Only six places remained open In the field, but at least four of tho earlier qualifiers could be nudged out of the race by only fair trial runs today. The drivers most In danger of finding themselves eliminated were veteran Louis Durant of Los Angeles, who qualified at ll 8.973 miles per hour; Joie Chitwood of Reading, Pa., 119.816; Al Putnam of Indian apolis, 116.283, and Louis Tomel of Glcndalc, Calif., 119.193. Five foreign drivers still had a chance to get Into the lineup in the trials running from noon until American Automobile as sociation observers decided it was too dark for traffic on the two-and-a-half mile brick and asphalt oblong. Perhaps the most dangerous of the invaders was Rudi Carac ciola of Switzerland, one-time captain of the great Mercedes Benz team and the auto racing champion of Europe.

By HALE SCARBROUGH Fishing Report High water, rain or no, Klam ath anglers still went nsiung over the weekend and the re ports filtering back indicate they did all right. Fish lake road is open and negotiable now and there is some grading being done. One party reported getting the limit Saturday and Sunday, and were getting strikes trolling, flat-fishing, on eggs and everything else they tried. Salt creek way up north had visitors Sunday and some small trout were taken on single eggs. The water was a bit high and there's about four feet of snow. The anglers had plenty of soft strikes but had trouble snagging the fish. Crescent and Odell have been yielding big catches on worms and bait whitefish. A big catch was seen on Crescent creek, lured by a big spinner. In the Deming creek area some trout were landed, fishing from snow banks, but the Sprague is reported still high and muddy. Two weeks and it should be right, is the expectation. Wood river has been good, taking a boat from the Hanson dock across the lake and trolling in the mouth of Wood river and Sevenmile. Cluster eggs are rec ommended. Recreation and Crystal creek have been good for trolling. Limit catches are being made on the Little Deschutes on small flies and In East lake on single eggs. The Klamath river has done all right by large flies, when not too much water is coming over the dam. ... Ed Ryan, Pelican football coach, will be going up to the University of Oregon in June to receive his BS degree. He wrote his thesis on the power generated by a lineman's charge. ... Frank McCornack, local sportsman, is going to a hospital in San Francisco for treatment of an ailing right arm. ... Ursal Snapp of Merrill may be the next opponent for Chilo quin's bruising Bruce Miller, providing Snapp can peel off eight of his present 168 pounds. Miller weighs 160 and hat a punch like a mule kick. Streamliners Seen On Portland-Seattle Run SEATTLE, May 28 OP) Streamlined trains on the Seattle-Portland run are a "distant possibility" for next year, the Post-Itelligencer said it had been told by President C. E. Denney of the Northern Pacific railway today. The paper quoted Denney as saying the project still was in the study stage, but adding that the line had ordered more new lightweight streamliners than it would normally need in trans continental service. To stop floors from squeaking isn't always easy. If the squeak ing is caused by the rubbing of one floor board against another j (as weight is applied and then 1 removed) it may be stopped by sifting talcum powder into the joint of the boards.
