Local Firm Makes New Fish Lure - The manufacture of a new fish ing lure, the "Combo-Lure." has been started In Klamath Palls and Is now on sale at most local sport ing goods firms. Inventors Gordon Morris and Bud Adkins of this city said the new lure Is an Interchangeable device that makes up Into practically i : combination. For $10 over 2,000 combinations can be obtainedr-or for 95 cents by the individual piece. Designed for spin fishing, the body of the "Combo-Lure" is of Zumac dye cast material and weighs one-sixth of an ounce. Flies, either bucktail or streamer type, are tied on a two-Inch shank. The body fits on the shank and is re movenble. The attachments, which are eas ily plugged into the body, consist of "frog legs" with flashers or streamers attached, a brass wob bler, and 12 different patterns of files. In all there are 18 different body patterns, all interchangeable. Adkins and Morris, both fifher men, claim the new lure Is a tried and proven "game getter" on all types of fish. The new manufacturing company is located at 1040 East Main, em ploys between six and 10 women who assemble the lures, paint the bodies and card and package the lure after assembly. Plans for a plastic body lure that is light enough for stream llshing with a fly pole and for a plastic body salmon lure have been worked out by the company, with manu facture to start In the near future. The third member of the corpor ation is Einar (Scotty) Berge. Simmons, Dean In Fame Hall COOPERSTOWN. N. Y. if!

Old Diz. now a nrnfevsinnni dio and TV man, glibly expressed I his thanks to the baseball writers, : officials and players who helped him. "The good Lord was good to me." he said. "Gave me a good rloht arm, strong back and a weak mind." Mathews Pounds 2 Homers By BEN PHLKGAR AP Mparts Writer If the Brooklyn Dodgers play close to ,500 ball on their 13-game Western road trio opening today in Chicago, the home office will be sorely tempted to start having World Series tickets, printed. Tne Dodgers begin their third Western swing with a seven-game bulge over the Milwaukee Braves and the deep rooted conviction that the only serious challenger between them and the pennant is fourth-place New York. w Tne Giants went West with high hopes, too, but they got off to a dreadful start last night in Milwau kee where the, glven-up-for-dead Braves buried them under a 13-0 .count. For the Dodgers, the West this year has proved Just as wld and woolly as the storybooks claim. Brooklyn won only three out of eight games on Its first Journey West. On their second trip the Dodgers won six and lost eight. But it was on that second tour that the Dodgers finished up with three straight over Milwaukee and moved into the league lead they've held ever since. RECOVER The Giants can still recover from last night's beating.. Unlike the Dodgers they've played good ball In the West this season, win ning 14 out of 21. They have a winning edge in every park except Milwaukee, where they've now lost four out of six. After the Braves dropped three df their four games in Brooklyn over the weekend, most observers figured they were finished. But against New York last night Char- He Grimm's lads tried to persuade the home folks it was all a mistake. They clubbed four New York pitchers for 14 hits and made it easy for lefty Warren Spahn to reg ister his 13th victory of the season and his 30th major league shutout. Eddie Mathews hammered two home runs, the first one with the bases loaded during an eight-run uprising in the fourth inning. The blast was Mathews' second grand slam clout of the season and his night's work left him with 32 hom ers in 95 games, one snort of Babe Ruth's pace in 1927, the year , the Babe hit the all-time record of 60. HEARN LOSES Everybody but Spahn contrib uted one hit and Mathews got three, Jim Hearn was the loser. The game was the only one in either league. The Giants stick around Milwau kee for three more games on this visit. Brooklyn plays three in Chi cago. Pittsburgh, is in St. Louis for three and Philadelphia opens the tour with three in Cincinnati. In the American league, where only eight games separate fourth place Cleveland and first-place New York, the Yankees begin their home stand with three games against the Indians who have beaten them six in a row. Boston, fresh from a brilliant 10-2 toad trip, makes Its bid for better things against second-place Chicago- in Boston. St. Louis will be at Phila delphia and Detroit at Washington. TIME OUT! "You can't blame Al's wife . . . with four kids to feed those 25 and SO dollar fines hurt!" Medford Pro In NW Lead VANCOUVER, Wash. Wl A cool Medford, Ore., pro solved the secrets of the Royal Oaits course here Monday to card a six-under-par 66 and take the lead In the opening round of the $2,400 North west Open Golf Tournament.

Gaulocher took 35 going out and. 33 coming in. Oregon amateur champion Bruce Cudd gained a tie for third place in the tourney and top spot among the slmon pures with a 35 3469.

