SPORTS Love Life of Soupfin Shark Be-Devils Solons The love life of the soupfin shark is once more be-deviling the California assembly. The Fish and Game Commission admitted it cannot carry out legislators' instructions to bring the fish together. It all started during the January session when Assemblyman Vincent Thomas, San Pedro, told legislators the valuable species is dying out because the male soupfin stays in northern waters and the female never ventures out of southern climes. Keeping the species alive is important, Thomas said, because the soupfin is a source of vitamins needed for American military pilots. The assembly immediately passed a resolution urging the Fish and Game Commission to capture the reluctant males and transport them south for the preservation of the soupfin home. Forced Connubiality "The commission finds the plan not feasible," today's gloomy report stated and continued, "there is no reason to believe that the soupfin shark would react favorably to forced connubiality." The commission points out that A more complete sports coverage will be featured in this paper following the return of Bob Funseth, Gazette city and sports editor from the Long Beach Nava hospital. All local sports enthusiasts are invited to contribute game scores, announcements of coming events and personals to this page of the Anaheim Gazette, 259 East Center street, phone 2206. Flores-Moore Match Friday Sal Flores of Anaheim, popular middle-weight boxer managed by famous Bootin' Ben Agajanian also of this city, will be featured in a four-round bout against the well-known fighter, Dennis Moore tomorrow (Friday) night at 8:30 p.m. in the Hollywood Legion Stadium. Flores rapidly has been gaining notice as a promising young fighter following several lively engagements in this area. Baron Von Stumme of Hollywood wood was matchmaker for tomorrow's fight between the Mexican American boxer and Moore. Also slated on the program is the main 10-round bout with Cowboy Proctor Heinold of Oklahoma vs. Orlando Fernandez of Cuba, feather-weights. the Lions club of that city, won the district student speakers contest. Two orators from northern Orange county competed with two speakers from the southern section of the county. The assembly immediately passed a resolution urging the Fish and Game Commission to capture the reluctant males and transport them south for the preservation of the soupfin home. Forced Connubiality "The commission finds the plan not feasible," today's gloomy report stated and continued, "there is no reason to believe that the soupfin shark would react favorably to forced connubiality." The commission points out that at the time when the male soupfins are available for catching and transportation, the females are already approaching motherhood, indicating there is some movement from home waters by at least one of the species. Defends Bachelorhood In defending the institution of bachelorhood the report states, "as the male segment has completed its conjugal duties, it should be free to maintain its voluntary misogynous existence without the machinations of man." According to the commission, the nets required to catch the fish cost from $6,000 to $7,000 and the fish generally kill themselves while struggling in the nets. Another argument, the fish are large and adequate numbers could not be transported even in the largest tanks. Most important, the commission explains that the fish migrate only according to certain biological factors. If placed in a different environment, it would not allow them to follow their normal habits, it would upset their metabolism and destroy their vitamin content. The assembly has taken no action on the report other than ordering it printed in the daily journal. Work Party at Rifle Range "Twenty crack marksmen and several women rifle enthusiasts pitched in for a constructive work day Sunday at the new rifle range in the city's industrial tract. The civic-minded group completed the west fence and a portion of the east fence encompassing the range. The back-stop construction was also begun. General work-party chairman is Charles Waldo. Hot luncheon, served by the women's rifle team, under the chairmanship of Mrs. S. K. Watters, received a good reception. Morales 'Offy' Places Second Racing honors came to Anaheim again, as the bright-red Offenhauser owned by the three Morales brothers, Al, Gil and Chuck, won second place in the main 40-lap event at the Carrel Speedway, Gardena, Sunday. The race in which the Morales "Offy" competed was recorded in a telecast program. The large brilliant-hued race car, driven by Mark Hellings of Los Angeles, placed among the first in the heat race. A helmet competition was staged also. It seems the red "Offy" was entered in another race against time Saturday evening and early Sunday morning in preparation for the Gardena event. Because her three owners had to work late in their business, the Alex Tamale factory, this city, the Offenhauser's motor was not completely re-assembled until 4 a.m. Sunday. Approximately three weeks ago the local racer won second place in the annual race at the state fair grounds, Phoenix, Arizona.

