By FRED DOWN

There'll be 26 candles on
Johnny Antonelli's birthday
cake today and the New York

prised if there'll be that many
games In Mis "won" column this
year.
The experts are tabbing the
Giants as also-rans but don't be
surprised if Antonelli has 'em
off and running a la 1954 next
week. He's wiped out the last
lingering doubts over his ability
to recover from his 1955 woes
and once again is being tabbed
as one of the league's top
pitchers.
Antonelli, who was born April
12, 1930, climaxed a brilliant
spring Wednesday with seven
fine innings in a 5-1 triumph
over the Cleveland Indians. The
ne:t time Antonelli toes the
slab probably will be next Tues
day against the Pittsburgh Pi
rates in the Giants' opener.

with a 5-3 verdict over the Chi
cago White Sox.
The Washington Senators made
an auspicious debut before a
home crowd of 6,709 at Griffith
Stadium, Washington, D.C. They
defeated the world champion
Brooklyn Dodgers, 2-1, in a

the game with an inside-the-park
homer off Don Newcombe in the
ninth.

Some Chinooks
Strike at Hooks
On Rogue River
Portland (U.R)' The weekly
report on fishing conditions pre
pared by the . State Game Com
mission: SOUTHWEST: Striped bass
angling is only fair in both
isthmus slough and Coos river.
Perch and flounder fishing has
been good off the dock and high
way bridge at Charleston. Fish
ing for snapper, sea. trout, perch,
and flounder has been excellent
in the cribs in the lower chan
nel of Coos Bay.
The upper Rogue river is in
termittently muddy from snow
runoff which accrues during
heat of the day. A few chinook
are being hooked and a few are
landed in the Grants Pass to Ga
lice section of the river.
So'me good catches of yellow
perch have been taken from Ten-
mile lake. Black bass have been
hitting intermittently on Tahke
nitch and Siltcoos lakes.
Salmon anglers have been
having a slow time throughout
the Umpqua. The river is falling
and is fairly clear though some
of the lower tributaries are
quite roily. Very few fish have
been caught, but some fish are
moving over Winchester dam
every day. Last winter floods
apparently changed the char
acter of several of the more
popular fishing places.
