!

KNOW; V : READY-MIX CONCRETE ZE FRIDAY, AUGUST 23. 1963 CARDS COLLECT IN DODGER SERIES 14lh defeat against 18 victor ies. Giants Beat Braves In the only other NL games scheduled, the Giants snapped their five-game losing streak with an 8-6 victory over the Braves and the Pirates beat the Cubs 9-3. Juan Marichal won this 19th for the Giants even though Milwaukee first base man Joe Torre nicked him for a grand slam homer in the eighth inning. Roberto Clcmcnte's grand slam homer was the key blow in a five-run ninth inning Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DaVou It's interesting to be a wit ness to and part of the kind ot excitement that can be stirred up by a rumor con cerning the Rogue river. Those who know the river come to have a feeling of own ership together with others who enjoy this wild stream; be they fishermen, guides, conservationists, hikers, or tourists. This, It has been found, is part of the trouble. THE RUMOR The qii of the beginning story was thai some outfit from Gold Beach was in the process of blasting a channel up the Rogue in order to ferry sight-seeing tourists to Grants Pass in iet boats. It was using dynamite io deepen gravel bars and pulverise bottom ripping rocks. In effect. It would make the exciting river we all enjoy a profitable high way for tourism, and destroy much of the beauty that is the Rogue river. THE REACTION Most reactions were typi fied by the remark, "They can't do that! They don't own the river!" Those who have lived here a long time felt that they could identify the individual who must be doing the blasting because of his prior accomplishments in this field, and also because of his belief that the river was his to do with as he pleased. Everyone was in agreement that the river was too im portant to be fooled with by any one person or group Just to satisfy personal need or greed. INVESTIGATION Investigation of the rumor by Interested parties reveals that there is blasting going on. but at two different blast ing sites; one at Clay hill, the other at Blossom bar. Two parties are involved, a Jet boat operator from Gold Beach, and the above-mention ed individual from Grants Pass. The jet-boat operator wishes to Improve the channel for his boat ride from Gold Beach to Paradise lodge above Clay hill riffle: the individ ual from Grants Pass has rea sons not known at this time, but it is speculated that he intends removing the basis for having to portage at Blos som bar. Further Investigation re veals that Jurisdiction over the stream channel of the Rogue is with the U.S. corps of engineers from the mouth to Agness, and with the Ore gon fish commission from Agness upstream. Permits for any blaitinq of the channel must be obtained from the agency with Jurisdiction. The area under rumor is within the jurisdiction of the fish commission, and the permit stipulates that all blasting in the Rogue must be under the supervision of the s'alt game commission in order that no damage be done to fish life. The Jet-boat operator from. Gold Beach has a permit for the blasting at Clay hill, but the individual from Grants Pass has no permit for the blasting at Blossom bar. The agencies Involved had no knowledge of the blasting at Blossom bar, but now they do. and we can hope that something will be done to prevent similar occurrences future. UHIHGER'S For...

The process of getting ex cited about a rumor and then trying to find the facts actual ly causing the rumor can be long and devious, but the re sult in this case would seem to go far beyond the facts in volved. We are left with the knowledge that there is only one law in Oregon that per tains to changing a stream channel, and that the only controlling factor is whether or not the change will affect fish life. This gives rise to a natural question: Are there other values that can be de stroyed by indiscriminate blasting? A WILD RIVER One reason why we might well be concerned over the possible destruction of values that now define the Rogue river as to its uniqueness is the recent announcement by the secretaries of the interior and agriculture that a wild river study team has the Rogue under consideration as one such river. Certainly the Rogue has had a long reputa tion for the wildnass of its waters in the lower river, and we might expect national recognition as a matter of course. But this will not be if we allow anyone who dares to blast the essential nature of the river out of existence. PROTECTION At the present time there is no legal protection for the wlldncss of the Rogue river. Only one law guides state agencies in this regard and they cannot deny a person the right to change the course of the river unless It would Interfere with fish life. The wild river study team is con sidering the Rogue and the Deschutes rivers in Oregon for study that they may be ". . . preserved in their free flowing condition because their natural scenic, scientific, esthetic, and recreational val ues outweigh their value for water development and con trol purposes now and in the future." If the above values have any meaning to those of us here, we ought to begin looking for the means of pro tecting those values before they are taken from us by a few individuals who do not have that right. THE ANGLER'S LOG Reports from the coast re garding salmon fishing indi cate that there is a very little activity at this time. After a few slow days the mouth of the Klamath river is showing signs of life. Klamath River - The steel head are reported to have been coming In for over three weeks and are as high as Happy Camp. The river is clear and there is no moss as In past years. Rogue River - No sleelhcnd of any significant number have started up as yet. The salmon are holding out sev eral miles offshore. Fishing should turn hot any day for both salmon and steelhead. THE OPTIMIST'S CORNER It's been a long wait, but the nights have that feeling of good fishing coming soon. This winter may be that year when a twenty-pounder will be beached. GOOD LUCK!