The bill, introduced by Free county assemblyman Sam Heisler, would allow the fish and ga The civic-minded group completed the west fence and a portion of the east fence encompassing the range. The back-stop construction was also begun. General work-party chairman is Charles Waldo. Hot luncheon, served by the women's rifle team, under the chairmanship of Mrs. S. K. Watters, received a good reception. Firing points on the pistol range for approximately 50 shooters were completed. More rail road ties will be needed to complete the fence around the range which received a city appropriation of $2000 last season from the city council. Mayor Charles Pearson spurred the project forward by procuring fencing material and providing a truck to haul it to the range recently. All shooters (Anaheim boasts some 400) are invited to attend another work-session this Sunday beginning at 9 a.m. bringing a shovel and a rake. Eight Anglers At Palo Verde Cat fish at Palo Verde proved illusive for eight Anaheim fishermen who angled Friday through Sunday at the dam which was swollen with an additional two feet of water. The party included Art Schwarting, Kenny Dougan, Sam Lund, Gene Hyton, Fred Klein, Les King, Gail Vary and Austin Fordyce. Frank Strode of Anaheim, who has been at Palo Verde for two weeks and plans to remain two more weeks, was hailed by the octet. Bituminous coal underlies more than half the state of Illinois. Its coal mining industry is large. Other minerals of the state include petroleum, fluorspar, pig iron and primary zinc. Most unique story of the group of Leavitt Ford players is that of Smiling Bob Muckenthaler who holds the title of manager. Well known in the fields of football and baseball, only this year he added basketball to his sports agenda. From Fullerton Jaysee come five Hornet players, including Larry Strong (G) and Bill Withrow (F), both hailing from Van Nuys high school last year; Denny Dickenson (G) who played on Anaheim high school's C, D and B teams, and Jim Elam (F) and Ronnie Muckenthaler (G), both former AUHS varsity men.

The City League play-offs began early last December. Regional Meet For Lions Clubs Anaheim Lions attended a regional county council meeting Monday night at the Orange American Legion hall. The local delegation was headed by president Leavitt Ford. Owen Richelieu, Fullerton Union high school student, sponsored by Game Refuges Recommended for Migratory Fowl The Assembly Committee on Fish and Game today recommended “do pass” on legislation autorizing establishment of game nuages for migratory waterfowl. The bill, introduced by Freestate county assemblyman Sam Heisinger, would allow the fish and game division to lease private shooting grounds and provide them with sufficient water to attract migrating ducks. All leases would be non-profitable, according to Heisinger, only economical way of providing game refuges. Heisinger said the measure would allow the ducks to remain in California during dry spells and summer seasons, sparing them a “Mexican slaughter” during southern migration. Funds to finance the lease would be provided by hunting cense sales. Request for Out Of-State Doctors Tabled at Session A relaxation of California laws to permit out of state licensed physicians to be employed by mental hospitals was refused by the Senate Business and Provisions Committee today. The measure was asked by Dr. Lawry Kolb, medical director of the mental hospitals, on the ground state mental hospitals are 20 percent understaffed at present. “You are not going to bring a lot of doctors who cannot comply to practice under California laws and permit them to practice on patients in the state mental hospitals,” Senator Nathan F. Cochran of Napa declared. The bill was tabled by the committee on Senator Coombs’ me more complete sports page will be featured in paper following the re-issue of Bob Funseth, Gail City and sports editor, the Long Beach Nava Memorial.

Pat Patterson again will preside. Finned Citizen, To Be Trapped Legislation authorizing the state Fish and Game Division to establish fish traps in an effort to reduce the number of carp in California streams received a "do pass" recommendation today from the assembly committee on fish and game. According to Richard Croker, chief, bureau of marine fisheries, the traps recently developed by the Fish and Game Division will effectively snare only carp. He said this is part of a long range program aimed at eliminating the predatory fish. According to Croker, the trap is so constructed of wire and twine that only carp, who feed vertically, will enter the trap. He said grain or grain products will be used as bait and such bait does not attract other species. L. H.
