Liaht Tackle Enthusiasts

Although organized but thirty days
ago, the West Shore Gun club gives
promise of furnishing excellent sport in
the way of duck shooting during the
coming season. Six large wells, flowing
continuously, have formed several large
ponds on which flocks of teal, mallards
and sprigs may be seen daily. The club
houses are elegantly fitted, and a good
days sport is anticipated for Friday.
Bernard Dyas, George Cline, A. T. Jer-
gins, Howard p. Densel and many 9TH
ers will be on hand Thursday evening.
The club dining room is one of the most
attractive features of the club. Fitted
in good taste, with a large open fire
place and half a dozen windows, the
members may sit down to many a roast
duck dinner during the winter and re-
late tales of the days sport.

Here's a Whopper

Johnny Cline, Harry Cline, Sam
Meyers and II. Curtiss, who have re-
turned from a weeks outing. relate a
marvellous tale which shall be entitled
THE Greedy Trout"
According to the accounts rendered
by the fishermen, Harry Cline threw u
good sized piece of bacon rind into the
stream a short distance from the camp.
Later in the day one of the party took
a nice 12-inch trout from the stream a
short distance from the place where the
piece of bacon rind had been thrown in.
Upon dressing the fish it was found
that the piece Of bacon had been swal-
lowed entire. Every member of the
party vouches for this statement, and
have as evidence the original piece Of
pork.

tige Of a chance. From now on the
struggle will be merely perfunctory, as
Pittsburg has so big a lead that it is
impossible to overtake them. One need
not necessarily consider baseball statis-
ties to figure out why the Pittsburg
club leads the National league and has
won the pennant. The best examples
of inside baseball seen this season have
been put up by the Pirates. Manager
Fred Clarke, a past master at this most
essential quality in baseball, has
proved himself one Of the greatest
leaders in the history of the game.

places Clarke in a position alone as a
baseball leader. The Pirates lead in
club batting, are supreme in fielding
and are far in the lead in the matter
of long hits. Mighty Hans Wagner
though closely pressed by Seymour of
New York, leads the batters of the
league, as usual. Clarke and Leach are
among the ten best sluggers. In the
pitching department the Pittsburgs
also excel. Camnltz, Frock, Willis,

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

When the Polytechnic Rugby squad
appears on the gridiron Saturday aft
ernoon at U. S. C. the supporters on
the bleachers will see the entire team
in new suits. Football and basketball
are receiving wonderfully strong sup
port at the Twentieth street school and
the institution may be proud of the
appearance that her teams make.
Girls basketball begins today at
Polytechnic high. Under the instruc-
ton of Misses Meredith and Gilbert a
large number of girls will appear for
practice. With the last year veterans
of the game, such as Mary Brown. the
girls expect to be we'll represented in
the Girls Basketball league.
When the big tennis tournament is
held at Ojai this season one of the
strongest schools to send representa-
tives will be the Washington street in
stitution.

Fishlnu at Balboa

IF the account of the fishing at Bal
boa may be taken at it's face value,
every angler should hike for this beach
with rod reel and express wagon. The
following is from a Balboa weekly:
80 many yellowtail have been
caught from the wharf lately that we
could not begin to keep track of them.
The water was very clear yesterday
morning and great schools of yellow
tail and mackerel could be seen SWIM
ming idly about beneath the wharf.
"Some extra fine mackerel have been
caught lately; the horse maclkerel being
especially hungry, leaping clear out of
the water after sardines.
"Halibut have been following the
sardlnes, which have been about the
wharf in great schools. Sunday was a
great day for hallbut, and one party
caught seventeen with rod and reel
from the wharf. Bass and rock cod
have also been biting well on live bait.
"Smelt have been very numerous
close inshore and the seiners have been
making some heavy hauls. A few yell
lowfin and surf fish caught with the
smelt have been turned back in the
sea, as it is a violation of the new fish
law to catch these fish in any way ex-
cept with hook and line.

fast one, and neither man had a big
enough shade to be entitled to a. de-
cision.
Norvei Is Winner
Gene Sullivan and Charlie Norvel en-
tered the ring for their ten round semi
windup. Both were trained down into
pretty fighting trim. Sullivan wore a
pair of new dark blue trunks and Char
lie went him one better with pair of
dainty light blue covers. Gene took the
aggressive in the first round, Norvel
dancing away but cleverly blocking.
Charlie backed away under fire in the
next three rounds, and Gene did the
greater part of the leading. The men
clinched frequently and neither hit
hard enough to worry his man. Nor
vel made use of his right cross in the
sixth for the first time, brushing away
Genes leads, and chopping over hard
short punch, which gave him a clear
lead in this round. In the seventh,
Norvel waded in and had Sullivan
worried badly at the bell with his right
crosses. Sullivan could not get under
Norvels guard, and took series of
stiff wallops which found him weak.
Norvel jumped into the center of the
ring in the eighth and took the often
sive for the first time. Gene missed
frequently. Norvel showed Sullivan to
the ropes, and with Gene holding onto
the ring supports, showered punches
to the jaw, sending Sullivan reeling to
ring center, but he could not put him
away. The bell saved Gene from a
serious position.
Norvel knocked Gene down twice in
the ninth with hard right chops, and
the police stopped the bout with both
men in mid-ring. Sullivan was weak
but far from out.
