They were catching them two at a time last week at the Atlantic View pier. Double catches were reported by Bill Fenley, 116 South Fourth street. His catch—a three p-.und POMPANO and a one-pound BLUE on the same double tackle. Steve George. 721 N.

George also had three other BLUES in his string* The manager of Luna pier ups with the fact that 150 BLUES were landed on his quay yesterday. Large catches were made by Clif ton Jones, Gus Worin, and Floyd Cox. A letter from Capt. Victor P. Lance, of Southport, owner of the sport fishing cruiser Moja, tells of a catch of 100 BLUES close to the shoals earlier in the week. The same letter sent the captain’s best to George Canady, secretary treasurer of the fishing club. A second letter trom tne Southport resident tells of a real day’s fishing enjoyed by a party of Fayetteville and tum berton Waltonltes. The party boated 14 large BONITAS, 17 mackerels and one BARr RACUDA. Two big AMBER JACK broke leader wires, the captain reported. The ocean was alive with BONITA, MAC KEREL and FLYING FISH. No Sailfish were sighted, he said (ed’s. note: Wait until the middle of July.) A Topsail DRUM is pictured to the right of the column. It shows G. B. Dunn, 15 S. Fourth street with his 35-pound catch.

Hinkle, local manager of the United States Em ployment service came up with the largest TOAD FISH of the week Seems that Hinkle and his party had run into an evening when the CATFISH were biting and decided to call it a night. Stopping at the drawbridge the party decided to waste an hour or so. Liston King also from the USES, office, tied into a DRUM on the first cast and lost same when the bridge piling fouled the line. About that time Hinkle landed his TOAD FISH and, x-,^rding to the story- the *ir was NOT full of BLUEFISH. Word comes to the column that the second annual meeting of the PORPOISE CLUB will be held in Hanover Inn, Wrightsville Beach, Thursday afternoon, July 4 at 3 o’clock followed by the annual banquet at 7:30 o’clock. The club was organized Aug. 30, 1945. Officers of the organization are Clarence E. Mitchell, presi dent; Mrs. Henry Sherman, vice president; Mrs. Henry Gore, secretary, and Henry Sherman, treasurer. Tom Ames, Wrightsville Beach, and party, caught close to 100 as sorted fish, including a large num ber of BLUES, earlier in the week while fishing from the Mildred M. party boat tied up at the resort. Harris Ligon, local real es tate agent, reports a good catch of AMBER JACK, BONITA and DOLPHIN caught near the lighthouse boat off Southport Friday. He and his party were fishing from Capt. Tom Watts’ party boat "Idle On.” In the party were Willis McMurry, Dr. A. W. McMurry and John McMurry, all of Shelby and Sarah Bell Smith, of Richmond, Va. "TAKE UP FISHING, LADIES,” says John Gwalthmey in the Rich mond Times-Dispatch,' and join your husband as he goes night fishing. Gwalthmey suggests this idea in encouraging sportsmen to increase their creel by doing more fishing at night. To prove the validity of his suggestion, he cites some of the large catches being made at night. One reason for night fishing for rockfish is that these game fish have a definite __ ' f^JUST\\ [LIKE I q ( ALWAYS . ( SAID- . j IT SIEYEP 4 ► PAYS TO LOSE YoUP. ^kead.A habit of feeding at night. The same thing applies to other species of fish which quit feeding in the day light entirely when the nights are bright—nor do they fail to take a bait even when the nights are dark. Another point in favor of night fishing is that anglers may leave town after office hours and fish in the cool of evening. So ladies, if you don’t trust your hus band, take up fishing and join him on those nightly jaunts. Although night fishing is not al lowed in refuges and national ! parks, there is not a state law prohibiting it elsewhere. And the tides of the week: A.M. P.M.

Miss Berg, favoring her left knee, took the lead away from the Geor gian on the 11th and 12th holes, going two-up.

