PAGE EIGHT HKRALO AND NEWS, KLAMATU KAMA ORRGON Kit I DAY, MAY 211. 1HIW National Open Links Rough On Pro Golfers By CAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK I The touring pro fessionals spend most o their year playing golf over pttch-aiid-putt courses, which permit them to mnko a couple of careless shots on almost any round and still check in with a sparkling 65 or 66. The National Open is to be played starting June 17. . The thought occurs that the wide disparity between the winter-tour shooting galleries and the tough-cned-up championship courses might have been an important fac tor in the wonderful record of Ben Hogan since the Bantam recov ered from the terrible injuries he received In a car-bus collision early in 1949. During some 15 years of serious competition before the crash, Ho gnn had won only one Open title, in 1946. Since he amazed both the medical and golfing world by get ting back on his wobbly 40-year-old pins and resuming his' career," the dauntless Texan has .won three of the four Opens played, in '50, '51 and 53. Over that unrivaled period Ho gan, because of his lack of stamina, has been forced to pass up all the lesser events on the 6,000-yard courses and confine him self to a few of the big ones where distance and accuracy are essen tial on shot after shot for 73 holes. His crowning achievement was his victory in last year's British Open at Carnoustie, which offers the most grueling test in all golf. In other words and barring his sentimental play in the Colonial Open at his native Fort Worth Hogan scarcely has struck a shot lor several years on anything ex- cept an exacting golf hole and on which he did not exert the limit of his powers of concentration and skill. Something has set him apart from his brother pros of the money circuit, and It seems logical that this has helped. In fact, there have been complaints from the field that Ben wasn't being . entirely fair about iU - Anyone who Is brave enough to pick against the great men. then, in the coming struggle at Baltus- lol should at least be aware that the USGA, as usual, has gotten in its licks early and fixed up a course that will not be for boys. In the opinion of some who have examined it recently, Baltusrol will be only for Ben Hogan and. pos sibly, for Samuel Snead if the latter can keep his drives straight on every hole. They say that the famous course, which has been lengthened from 6.873 to 7,027 yards for the Open, with 10 new setback tees, is going to be a terror and that a total of 2iio strokes should be good enough to win. This is agamst a par of 34-3670. or 380 for the 72 holes. A player shooting that sort of golf on the winter circuit, it should be pointed out, would run out of eat in; money on about the second stop. Ball Tourney In Semi-Finals ALBANY, Ore. til. The host team, Albany, will meet Milwau kie. and Willamette of Eugene will tangle with Roosevelt of Portland in semi-final games at- the slate class A high school baseball tour nament Friday night, starting at I p. m. All four saw action Thursday with Roosevelt knocking over Ore gon City, 7-1, Willamette dropping Hermiston, 5-3, Mtlwaukie wallop ing Grants Pass, 13-3, and Albany nosing out Grant of Portland, 7-6. The host team provided the most thrills, breaking a 6-6 deadlock In the final inning of the day's last game. Jerry Hazlewood was the lad who did It. He took over on the mound for Albany in the fourth inning to pitch his team to victory, and in addition clouted a single, a home run, and then a long double to drive home the winning run in the seventh inning. . Grant, the Portland champion, lost its hitting star in the fourth inning. Bob Jacoby ran into the centerfield fence, chasing a fly ball, and was carried, unconscious, to the Albany General Hospital for observation. Bill Wiitala of Roosevelt also starred in the opening round. He pitched his team to the win over Oregon City, striking out 12 men, and batting in four runs. Dick Stephens, the Milwaukie pitcher, also struck out 12 men in the victory over Grants Pass. That game went only six Innings in con formance with a tournament rule that a game must end when one team gets 10 runs ahead after five innings. Milwaukie collected nine hits, but they were not nearly as damaging to Grants Pass as the II errors the Jittery Southern Ore gon team committed. An alert Willamette team de feated Hermlston's Bill Manny, despite the fact he struck out six men and gave up only two hits. The score was tied 2-2 in the sixth Beatty Oregon Headquarters - ENTRIES CLOSE 10 P.M.

