SPORTS Solons Point to First Exhibition Game with Hollywood Stars Sunday Sacramento’s Solons, under the masterful direction of Del Baker, are pointing for their first exhibition game Sunday afternoon with the Hollywood Stars in La Palma park. Daily workouts have been lengthened with infield drill and batting practice taking up most of the time. Impressive at the place has been young Bill Wilson, 20 year old Lortg Beach boy who’s been poling some long ones. No starting line-up has been made although Joe Grace has been anchoring down first and Big Jim Taylor appears set at third base. Tabor is in trim shape after working out last winter and bringing his weight down to 190. Skipper Baker has had nineteen year old Dick Myers at second and been giving him a lot of drill. Myers, weighing only 150 has really looked smooth in workouts and fields either to the right or left with ease. Still unheard from are pitcher Ed Smith, infielder and former Philadelphia Phillie, Howie Schultz and outfielder Joe Marty. Marty was the heavy-hitter of last year’s Solon team and wound up the season with a comfortable .318 average. Schultz is reported to be playing professional basketball. The Hollywood Stars whose destinies this year will be guided by Fred Haney has had the Stars High School Swimmers at Compton Today Varsity swimming prospects at Anaheim high school have improved this year with Coach Ralph Kingsbury having four lettermen back and five swimmers from last year’s championship “B” squad on the roster.

This year’s team has Pat Patin league-leading slugger and Jo Bruce, Bob Hilton and Angela Mata from last season’s squad play an adequate supply of infielders outfielders, catchers, managers and batboys—but no pitchers! Try Conversion Outfielders Duane Carter and Bob Hilton and infielder Ronni Lemcki are all trying to convert to moundsmen. Bob Casperson freshman player has also indicated that he’d like to take a crack at the hurling assignment. Rounding out the squad are in fielders Minard Duncan, Kee Reese and Lloyd Trapp; outfielders Cornel Gray, and Floyd Trapp with Steve Holden and Angela Mata ready for behind the plate duty. Dick Davenport is manager. The Colonists will play ten practice games before meeting Santa Ana on April 22 for the season’s opener.

The events are run off in three different classes—according to the size of the school. Anaheim will be competing with the medium-sized class. Colonists are entered in the shuttle relay, the two mile relay and the one mile relay. The shuttle relay is a four man event with each man running 120 yards over five flights of low hurdles. Newport holds the record for this event—setting a 56.9 mark in last year's meet, Dick Carson, Larry Weaver, Bob Mark and Norm Harvey are entered. In the four man, two mile relay it will be Dick Golden, Johnny Hurtado, Bob Mark and Bill Larson wearing the Gold and Blue. They'll be shooting at a 9:4.2 mark set by Fullerton last year. Anaheim placed second in this event. The mile event will have Curtis Meade, Ralph Yung, Dick Carson and Bob Mark running. Colton set a 3:39.7 mark in 48 with the locals running third. Although not in line for a team trophy, the Anaheim trackmen will be competing for medals which are awarded to the first four in each event. A late start in training has hampered the locals and prevented their entering all events.

Steelhead and Salmon Fishing Season Ends One of the poorest steelhead and salmon fishing seasons on record was announced by the State Division of Fish and Game. The season which ended Monday day, February 28, was marred in some instances by too much water and in others, by too little stream water. On coastal streams south of San Francisco, the general complaint by sportsmen was too little water. In the north, heavy rains melting snow, and severe weather cut down the number of good fish ing days.
