WHERE TO FISH

The weekday fishing has been of the
usual poor quality since Monday last,
and but little success has come to any
one who ventured his luck at the
beach resorts
Weather and water have both been
right for fishing for three weeks, but
the fish have not been biting, and at
none of the beaches have the catches
been worthy of notice.
Tide will be high tomorrow at 1928
D. M with a rise of as feet, and low
water comes at SOL p. M, with drop
of &c feet, making favorable current
and good water for fishing from mid
morning to shutdown.
Reports from the various resorts
have not been favorable, but there
must come a change some time, and
tomorrow may be the day when you
will catch more than your share.

Although the Phandball game which
was to be played between Rey Dumb
gan and Lou Guernsey yesterday after
noon was postponed, the large crowd
of spectators who had crowded into
the gallery were not disappointed, for
they had the opportunity. which rarely
is allowed to those outside the club,
that of seeing two of the best players
in Southern California in action. The
announcement that Ray Dunnigan and
Gordo Whalen would play was greeted
with a roar of applause by the boys in
the gallery.
Ray won the game, which was one of
the hardest fought games ever played
in that whitewashed pit, by the score of
q to IA. 1t was somewhat close and
otherwise uncomfortable in the gallery,
because of the hot weather, but this
was forgotten by the enthused specta-
tors. Gordo played a great game, and
in justice to the still undaunted cham
pion may it be said that he was not in
condition, Notwithstanding that Ray
Dunnigan is a wonderful handball
player.
Starting in the game about two years
ago. Dunnigan has been forging stead
lily to the front. beating champion after
champion. playing the game for the
games sake, and even though he occa~
sionally has been defeated he always
took his loss like a winner. Without
doubt, Ray now will challenge Gordo
for the championship of the club, and
when Gordo is ready to name the day
of the game 1t is probable that Ray
will meet a faster and more deter
mined player.
Although it is proper and fitting to
give Welcome the applause due him
for winning a game of handball. just
stop and consider what he beat. Two
men, of course, but who ever said that
Berger or Sam Wood could play hand
ball. Nobody except Sam Wood and

with Billy Henderson regarding a pro-
posed boxing tournament and general
concert to be given in the near future
at Norwalk by the talent of the club.
He said he had a fellow in Norwalk
who he would like to match with Sam
Coulter. He could not remember the
fellows name, except that his middle
name was "Toughy." So, for about
half an hour afterward, all one could
hear was "Toughy." Preliminary ar
rangements were made for the concert,
