HEREWITH A Jti lAvMHERSAU' SEE IF VOO KIM UMCLE SArA AM' me -mteAVJAv OVERCOMES rPAaL HAINES HAINES No Interest Shown In Softball Loop Since we ran a request asking persons interested in forming a Softball league hero to call or write un, we have received ex actly one query. Bob Perkins called asking us about the proposed program and that is the lone answer we have M v received. By this token we assume that there Is not much interest in a league here and if we do not receive more calls soon we will let the mat ter die a natural death a thing that all too often happens to a program with splendid po tentialities. It should be obvious that we cannot contact each and every prospective player personally. We would even attempt to do that if we could, but It Just isn't possible. We still firmly be lieve that a well-organized Softball circuit would be a swell thing for the players and the town, but there is no sense in forcing an issue which is evidently dead. There seems ti us to be a lack of enthusiasm in this town that Is nothing short of amazing In Just about any thing In tho field of athletics that bears the sngmest evidence of requiring a little effort. This is not intended as a condemnation, but we are honestly puzzled by the apathy In evidence here. We have been in cities much smaller than Klamath Falls that maintain a splendid soft ball program throughout the summer months and the turnout for the games was very gratifying. We think it a shame that the youngsters and men who are In fnvor of a league will not have an opportunity to cavort on the diamond, but we feel that we have done Just about all we can. That's the way the thing stands now, laddies, and If we do not hear anything further we will draw the curtain over the entire proposition. . Athletes Get Short End Of Stick With the protest of Rep. Price (D-Ill.) that athletes are being inducted even though they cannot meet physical requirements, an issue was brought to the attention of the nation that has long needed an airing. The odor emanating from the army has been distinctly unpleasant in more than one case of a professional athlete up for induction. We would venture to say that throughout the entire United States there Is not one example of a man attempting to dodge his duty to his country under the guise of a professional athlete. An investigation has been asked and it's about time this fla grant breaking of every draft law was stopped. Price called it "draft discrimination," but that's putting ft mildly. What it amounts to is downright illegal methods and erroneous medical reports in army draft papers. Price also stated that in some cases athletes have been Induct ed without even their draft classification being changed from 4-F. He went on to say that he was not asking for a special break for athletes, but only a fair deal. It's about time they got a square shot, they've been getting the short end of the stick ever since Byrnes ordered his infamous "crackdown!" Fish Lake Will Be Open From Klamath Side Fish lake, which has been open only from the Medford side, is expected to be open from the Klamath side on Sunday, accord ing to authoritative information received here. Fish are reported to be biting extremely well there with Sil verside and Eastern brook trout being taken by trolling and bait fishing with worms. Chicago White Sox Not For Sale CHICAGO, May S fP) The Chicago White Sox baseball club is not for sale, says Mrs. Grace R. Comiskey, president of the American league team.- Mrs. Comiskey spiked reports that the club was to bo pur chased by a syndicate headed by President Bill Veeck of the Mil waukee Brewers of the Amer ican association.

But these are anything but ordinary times end it makes little difference today whether the track is rare, medium or well-done. There won't be any Kentucky Derby this Saturday.

By PAUL HAINES It was a balmy summer eve ning and a goodly crowd was there last night at the armory to a V n m ., A.I.I.. , I I.I ..1 1 .. - ii j m.ivco, bile iiuujr- wood Wonder Boy, steal all the munaer on promoter jvibck lan iard's bleep bill. The blond thatched Ackles had what It takes all the way In his semi-wlndup tussle with bur ly Tony Morelli, the guy who has earned the full animosity of Klamath railbirds. Morelli Cats Tough Morelli started out in his usual quaint way by offering to mitt Ackles and then laying one on his jaw that could be heard all the way to the courthouse. It looked for a minute as If Morelli was going to pulverize the kid, but Ackles proved that he had what It takes. He turned on the blustering Morelli like a tiger, landed a few well placed wallops, of his own and took the first fall with a body press. Ackles Awarded Match The Bronx Bomber wasn't washed up, however, and came back In the third heat to smoke Kenny with a series of smother and choke holds followed by a body press. In the fourth canto the fireworks reached a climax Wen both boys went out of the ring along with Referee Wally Mors.

He put the slug on Walter and this was a grave mistake. Achiu countered so fast that It was just a blur with a back slam and took tne ::oul with a reverse toe hold.

Rosa Chases Leon With the count at a fall apiece and Tony ready to gnaw the ring posts in his anger, Leone drop ped to his prayer-bones, swung a hay-maker, and took the tussle with a chin lock. He then fled from the ring vith Ross panting at his heels and, according to last reports, it t- ! two gendarmes and "Sneeze" Achiu to pull Ross off. AH in all, it was quite a lively evening. In fact, if It had been any livelier the seconds would have been carting the boys out l:i a wooden overcoat.