TONIGHT'S BALLFARE O'Brien Twins Add Zip to Bucs IS By JOHN McCALLl'M NEA Staff Corespondent NEW YORK (NEA ) While big names of baseball tolled in the obscure minors to reach the major leagues, Eddie and Johnny O'Brien hopped directly from the Seattle-University campus to the Pirates The 21-year-old O'Briens' as- the O'Briens will go. but no ones going to out-hustle them. They're the kings in that department.' Fred Haney wiU go along with the Hall-of-Fame second base man. The Pirates are the same old Pirates, but no one Is faulting them on hustle. T!-e O'Briens 01 South Amboy, N.J., see to that. The twins have the whole club cendancy parallels that of Frank 'giving It the college try," relates Prisch. Watching them, the Old Fordham Flash sees more thaii the first identical twins to crash the big show. In their play around second base, he sees himself breaking in again. "Tremendous enthusiasm, that's what they've got," testifies the man who leaped directly from Fordham to the Giants in 1919. "I thought it went out of style with the G.s House Gang, but these kids are bringing it back. "Hustle? They move on and off the field so fast that they're sitting on the bench before the catcher can even turn around. If we had more O'Briens around it'd stop those drawn-out,' dreary f our hour games. "Their gameness, courage and tenacity exemplify the money player instinct. Despite the fact they lack the polished artistry of seasoned stars, they are natural born competitors. Aggressiveness can carry you a long way. 'When I broke in with the Giants I batted cross-handed, over ran grounders and in general had to be taught the basics. Only my speed and hustle kept me in the line-up. Its too early to say how far Manager Haney. "You'd tninit World Series hinged on every game, very unusual for a laat place team." Does the Pittsburgh Pilot have much trouble telling the twins apart? The only way I can- tell 'em apart," he grins, "is that Eddie is a half Inch shorter than Johnny.' Eddie was an outfielder In col lege, Johnny a second baseman. Branch Rickey decided to convert Eddie Into a shortstop when he signed the pair. Watching the kids work out, a writer asked which was which. Just then Eddie got down on one knee, the ball skid ding between his legs. "Now you know which O'Brien was tho outfielder," he was told. But Eddie quickly turned out be a remarkable shortstop. Haney. says the boys already have established themselves as in fielders, and they're hardly All America outs. The O'Briens received a tele phone call from All Brightman, their basketball coach at Seattle. "Fellas," he said, "congratulate me. I've just become the father of twins I" Everybody around the O'Brien look-alikes sees double.

WASHINGTON I Todav. for the second time In eight years, the Marine Corps releases Ted Wil liams from active duty. The 34-year-old jet pilot planned to return to Boston immediatelv to join the Red Sox. If the Boston management wants it that way. Williams could play in tonight's game against Chicago, although he says he is not in condition. Williams, who Is a captain in the Marine Corps' volunteer re serve, was called up May 1, 1962. and sent to Korea. He flew 38 mis sions before an ear and nose ail ment sent him to the sidelines. Doctors at the naval hospital in suburban Bethesda, Md., put him through a treatment program and yesterday gave him a ciean bill of health. That freed him for im mediate separation from active duty, although his term of duty normally would not expire until Oct. 1 It usually takes days or even weeks for the separation formali ties to be completed. In Williams' case, it is taking less than 24 hours. Asked whether he thought his ail ment would Interfere with his plav ing, Williams said, "I guess I can't hear as well as I used to. but I don't think that'll bother my ball playing." Williams scoffed at published stories that he will be back in the Red So): lineup by such and such a date. He said that personally he has no idea when he'll plav. "I'm stiff," he said. "I haven't swung a bat in nearly two years. I don't want to be get In there and hurt the club because I m not ready." But he made it quite clear he wants to get back in action and soon. He's looking forward to quite a few seasons of big league ball. Baseball May Help Cross WASHINGTON in The Red Cross is seeking to enlist each of the country's 350 professional base ball parks to aid in a fund raising drive this tall, and President Eisenhower has promised to lend his prestige. i George A. Garrett of the Red Cross said the idea of the Red Cross drive is to persuade each pro baseball club to donate a day's net income to its treasury. A re cent change In the law permits pro sports groups to deduct such dona tions from their income for ti.x purposes. HOME RUNS Mathews. Mil waukee, 32; Kluszewski, Cincin nati, 29; Campanella.
