-J (Ml K LUISETTI OFFERED PHILLIP 0) LERS J UIDflCID ANGLING ACTIVITY Good news to aging anglers is the ruling announced by the Oregon State Game commission that all sportsmen 65 years of age or over, who have been resi dents of the state for 10 years or more, may obtain annual combination hunting and fish ing licenses for SO cents. The new law, however, is open only to those who cannot pay the regular $5 fee. Ap plicants must make an affidavit before the county judge or chair man of the board of county com missioners to that effect. Licenses will not be issued before June 14, when the law becomes effective. Joe Wharton's latest bulletin from the Rogue says that fish ing over there during the past week has been at a minimum, due to a deluge of muddy water coming from Evans creek and Call creek. Placer mining oper ations are responsible. Only two salmon a 25- pounder by Major J. W. Mayben and a 23-pounder by Henry Nei dermeier were reported during all of last week. Both fish were taken from Weasku inn water. The Applegate, which comes in seven miles below Grants Pass, is still pouring in a heavy volume of mud and the Rogue from there is altogether too mud dy, states Joe. Water in most tributaries is low for this season of the year, he continues, and placer operations should soon cease. Indications from Gold Beach are that a good run of salmon is coming in from the sea and as soon as the water clears suf ficiently there will be good fish ing.

Golden Gate Turf Members Pledge $200,000 OAKLAND, Calif., March 26 CAP) The financially. embar rassed Golden Gate Turf club announced through Track Man ager Edward P. "Slip" Madigan Tuesday that its stockholders have pledged $200,000 of the $300,000 needed to satisfy credi tors on April 1. The new $2,000,000 Albany track, which went bankrupt last winter after a discouraging bout with rainy weather and fans who seemed to lack the urge to do any real betting, is in process of financial reorganization nSw so it can obtain new racing dates from the state commission. Although the management must raise an additional $100, 000 within a week, Madigan said "things really look bright."

Dissension Strikes Joe's Fight Family One-half of Managerial Com bine Wants No Part of Simon By SID FEDER NEW YORK, March 26 (IP) Along the grapevine comes a re port all is not flowers and soft music in Joe Louis' happy fight family at the moment, all be cause of Abe Simon. When the one-cighth-of-a-ton stood off Joe for 13 rounds in Detroit last Friday, Promoter Mike Jacobs immediately re matched them for Madison Square garden in May. Now you hear that one of Joe's man agers (name withheld on request from source) is hemming and nawing about the match. The reason and if this doesn't slay you, try a gun is that this particular pilot is "afraid" Joe will chop "our Abe" down in a couDle of minutes the next time, thereby affecting the gate or me DomDers tea party with Billy Conn in June. The way the co-manaffer flpnrp. it nut last Friday's fuss made it look like Conn has a better than fair chance of beating Joe. But if Louis lays Abe low in par the next time, lots of the cash cus tomers may forget all about the Detroit embarrassment nnH Ha. cide to stay away from the Conn bout for fear of what mnv hnn- pen to Billy Boy. However. Joe's other mnnntfpr after us, and we'll be hard to catch. "Jim Gleeson gives me a better punch In my outfield. Floyd Young and Bob Mattick give me the best all-around re serve strength for my infield : that I've ever had. And the 1 way Monte Pearson is pitching I wouldn't be surprised if he was a big winner for us. "And, speaking of pitching, I think from what I've seen so I far that this is the year Johnny Vender Meer will come back. He's close right now to his form of three years ago when he pitched two no-hitters.

U i I j. f " nv ngioi again. Joe never likes to "look bad" against any fighter, and he certainly was no "oomph" guy in there the other night. So he wants another crack at Jimmv j Johnston's gladiator and will ;havc it. For, no matter what they say, Joe is grown up now I and as smart as the next fellow I and his managers know it.
