Sportsmen Here Back Salmon Bill
!
Br HALE 8CABBHOUOH
The Klumuth-Modoc chapter,
Izauk Walton league, is thinking
over a proposal to light for the
controversial House Bill 378
commonly known as the "steel
head bill' which will probably
go on a referendum at the next
general election.
The bill is a critical measure
to conserve salmon and allow
the coast streams to be used for
spawning, and actually doesn't
effect waters on this side of the
Cascades.
Commercial fishing hiterests
have fought against the bill,
which would limit salmon-catching
but not prohibit it, all the
way through the house and-sen-ateand
are continuing to cam
paign to have it Voted down on
the baHot.
Last Saturday the Oregon
Wildlife Federation, of which
the local Iiaak Walton chapter
has become a member, decided
to actively push for passage of
the measure and last night Klam
ath sportsmen heard a proposal
by John B. Ebinger that liaak
Walton league .members here be
assessed $1 each to go into a war
chest to help put the bill across.
Last year, Ebinger said, the
state fish commission did not re
ceive enough poundage fees from
commercial fishing to pay its
strict administrative costs, so it's
imperative that if the salmon be
allowed to use the streams to
spawn and multiply on there'll
be none left for sport anglers.
Work on the migratory deer
problem is coming along satis
factorily to all concerned. Frank
McCornack, who has been active
in studying the problem with
Oregon and California officials,
told the lzaak Walton gathering,
and by May the survey now
being conducted in the Modoc
feeding area will be complete.
McCornack Is going out next
month to try to determjno the
number of deer wintering be
tween hero and Lnkeview. The
total has already been estimated
at 2000.
The chapter last night also
voted to favor the reappointment
of Ted Conn to the state game
commission, although the Lake
view man was put on the pan
here for his stand on the doe
kill when he first went on the
commission.
Conn's attitude toward deer
has moderated considerably, the
chapter was told, and he is now
one of the two experienced men
on the commission at a time
when that body is preparing to
spend $1,800,000 on a postwar
program.
Governor Snell has said that
he Intended to reappoint Conn,
Ken McLeod is the new presi
dent of the Klamath-Modoc chap
ter; Hal Ogle was chosen vice
president: Fred Southwell, treas
urer; Al Hattou, secretary; Clar
ence Miller, Lloyd Low and Day
ton E. Van Vactor, directors.
The by-laws were amended to
include the past president" and
one additional director on the
governing board, making 11 in

"Mitt Master" Bill Dickey Out
For Another Season With Yanks
NKyr YORK,' Jan. 29 0P)
The.o.xpectedsix-vay battle for
the rvgular catching berth of
the .'Ndw York Yankees, billed
as one of the highlights of the
Larry AlacPhail sponsored Flor-ida-Sanayna
spring junket, ap
pears to have: fizzled out today
before it- could even get start

AU "because the "mitt mas
ter," better .known as Bill
Dickey of 'Little Rock, Ark.,
,hasdecided to don the mask
and pad again. Discharged from
the.' navy-- on iJanuairy 15, and
dressed in civilian clothes, Bill
appeared at the Yankee off ice
- yesterday and said -modestly, he
"hoped to regain his" catching
job." - . :." ;
The highly elated MacPhait
said "Dickey is my No. 1 catch
er." . . - y
-The 38-ytear-old star; has been
the regular . receiver for the
Yankees for 15 years and dur
ing that time played a promi
nent role in bringing nine pen
nants and eight, world cham
pionships to the Bronx Bomb
ers. ! ' V. . , ,
Holder of numerous records,
the . tall ex-lieutenant-commander
caught 100 or more games
13 consecutive years, was se
lected on the American .league
all-star team annually ' from
1933 to 1945 except 1935, and
appeared in 38 world series
games. This last, however, is
not record.
Dickey's desire for action
after '. two years in the navy
where he played very little
baseball, came as a surprise. It
was rumored he was in line
for a- managerial berth in the
.Yankee minor league chain,
possibly with Newark in the
International league.
Dickeyi is expected to sign
at the salary of $20,000 he re
ceived in ' 1943, the year he
batted .351 in 85 games.
Dickey plans to leave for the
Yankee training camp in St.

