Salmon May Gei Past MtNary as Columbia Ebbs

McNARY, Ore. July 13 -B-- The diminishing flow of the Co., lumbia river brought hope today that the bulk of the blueback sal mon run might yet get past McNary dam.
 Thousands of fish, enroute to spawning grounds, have milled be- low the dam in recent days, appar- ently unable to get past the big structure now rising in the Colum- bia. High water knocked out two fishWays. The fish seemed not to use a third, which had been damaged.
 Some fish got upstream, though, as Army Engineers, who are in charge, used scoop to boost fish into the ship lock and from there over the dam.
 Swift water from the spillway ap- parently prevented many blueback from reaching the. point where they could easily enter the ship lock.
 Fish experts, called here to advise on the problem suggested huge dipnet, operated by crane, might be used to catch the blueback and lift them into the ship lock.

Stars Lose
 Moundsnlan To oYankees
By Associated Press

Whatever plans the Hollywood Stars had for winning the Pacific Coast League pennant were ab- breviated somewhat today with the loss of one of their ace moundsmen, Artie Schallock.
 The little southpaw was purchased yesterday by the New York Yankees, who gave up three farm players and an undisclosed amount of cash for his immediate services.
 The loss of Schallock could hard ly have come at a more inopportune time. with the crucial Seattle series impending next week. With Seattle and Hollywood the prospective prime ipals in the pennant drive, the Stars will need all the pitching help they can get.
 For Schallock, the Hollywoods get on option from San Francisco one of the PCL's brighter young mound prospects, Wally Hood. From Oak land, they get veteran catcher Euole Malone outright. And on option from Kansas City comes another pitcher, Arnold Landeck
 The actual purchase was made from Brooklyn which under a work ing agreement to pay Hollywood the draft price of Sl0,000 for Schallock at the end of the season. Schallock leaves the PCL with an Il and D record.
 There were no games last night while the teams travelled.
 Tonight's games include:
 San Francisco at Seattle; Nanny Perez (4-4) vs. Earl Johnson t2-O).
