WEEKEND
BY GINO SINH

Fishing prospects are excellent
for this weekend.
The warm sun, the calm air
and new moon, an ideal COM
bination for bigger and better
catches.
Last week end the winds chop
ped up the waves making both
the anglers and the fish unWill-
ing.
However, some fine catches
were made though majority
came back slightly better off
than empty-handed.
Frank Del Vecchio, Robert
Brien, Captain Davis and his
son, Johnny, motored down to
Del Vecchio's place at Cobbs Is
land, near Rock Point, and re-

swarmed all through the waters.

miere wrestling impresario, Slip
ped down to Benedict and caught
10 likely looking hardheadS.

.SOX'S MOUND.
SELECTION
UNCERTAIN
BY GARRETT WATERS

CHICAGO, June 27.-The
Philadelphia AS certainly have
gotten the majority of the breaks
so far this season. They got an
other yesterday when the Griff-
men lost to the White Sox while
they idled in Detroit because of
rain.
Had Manager Johnson's men
won yesterday those pesky AS
would have eaten breakfast this
morning with the realization that
they were only a half a game In
the van.
But the Griffmen accommodated
them once again; in fact, threw
themselves for a loss, by letting
the White ,SoX defeat them, 4
to 3, in the opening game of
their series with BuSh'S clan.
Widen Margin
AS result, the percentage
tables this morning read: Phila-
delphia still in first place by a
margin of one and one-half
games, instead of the single-game
margin held after Thursdays
battling.
"WeII be in there trying once
more today" said Manager
Johnson this morning. Eyes,
we lost a grand chance of gain
ing on our rivals again yeSter-
day. But well catch them, If
it takes all summer
Fred Marberry, who hurled
brilliantly to defeat George Uhle
in 10-inning pitching duel last
week at Detroit, will do the
hurting for Johnson today. Vic
Frasier or, maybe, Ted Lyons. will
handle the mound assignment for
the White Sox.
The Sox looked like world
beaters behind the effective pitch
ing of Pat Caraway yesterday.
They batted timely, fielded we'll
and conducted themselves like a
first-division club instead of cellar
champs.
Jump On CrOwder
They jumped on Alvin Crowder,
starting Griff hurler, for a run
in the very first inning on hits
by Reynolds, Fonseca and Kerr'S
opening walk. They increased
this margin to three by scoring
two runs in the third on Blues
double, Reynolds triple and Fon-
seca's fly to West, on which
Reynolds scored after the catch.
Then they drove CrOwder
out of the box in the fifth.
Caraway, first up, tripled to
deep left center. Bluege tossed
out Kerr, Caraway holding
third, but Blue singled to left,
scoring the SOx southpaw, and
this held up proceedings long
enough to allow CrOwder to
walk to the showers and Irving
HadIey to Saunter into the box.
Reynolds forced Blue at second
and Fonseca forced Reynolds at
the same place to end the inning
and the Sox scoring for the day.
In the meanwhile the Griffmen
were finding it very difficult to
connect with Caraway's offerings.
They scored their first run in
the fourth without the semblance
of a hit, while their other two
runs came from the big bat of
Joe Kuhel, who hit home runs in
the seventh and ninth with no
body on base.
The marker in the fourth was
scored in this Manner Manush
walked; so did Cronin, and Har-
ris was hit by a pitched ball,
filling the bases. West popped
to Jeffries but Manush dented
the plate when he ran home
safely after Bluege's high liner to
FonSeca.
