Sports Z-ri - Hugh : .VT" ' j, .rulUrfoB. r.i HUNTING YES? HOT Have you, too, heard that there will be no big game or wildfowl hunting this falir If you haven't, bud, where've you been? Anyway, don't believe 'em. A Utter Wednesday 'rora Frank B. Wire, Hate game su. -perTUor, to F r a n e 1 a Oldi, Klamath county member of the itate game commission, laid to rest the rumor which hat been affecting the ileep of hundredi of Klamath coun ty and Oregon nimrodt. The letter laid: "You all undoubtedly have noticed items in the news papers regarding the possible closing of the bunting season this fall. . "We have been receiving In quiries, both by mail and tele phone, almost every day, par ticularly since appearance of the article In the paper pur porting to be based on a speech by Mr. E. J. Church, president of the Oregon Wild life Federation, in which he is reported to have expressed views that the season may be closed on game throughout the state this fall. Today we re ceived letter from Mr. Church denying he made such statements and quoting his remarks as follows: "'It is impossible for me .to state if there will or will not be more open season on big game during 1942. How , ever, so many actions are taken that the average citizen does not understand that anything could happen unless consider able good judgment is given this matter. At this time, I . bave not received any con firmation of such a rumor from the supervisor of the state I 'game commission.' "The writer feels sure that situation should be cleared up 'through .the press. ... As far as the game commission is con cerned, it expects to have open seasons of some kind for both small and large game." (Signed) F. B. WIRE. Olds said Wednesday that there will be open season on both big and little game. If not, it will be through some action by a federal agency, although the game commission anticipates no such move. . Where the rumor actually started and in what paper, no ne seems to know. However, there is some basis for such a move. Firstly, the danger of forest fire sabotage, secondly a possible shortage of guns and ammunition. But. as President Elmer My t'ers of the Klamath Sports men's association pointed out. legions of hunters are the best ('protection against possible saboteurs in the woods. Take ' them away is like removing 75 per cent of a police force ( from city streets. The thought enters here ' that it's quite possible for saboteurs to mingle in the l' hunters' ranks. But on the other hand, given unwatched access to the forests, patrolling of which would be a moun 1 tainous task, the enemy could do greater harm than if the woods were full of gunmen. Refuting the second point. sporting goods dealers say that there will be sufficient, although not an oversupply, of ammuni tion this fall. Guns may be short but the majority of hunters are already equipped in that respect. So worry not, fellas, if you're siot shootin' at Japs by that time, in all likelihood you'll be able to blaze away at game. Tulelake Noses Out Bonanza Five, 35-33 . Bonanza's hard fighting quin tet fell to Tulelake Monday eve ning after two overtime periods In a hard, fast game which at no time showed either team over five points ahead of the other.

Signs A 1 CHARLEY GEHRINGER Tigers Sign Gehringer As Manager By GEORGE STAUTER DETROIT, Jan. 21 OF) Char ley Gehringer, the distinguished Detroit Tiger iniielder, finally has reached the end of the base ball trail as an active player. With the signing of a contract as coach the veteran, ranked as one of the all-time greats, brought to an end a 16-year major lea gue career on second base that had few parallels. Gehringer ceased some time ago to derive any fun from the game. That may sound strange, but for the last three seasons it has just been a series of aches and pains to Gehringer. His back began to trouble him and it took him longer to get into condition. The strain of years of fielding an amazing amount of territory began to take its toll. Finally, his bat ting eye dimmed. Last year his average at the plate fell to .220 as compared to a lifetime mark of .321. Barn Top Burn Re-Seeded for Deer Provender TULELAKE Financed by the California fish and wildlife com mission, hundreds of acres of the 125,000 Barn top bum which destroyed deer feed in Siskiyou and Modoc counties late last fall were re-seeded from the air Jn the past few days, it was an nounced here Monday night by C. G. Fairchild, Tulelake game refuge supervisor, upon com pletion of the project. Flames that swept through the Lava Beds national monument, forest service land, across part of the biological land west of Tulelake and across public do mains destroyed every bite of deer forage. With deep snows in the nigh hills deer mortality would Increase at an appalling rate with food lacking in future years. To avert such a catastrophe the wildlife commission sent in a plane from Alturas to scatter a mixture of crested wheat. orange grass and Australian rye. J. he seed, falling on deep snow. will germinate with warm weath er and should make good ground cover by next fall. No informa tion was available on the amount of seed sown per acre. Statistics show that the na tion's hens are producing 1000 eggs per second. What a goal for our radio comedian to shoot at! Beginners Must First Understand Three Important Balance Principles Sooond of tl Imtructlva Artldao By FRANCOIS NORMAN Author of "Short Cuts to Better Skiing". There are important balance principles which you must know before you even start to ski. They are constant, regardless of technique, style or school. Three principles to keep In mind are: (1) to be forward; (2) steering with the tails of the skis; and (3) keeping the weight on the downhill ski. If you stand on the floor as if you are going to jump, you are what skiers call being forward. You have excellent skiing posi tion weight on the balls of the feet which are placed about six Inches apart, back and shoulders rounded, body slightly forward, elbows bent and wrists at side. In this position you have a wide margin of balance, further extended by flexing your knees and ankles. Bent knees' do not mean you are forward. You bend the knees when you sit but "to be forward" bent knees follow as a necessary result. They are not the cause. Being forward is simple. It is the basis of ski balance under all circumstances. A great many skiers stand on their heels con vinced they are forward, and this OSC Falls To Husky Five, 43-38 Washington Gains Split In Beaver Series) Beck Paces Oregon State Quint N0RTHIRN DIVISION STANOINOI Wm Loot Pot.

