Smith of the Southern California Roo
and Reel club while at Catalina island
last week. There is a fisherman there
named Charley Fisher, and in many
cases Warren was mistaken for Fisher
1t is said that Fisher is a double to
Smith. Somebody was cruel enough
to spread this report among fisher
mems row in Los Angeles, and as re-
suit Warren has not been visiting MS
daily haunts since he came over from
the island.
Albicore are reported scarce along
the southern California coast and not
a single catch of this fish has been
caught during the past two months.
