TWELVE MEDfOHD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, August 13, 1957 SOUTHERN OREGON GOLF TOURNEY INTEREST HIGH DnRT Submarine Tactics Planned By Basilio For Robinson Match Schroeder Winner in Caddy Golf Stewart Schroeder won the Rogue Valley Country club golf caddy championship yesterday. He defeated Phil Mongrain 2 and 1 in finals. Mongrain was medalist with 41 in nine-hole St. Louis Downed As Braves Start With Win Streak to give him a chance to practice prolonged bursts firing against the heavy 100-pound bag. Bosilio used some of those bursts Friday against 165-pound Owens, who was belted back on his heels several times, but never actually hurt by the big 14-ounce training gloves.

KM Auur. By JACK CUDDY Alexandria Bay, N. Y. (in Carmen Basilio.back in the ring after an eight-day boxing layoff, is throwing more right hands than usual and using the lowest bob-weave of his career. The welterweight champion, who might be called a "right-handed southpaw," definitely is preparing a submarine attack to try to win the middleweight title on Sept.

23 from Sugar Ray Rob inson, the tallest opoonent he ev er fought. And apparently that attack will include more right smashes to body and head than he threw in any previous bout. In the past, the left hook has been Basilio's 6-1 weapon. He threw about six lefts to one right. As he resumed sparring Friday, he surprised observers by shooting almost half as many rights as lefts in three bruising rounds with middleweight Lee Owens of Syracuse, N.Y.

He was particularly effective with rights at close quarters. Thirty-year-old Carmen is a southpaw in most respects. He writes left-handed and instinctively picks up objects with his left. However, he has always fought from the right-handed stance, with the left foot forward and he throws a ball with his right. But he never could hit as hard with the right as with the left.

The eight-day boxing layoff was ordered by co-managers Joe Netro and Johnny DeJohn to prevent any possibility of staleness at this early stage of training and PLAY qualifying play. In semi-finals Schroeder won 5 and 4 fromKen Johnson and Mongrain 4 and 2 from Bob Jones. Jack Richardson took first flight honors by bouncing Clay Crowl 4 and 3. In the second flight Clair Crowl subdued Ward Moyer 4 and 3. Third flight was taken by Bill Pfeifer 2 up over Gary Sheldon.

There were 22 caddies enter ed in the one day event. Beavers Ink Ron Bowen Portland "Pi Ron Bowen, 32-ycur-oId lnfleldor who has been plnyliig with the aemi-pro Drain team, today wai signed by tha lant-placa Portland Beavers. Muntigcr Bill Poaedel gaid Bowrm, who clouted a homer for Drain Thursday niyht in a 5-3 loss to Beaverlon, would start at first base tonight. Bowen, a former Franklin high athlete here, has been out of organized baseball since 1952 when he uuffered an injury. He had an outstanding batting rec ord in his five years in organ ized baseball before that, playing in class and A leagues.

Rosi Victor In TV Bout Louisville, Ky. (If) Paola Rosi, the balding but bullish Italian who now calls New York his home, was clamoring for a shot at the lightweight title on the strength of a revenge victory over Baby Vasquez of Mexico. Vasquez scored an upset technical knockout over Rosi last December at but the Italian slugger came back to gain a spit decision in their 10-round rematch Friday night at the Exposition Center. Rosi weighed 136 pounds for the nationally televised bout while Vasquez scaled 135. The voting was close, with judge Walter Beck favoring Rosi, 48-46, and judge Tom Knuckles voting for the Italian, 47-46.

Referee Dan Leslie favored Vasquez, 47-41. Fordomatic and THIS F0 RDSand OAK KNOLL jj PUBLIC COURSE An over subscription of en tries has indicated the highest interest in history in the Southern Oregon Golf championships. The 29th annual tournament at Rogue Valley County club' is scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 28, through Monday, Sept. 2.

