CJtozr "rr, P- .WOE&D By HALE SCAHBROUGH (Major Baseball Salaries Are Climbing Working Basis In a report to the Klamath County Sportsmen's association Tuesday night, Frank McCor mack stated that he believes the Oregon game commission and the California commission are finally working out a compatible basis from which to carry on studies of the migratory deer problem in volving the Klamath lake and Modoc forest areas. He met with d e 1 e g a t i ons from both com missions in Al turas recently and says that the California sportsmen are willing to go halfway or more with the Oregon commis sion in all business pertaining to the mieratorv deer. Right now the California body Has men in ine ueia counting the deer that winter in Modoc forest and studying browse con. ditions down there, and McCor- nack with several men from the Klamath Sportsmen's association will go down in ieoruary to ac tually drive count areas that have previously only been strip counted. The idea is to find out how many deer are wintering in Mo doc forest and how many of them actually are Oregon deer that drift down during the cold weather. A check on the Oregon herd coming into California will give both states a basis of comparison from which to work to alleviate the strain on browse down there. For the first time, McCornack says, the California body is rec ognizing that deer herds from Pit river and Glass mountain in California are drifting in from the south and west to winter around Alturas and the number of deer in those herds is believed to be very large. The Oregon wannerers may not be as numerqus as has been contended. A 1943 report placed the migratory figure from this state at 10,000 and the total num ber of deer in the Modoc area during the winter at 40,000. With the cooperation agreed upon at the Alturas meeting it will be possible to determine just how much of the damage to win ter feeding grounds down there can be laid to Oregon deer. Rep resentatives of both states are to ,get together twice a year at Al turas to compare notes of the work being done by each organization. Gale Bishop Steps Into WSC Cage Uniform PULLMAN, Wash., Jan. & m Gale Bishop, last year's national scoring basketball champion, last night joined the Washington State college hoop squad after three years in the army. The "human scoring machine" ar rived Sunday on a 30-day fur lough. "I don't know whether I'll be any help to the .coach and the team' he said. "I've let myself get in bad condition and I've only played half a dozen games this season, none recently." Bishop will spend this week trying to take off six extra pounds and work back into Coach Jack Friel's system. Next ..Monday he will register as a stu dent for the second semester, ex pecting to receive his army dis charge, before his furlough ex pires. ' That night he will . play his first collegiate basketball in three years against the Oregon State Beavers. By JOE REICHLER NEW YORK, Jan. 24 (IP) Major league baseball salaries in the postwar era, starting this year, promise generally to reach lofty heights, although Babe Ruth's record $80,000 stipend in 1930 and '31 seems safe at least for a few more years. In sharp contrast to the days when Iron Man Ed Walsh was refused a S500 raise after re ceiving $2500 for winning 40 games for the Chicago White Sox in 1908, an Associated Press survey showed today that at least 15 big league performers probably will be paid 1946 sal aries ranging from $55,000 down to $20,000. Heading this group is Hank Greenberg, the former army air force captain now back with the Detroit Tigers, who was paid at the rate of $55,000 for his half season work last year, and has been offered the same contract this year. Others reported in this higher bracket include Joe DiMaggio, New York Yankees, $42,500; Bob Keller, Cleveland, $40,000; Mel Ott, New York Giants, $35,000; Joe Cronin and Ted Williams, Boston Red Sox; Lou Boudrcau, Cleveland, and Dick Wakefield, Tigers, each $25,000; Dixie Walk er, Brooklyn, $22,500; and Alt Newhouser, Tigers; Hank Bo rowy, Chicago Cubs; Red Ruf fing, Spud Chandler, Bill Dickey and Joe Gordon, Yankees, each $20,000. Of these, Ott, Cronin and Boudrcau are playing managers, although Cronin may bo con fined to a pinch hitting rolo this year. Other pilots, non-active, past the 20-grand figure include Joe McCarthy, Yankees; Connie Mack. Philadelphia Athletics; Leo Durochcr, Dodgers, Billy Southworth, Boston Braves, and Bill McKechnic, Cincinnati. Feller's $40,000 for '46 is the highest sum ever paid to a pitch er for one year's work, surpass ing the salaries commanded by Buck Newsom, Lefty Grove, Walter Johnson, Lefty Gomoz, Dazzy Vance, Dizzy Dean and Carl Hubbcll at the height of their careers. Newsom vas paid $35,000 for 1941. Grove got $30,000 in 1932. Johnson reached the $25,000 mark in 1925 after 19 years of vnlltint toiling for Washington's Senators. Gomez, with the Yankees, and Vance, with the Dodgers, each drew $25,000, tho latter holding tnc national leuguo record for pitchers. Dean, with tho Curds and Hubbell, with the Giants, never went beyond $22,500. Prior to the advent of Bnbc Ruth and his homo run bat In 1920 stipends of more than $10,000 were unheard of. Ty Cobb, generally regarded as the greatest player of all time, had to wait until his declining days to receive his top salary of $50, 000 from tho Athletics for tho 1927 season. Lou Gehrig, with the 1938 Yankees; Rogers Horns by with tho 1930 Cubs and Bill Terry with the Giants In the late 30's drew $40,000 each.

