Fishing Notes
"How's the live-bait?" That question is asked of Newport Harbor landings more than any other. Lots of deep sea fishermen are getting a pleasant surprise, too. Not only has the season been a bit on the evening when he got three for three.
Leon Brinkopf Just a So-So Player for LA
At the start of the Pacific Coast league season Los Angeles Managers Stan Hack was pinning part of his pennant hopes on Leon Brinkopf, third baseman whose 2 homers in 1951 made him one of the club's top batters.
Brinkopf, who went up to the Chicago Cubs this spring but couldn't stick, is in the worst slump of his career. His 186 batting average at the end of last week's play was the Angels' lowest. Hack kept him in the lineup figuring Leon would hit up to his potentialities.
Tuesday night Brinkopf picked a good spot to begin. In the ninth inning against Oakland he tagged one that was labeled homer iron the instant it left his bat. His first of the year. It soared over the left centerfield wall and tied up the game at 4-4.
He was a hero—briefly. In the tenth he dropped Hank Schein sizzling grounder and Johnny Berger sprinted home with the 5-4 decider. Johnny Ostrowski, acquired from Sacramento, made his Oakland debut a joyous one by driving in four runs with a homer and a triple.
AT PORTLAND the sizzling Seattle Rainiers made it 12 wins in a row by trouncing the Beavers 5-1. The Rainiers' streak is the longest of the season in the PCI. But far short of that streak.
Fishing Notes
"How's the live-bait?" That question is asked of Newport Harbor landings more than any other. Lots of deep sea fishermen are getting a pleasant surprise, too. Not only has the season been a bit on the phenomenal side, with all the yellowtail, big barracuda and Spanish mackerel, but the bait situation has undergone a great change.
Today, bait hauling is a large and scientific operation, and the six major landings at Newport, Port Orange, Norin’s landing Seasport, Neyport Pier, Kimballs, and the Balboa Pavilion are enjoying a plentiful live-bait supply. Time was, however, when there was a different story.
Only a few short years ago, the passenger-carrying boats met the bait boats at sea, and the transfer-alf of bait rarely took place closer than Huntington Beach. Hours of the sportfisherman’s time were taken, merely to acquire bait for the day’s fishing.
WITH THE acquisition of bait receivers to store live-bait in the harbor, and the commissioning of more bait-boats, Newport Harbor bait service that is second to none. The sportfisherman can depend on can now boast of maintaining a his bait being obtained during the night, or the day previous to his trip. He knows that when he boards his boat, the bait will already be aboard, allowing him a full day of some of the finest sport-fishing in Southern California. Now in the 17th week of the present season, Newport Harbor Deep Sea Derby Boats have not had a single "baitless day."
Last week, the wind and currents combined to muddy up the water all along the Southland coast, and fishing in general dropped off. At the present, though, the water is clearing, and the fish are still there and hungry.

The afternoon's activities will get under way with Miss Marble working with three local netters who will serve as "guinea pigs" in demonstrating the fundamental strokes as Mis Marble discusses them with the audience. The group observing will then be invited to go over with Miss Marble any difficulties which they may be experiencing in any of their strokes — the volley, the overhead smash, the spin drive.
Concluding the program which is without charge to the spectators, and which is expected to run for several hours, will be an exhibition mixed doubles match in which Miss Marble will team with Glen Lehmner of Anaheim, recent finalist in the men's singles of the Anaheim Closed Tennis tournament, against Mary Flynn, one of Anaheim's outstanding girl stars, and Bob Carlson, president of the Anaheim Tennis club, the winner of the men's singles in the Anaheim tournament.
MISS MARBLE, who was voted one of the 10 outstanding women in the world in 1939, has not come by her plaudits without overcoming many obstacles. The fourth of five children in a relatively poor family, at the age of 20 she was a lumpy, awkward 175 pounder, pronounced tubercular and doubted to a life of semi-invalidism. At the end of six brief years, however, she was tennis champion of the world, one of America's ten Dost Dressed Women, one of the 10 women to make Who's Who, and in the same year had won all six major world tennis championships, a feat which has never been

What's the big idea of DYNAFLOW DRIVE?
Since that time her versatility has been expressed in many fields. She has written an autobiography, "The Road to Wimbledon," is a regular columnist on "The Racquet." has had honorary journalistic degrees conferred upon her by three universities, was the featured vocalist at New York's Waldorf-Astoria, and has had her sports clothes handled as an exclusive line by Sak's Fifth Avenue.

Miss Marble comes to Anaheim under an arrangement handled by Bob Williams' Sporting Goods store, local representative of the Wilson Sporting Goods Company on whose professional panel of experts Miss Marble now serves as tennis specialist. Local people are urged to attend the clinic whether they are actively playing tennis now or not, as the event should prove to be one of great interest from a spectator pont of view.
League selections: catcher Ed Herrera, a senior who batted 269; pitcher Val Wietborn, a junior who had a 3-2 record; outfielder John Steinborn, a senior who batted 169; and third baseman George Bishop, a junior who batted 250.

THERE are all sorts of "drives" and "shifts" on the market.
Some still operate entirely by hand. Some depend on shifting gears, but do this automatically. Some feed the power through oil, but use a lock-out device at cruising speeds.
But we still think that Dynaflow* is the best of all for this simple reason:
The big idea of Dynaflow Drive is to make life easy for the driver.
In traffic, you can start and stop, slow down, accelerate with complete and infinite smoothness — because no gears have to shift, ever, in Dynaflow Drive. So there's no lurch, buck or bobble. Dynaflow always feeds power with a steady, willing swoop—at 3 miles an hour or 30—or as high as it'll.
On hills, you get the same unfaltering power-feed reason. No gears ever shift.
On a long day's drive, you can wonderful freedom from the foot relaxed on the throttle you always drive through.
And at any speed you get ride, in part because Dynaflow provides such a smooth linkage between that might Engine and the rest of the car.
But this is not all. Our service show that Dynaflow also easier for your bank account wear and strain on the engine the cost of clutch repairs, save the transmission and even tires.

LYNX DEFEAT PHOENIX, 1-0
The Buena Park Lynx won a close ball game last night from Phoenix at BP, I to O. Thursday the Buena Parkers entertain Monterey Park, game starting at:8:45 to enable Bobby McDaniels, Lynx catcher, to graduate the kids at Long Beach Jordan, where she is a teacher.
In the game last night, the Lynx scored their winning run in the fourth when Lu Mahoney, Anaheim's contribution to the team, walked. She advanced on Caroline Brody's sacrifice. Bobby McDaniels was out, third to first, but when the first baseman returned the ball to third in the attempt to nip Mahoney she threw wild and the Anaheimer scored.
The three Lynx hits went to Fanny Slappey, Ruth Waldo, and Patty Averett. BP played flawless ball afield.
Marie Rogers, "Miss Softball of '1951," hurled for Phoenix for five innings. She was relieved by March Law. Dotty Wilkenson caught.
Winning pitcher was Bev Meissen with McDaniels receiving.
Doris Ray, Los Angeles art student, left-handed first baseman, has joined the Lynx squad. She played last year with Monrovia.
