Bench
Warming
BY BURDETTE KINNE
Post-Press Sports Editor

Every so often the historians get
out their record books and tell of
the athletes OF old who made his
tory at Central high and junior
college. then went further and made
outstanding showings in college.
So today the Bench Warmer
brushed up on the files, picked out
a few names and traced the records
former El Centrans are making in
other institutions of the state.
Selwyn Hartigan, who used to
give pointers to Leroy Kirkpatrick
when he was running for Central
high is captain OF the San Diego
State track team and is one Of the
finest hurdlers in the nation.
Hartigan has chalked up more
points for the Staters than any man
on the team and has Travelled over
the high hurdles in 4.3 seconds. one
tenth over the world record.
Kirkpatrick though ineligible to
run for use. has run some great
races in open events and is still
clipping off the hurdle races in
fast time.
T. S. Walker, VINO first starred in
athletics at Holtville and then
made name for himself at Cen
tral j. c.. is pitching for the San
Diego State baseball team.
Walker has pitched the pennant
bound Aztecs 10 five victories and
has turned in a low hit performance
in every game.
James Gianola, who played loot
ball and broke records on the track
team. is one Of the mainstays on
the San Diego high track team.
Gianola runs the 100. the 220, and
runs on the relay team. He has
placed in the 100 yard dash on sew
eral occasions and has been beaten
but once in the 220. The relay team
of San Diego high has also lost
only once.
Gianola is figured as winner in
the southern California finals in the
go. and the San Diego relay team
is the squad to beat in that event.
Robert Fox football, track and
tennis star at FL Centro high, is
playing second man on the use.

liant tennis and is winning more

period. BOtn OF tneSe premier sports
fishing boats are operated from the
foot of Broadway by the Star and
Crescent Boat Company of San
Diego.
Incidentally, both of these modern
craft are equipped with radiophones.
The innovation permits fishermen
to talk to their families or offices,
although the vessel may be many
miles from shore. A conversation
may be carried on with an individu-
ual in New York City if necessary.
Imagine calling up your wife and
telling her you were bringing fish
home for supper!
Ocean angling in San Diego Off
shore waters, especially in the vi
cinity of the Coronados, has been
climaticallly perfect during the past
Week-that is, with the exception
of one day when the sea was so
temperamental that even the crews
of many fishing boats became i'll.
Owing to the fact that the majority
of the sports fishing boats leave
their docks at 800 am, the wea-
ther is rather chilly until the sun
rises and pierces through the
shrouding fog, common at this time
Of year. Barring the one exception
though, the ocean has been unusual
ly calm.
j.
YelloWtail are running to fair
sizes. A l9-pounder, caught by Leo
nard Lee of Torrance, took the
jackpot last Sunday on the Sea
Angler. However, 10 pounds of
fighting, hungry fish will provide
plenty Of sport for any angler.
Commercial fishermen are bring
| ing in huge catches of yelloWtail
from Mexican waters and report
great schools on their annual mi
gratory journey northward
Tuna, and other varieties of game,
surface feeding fish, that winter off
the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador, and
other tropical waters, have already
reached Central American waters,
closely followed by the tuna clip
per fleet. Within the next two
months, the invasion of big game
will be an established fact off the
California coast. A bluefin, now 5000
miles south, may grace your table
sometime in July. Anyhow, the event
is something to look forward to.

How arc Ell Centre ocean going
! fishermen faring these days? Ask
Ed Hall or Chet Hartigan. They tried
their luck On the Star Angler a
few days ago and accounted for
tWenty-three yelloWtail between
them. F. C. Kinne, also of Ell Cen
tro, annexed thirteen yellowtail
Thursday, just in time for the con-
ventional Friday bill of fare. These
are good records for preseason

AS a matter Of fact, it was Al
Simmons who halted Walker. The
puiSSant Pole. who Is even more
powerful defenSively than he is at

Risked Injury
Simmons turned with the crack

He risked injury, perhaps pernna-
nent injury, but he kept right on
and grabbed the leather just as
he cracked into the barrier.
That was Walkers ony real bid
for a hit. He walked, flied out
and popped out in the three other
trips to the home plate.
The record for consecutive

During the current nome stand
Buddy has been cracking the ball
right on the stitches. He has been
at bat 80 times in the ten games
played against the Bosom Red Sox,
st. Louis Browns, Cleveland In
dams and the Detroit Tigers. He
has made 16 hits for the very nifty
average Of .421.
There is no such thing as play
ing a set defense against Buddy
for he has been hitting to all
fields, and hitting line drives. He
has beaten out drag buntS, and
there is no man in the majors to-
day who excelS Myer In making
this clever sort Of hit. He has
cracked doubles, and he has made
the fences ring under the thunder
strokes Of his triples. He has
driven in runs, and he has set up
runs TO-: the men who follow him.
Praised by DObSon
Hitting as he is hitting now,
Myer is an eye filing player for
critics of the sport. The very
cagy Frank Dobson, coach Of Uni
versity Of Maryland's football
legions, former first baseman OF
the Pittsburgh Pirates and the
Kansas City Blues, said this morn
ing that Myer is in perfect stride,
and hitting in perfect rhythm.
"Myer is hitting with a smooth
swing that is bound to get hits"
Dobson said this morning. "Any
time a good hitter steps into
pitching the way Buddy Is step
ping In to it at this time, he Is
bad news. He looks better to me
than he did two years ago"
A long, long time ago someone
wrote or said that praise from
Caesar is praise indeed, and so let
it be with Myer. When a former
major Lacquer who knows base
ball from Doubleday to Hubbell
sets the seal of approval upon
him, Buddy may be content.
Hit Hard Yesterday
Buddy'S two hits yesterday were
not enough to overcome the craft
and power of the Tigers. but he
set up one run which Johnny
Stone drove home with a single.
Twice Myer got as far as third
base, but there he stood, just 80
short feet from the plate, but a
long, long way from home.
To all things there must be an
end, even to the batting streak of
