FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1954 HERALD AND NEWS. KLAMATH FALLS. OREGON PAGE NINE Tribe, Unguis Mantle Sparks Yankees By BEN PHLEGAR Associated Press Sports Writer One of the prime reasons for the recent rise of the New York Yankees is the blossoming of . Mickey Charles Mantle into a big .time big leaguer. The 22-year-old switch hitting center fielder apparently has ar rived, although some fans who re gard Yankee miracles as common er place feel he took a long time com " Ing. , - - - ' -Amid reams of ballyhoo the Yanks tried to jump Mantle from the Class C Western Association into Joe DiMaggio's job in 1951. It didn't quite come olf. Mantle had to go down to Kansas City for seasoning. He came back in 1952 for what would have been a sensational season for any normal rookie. He hit 23 home runs and finished with a .311 average. But it wasn't enough for the fans who were still dreaming of DiMag. Mickey fell off to .295 last season and when .he came up with an old knee injury during the winter the Yanks were really worried. An operation put him out of com '.mission through much of. spring ...training and he wasn't ready when the season started. But he's really rolling now. His average of .323 is second high on the club. He leads the league in home runs with 20 and tops the Yankees In runs scored, triples, hits, runs batted In, total bases and bases on balls. He also has struck out the most, not too unusual for a - distance hitter.

Wl The test of whether the bleak little Keller Public Course is capable of giving the top ' golf professionals a real challenge, or whether it's Just a drive-and-pitch layout for Sunday swingers got under way today with the beginning of match play In the 36th POA championship. Keller had been ridiculed before the tournament as being too easy for such players, but as scores be gan to mount in yesterday's sec ond qualifying round, one acute observer remarked: -"This course is so easy it's get ting tough." , That's about what happened dur ing the two days of qualifying and what's more likely to happen in the man-to-man contests. The pro sharpshooters, seeing possible bir dies on almost every hole, tried too hard to get them. The result was that Ed Oliver, the rotund "Mr. Pork Chops" from Lemont, III., breezed off with the medal and $250 with a score of 66-70136. That's two strokes higher than the PGA qualifying record made on reputedly tougher courses. Today's program called for two rounds of 18hole matches. That kind has to be won or lost In a hurry and presents a real tempta tion to gamble on the "birdie" holes.

Dalton's won their first game cf the season by whipping the Sand meyer team by a 14-9 score, while Silani's turned in a 27-14 win over the Exchange Club in a high scoring ballgame. OuiOlWceJu UJiik The Sportsman By CLAYTON HANNON .... Fishing in the Klamath Basin and outlying districts again should be good this weekend for all of the local anglers, who nearly all had from fair to excellent luck last Sat urday and Sunday. Some nice size fish have been reported to the local sporting goods stores this week, and with' the full moon- out of sight this weekend, some more of the troph ies should be taken by Basin fish ermen. Again It seems to be good to excellent fishing on the William son and Wood Rivers for bait and spin fishermen, while some other catches should be made by fly .fishermen. Night crawlers and medium single eggs should solve the bait fishermen's problem, while Dare devils and brass Wobble Rites seem to be the ticket for spin fish ing on the Williamson. Fishing on the Wood last week end was good for those who used just about the same lineup as was used on the Williamson as far as bait fishing is concerned. Copper and brass Wobble Rites and the Kopper Wobbler were the hottest lures over the two-day fish ing period, with other catches be ing reported on the orange witn black spots Wobble Lure. Last Tuesday, Lew Erbes, of Hal's Sport Shop, and Bob Bird, a salesman for the Mel Barr Sport ing Goods Company, bad excellent luck on the Williamson as they brought home nine rainbows be tween them. Both were spin fishing and used several different lures Including the copper and brass Wobble Rites and the copper backed Daredevil to land the beautiful catch. Both Forks of the Sprague River should again be good this week end for most anglers who are planning on using eggs and worms, while fly fishing on the stream seems to have the brightest out look. Either the grey or yellow hackle should pick up some nice, catches for the fly fisherman. Long Creek was again hot as it has been in the past couple of weeks for both Rainbows and East ern Brooks, with a few Dolly Var dens also being taken from the Klamath-Lake County stream. Lake fisherman will probably have the best results at either of the twin lakes, Paulina or East, Just south of Bend on Highway 97.

Reports also come from Lake of the Woods and Fish Lakes on fair to good luck while angling these waters. Trolling in both lakes seems to be led by the Ford Fend er or Doc Sheldon spinner with worms or a flat fish trailing be hind. . For those who like to hike into a fishing area, the Skyline lakes should be good at this time of the year, very few reports have been made by fishermen who have fished these waters, but these that have been received are very fa vorable. Crater Lake is another spot where vaoation anglers, as well as local fishermen, have been trying their luck in the past couple of weeks. Some nice catches, both In number and size have been report ed. Winner of last week's Big Fish Contest held at Poole's Sporting Goods Store, a five pound three ounce Rainbow that was caught by Evelyn Thorn. The woman angler was fishing Link River with worms being used as bait. So far this week, a five pound 10 ounce trout leads the list. This nice sized fish was caught by Bil lie Johnson while fishing the Wil liamson with a Flat Fish. ( The State Police made six ar rests for game violations during the past week of fishing season, two for possession of trout under six inches, three were made' for exceeding daily bag limit of trout and the last one was for having il legal possession of untagged veni son. . Both of the under size arrests brought about $26.00 fines plus $4.50 court" costs. The exceeding arrests, which were reported on Long Creek, twice, and Dalrv Creek were not completed late this week. .

I've had good horses and good bosses. They have let me do what I wanted to do. For example, I dont believe in pointing a horse for the Kentucky Derby. I never decide on a Derby horse until we run the Wood Memorial. "I train them all alike. When one is ready I run him. I belteve you have to let a horse develop naturally. You're liable to hurt him if you rush him and force him." His all-time favorite? "Well, I suppose It was Gallant Fox," he answered reluctantly, In dicating they all were his pets. "He had courage and class. He always ran his true race, never needed an excuse. Horses are a lot like humans, you know. You have to be tolerant and patient with them.
