strangely. the Seraphs have the

Last night. for instance. young

seven hits. yet could get only six
off the usually soft Hiram Bithorn.
The Oaks scored a run in the Sc

roy home. and the other in the
eighth when Bill Lyman came in
on Ed Levy's sacrifice fly. The Sc

Late last night, with his goal of

For Victory

Ell Centros All-Star softballers, a
group of athletes who get their
runs in clusters once they decide
TO start rolling. Friday night batted
out a 7-3 victory over Escondido
All-Stars in FL Centre stadium.
In winning. behind the effective
pitching OF Joe the Fox Hurst, the
El Centrans also demonstrated to
Pitchers Dee Green and Joe Fin
ney. who hurl for the San Diego
Elks when they're not playing for
Escondido, just row inefficient they
are without the San Diego lodge
men on hand to field potential
base hits.
Green had defeated El Centre

Elks as team mates, yet in Friday

fective as Pat Tobin would be
against the World Champion Yam
KEGS.

the Ell Centro batters pounced on
Green's offerings for seven hits and
as many runs in the third and
fourth innings.
Then, with comfortable lead,
the All-Stars literally toyed with
the Escodidoans. Joe Hurst re-
Verted to slow ball tossing, while
his fielders, who made five errors
in early innings, came up with every
chance in the last five cantos.
Hurst was the hitting star OF

Another Ex- Chicago Cub
Blossoms Into Ball Star
KirbyHisbe HurIs
Two-Hit Victory
Over Giants

NEW YORK. Aug. y. up -
Noted for making ill-advised deals
the Chicago Cubs won't have to
wait long to sec their latest ma
jor league transaction made them
the champion suckers of the trad
ing league.
Kirby Higbe will see 10 that. The
Cubs sacrificed Higbe on the last
day Of May along with Joe Marty
and cash to get pitcher Claude
Passeau from the Phillies. Doc
Prothro OF the Philies wouldn't
swap Higbe back to the Cubs now
even up for Passeau. The Cubs got
Passeau TO help them win the pen-
nant. Higbe was supposed TO be
too green TO be entrusted with
serious labor. But right now Higbe
is on the border of stardom.
He proved it yesterday when he
pitched the Phillies to a 81 VIC
tory over the Giants al the Polo
Grounds. permitting only two hits.
Off that performance Higbe is very
likely to develop into one of the
National Leagues finest pitchers
next season. He has everything but
control and he's rapidly gaining
that. He walked six men yester-
day, and that cost him a shut
out. He opened the seventh with
two walks. Tom Hafey sacrificed,
and then one of the men he walked
scored on force out. Only two
men reached third on him, one of
them scoring.
Bill Lee scored victory No. IA
when he pitched the Cubs to
3-2 victory over the Pirates. He
allowed only six hits. The Cub
youngsters, Bill Nicholson from
Chattanooga and Bobby Mattick
from Milwaukee. each drove in
run.
The Yanks had one big inning
scoring six runs. to top the Ath-
letics. 9-5. and add half game
to their American League lead,
bringing it up TO six games. Char
ley Keller and Joe DiMaggio led
the Yanks' 13-hit attack with 3
hits each. Lefty Gomez failed to
last but was credited with the vic
tory, his ninth. Frank Hayes hit a
homer with two on for the AS.
Buck Newsom's single in the 9th
enabled the talkative Tiger pitcher
to win his own game over the
Browns. his former club, 4-3. New
som gave up eight hits in out
pitching Bob Harris, former Tiger.

He looks awful, he can't hit,
he can't box, and he isn't any too

Could he prove that Ambers had

Easy, he won the lightweight

pull your ears off, and then hit
you with what they pulled off. But
Ambers won it. He went right from

Good Catches


Deep sea sports anglers have en-
loved excellent yellowtail fishing
during the past week al the Coro-
nado Islands. Best catches nave
been made at the north end OF the
North Island before daylight. Bill
Miller, skipper of the Star An
elere reports that passengers on
his boat caught $50 OF the fork
tails, from Sunday until Thursday
Howard Minor, jr., advises that
Mascot III, likewise rolled up a
large total of yellowtail.
The exciting sport Of catching
yellowtail has been supplemented
bv the annual run OF white sea
bass in San Diego offshore waters.
Literally hundreds OF these finest
OF all pan fish have been taken by
boats operating near the Corona
dos and in the vicinity of the PIT.
Iona kelp beds. One group OF 80
anglers brought in over $50 OF these
pastel shaded beauties in one catch
The fish have scaled up 10 40
pounds in weight.
Commencement of the seasonal
run of yellowfin tuna is expected
momentarily off the Southern Cal
ifornia coast. Several have been
brought TO gaff already IN waters
adjacent to the Mexican Coronados.
Commercial tuna clippers are now
working along the banks of north
ern Lower California, and reports
from the south indicate the tuna
are moving northward in tremen-
dous schools.
Oversize barracuda, bonita and
bass are characteriZing one of the
best seasons ever recorded for these
fish. They are being caught daily,
in huge numbers, near the islands
and at the edge of the Kelp beds.
Live-boat shippers report schools
OF albacore in Point Iona waters
but apparently they are not hungry
as no large catches have been made
Marlin swordfish are being taken
every day now in San Diego and
Catalina offshore waters. Charter
boats are available at the H. 81 M
Sport Fishing Company, both at
the foot of Broadway.
Surf Fishing

provide exciting sport for those who
prefer that kind of angling Best
spots at present are mouth OF the
San Diego river, Torrey Pines
beach. Crown Point. First Cause
way bridge, Mission Bay oyster beds,
Halibut slough and Mission bay.
Croakers, corbina, perch, bass,
founders and halibut are rewarded

Lake Henshaw is providing eX-
ceptionally good sport for fresh
water fishermen. Limits of crappie,
bluegills and catfish are being TAX
en- there daily by coast and valley