Jan. 21 (UP) Rogers (The Rajah) Hornsby, who came out of Texas in 1915 as a and developed into perhaps the all baseball history, today was ball s hall of fame. Polling 182 votes 'out of a possible 233, Hornsby was the only player out of 72 to receive tho necessary three-fourths majority for election by the Base ball Writers' A ssoclation o f America. Bill Brandt, chairman o f the writers' committee on the hall of fame elec t i o n s , said that a plaque showing H o r n s b y's head in bas installcd in the 'I Rocers Honuby relief will be Cooperstown baseball museum next summer alongside those of the 26 previously named. Hornsby, who is now serving in the dual role of general man ager and bench pilot of the Fort Worth Texas league club, became eligible for the hall of fame In 1939. In that election 274 writers voted and Hornsby finished fifth with 176 ballots. Although Hornsby picked up only six more votes this time, his percentage was considerably better .781 as compared to .643 in 1939. In the 1939 elec tions George Sisier, Eddie Col lins and Wee Willie Keclcr were elected. Since then only Lou Gehrig has made the hall of 'fame, the writers suspending the elections to vote him In unanimously. Although Hornsby's career was tempestuous and marked by many disputes with club owners, his superb record on the field entitled him to rank ing among the diamond immor tals. During his 23-year career Hornsby played with five ma jor league clubs and managed lour the Cardinals. Braves, Cubs and Browns. He won the i Si. Bankers Slaughter Dorris; Knights Win First Nationals Take Townies, 55-25; KC's Nose Out Fighting Tik Tok, 34-31 The First National hoop men literally soused the lowly Dorris quintet in the first game of the Commercial league on the high school floor Tuesday night and after a basket spree the game ended 55 to 25. In the second game the Knights of Columbus nosed out the Tik Tok troupe, 34 to 31. Dorris did keep right In step with the league leaders during the half and managed to keep not too far behind. At the half time period the Bankers led, 17 to 12. During the final quarters the Bankers scooped in the baskets by the handsfull, 18 to be exact and tossed in a couple of free throws to help out. In the second game that was no walk-away by any means, the KCs finally won out but what a struggle took place. Safely in the lead at the halt by the score of 19 to 9 the KCs came into the second period ready for a slaughter but the lads from Tik Tok were right McLean Cracks Sun Valley Record on Baldy SUN VALLEY, Ida, Jan. 21 (UP) Barney McLean, Engle- wood, Colo., skier, Tuesday coasted down the 2.1 mile "Dia mond Sun" course, accepted as the most difficult In the nation, in two minutes, 40 1-5 seconds to break a record set 48 hours earlier. The former mark of 2:51 was set Sunday by 16-year-old Jackie Simpson of Ketchum, Ida. Other skiers winning Diamond Sun awards for successfully negoti ating the course included Cath erine Henck, Skyforce, Calif., ana iioDDy uiatt, Stanford uni versity, Calif. McLean won Individual hon ors in the western interstate meet which concluded Sunday. Idaho, in Cellar, Considers Success : MOSCOW, Idaho, Jan. 21 IJP) In the cellar of the north ern division, Pacific Coast con ference, basketball race and at least an even prospect to stay there, the University of Idaho considers the basketball season is already a success. Coach Guy Wicks started Janunry 21, 1042 skinny kid weighing 130 pounds greatest right-handed hitter in the 37th celebrity to make base National league batting title seven times, six times In suc cession starting in 1920 and then again in 1928. Thrice hu surpassed .400 with .401 in 1933, .424 in 1924 (the modem major league record) and .403 in 1925. The Rajah" played In 2256 major league games, compiled a lifetime batting average of .358. Twice he was named the Na tional league's most valuable player1 in 1925 and 1929 and was selected for the league's all-star team five times. Al though he was famed as a hit ter Hornsby was also a stellar second baseman, Hornsby's frank, outspoken way of expressing himself and his penchant for betting on the ponies caused him most of his trouble. In 1926 after he led the Cardinals to their first pen nant and world's title, Hornsby was traded to the Giants be cause of a salary disagreement with Owner Sam Brcadon. He lasted only one year with the Giants, being traded to the Braves in January, 1928, for Shanty Hogan and Jimmy Welsh. The Giants practically gave him away. An argument with Secretary Jim Tiorncy over an error made by Short s t o p Travis Jackson, with Hornsby sticking up for the ployer, caused this rift. Then the Braves sold him to the Cubs for $200,000 and five players. He succeeded Joe Mc Carthy as Chicago pilot but later was fired after a run-In with President Bill Veeck over his handling of Rookie Frank Dcmarce. Later he managed the Browns but was dismissed when he admitted to President Donald Barnes that he still bet on the horses. on their toes and almost caught the lead at the last minute. The Sixth strcetcrs bounded In 10 field goals and two free throws in the final half to the Knight's seven baskets and one free toss. Ending tonight's games put the First National Bank a little bit tighter in first place with five wins, no losses. The Knights are still in third place with four wins, two losses. Tik Tok went down a bit more and now has one win, five losses. Still trailing with no wins, are the Dorris Townies. KC'a M (II) TIK TOK Amerllnf. IS T , 7. HlaTmaker Cooler. 4 F 0.

Landis Calls Majors for Joint Meet Extension of Night Gome Limit Eyed; Nats, Browns, Others Against More Arcs CHICAGO, Jan. 31 (UP) Following up President Roose velt's suggestion that night bato ball be extonded during war time, Baseball Commissioner K. M. Lnndls issued a call Tuesday for a joint session of major lea gue club owners at New York February S to reconsider Its present rule limiting each club to seven night homo games. A 14 game proposal sponsored by the American league was voted down by Landis and the National leaguo at the December joint meeting at Chicago.