'Hec Knowles, had said Wednesday night that he was going to recom mend mat uavey quit. Davey had just suffered a seventh-round TKO by welterweight Vince Martinex in Chicago Stadium. The balding Davey, 28, who has a masters' degree in education, said it was tough to be retiring cow "because I wanted to have a good fight before leaving the ring as an active boxer." "Boxing has been very reward ing to me." he said. "It enabled me to receive an education. It gave me a rich and varied exper ience. In no other business, at my age, could I have done so well."

The Klumulh has been very ood hi most cases the past couple of weeks, and tins week produced some of the nicest catches made this year. Lew Eibex and Terry Kulilmaii landed- their limits of rainbow Irom the stream lust Sunday. The average sue of the catch was 15 Inches. To top off this cuuii. Kibes and two other basin anglers went "tJJ 1 ft in 11 1 1 !- 11 1 I THIS STRING OF FISH typifies many of the limit catchei that have been made in Klamath River the past few weeks and the early part of this week. Lew Erbes is shown with tha nict catch that he and Terry Kuhlman took from the river. Tha fish were on display at Hal's Sport Shop early this week. down to the river aim in early thlsj week, and brought out 18 between them. The average size of tills mess was two pounds. Fly fishing has nicked ud on the river in the last few weeks. and should produce some nice catches during the final weekend 01 fisning. wtnie spin lishing with Wobble Rites and other lures are still being used with good results. Tuesday. June 1, will be the fi nal day of fishing on the Klamath. until October 1 when It will re- n forth crest oft hev ea r. open for the rest of the year. Williamson River has always produced some nice size catches In years past and this year should not be an exception. The most likely area for enrly fish ing will be from the Williamson River store dqwn stream to the mouth of the river. Spinning lures or trolling, out fits with worms should, do the trick for all anglers who are plan ning to fish this stream during the first weekend of open fishing. There arc quite a faw other streams that are coming into or should be getting better by this weekend, according to all reports that we can get. The Bly area fishing holes are all improving. The water is get ting a little lower in most streams and It is not quite as fast and murky as it has been earlier In the season. Cottonwood Creek. Dairy Creek. Myrtle Creek and Long Creek will 11 probably produce some good fishing this weekend. The Sprague ; Is reportedly better although 11 is still a little high, while Sycan River is getting belter every week. Most of these previously men tioned waterways can be lishcd j best with the garden lure or the worm, and as the day progresses on, flies should prove satisfactory i In most cases. Odell and Diamond Lakes will undoubtedly get plenty of anglers this weekend, being that It is a holiday, but their arc also quite a few fish to be taken from these two bodies of water.

Lake of tho Woods Is another prospective fishing area for tills weekend's trip, being that It of ficially opens tomorrow also. The lake's tributaries nro closed even though the lake Is open to fish ing. Ford Fenders and worms along with other combinations of trolling lures will probably get results for those trying their luck at Lake of the Woods. Crapple and spiny-ray fish In Gerbcr Reservoir have slacked off a little bit due to the cold weather that has hit the Basin earlier this week. The crappie In most cases have left the fly lures and have been taking a number 700 red and yellow hot shot, according to one of our sources. They are still being taken with files, but the little lure seems to work bet ter at certain limes, especially If the weather remains cold. In Poole's Big Fish contest last week. Isom Mitchell took top hon ors with his eight pound 15 ounce rainbow. Mitchell landed the nice size fish out of Spring Creek. Tony Schukis' five pound a I x ounce rainbow was the second best fish entered. For the second week In a row. the state police office reports three game violations. Two ot the arrests were made on the North Fork of Bprague River, for no angling license. Tho third arrest was made at Pish Hole Creek, near Bly, for angling prohibited methods, when a woman angler was caught using two poles.