Deadline for acceptance of entries is not until this Tuesday noon but already registrations far exceed last year's total playing field. Co-Chairman Jack Mitchell and Ivan Harrington report current entry totals of 213 in the men's division and 70 in the women's competition. In the senior phase of the tournament, an inovation in the Southern Oregon this year, 34 entrants are so far on the books. That's an aggregate of 317. The 1956 overall playing field numbered 272 contestants.

Abandon Limit Original intention was to limit players to 176 men, 64 women and 48 seniors, a 288 overall figure which could be more easily accommodated on the Medford links. Late last week, however, the committeemen abandoned these plans. It was decided to continue accepting out-of-town entrants through the Aug. 20 noon closing time. At the same time players have the understanding that those who qualify in the same of the higher flights may have to play one or two match rounds at the Oak Knoll links at Ashland.

All qualifying, nevertheless, will be over the Rogue Valley fairways. Arrangements have been completed for the possible Oak Knoll play. The entry list may swell considerably by Tuesday, although a number of dropouts may occur. Carole Kabler Defends Only one of the 1956 champions will be back for a title defense. She is Carole Jo Kabler, Sutherlin, one of the top young amateurs in the nation and and reigning Pacific Northwest Golf association titlist.

Rod Fun-seth, who took the Southern Oregon men's toga last year, is in eligible now for RVCC Labor Day holiday amateur classic. He has turned pro and is an assistant at Broadmoor club, Seattle. One of the latest entries in the tourney, however, is that of Lynn Creason, Harrisburg, 1956 runner up for the crown. Creason, one of the leading amateurs on the Atlantic coast, sent his entry in from Fort, Calif. There will be three former men's champs in the SO field.

They are Bob Atkinson, Colum-bia-Edgewater, Portland, winner three of the four times he has entered, Eddie Simmons, six times victor, and George Harrington, Phoenix, former manager of RVCC. Feminine entrants include two past champions from Medford, Mrs. Helen Davies, seven times winner, and Sue DeVoe who last week defeated Mrs. Davies for the Rogue Valley club championship. Qualifying began yesterday for RVCC men and women who are not trying for championship flights.

Budget Plan mm SF Mayor Asks Giants Move Plans San Francisco Mayor George Christopher of San Francisco has asked President Horace Stoneham of the New York Giants for a "forthright statement" on the Giants' future plans. Christopher wrote a letter last week asking Stoneham to ex pedite negotiations so the transfer of the National League baseball club can be "wrapped up next week." Stoneham already has arranged to put San Francisco's proposition before his board of directors on Monday. Christopher said he is eager to have the deal settled so he can "divulge our negotiations" and draft the necessary documents.

Chica- Pollution Blocks Fish Release at Eastm ore land Portland Anglers who yearn for the presence of the prize of all steelhead the big summer fish in rivers adjacent to Portland and the lower Willamette are going to have to wait a few years. At least they will have to wait until further reduction of Willamette river pollution comes about.

So said Dr. John Rayner, chief of fisheries for the Oregon game commission, who v. recently ordered part of this year's steel-head release destined for Crystal Springs creek at Eastmore-land to be planted in the Sandy rivervafter an oxygen block was found in the Willamette. Water Samples Steelhead and salmon require about eight parts of oxygen for every million parts of water in order to have successful egg incubation. The adults and downstream migrant fingerlings should have five parts per million in order for them to survive.

Water samples taken in the lower Willamette on July 5, 1957, showed only 1.2 parts per million at the bridge in Portland. The game commission has been stocking summer steelhead fingerlings in Crystal Springs creek near Milwaukie for the past three years in an effort to "et a good run started there egg taking purposes. From eggs it was hoped that runs of these fine fish could started in the Clackamas, LiOlalla, and other lower Willamette valley streams. The program has been jolted by continued summer oxygen deficiency in the lower Willamette. MONTH ONLY ON ALL SV1EKCURYS CAROLE JO KABLER Defends SO Crown day, Aug.
