(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.

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.
The Monsoon Lands of south
eastern Asia is the earth's great
.rice-growing region, producing
95 per cent of the world's supply.

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.

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.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Jan. 25 UP)
Little Benny Hogun of Hershcy,
Pa., will pit his long-distance tee
shots against the near-magic put
ting ability to Big Jim Fcrrier,
an Australian transplanted to
Chicago, in the $7500 Phoenix
Open golf tournament which
starts today. 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.

Tuesday night's crunch card at

Brutal Buck is bent on re

into a rematch for the coveted
belt. Last Tuesday, Lipscomb
pulverized Leo Mortensen and
Lynam went to a draw with a
rejuvenated Pete Belcastro.

Idaho Tilt
By The Associated Preis
A blast of double-barreled
action that should scorch the
frost oft the Palonse and dry
Seattle puddles Is on the basket
ball menu for tonight when Ore
gon State stakes its first place
status against Idaho at Moscow
and Washington defends its sec
ond notch grip against Oregon in
Seattle.
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.
