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.

Derby Day
Turtle Darby Takes Place
Of Annual Race Cfatsie
LOUISVILLE, Ky.. May 5 m
If these were ordinary times,
the Kentucky Hardboots would
be out there early today moan
ing about the sloppy track at
Churchill Downs. For this was
supposed to be derby day in
Louisville.
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.
Race Held Every Year
That was settled by the fed
eral ban on horse racing, which
derby enthusiasts hope will be
removed in time for a summer
running of the historic event.
Since its Inaugural la 1873, the
big race has been held every
year at Churchill Downs.
However, tms race-nunaeq
town has made arrangements
for another derby tonight r-
turtle derby to observe the
original 1945 date of the real
thing.
Turtle Darey
Officials for the turtle derby
will include Trainer Ben Jones,
Steward Sam McMeekln, Jockey
Doug Dodson, Legionnaire Sid
Ferree and many employes of
Churchill .Downs. All ine trim
mings of the Kentucky Derby
will be added and proceeds
turned over to tne Kentucky
Society for Crippled Children.

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

and choke holds followed by a
body press. In the fourth canto