Jim Thorpe Will Teach Sports To Florida Kids MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 25 W Big Jim Thorpe, with "knots all over my nead from living m- a trail, er," is in Florida hoping to es tablish a school to teach voune sters the sports that made him famous. The big Indian with an Irish pan "I'm 58th Indian, 28th Irish and l8th French," he ex plains hopes to set up a sports arena with a summer school where he can train coaches as well as players. And you can name your sport Thorpe was Ail-American football star at Carlisle Indian Institute, he played baseball with the New York Giants for six years, at golf he shoots in the medium 70's, and he has played expertly at practically all remaining games. Now 57 and tipping the scales at 215 pounds, he looked back on his career, which included win ning the pentathlon and ecath lon awards in the Olympics in Sweden, and found it good. "I've had a lot of fun." he said, glancing around a trailer full of fishing gear, hunting equipment, bow and arrows and golf clubs. "Now I'd like to teach. His favorite sport, announced with a hearty chuckle, is fishing. Next comes squirrel hunting. And he -can still bring down a raDDii wun a dow ana arrow. Girl Grapplers May Return For Tuesday's Card There is a fiftv-fiftv chance that the two girls who grappled to a draw here last Tuesday night will be back for more ac tion before Klamath Falls mat fans next week though the card has not yet been worked out. . Blonde Clara Mortensen and Brunette Rita Martinez put on a three-round exhibition last time that was sometimes stylistic, sometimes a wild scramble and at all times crowd-pleasing. Rita was clearly the fans' fa vorite but the diminutive Mexi can was not hefty enough to keep Clara down for the count after each gal had one fall. Another woman grappler now sporadically appearing on the coast, Betty McCoy, has also been mentioned for a bout here. Betty hails from somewhere in the mid-west and is something of an artist in her line of work. Big Income I ; J Big Hank Greenberg of the Detroit Tigers is offered $55. 000 to play first base and knock home runs for the Mo tor City baseball team this summer, his salary being tops in both major leagues. Victory Loop Cage Results MURPHY'S VS. BLUES In a slow - moving game played on the Pelican court last night the DeMolay Blue Victory league entry defeated Murphy's Barber Shop 18-11. Neither team hit the basket consistently and the scoring was sparse. Francis West and Jack Eittriem each tallied five pomis for the winners while Joe Gar ner marked up six for the Barbers. GOLDS VS. RUDYS After trailing for most of the game the DeMolay Golds took a hotly-contested 23-22 decision from Rudys in the second Vic tory loop court meet last nigm. The game was close through out but early in the. fourth quarter the Golds went ahead 21-16 and held the lead against a last-minute rally by Rudys. Tom Sandoe hit 10 points for Rudys and Jim Carter got eight for the Golds. Strong Outscores Gale Bishop TACOMA. Jan. 25 tfP) The great Gale Bishop was slightly outclassed in scoring here last night as the Harlem Globe Trot ters took a 61-59 decision from the Fort Lewis All-Stars. Bishop got 20 points in his final appearance with the Fort Lewis team, but was passed for high point honors by Ted Strong of the Trotters, who scored 23.

T Hogan, already popular with the pre-tournament experts, qualified for whatever psycho logical advantage accrues to the favorite's slot yesterday when he shot a four-under-par 67 in the preliminary pro-amateur round on the Phoenix Country Club course. He was out in 35 and home in 32 compared with par 36-35. But Ferrier, entering his seventh tournament since his discharge from the armed forces, also carded a 67 to tie Hogan for individual honors and claim a berth beside him in the favor ite's position. Ferrier's card was 34-33. Lynam Will Bop Beaks With 'Buck1 Gentleman Joe Lynam, the GI wonder boy, who recently lifted the Pacific coast junior heavy weight crown from the head of Brutal Buck Lipscomb, has been booked by Promoter Mack Lil lard to bop beaks with the for mer champ in the top tussle on Tuesday night's crunch card at the armory. Brutal Buck is bent on re venge and hopes to force Lynam into a rematch for the coveted belt.

The Weed assassin will also appear on the bill in the semi windup against a standout op ponent.

The same opponents renew the wrangle tomorrow night and upset triumphs by Oregon and Idaho could be a long handled spoon and stir the northern di vision, Pacific coast conference standings into a country stew. Washington, always brilliant on its home floor, will be strong ly favored to grab both ends ot the Oregon series, but at Mos cow Oregon State is expected to run into stiff opposition. The Idaho Vandals have token two out of three starts since return ing to the Palouse country after a disastrous opening jaunt into Oregon. The teams are well matched in heights, with Jack Phoenix towering to 6 feet 9 for Idaho and Red Rocha of OSC looking up at him from a mere 6 feet 8. Oregon will be remembering its upset win over OSC only defeat suffered to date by the Beavers in its Seattle invasion. Jake Leicht Spikes Rumor He's Quitting EUGENE.