Seattle Man
Taking Over
Public Track
SEATTLE, Jan. 29 UP) Al
Hardy, vVartime dollar a year
man for tine government and $75
a day mai for Seattle's Long
acres race track, leaves this week
for Vancoirver, B. C, where he
takes over Supervision of what is
probably the only race track in
America where the public is the
majority stockholder.
Al will be (A) general man
ager, (B) director of racing and
(C) presiding" steward at the new
ly organized; British Columbia
tturf and country club.
The club boasts such pro
moters as Charley Howard, who
made Seabiscuit famous and vice
versa; groaner Bing Crosby, who
did all right for himself without
any help from 'his horses, and
G. L. "Pat" Fraser, well-to-do
Vancouver attorney.
They, along with a varied as
sortment of some 3A0 Hollywood
ians, own $200,000 of the stock
in the track, which is capitalized
at a cool million. -Another one
hundred grand is socked away in
the club treasury.
But $700,000 was .subscribed
by the public, along with the
usual voting privileges, so Joe
the cab driver and Minnie the
housekeeper can swing their
weight around at board meetings
just as much as Howard, Cros
by, Fraser and the retinue of
Hollywoodians.
As a matter of fact, the public
had oversubscribed the issue by
half, or $1,400,000, even before
the date the stock went on sale,
so all bidders had to take half
as much as they'd sought in or
der to make the stock go around.

He added, however, he was
not going to join the "GI spe

Rulings
Definite
PORTLAND, Ore., Jan. 29 UP)
Oregon's 1946 fishing regula
tions, little changed from the
tentative plan drawn up two
weeks ago, were announced to
day by the state game commis
sion. The general trout season will
run from April 20-Oct. 31, with
the same bag limit as last year:
13 fish or 15 pounds and 1 fish
daily; possession limit, ' 30
pounds and 1 fish. In Lake
county the open season will be
May 20-Oct. 31; in Harney coun
ty, May 4-Oct. 31.
Winter fishing of trout 10
inches and over in the coastal
waters will be halted about
Feb. 8, the commission said.
Salmon, steelhead, Jack sal
mon, striped bass, shad arid
sturgeon may be caught - the
year around except in waters
which are closed or open only
at specific seasons. Spiny-rayed
fish except for black bass in
Klamath county, prohibited dur
ing May and June will have a
continuous open season.
The commission added three
more streams to the closed list:
Ennis, Martin and Goose creeks,
all McKenzie river tributaries.
The bag limit for East lake,
Deschutes county, was left at
10 fish instead of being cut,
as planned two weeks ago, to
five.
Biologists will be assigned to
study East, Paulina, and Dia
mond lakes, and Owyhee reser
voir.

Last-ditch efforts by Mack
LUlard, rassling promoter, to
contract a bout for tonight be
tween two of the three women
grapplers now in the district
have fallen through, so tonight's
card goes on the armory mat at
8:30 with the three masculine
bouts already signed.
Brutal Jack Lipscomb, he of
the ruthless and unsavory tactics,
gets another crack at Handsome
Joe Lynam in the main go.
Lynam now wears the coast
junior heavy crown Lipscomb
retained so long but apparently
has no intention of putting the
toga on the line for a while.
So tonight's battle will be just
for experience, as far as Lips
comb is concerned.
The semi-final put the Weed
Italian Pete Belcastro against
French-Canadian Pierre LaBelle
for four rounds or two tumbles
out of three. Both these boys
are old-timers and plenty ring
wise, but Belcastro's extra
ordinarily good showing against
Joe Lynam last week put him in
the favored spot over the Ca
nuck. A last-minute substitution puts
Norval Stockstill of Ashland in
the ring with Herbie Parks for
the opener. Chester Hayes,
fresh in from Hawaii, has fallen
victim to the Klamath Falls
climate and is confined to his
bed with a terrific cold. ,
His tropical blood was too
thin to withstand the rigors of
being this far above sea level. -
Parks is a nice, easy-to-get-along-with
guy who goes his way
fighting openers with never a
gripe. He fights any and all
comers and would probably
agree to tangle with Gargantua
without a quaver. The sub
stitution for tonight makes no
difference with him.
Wickhorst
Sees Bears
On Top Rung
BERKELEY"! Calif.' Jan: 29 (SP)
Frank H. Wickhorst stepped into
the head football coach job at
the University of California to
day and said he had his eyes on
the top rung of the national lad
der for the Golden Bears.
The new coach will use the T
formation and a few other
schemes instead of relying solely
on the pre-war single wing, he
announced.
Wickhorst. who bossed the
California line from 1931 to
1942, when he entered active
service with the navy, has been
signed under a three-year con
tract, the university's associated
students executive committee an
nounced last night. Salary was
not disclosed.
He is now a navy commander
on terminal leave, but is taking
over immediately, succeeding
Buck Shaw, former Santa Clara
university coach who took the
California job for one year only
before going over to the San
Francisco club of the All-America
Professional Football league.
Clint Evans, university gener
al manager, said Wickhorst's
choice was unanimous in both
the student executive committee
and the athletic advisory board.
