OREGON PAGE NINE Tempers Fly, Harris Not To Trade Blows ChiSoK raves ieattein) Move; B ARROWHEAD SPRINGS, Calif (L'PIl This camp of heavy weight challenger Roy Harris has become "Cioofycrest by the Springs" the screwiest training rendezvous since W e 1 s h m an Tommy Farr groomed at Long Branch, N. J., for his 11)37 shot at Joe Louis' title. Tempers have flared here, sports writers and photographers ire running eround in circles, and everyone is ready to punch somebody in the nose that is: everyone is ready except Harris. The challenger from Cut and Shoot, Tex., is slated to fight Floyd Patterson for his heavy weight crown at Wrigley Field, Los Angeles, next Monday night. But trainer Bill Gore refused to let Harris do any punching Mon day and declared angrily, "lie may not do any boxing for the rest of the week." Gore snapped at the large band of reporters who questioned him about the cancellation and about the challenger's condition. And some of the reporters snapped back. IX FIGHTING MOOD For a moment it seemed that unscheduled fisticuffs might be exchanged between lanky, white haired Gore and some of the rewsmen, there in the swanky Nat'l Guards, Mould'craft Ball Winners National Guard and Moulding craft moved out in front of the Men's Softball League President's Cup playoffs at Conger Field Mon day night by beating Hal's Sport Shop and Market Basket in first round games. The Guards whipped Hal's 4-1 behind the two-hit pitching of Woody Wood. Market Basket, the league winner, was bounced 12-3 by Mouldingcraft with Gus Gest vang hurling a four-hittcr. In the first game. National Guard scored four time's in the fifth for their winning margin. Ralph Niguard scored when Wood tripled for the first run of the game. Wood came home later on a double by Ralph Beard. Shaky fielding on the part of Hal's al lowed the Guards to score twice more in the fifth. Wood struck out 13. The two hits he gave up were a lead-off triple in the first inning by Otis Gladden and a seventh-inning' sin gle off the bat of Frank Jones, who scored Hal's only run. Mouldingcraft and Market Basket played on even terms until the fourth when the winners scored one to break up a 3-all game. Dale Cunningham singled, i stole second base and raced home with the win ning run on a single by Ken Young. Four runs in the fifth and four more in the sixth "iced" the game for Mouldingcraft. Gus Gestvang not only pitched Mouldingcraft to the win, but col lected a perfect five-for-five at the plate. Bill Benson had two of Mar ket Basket's four hits. Tuesday night's playoff schedule tends Hal's against Market Basket at 6:45. At 8:15, Mouldingcraft meets National Guard. The loser of the first game will be eliminat ed.

Atlantic Flyway Cut Waterfowl Hunting Regulations Set WASHINGTON (AP)-A cut of 10 days in the hunting season for ducks and other waterfowl in Atlantic flyway states was an nounced today. New restrictions also were imposed on taking canvasback and redhead ducks in all flyways except the- Pacific. The 1958 - 59 regulations for shooting migratory waterfowl were announced ny Assistant sec retary of the Interior Ross Leffler. The new limitations reflect an outlook for smaller fall duck flights in all areas east of the Pacific flyway. The Fish and Wildlife Service said last week that the 1958 win tering population of ducks in the Atlantic flyway was at the lowest level since 1955. It also said the number of diving ducks such as canvasback and redheads was on a downward trend while that of puddling ducks was upward. The new regulations stipulate that, with certain exceptions in the Pacific flyway, the states may select their shooting season within the outside dates of Oct. 1, 1958. and Jan. 15. 1959. inclu sive. This is the same span as last year. The Atlantic flyway will have a 60-day season for waterfowl and coots, this compared with a To day season during the last three years. The Mississippi llyway will con tinuelor tne fourth year to have a 70-lay season for water fowl and coots. The Central flyway is being offered an option under which its 75-day season for ducks may be extended hr 15 days with an accompanying reduction of one 100 . dollar-a-day karris chateau where the challenger was resting incommunicado in bed. "One of you wrote that Roy is not in condition for this fight," yelled Gore. "That's a direct re flection on me., And I'm telling you it was a lie. He's in shape, ready to fight right now but I'm not taking any chances on his going stale." "Name the man who wrote it," shouted an angry Los Angeles writer. "Don't be taking it out on all of us for what somebody else did. We came here to see Harris and we want to see him." "Well, you won't see him not even if Harris wants it, or his manager (Lou Viscusi) wants it. I'm in charge here." It was believed that, had a brawl broken out, ex lightweight champion Lew Jenkins (although a Texan) would have been on the side of the press. IMPORTED BY MANGER The altercation at the snowy white chateau, just above Straw berry Creek, was occurring only four hours after the announce ment that Master Sergeant Jen kins on leave from the infantry at Ft. Ord, Calif., had been added to the staff to show Harris just how to throw a night - hand punch. Gore interpreted the Jenkins importation as a reflection on his ability as an instructor. The Jenkins addition was made by Viscusi at the suggestion of Irving B. Kahn, president of the Teleprompter Corp., apparently to neip tne publicity, teleprompter is televising the fight by closed circuit to theaters throughout the United States and Canada, and any good publicity would be wel come. There is tension and bickering and uncertainty here at "Goofy crest by the Springs" where pappa "Big Henry" Harris and brother "Little Henry" from the "big thicket" . Texas backwoods have pitched their cots under the rare Karab trees just outside Roy's handsome white chateau. And it's the screwiest camp since Tommy Farr's "Goofycrest by the Sea" 21 years ago. Bend Snares Finals Opener BEND (AP Bend and Salem American Legion junior baseball teams meet here Tuesday night in what could be the state cham pionship title game. Bend took the first game in the best-of-three series Monday night and now needs a single victory for the championship. It was a 6-0 victory that Bend scored, Eddie Cecil pitching the shutout. He gave up only four hits but issued seven walks. When he was in trouble, though, he took command and fanned nine. Two Salem errors aided Bend in getting off to a lead in the second and this was bolstered with a homer in the fourth by Dick Lenaburg. Salem's first scoring threat came in the fifth. A single and two walks filled the bases, but two strikeouts cleared them. OSAA Official To Lead Clinic A. Oden Hawes, assistant secre tary-treasurer of the Oregon School Activities Association, will conduct a clinic Thursday at 8 p.m. in the new cafeteria at Klamath Un ion High School for all Klamath football coaches and officials.

