In Houston Were Distorted

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Joe Pc
tritz, publicity director for the ALL
America Conference. says he ex-
poets the amalgamation Of the
A-AC and National Football
League to go through as scheduled.
I've just spoken on the tele-
phone with o. o. Kessing (com-
missioner of the All-America) and
he says his quotes were distorted
in Houston" Petritz said last
night.
"Kessing told me that his Sat-
urday quotes about the confer
ence. we're not dead yet re-
ferred simply to the fact that the
conference ofncially has not closed
its books.
''Kessing said meaning was put
into his words which he did not
intend" Petritz added.

and all of the blinds in the Mag
othy River for the same reason.
1t used to be that the States
bordering the Missouri River were
the notorious States where viola
tions of the no-baiting law were
rampant. We find now that Mary
land is highest on the list, and
the Federal men are attempting
to do something about it. Judg-
ing from what has been happen
ing the past fortnight they are
getting somewhere.
A Federal warden's life is not
an easy one. as every game law
violator's hand and brain is
against him. One Of our friends
remarked that the minute the
Federal man left his home in the
morning the telephone got busy
and people in the community al
most resorted to ringing the
church bells to warn those shoot
ing illegally. The result is that
few individuals are caught.
The warden finds the baited
blind, posts it and closes it for
the season. That helps some. How
ever, if people would only realize
that every game law violator hurts
all the rest of us by what he
does perhaps the warden's lot
might be little easier.
One thing is certain, we'd have
a lot more ducks to hunt and
fewer game hogs spelling our
sport for us. We personally are
convinced that illegal cunning is
doing more to destroy our ducks
than almost any other factor. We
hope the next session
of Congress will see to it that the
Fish and Wildlife Service gets a
better break in the distribution
of duck stamp funds. so it can
make enforcement really effective.

league records were broken, and
four others tied, according to off,
cial records released today. Eight
National League standards were
smashed and q half-dozen tied
Ralph Kiner, Pittsburgh's great
hitter. was the individual stand
out. He did something Babe Ruth
couldn't accomplish by leading his
league in home runs for the fourth
consecutive season. In two OF
those years. 1947 and 1948, he
tied with Johnny Mize Of the New
York Giants.
The other two major league

one In reverse.
Great Year for Kiner
Kiner, who poled 81 home runs
during the 1949 campaign, also
broke two of his own leagues rec
ords and tied another. 1t was the
first time any one hit so or more
homers on two occasions. He also
punched out 16 round-trippers in
one month for the first time In
the history of the circuit.
He tied the mark of hitting 40
or more home runs on three diff
ferent years.
Stan (the NAM Musial and
Red Schoendienst Of the st. Louis
Cardinals each broke a pair OF
records. Musial paced the league
in base hits for the nth year and
in triples for his fourth consecu-
tive season to set new marks.
Schoendienst's records we're In
the fielding department. He had
the longest errorless streak for a
second-baseman, accepting 285
chances without a miscue and fin
ished with the highest fielding
mark in the history Of the league
for a second baseman, 1887.

Market Avenue
Is Turned Down

The Avenue c group of bust
ness men who want the name OF
that street changed to market
Avenue, went down to defeat
again at city council meeting
Tuesday night.
After presenting new petit

only pro member of the council,
included names of 80 percent OF
the property owners along the
street, vote was taken on a mo-

"Wel, guess we'll have to
take it to the courts" said coun-
Gilman Bunch, who contended
that since the new name was
desired by a great majority of the
people down there, it was not de-
mocratic to disregard the petit
ton. The city planning commits
sion had voted to change the or
dinance from Columbia avenue
back to the name Avenue c. But

instructed to stick for Market

BIG WATER IS YET TO COME In 0LUn1BIA RIVER
June 5fh is
Earliest in
Seven Yrs.

Officials and others who
have watched the waters of
the Columbia river through
many years, during which
there have been frequent high
peaks and few devastating
floods, were anything except
optimistic this week over the
prospects of averting disaster
this year.
But that there is a chance Of
escaping damaging high water
was still held to. That much still
depends on the weather the next
two weeks was the phrase that
left doubt in some minds but
hope in others.
One thing the records proved
was that the big water hasn't
come yet. At the Port of Pasco,
where the records of high water
marks are kept, June S was shown
as the earliest date of crest be-
ing reached here i'm the Columbia.
All other years the dates were
later. Last year and the year be-
fore it was June IL.
Scott Rolf, manager of the
port, gave out these figures on
crests in the past seven years:
In 1912, on June II; .1943, on
June 81; 1874, June Is; in 1915,
June 8; 1916, June S; 1947, June
IL; 1913, June IL.
Last years high was 345.20 feet
above sea level. Yesterday it was
1858. This was higher than it
had been all week. Starting Sum
day with 334.5, the river rose
steadily but slowly every day. On
Monday it reached ass Tuesday
$500. Rolf said it was natural
in the past for the river to 60
down some at this time.
The highest yesterday was still
only a little more than nine feet
below the crest of last June IL.
Farther down the Columbia,
flood conditions were just about
Preached because Of more streams
flowing into the section farther
west. Between Kennewick and
Portland, these include the Snake,
the Willamette, the John Day and
others.
It was reported less water was
being let in at Grand Coulee
dam than was being let out. The
amount of water flowing through
the dam yesterday was far below
the maximum amount last year
on June IL, it was said.
Police and flood disaster organ
izations at Portland We're alerted.
In Kennewick and Pasco, steps
were taken to be ready if the wa

bia banks. Most observers said
there was no danger for week or
maybe more. "

Cool Days Ease
Voter Situation

Cool days for Kennewick early
this week meant not only more
comfort but let-up in the water
shortage which struck the city
during The hot spell.
City Superintendent Rector
said the restrictions on using
PIP. & L. water for sprinkling
lawns had been removed temper
arily but he said the ban may
have to be restored il there is
another prolonged hot weather
period. He said persons connect
ed with the Kennewick Irriga-
ton District water system should
continue to use water sparingly
and not for irrigation purposes:
Rector said city officials appre-
ciated the 'fine cooperation" Of
the people of Kennewick during
the hot weather. He said when an
earnest plea was made through
the press to cut down on use OF
water, practically everybody CO.
operated.
