It's three dny Jamboree with no lime out for sleep. There's not a room to be had within five miles and the radio and press Is cooperating in a plea for citizens to open their homes to weekend guests. An odd town, this city of marital milestones. Everything is monstrously out of proportion for a community of 18,000 souls. Theatres are built on a San Francisco scale. Telegraph offices are deep with machinery nd open at all hours. Legullzed gambling exists on a scale undreamed of In the days of Mr. Comstock. Marriages during June leaped to record total of 80 some 80-odd over history's best. There's no war talk, and understandably. It would sound as strange as church bells on the Bereilna.

Louis to Box Jim Robinson Friday Night By JAY VESSELS MINNEAPOLIS. July 8 (VP) Stopping off for som golf and fishing, Joe Louis will step Into the comparative privacy of a boxing ring Friday night to do a number with Jimmy Robinson. Burdened with marital and possible draft troubles, the champion Is coming to Minne sota for a short vacation at the Aquatennlal slimmer carnival. His problems are not expected to be Increased any by the fistic date. The bout is programmed of ficially a an "exhibition" and the boys will be wrapped up tn big gloves. So Joe will be able to eat that chicken dinner either Chick Tackles Londos In Armory Headliner Altitude May Aid Cowboy In Big Test Blitzkrieg will be in the arm ory air tonight as Jim Londos, International heavyweight wres tling champion, pays his long awHlted call to Klamath Falls. Londos, billed often as the "Greek Adonis," who has piled up records all over the globe as a master-wrestler and crowd pleaser, will face no set-up for nis first appearance here. At least, that Is the word from Cowboy Dude Chicle, who will meet the champion here tonight in the main event of the evening which might also be called the main event of sev eral years. Chick, Pacific coast champion In hit own right and the owner and operator of a spin every bit as dangerous us the airplane spin Londos has made famous, expects to defeat the big man gier and has been leaving noth ing undone In that direction. Knowing that Klamath Falls 4000 feet of altitude has proved a heavy load for visiting grap piers, the cowboy has been out pitching hay and pushing him self to the limit of training. Chick has wrestled here many times and knows the light moun tain air well, but In this case he figures he might need every Inch of chest expansion he can muster. Betides the altitude, Chick re members another meeting in To ledo, O.. In 1038. in which it took Londos something over 51 minutes to put the cowboy down for the count, It will be spin against spin. To soften up the mat for the Chlrk-Londos bout, Promoter Mack Llllard has matched Ernie Plluto against George Wagner and Pete Belcattro against Billy McEwen. Even though they pale slight ly beside the main event's draw ing power, Belcastro and Mc Ewen could headline any other card and thoso who follow Pllu so's doings In the ring are con fident he won't let anyone fid get for action In the opening tussle.

INTERNATIONAL HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION is the title of Jim Londos who was totting other claimants were wrangling Londos meets Dude Chick here July 8, 1941 Nearly 4,000,000 'Chubs' Removed From East Lake Destruction of between three and four million roach or "chubt," as they are commonly called, in East lake by an Ore gon State game commission crew forms the basis of an in teresting report submitted to C. A. Lockwood, assistant super visor, by H. R. Nowcomb, crew leader. Acting on a recommend ation of the 1940 lake survey unit that the shallow areas of East lake bo treated with a spec ial preparation at the time of the spawning season, the game commission directed that ob servations be made Bnd the work begin at the most opportune time. Beginning in the middle of May. the lake was visited each week. Water temperatures were taken and the shores were care fully searched for spawning fish. It was not until June 11 that the temperature of the waters in shallow coves approached the point where roach were known to spawn. Immediately all forces were organized and on the fol lowing morning 10 men were ready to begin control opera tions. Inasmuch as there are countless game fish resident in the lake, the operation of re moving the roach without caus ing undue loss of trout required a rather fine sense of balance, to say nothing of a considerable degree of luck. The Treatment Five hundred pounds of the specially prepared mixture was distributed In the water mostly under three feet in depth. First, a heavy line of athln, soupy mix was placed along the front of the cove In the southeast portion of the lake. Then handfuls of a mortar-like mixture were thrown within that area. One man traveled along much of the shore and sprayed a very dilute mixture of the powder from a forest-service-fire-f ightcr back pack pump. The remainder of the shore line from the boat- house on the east shore, south and west to the "white slide" was similarly treated, but to a much lighter degree. A few isolated coves In other portions of the lake also received some treatment. Few Gam Flth Within a half hour after the first application, numerous roach ware seen In a dead or dying condition. At the end of the day thero was hardly a fish to be seen moving, whereas the prev ious evening the wattr was liter ally alive with "chubs." As was to be expected, some game fish, principally those which came OXFORD lYIlT IMU WITH TV! 1 INOWIt se.SoH2&2'SQ A 2't3 COM1I HOP eOtKUH'lQUHot SEE BE9 3T" jmm far - i 'f Ik V. them in Europe while numerous over the title In this country. tonight. PAGE SEVEN Into shallow water to feed on the "chubs," were killed. An extremely thorough search was made by the crew on the day following the application of the material and a total of 341 trout and salmon were found. Of this number, 282 were small eastern brook trout, 57 were Loch Laven trout and two silver salmon. Taking sample counts of roach killed along three miles of shore line, it was found that there was an 'average of 71 fish per foot. On this basis there were 1,261,800 roach lying on the shore. Assuming that there were twice as many fi6h at the bottom of the lake, it is esti mated that the operations re moved at leost 3,784,800 roach. These fish had an average weight of about 30 to a pound, so on weight basis, approximately 63 tons of trash fish were destroy ed. Not Harmful Attention is called to the fact that the preparation used in eradicating the trash fish is not harmful to man or animals. It kills fish through gill-suffocation action.

There was only one error, and that came in the sixth frame as First Baseman Lou Aiello mishandled Swan son's bounder. Kalpine batters manufactured three runs in the first on five walks, a sacrifice and a Lamm error. Lou Aiello tingled home Brother Jim in the second for the fourth run of the ball game. Leftfielder Warner Fett socked out a three-run homer tn the fifth to complete the run-mak ing for the winners. The Elks climbed on Algoma's Patterson in the first inning of the opener to score eight tallies on two hits, three walks and four errors. They punched across three mofe markers in the second on four hits, on of which was a homer by Third Baseman Dave Bridge. The Lodgemen finished their scoring with a single run in the fourth stanza of the abbreviated five inning tilt. Runs for the Algoma outfit were totaled by three scores in the fifth and individual runt in the second and fourth innings.

Solons Grab For Pennant Big Lead Nearly Enough To Cinch Coast Victory By The Associated Press The Sacramento Senators may lack some of the powerful drive that marked their progress dur ing the first half of the Coast league baseball season, but they've got enough left to be pretty sure of winning the lea gue championship. Fourteen weeks of the season are now in the record books and the Senators have 8 121-game lead over second place Seattle. An6ther 11 weeks of the season remain. Efforts of the other ball clubs appear to be concentrated on a fight for the second spot. Seattle now holds this highly prized position after see-sawing back and forth for the ranking with San Diego last week. Since Seattle plays Portland and San Diego takes on Sacramento this week, the northern club appears to have at least a temporary edge in holding the spot. The results of any of the series are unpredictable, how ever, and the struggle for second ranking may soon be more than a two-way one. San Francisco fell Into a slump and lost five out of eight games to Hollywood last week, dropping from fourth place down to sixth. They meet Oak land this week.
