Another sport fishing company
reports that l06 rellowtail. two
white sea bass, 81 barracuda and
a Jewish which scaled 147 pounds
were brought in by the Mascot

between Sunday and Thursday OF
this week.
A third company ran up a score
of l73 yellowtail large numbers
of barracuda, some white sea bass
and quantities of bonito for Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of
this week. The company points out
that all of the game fish being
taken are running to large sizes.
Shippers of other live-bait boats
report correspondence good catches.
The most favorable omen of the
week is the reported fact that
yellowfin tuna are heading north
from Lower California waters and
should arrive in San Diego off
shore waters within a short time.
Meanwhile the marlin swordfish
lis expected to appear in increas-
ingly large numbers. This should
guarantee maximum sport for
those who prefer to gun for the
big fellows.

Ell Centre Elks were still
two games away from the
finals of the state Elks
softball tournament Satur-
day after dropping 20
decision to San Diego Elks at Ell
Centre stadium Friday night IN
the first of three-game series.
The San Diego Elks, who de-
feated the valley team in TWO
straight games year ago, con-
tinued to hold their domination
over the Ell Centrans Friday night,
but it was the poor play OF the
Ell Centre lodgemen rather than
sterling play by the coast team
that brought a S. d. victory.
Joe Hurst pitched five hit ball
and might have won had his team
mates played alright ball behind
him. San Diego scored in the third
inning when Galasso houered.
Kline, playing second, muffed a
relayed throw which might have
cut off the score.
Again in the fourth San Diego
scored on a single and two infield
misplays.
Dee Green, San Diego hurler,
turned in his best effort OF the
season in banking the Ell Centrans
with a single hit.
The teams play in San Diego
next week.

BY GEO y. BUCKLIN
Deep-sea fishing in the vicinity
of the Mexican Coronado islands

misses these hot days
Satisfactory quantities of yellow
tail, white sea bass, barracuda and
an occasional swordfish are daily
rewarding sportsmcn who venture
out on the briny.
The following reports taken from
the Logs of some of the leading
sports fishing boats plying out of
San Diego harbor will illustrate
the quality of deep-sea angling
that awaits fishermen who prefer
the tang of salt air in their nos
trils:
Joe Bassinger, who is mentor of
the famous Aztec boats, advises
that 1853 fishermen caught 800
yellowtail, lots of white sea bass
and uncounted numbers of barra-
cuda on his vessels during the
past seven days. Joe also reported
that Caesar Pastore had landed