Three Others Pressing Harry Todd Blisters Back Nine To Take Slim Lead In Canadian Open MONTREAL, June 29—Wl— Harry Todd of Dallas, Tex., blazed around the Beaconsfield Club course in a six-under par 66 today to hold a slim one-stroke lead at the 54-hole mark of the Canadian Open golf championship. The lanky Texan clipped one stroke from par on the first nine with a 35 but turned on the steam in the stretch with a sizzling five under par 31 for a 66 and a total of 207. Pressing Todd closely at 208 was a trio headed by Lloyd Mangrum, the slim, dapper U. S. Open champion from Chi cago who also turned in a 35 31—66 today. George Fazio of Los Angeles and Gordon Brydson of Toronto each turn ed in third round 70s to match Mangrum’s 208. Another pair of ranking U. S. pros, E. J (Dutch) Harri son, of Little Rock, Ark., and big Vic Ghezzi of Knoxville, Tenn., were right up in the running with 209s. Harrison, leader at the halfway mark, skidded to an even par 72—not impressive in this field of par busters. Ghezzi, co-runnerup to Mangrum in the U. S. Open, breezed around the course in a snappy 61. The third 66 of the day was turned in by Skip Alexander of Lexington, N. C., who was Van Lingle Mungo Clinton’s Got Him---The Duke Happy BY REESE HART United Press Sports Writer CLINTON, June 29 — (U.R)— Manager Willie Duke, of the Clinton team of the Class D Tobacco State league, beamed today over the fact that he has Van Lingle Mungo, former major league ace, under con tract and said he was expect ing great things from the ex fireballer. “We were real lucky to land Van,” Duke said. “It all came about like this — you see, aft er Van left the Giants back in the spring, he went to his home down at Pageland, S. C. but he was anxious to get a cottage at White Lake and spend the summer there with his wife and children. “I heard about it and got on the phone real quick. Van and I have been friends for years. Since White Lake is only 20 miles from Clinton, Van liked the Idea of playing with us, so he signed right away.” three strokes off the pace with 210. He was tied with Eobby Burns of Burlington, Ont., who fired a 09. Four strokes away from Todd_ at 211, came Stan Leon ard of Vancouver, Ellsworth Vines of Chicago and Ed Fur gol of Pontiac, Mich., a quar tet came in with 212. They were Stan Horne, Ilsemere, Que.; Chandler Harper of Portsmouth, Va.; Dick Metz, Arkansas Cit;. Kans., and Ed Oliver, Chicago. Ky Laffoon, Chicago, had 216. The leading amateur was Nick Wisnock of Toronto, whose par 72 today gave him a 216 total. Frank Sfranahan the Toledo, Ohio, simonpure slipped to a 77 today for 218. Minnesota s Bob Fitch Sets New Discus Record SAN ANTONIO, Tex., June 29— (U.R)—A new world’s record in the discus throw and a stirring 1,500 meter performance by Sweden’s crack distance star, Lennart Strand, highlighted the 58th annual Na tional AAU track and field cham pionships today. Minnesota’s star footballing end, Eiob Fitch, bettered by more than four feet the five-year-old world discus mark of 174 feet 10% inches set by Adolfo Consolini of Italy. <■ Lexington Muni Course Gets PGA Golf Tourney LEXINGTON, June 29.—(/P)—'The first postwar Carolinas PGA an nual championship golf tournament will be held on Lexington Munici pal golf course July 9, 10 and 11, Dugan Aycock, course manager and pro, and former PGA Presi dent, announced today. The event is being jointly spon sored by the Lexington Chamber of Commerce and City Golf Com mission. A purse of $1,000 plus entry fees will be split among the winners, with prizes also offered for participating amateurs in the 72-hole medal play. The 36 holes during the first two days of play will serve as qualify ing rounds for the National PGA championship tournament at Port land Ore., Aycock said. Champion ship play for the Carolinas will be concluded with 36 holes on the final day. An 18-hole pro-amateur tourna ment will be held on the afternoon of Monday, July 8. as a preliminary to the professional event and each pro may select three amateurs. Prizes will be awarded in this event Aycock stated that from 75 to 100 PGA members from North and South Carolina are expected to participate. Mungo is in Pageland today making plans to bring his fam ily to White Lake over tlie week-end. The 220-pound star will join the Clinton team Mon day. “He’s plenty serious about playing with us,” Duke said, “And I’m counting on him to take his regular turn on the mound. He’s in good shape. His arm feels good. You know, he’s been pitching five and six innings three and four times a week with a semi-pro team down at his hometown.” Whether the temperamental Mungo has turned over a new leaf remains to be seen. During his career in the majors, his “badboy” antics became known far and wide. “Van could have signed with two major league clubs when he left the Giants,” Duke added, “but he was sort of fed up with things. He wanted to be with his family, so he returned to his hometown where he’s been since then. His arm appears to be good as new. He doesn’t have the fire and speed that he did when he was with Brook lyn about 10 years ago, but he still has plenty of stuff.” Last season Mungo won 14 and lost 14 for the New York Giants. But during the past spring he didn’t fare so well, both on the mound and with Manager Mel Ott, finally wind ing up with his release. For the husky Mungo his ma jor league playing days may be over. At one time he was the National league’s top pitch er and had a six-figure price tag on him. “He’ll be a big drawing card for us and the whole league,” Duke smiled. “Yes, sir, I fig. ure we’re lucky to sign a star like him.” At the present the Clinton team is out front in the Tobac co State with an average of i .596.
