To a large extent this is true

He retired from singles this year and

= INCE Grove shut out the
Yankees, questions are being
asked about the record Of the
AS veteran southpaw against
the world champions.
The notion that Grove never had
been very effective against the Yanks
already has been exploded. And
when he blanked them Grove reg
istered the seventeenth victory of
his career against the New Workers,
as compared with II defeats since
1925.
This is a pretty fair record, con-
sidering that the Yankees have been
out of the first division class only
once during the time Grove has
been working against them.
The Grove VS.. Ruth rivalry fur.
nishes another angle for debate.

Marlin swordfish, one of the
mightiest and gamest of all game
fish, but today had taken two on

a party of friends.
Before he left San Pedro, the
former President predicted he
would have better luck in his
guest for the sporty Marlin than
on his recent fruitless trips off
Catalina, and he has made good
on his prediction in a big way.
William L. Honnold, mining en-

fish, while Arthur M. Hyde, for

Hole, a fisherman of renown
and host to the party, so far has

as he in bygone years has landed
several, including a 500-pounder.
Fine weather and excellent fish
