FISHING NOTES By AL BACORE It would be like telling a Halloween ghost story on Christmas eve, to talk about anything but albacore this week. May 24, we had the thrill of the first albacore to be caught this year. June 18 Fred Wayre brought the first albacore into Newport harbor and just last Friday came the news that we can now all "get into the act." Friday morning the St. Louis Junior, out of Port Orange, first radioed the news "albacore aboard." The Joy of Seasport-Port Lido was the first sport-fishing boat into the harbor to prove that the long fins were no rumor this time. Skipper Jack McElwain had 16 aboard. The Valencia III, of Norm's landing brought in the most "albies" that day. They loaded 27 of the prize catches aboard. Saturday practically every boat from the Derby landings went out after long fins, and they proved that the first big schools were really in. Balboa pavilion boats hit 100 per cent. One boat from Newport pier reported 51 landed. Three boats from Kimball's 19th street landing brought in a total of 110. Norm's landing and Port Orange reported a total of 751 albacore. The catch for the day from the Derby landings was 1,172 "chicken of the sea!" Over the weekend the total rose. Dick Hanson and Mary Flynn won a long three set match against Joanne Kellogg and Floyd Baker 4-6, 6-2, 6-4, last night and right to represent the Anahee Recreation department in the National Junior Public Parks Tournis championships at Long Beach from Aug. 5 to Aug. 9.

Some fellows came off the day boats, charter boats and albacore specials with empty gunny sacks and long faces. But there were a lot more with big grins on their faces... long fins in their sacks. The way I figure it, one fellow's chances are as good as another's, so pardon me while I get the sign for the office door. The one that says... "Gone fishin'!" Bill Glynns Goes Up to Cleveland SACRAMENTO. (P) — B.111 Glynn, first baseman and leading hitter of the Sacramento Solons, has been sold to the Cleveland Indians. He will leave the Pacific Coast league and fly east immediately to join the American league competition. In return, the Solons will get an unspecified amount of cash, Cleveland outfielder Dino Restelli and a new first baseman, Ben Taylor of the Detroit Tigers. Olympics Eliminate Basketball Terms HELSINKI (P) — Olympic basketball official scorers have decided to go completely modern. All identifying positions — forwards, center and guards — have been eliminated from the lineups. The way basketball is played, with the center jump eliminated after each basket, and the entire team going down court on the attack, the old distinctions have disappeared. Americans, however, still use the identifications, but Europeans have decided they are meaningless. Three California harness horses were recently exported to Japan. They were the first to go there from the U.S. since 1931.

Walt Dropos Ties Major Hitting Record with 12 Consecutive Hits By RALPH RODEN Associated Press Sports Writer Walt Dropo, the amiable "moose" from Mooseup, Conn., once again is striking fear into the hearts of American League pitchers. Dropo, who has experienced more ups and downs than a roller coaster in his bid for major league stardom, has been the hottest batter in the league since Independence day. The husky first baseman of the Detroit Tigers shunted the pennant races to the sidelines last night by tying a rare major league record—12 consecutive hits. Pinky Higgins set the record in 1938 with the Boston Red Sox and Dropo is the first to equal the mark. Dropo failed to break the record when he fouled out in the seventh inning of the second game of a twi-night doubleheader against the Senators in Washington. The 28-year-old slugger then singled home two runs in the ninth. Doubleheader Looms Between Stars and Padres By The Associated Press A crucial doubleheader tonight between the San Diego Padres and the Hollywood Stars may loosen the knot at the top of the Pacific Coast league. The Padres and the Stars are only a meager two percentage points behind league leading Oakland. The Oaks also will be doubleheading with Seattle, a far less formidable foe than either San Diego anyd Hollywood. If performances the past week are indicative it seems a safe bet to look for a split when the Padres again tangle with the Stars. Until last night, the Padres had piled up a six game winning streak.

Dropo failed to break the record when he fouled out in the seventh inning of the second game of a twi-night doubleheader against the Senatots in Washington. The 28-year-old slugger then singled home two runs in the ninth. DESPIITE DROPO's lusty hitting the tall-end Tigers dropped both ends of the twin-bill to Washington, 8-2, and 9-8. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Indians slashed the Yanks' lead to 2½ games by downing the bombers, 7-3, at the Yankee stadium. The Red Sox took over third place from Chicago by beating the White Sox, 7-5 and the Philadelphia Athletics swept a twi-night twin-bill from St. Louis, '7-6 and 11-3. In the National League, the second place New York Giants climbed to within five games of Brooklyn's pace-setting Dodgers by turning back the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-3. The Dodgers' game with Cincinnati was rained out. In other games, the Philadelphia Phillies trounced Pittsburgh, 10-3, and the Boston Braves snowed under the Chicago Cubs, 10-3, in the majors' only day game. Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians holds a lifetime edge over every American league club except the Yankees. He's beaten them 28 times, lost 33.
