SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. t JP)
The fish and gnmo commission
has recommended to the state de
partment of natural resources
that deer hunting In northwest
ern California be suspended, and
it appeared today the actual clos
ing order would como probably
no later than Monday.
The commission's recommen
dation was made at the request
of the army's western delense
command, although some com
missioners said they saw no
necessity for the closure and
the entire body adopted a reso
lution petitioning Lieut. Gcn
J. L. DcWitt to reconsider.
General DcWitt asked that the
season be closed because, of the
extreme fire hazard he said he
was convinced it represented
Territory which tne closure
order would encompass covers
Suntti Cruz, Santa Clara, San

Contra Costa, Marin, Sonoma,

Interior California, lying in
land from what the army has
termed No. 1 military zone, has

LATINS FIND TENNIS
TO THEIR LIKING
In winning the Trl-Clty tour
nament in Cincinnati and adding
the New Jersey, Brooklyn and
Eastern Clay Court champion
ships on successive weekends,
Segura's flamboyant play and
striking successes captured the
spectators' fancy.
He beat highly-regarded Billy
Talbcrt in the final in Cincin
nati, Ladlslav Hecht in the
Brooklyn and New Jersey and
Schroeder in the Clay Court.
He routed Hecht, a former
Czcchoslovnkian Davis Cupper,
by the amazing scores of 6-0, 6-0,
6-0 ln the New Jersey final.
Schroeder, who had beaten him
in the Sugar Bowl tournament
in New Orleans, was disposed
of under a broiling sun in one
hour and 40 minutes, 7-5, 6-3,
4-6, 6-2.
"Tennis is bceg theeng ln
South America," says Pancho,
who has been In this country
two years, speaks an accented
English. He is studying business
administration at Miami, Fla.,
University, has completed his
freshman year.
Entries in the Clay Court
matches would seem to vouch for
Latin interest in the game. Along
with Segura, Eduardo Buse, jun
ior champion of Peru; the Vegas
brothers, Rolnndo and Armando,
of MexIcAj Arturo Cano, Boliv
ian vice-consul; and Alejo Rus
sell, Argentine champion, who
went to the semi-final round,
competed.
So don t be surprised If Pancho

tan, and his South and Central
American colleagues supply most
of tho flavor to U, S. tennis nt
least for the duration.

Bigbills Need Four
In Row for Playoff
Bishop Names Haynes, Benham for
Weekend Duty; Medford Meets GP
Klamath's baseball Pelicans today were faced with the ab
solute necessity of winning aii their next and last four ball
games in order to tie for the championship of the Oregon Cali
fornia Interstate league.
Trailing the league-leading Medford club by two games, and
with "the Craters a cinch for a double victory over Grants Pass
this weekend, the Pelicans must twice knock over Dorris to
night and Sunday at Dorris to stay in the running. And next
week they must polish off Med-
ford twice to end the season
locked In first place with the
current leaders.
All of which means they must
do much better against the Dor
ris 'Jacks than . they have all
season. So far Manager Ernie
Bishop's men have split a half
dozen games with the Call
fornians. The order, but not the choice,
of Bishop's mound selections this
morning remained a mystery. He
was expected to nominate, as
usual, Ken Benham, former
Whitman college mainstay, and
Vlrg Haynes, the locals' winning
pitcher with a record of eight
won and one lost.
The series will again see
Bishop's revised lineup which
includes Paul Crapo back at
first, the manager on second,
and Mario Pisan in Crapo's va
cated outfield slot.
Tonight's game Is scheduled
to start at 6:30 and tomorrow's
at 2:30.

Cody Kids Head East
For National Splash
Coach Not Overconfident of Repeat;
Two Titleholders in Winged M Team
PORTLAND, Aug. 8 (AP) The Cody Kids are heading
east again with their perennial threat to National women's
swimming records.
Coach Jack Cody of the Multnomah Athletic club and
his four-member team are en route to Neenah, Wis., today for
the National outdoor championships Aug. 14-16. Three of the
four are veterans of last year's team, including Brenda Helser,
National sprint champion; Nancy Merki, world's record holder
at 200 meters and defender of two national crowns, and Su
zanne Zimmerman, whose improvement in the past year has
been little short of sensational.
The new member is 16-year-old Maryann Hansen who
earned the replacement spot for Joyce MaCrae, who turned
pro a few weeks ago, by her showing in the Oregon AAU
meet last week.
"Let's not talk too much about repeating with our cham
pionships," Cody said last night as the team entrained for
Wisconsin. "Take a look at past performances. Usually only
one or two of the winners one year repeat the next. But don't
sell us short. The kids are still good."

Ortiz Lifts
Crown From
Lou Salica
By ROBERT MYERS
HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 8 (7P)-i
The new bantamweight cham
pion of the world Is a 25-year-old
Mexican who a few years ago
picked beans ln his native Im
perial valley of California for $2
a day.
The ex-beanpicker, ' Manuel
Ortiz, lifted the bantamweight
bauble off the weary brow of
Lou Salica of New York last
night in a 12-round match that
kept 6,000 fans alternately ex
cited and bored.
The El Centro lad won going
away, as they say around the
horse parks, but the game little
New Yorker, a veteran of more
than 10 years in the prize ring,
gave his best when he knew
from the outset that his crown
was slipping away from him.
He tried to fight in close and
got whipped. He stood off and
let fly at long range, and the
long-armed Mexican boy slapped
him across the ring.
It was revenge for Ortiz. Sa
lica outpointed him in 1939, two
years after Ortiz, winner of the
National Golden Gloves title at
Boston as a flyweight, had em
erged from the amateur ranks.
Salica earned his guarantee
of $6,000, Ortiz got $250. The
card netted 517,298, and some
$10,000 will be turned over to
buy athletic equipment for army
camps in this region.
Salica weighed 117, Ortiz
116J.
The prisoner, b 1 g Keith
"Luke" Crosswhite, had the per
mission of State Prison Warden
George Alexander to pitch in
home games for the Salem' Sen
ators of the Western Internation
al league.
But Judge W. G. Bramham,
commissioner of minor league,
telegraphed the Senators, "You
are notified not to sign him or
play him until full report to this
office and until you hear from
me."
Crosswhite, convicted of kill
ing State Patrolman A. L,
"Spud" Helms 10 years ago, al
ready has been signed by the
Senators.
Warden Alexander, who de
scribed Crosswhite as "one of
the best-behaved boys I have,"
explained that the pitcher would
be allowed to leave prison only
on the nights he was to pitch
here. He would not be on the
bench other times, nor would he
travel with the club.

games but are within one step
of their longest winning stride
of the season.
Last night they bumped oft
the St. Louis Cardinals 13-8
with one devastating eight-run
blast in the second inning.
There never was any doubt
of the result because the Pi
rates made 16 hits and Lefty
Aldon Wilkie pitched winning
ball in relief.
This kept the Brooklyn Dodg
ers from losing any of their
ample first place margin, al
though the champions war
nosed out 2-1 in eleven innings
by the Boston Braves. The trick
was turned through a triple by
Nanny Fernandez after two
were out. A few minutes after
Fernandez perched on third.
Shortstop Peewee Reese fum
bled Max West's grounder to
let in the deciding run.
The Braves were held to
seven hits by Curt Davis and
Hugh Casey, but used two oi
them to fly to score in the sec

The New York Giants down-1

Albie Glossop in the ninth, aft
er which Ace Adams was called
