Hixson Still
Unchanged In
KF Hospital
No change is reported in the
condition of Lee Hixson, Med
ford middleweight who is in
Klamath Valley hospital with a
hemorrhage of the brain after
he was knocked out in the sec
ond round of a prize fight with
Bruce Miller here a week ago.
Hixson, an ex-serviceman, was
in a critical condition yester
day but was conscious.
He was re-admitted to the hos
pital Saturday afternoon after
he went into a coma at his home
in Medford. During the fight
last Tuesday night he received
two smashing blows to the
mouth and chin and was out for
about IS minutes while Dr.
George Adlen attended him.
Dr. Adler had him taken to
the hospital that night, but the
next morning Hixson left the
hospital against orders and went
home.
Before the bout Hixson was
thoroughly examined, according
to boxing commission rules, and
Dr. Adler was at ringside dur
ing the fight. Referee Wally
Moss had no reason to stop the
bout as Hixson did not appear
hurt until the knockout.
He took one blow flush in the
mouth from Miller in the second
round, was knocked down tem
porarily, then got up only to go
down before another right to the
chin.

W. E. Burrows told today how
his sister, Mrs. H. R. Reynolds
of Roseburg, caught a 25
pound, 4-ounce Chinook sal

out a hook.
The wire leader on her line
wound around the salmon, he
said, and she hauled it in by
the tail.
She proved she could use a
hook, too, by landing a 16

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.

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. I

Dusette whipped the Italian

LA Slugger Skids
But Holds Bat Lead
LOS ANGELES. May 28 Mi
Suffering his first slump of the
season, Loyd Christopher of Los
Angeles skidded 20 points last
week but his .390 average was
plenty adequate to keep him at
the top of the Coast league hit
parade for the fifth consecutive
week.
Frank Kalin, Hollywood out
fielder, was second with .346
through last Friday's games, Leo
Moriarity'a statistics disclosed.
Leading slugger was Oakland's
