The honor of clinching the Yanks'-11th pennant in the last 13 years went to Ralph Terry He did it with a four-hitter that made Ralph Houk the first rookie manager in 15 years to win a major league flag. Houk, who succeeded Casey Stengel at the Yankee helm this season, became the first rookie field boss to wjn since Ed Dyer took the- National League pennant with the 1946 St. Louis Car- for 4-0 lead.

The Oriole got to Terry in the sixth inning when consecutive singles by Ron Hansen, Hall and Brook Robinson scored one run. Hall came around from co when Bobby Richardson dropped the ball after Jerry Adair hit into forceout. Detroit Tigers remained well ahead of the Orioles in the battle for second place by beating Los Angeles Angels and southpaw Ted Bowsfield of Pentic-ton, B.C.. 5-3 when Chico Fernandez hit a bases loaded double that featured a four run tie breaking rally in the sev--enth inning. Bowsfield (10-7) was relieved in the seventh inning after pitching to four batters in that frame.

He gave up a total of six runs on six hits, issued three walks and struck out one man. Ray Herbert of Chicago White Sox defeated Boston Red Sox 3-1 with a seven hitter. Bobby Del Greco hit a two run homer in the ninth inning to give Kansas City Athletics a 4-2 win over Cleveland Indians. Minnesota at Washington was rained out. to tie baseball's most prized record under the 154 decision edict of commissioner Ford Fnck.

This catch was made up of approximately 5o0 fprtJsalroon, 478 jack springs, 1,732 coho, 2,977 grilse and some 897 pink salmon. Compared to toe survey carried ouj on August 7, 1960, the fishing effort and salmon caUh showed an increase, however the catch of grilse as down by 60, per cent, undoubtedly reflecting to some extent the increase, in the minimum length sue of grilse which went into effect on August 24, 1960, This Information was obtained from a preliminary tabulation of questionnaires returned from the annual one day survey of tidal sport fishing as conducted in the principal sport fishing areas of southern B.C. Beginning in 1957, these surveys have been carried out In August of each year and are intended to provide a crljsi section of tidal sport fishing effort and catch as it occurs on a typical weekend day during the peak month- of activity.

The weather on Sunday. August 6, could be considered average, even though mid-day winds hampered activity in the more exposed waters of the Strait of Georgia, particularly along the east shoreline of Vancouver Island southward from Campbell River. During the day, resident fishery officers and other departmental personnel distributed 952 questionnaires to sport fishermen within their respective areas. Fishery officers also secured other relevant information including data on effort and catch as provided through the cooperation of boat rental operators. Excellent co-operation vii forthcoming from sport fishermen and over 70 per cent of the questionnaires have been returned up to the time of publication of this information.

An aerial count of sport fishing boats was carried out a i part of this survey, and over 1,900 boats were counted during the course of the first flight which took in the areas of Vancouver-Howe Sound, Victoria, Saanich Inlet, Cowi-chan ami Mill Bay, Nanaimo-Ladysmith, Comox-Courtenay, Campbell River, Pender Harbor and West view. Survey was taken during the period of 6:45 to 11:45 a.m. These counts, as adjusted and augmented by other observations, serve as the general basis for the estimated 3.835 boat trips carried out during the day. Approximately a third of the questionnaires that were Issued and returned were used for the preliminary estimate of effort and catch. These figures are subject to" revision according to the results of the final tabulation of questionnaires that are still being returned by sport fishermen.

Although "tyee" continue to be taken in Alberni Inlet, It was the increasing number of large coho that provided most of the sport fishing activity on the weekend. Pender Harbor and the east shore of Vancouver Island provided the best catch returns, Mr. J. Cooper of Crescent Beach took top honors for the largest coho reported this year by landing a 20 pound, 10 ounce coho at Bates Beach, north of Courtenay. 4-2.