The coot season of 75 days may be extended to 90 days by those states selecting that length duck season, the bag and posses sion limit for geese is decreased from 6 to 5. The Pacific flyway will again have a 95-day season with these exceptions: Due to a decrease in the brant population, there may be a season of 70 consecutive days which must terminate on or before Jan. 31; There will be a 105-day season on coots and gal linules beginning with the water fowl season. Shooting hours generally will continue to be one half hour before sunrise to sunset in all fly- ways. However, variations may occurr in the Mississippi flyway from slate to state, depending on whether a state selects a closed season on wood ducks or elects to include one wood duck in the daily bag and possession limts. Where hunters are permitted to include one wood duck in their bag and possession limits, the shooting of all species of water fowl and coots must stop one half hour before sunset. Generally, states are again of fered the privilege of selecting split seasons, but those that so elect will be subject to the cus tomary 10 per cent reduction in permissible hunting days. Split I seasons may be of unequal l lengths. U)iih jood ly Clark Good, A total of 58 golfers Qualified for the club championship and the chance to unseat defending cham pion Dick Maries.

TO S-44H Orioles Win Two From NY By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS Now that the big suns of his Chicago White Sox pitching staff have begun to fire, Al Lopez may yet extend his amazing record of never finishing worse than second as a manager. Lopez hasn t much else to shoot lor in his 11th year as a skipper. His usual hopes of swiping the American League pennant from' the New York Yankees were junked long ago, when aces Billy Pierce and Dick Donovan and a trade-bolstered staff misfired. Lopez was last two months ago, seven games shy of second, 14 back of the leading Yankees. Pierce, a 20-game winner in 1956 and 1957, was 4-5. Donovan was 2-7. Now the White Sox have squeezed into a second-place tic with Boston. Donovan has won six in a row and Pierce 8 of 11 in that climb from the cellar. Pierce pulled the White Sox even with Boston last night, winning 3-1 at Cleveland while the Bed Sox lost 6-3 at Washington. It left the White Sox 15 games behind New York, however, despite Balti more's 3-2 and 9-3 sweep over the Yankees in a day-night double- header. Detroit defeated Kansas City 3-2 in the other AL game. In the National League, Pitts burgh gained a share of second and cut Milwaukee's lead to six panics by beating the Braves 6-4. Cincinnati and Philadelphia split in the only other games sched uled. The Redlcgs won 12-11 in the completion of a June 1 sus pended game that went 13 innings. Then the Phils won the regularly scheduled game 5-4 in 10 innings. Sox 3, Tribe 1 Pierce (12-8) gave up seven hits, walked but one and struck out seven. He had a two-hit shutout until the seventh, when ex-teammate Minnie Minoso slammed his 16th home run. Minoso, who also doubled, was the only Injun with an extra-base hit off the little southpaw. Nellix Fox drove in one run for the Sox and scored another with a pair of doubles off Ray Nar leski, now 11-10. Chicago 000 201 0003 5 0' Cleveland 000 000 1001 7 1 Pierce (12-8) and Lollar.

Middlecoff Winsi Sets Tourney High MILWAUKEE (AP)-Cary Mid dlecoff was at a loss today to ex plain his mastery of the back nine at the Tripoli Golf Club, a mas tery that earned him the $5,300 first prize in the $35,000, 72-hole Milwaukee Open Golf 9. The 37-year-old ex-dentist from Memphis, Tenn., who now plays out of Hollywood, Fla., posted a tournament record 16-under-par 264 yesterday. He shot a 35-32-67 in the final round on Tripoli's par 35-35-70 layout, eclipsing by one stroke the tournament standard he shared with Ed Furgol. Middlecoff, in ending a personal 26-month major tournament vic tory drought, played Tripoli's back nine as thoueh he owned it. lie finished 17 under par there, in marked contrast to the front nine where he was one over. 'I can't explain it," he said, except to say I am not a very good starter, usually. They tell me 15 of the 18 birdies I shot dur ing the tourney were on the back nine. "Actually," he added, "there Isn't much difference between the two nines. Normally, I play back nines a little better, than front nines, but the difference here was just unbelievable. "Part of it may be traceable to couple of sad experiences I ve had on this course the last two years. I guess I was just a little bit cautious on the front nine, not wanting them to happen again, and then bpened up on the back nine. It just seemed like it be longed to me." Second place and $3,400 went to Bob Hosburg. Palo Alto. Calif., who scored 266. Bill Casper Jr., Apple Valley, Calif., was third with a 267. He won $2,200. Rnsburg, who was five back of Middlecoff when play started yes terday, caught and passed Casper on the final six holes as he shot 4-under 31 for a 64, best round of the day. Casper shot a 67.