MEDFORO, OREGON MEDFORDe SIPODIffiTS Ex-Georgia Athletes Say School's Sport Program Has Been Deteriorating By CHARLES E. WEBB Atlanta, Ga. -UJPII- A group of former athletes at the Uni versity of Georgia, caught in the wash of a bitter court lit igation. claimed Thursday the school's sports program is falling apart. The group asked for a con frontation with Georgia pres ident Dr. O. C. Aderhold to help stop the slide. Rich Knight Has 232 in Jaycee Golf Midland, Tex. IUPI Steady Don Iverson ol LaCroise, Wis., picked up three birdies in a four-hole back nine stretch Thursday to pull even with Panama'! Jeff Riley at the three-quarter mark of the In ternational Jaycee Junior golf meet. Both were at 213, one under par. Iverson, the 17-year-old pre tourney favorite, actually forged to the front at one tag of his head to head bat tle with the 15-year-old un known from Balboa in the Canal Zone, but couldn't shake loose from his cocky lit tle adversary. Oregon's two entries were far back going into the final IS holes today. Rich Knight of Medford shot a 37-41-78 for a three-round total of 232, while Scott Smith. Lake Os wego, turned in a 40-40-80 for 239. Dinner Honors Tom DeSylvia Portland -IUPI- Tom DcSyl via's pupils and other foot ball notables will turn out to night at a farewell banquet for the former Jefferson High school and Portland Slate col lege grid coach. DeSylvia resigned al PSC earlier this year In a dispute wilh school officials. He is leaving the stale to accept a job as an assistant coach at a San Mateo, Calif., high school. Two of his greatest players al Jefferson - Ileisman Tro phy winner Terry Baker and Oregon's Mel Rcnfro - are scheduled to share the speak er's platform. Willamette Uni versity Coach Ted Ogdahl will be master of ceremonies. Highest SKINNER Comets have been drawing equipment this week for the start of drills on Monday, Aug. 26. Physical exams were given last evening. rRIBUNX The former athletes, band ed together into the Georgia "G" Club, is headed by bank er Cliff Kimsey of Cornelia, Ga. Kimsey said the first step toward putting Georgia back into the big time in collegiate sports would be to confront Dr. Aderhold. "We'll just lay il on the line to him on what we would like to see done and see what his thoughts are,'1 Kimsey said. Kimsey said the sports pro gram has deteriorated from the point where Georgia played in seven bowl games in the 1940s to a single post-season classic since 1949. "Basketball-that's a pitiful situation," Kimsey added. "Georgia has been the laugh ing stock of the Southeastern conference." Coach Phones Players Georgia football coach Johnny Griffith, nettled by a "published rumor" that a number of Georgia football players would not return to the colors this fall, ran a tel ephone survey Thursday night to refute the report. Griffith called a number of his players by long distance telephone. Among those he talked to were captain Billy Knowles, senior right halfback, and al ternate captain Mickey Babb. "1 am confident that our squad is looking forward to this coming season, Griffith said. "They have worked very hard in winter drills and I have been in touch with all of them this summer and know that they have conscientiously trained hard to be ready for opening practice Sept. 1." Acting athletic director Howell T. Hollis also said there was nothing to the "vi cious rumor. Second To Criticise The "G" Club was the sec ond organization to offer crit icism of the university's sports program. The Georgia Bulldog Club at Columbus, Ga., called for a houseclcaning at Georgia from "top to bottom," presum ably including Aderhold and head coach Johnny Griffith. The developments came within 48 hours after a feder-! al court jury awarded former Georgia coach and athletic di-i rector Wallace Butts damages ; of S3.060.0UO against the Sat-1 urday Evening Post in a libel suit trial that split ranks on the witness stand among, coaching subordinates and col lege presidents. Trade - Ins effic Cocky Dick Stuart Outdoes Ted Williams in Home Runs By MILTON RICHMAN UPI Sports Writer Cocky Dick Stuart may be all talk and a yard wide, but he can always say he topped Ted Williams. And don't worry about the big uninhibited Boston first baseman - he'll say it all right because it happens to be true in one respect, anyway. When the Pirates traded Stuart to the Red Sox last winter, so the story goes, he was asked whether he felt he would hit more homers than Williams did at Fenway Prk. Stuart promptly inquired: "How many did he hit his first year up?" Informed that Williams had belted 31 homers his first season with the Red Sox, Stuart said "I oughtta' hit more than that." And he has. Stuart, the American league home run leader, smashed his 33rd of the year with one on Thursday to help the Red Sox wallop the White Sox, 11-2. Big Stu also leads the league in runs batted in. Those two he accounted for Thursday upped his total to 93 - 13 ahead of his nearest challenger. Teammates Help Stuart, however, didn't quite do the job on the White Sox alone. Ed Bressoud drove in six runs with a grand slam homer and two sacrifice flies while rookie Dave Morehcad earned his eighth victory with !

Odds favor the Padres if they continued the pace they have been, setting. AH but three of their re maining games will be played at home. San Diego meets Ta coma, Spokane, Seattle, Okla homa City and Hawaii at Westgate Park. They end the current campaign at Salt Lake Cty. Prior to the start of the season the consensus was that the Padres would win the . Southern Division title. They ! are 4'j games out of first place and moving fast. ; Meanwhile, Oklahoma City , and Dallas-Ft. Worth knock heads in six games and could i very well maneuver each j other out of title contention. The Padres have won 14 of i 20 games since Aug. 1. They have advantage of playing all but three of their remaining games at home and the per sonnel apparently has finally caught hold and has the win ning complex. Thursday night the Padres whipped Cincinnati 6-2 in an exhibition game and tonight begin the series with Tacoma. In PCL games Thursday night Denver shocked Okla homa City 4-2, Salt Lake City took a 18 inning marathon from Dallas-Ft. Worth 6-4: Portland swept both ends of a double header from Seattle 5-3 and 2-1, and in Hawaii, the Islanders made it seven straight over Tacoma and number 12 in a row by dump ing the Giants 11-4. Portland's twin victory over Seattle pulled them to with in one-half game of fourth place in the Northern division. Batting star for the Beavers was John Wojcik who homer ed in the second inning and doubled two more runs home in the fourth. Bob Flynn got the win and Hal Kolstad the loss.
