(AP Wirepho-to) D)W 1 1 1 Manager Joe Aliberti hopes to use Doug Beiner on the mound today. Beiner pitched the Hawks to an 86 win over San Francisco Fire department last week. Beiner is playing for a semi-pro team in the Santa Clara Valley also and may not appear if there is a conflict in the schedules.

He is 'a former-San Jose State pitcher. He spent one season with Wenatchee in the Western International League (Class B) where he both pitched and played the outfield. Last year, for a short while, he pitched for the San Jose Josox. Butch Walters wil Ihandle Beiner's slants behind the plate. Rich Dietz will probably play first and the keystone combination of Chuck Filice and Eddie Destaillats will be back in action after missing last week's action so Destaillats could be married.

Bob Vega will be at third in all probability. The outfield most likely will consist of Joe Aliberti, Al Young, Ron Skillicorn, Don Hogan or Mel Bowen. Gene Vaughn may see action at first or in the field and Higan might play second. If Biener is unable to pitch, Al Young is a likely strater with Destaillats in relief. John Ma-ranta, Bob Wright and Skillicorn will also be on hand if needed as pitchers.

The Hawks scored a ten inning, 16-15 win over the San Bruno Merchants two weeks ago. They have pounded out 24 hits in two games and their fielding has been fair, sloppy at times. As predict ed, pitching is the problem. Santa Cruz will be without the service of Ken Doler, bard hitting outfielder who suffered a fractured ankle in last week's game. At the time of his injury, he had hit safely three times in four trips to the plate.

Six Hawk players have 20 of the hits in the two games. Walters is pacing the attack with five for nine. Hogan, Vega, Aliberti, Bow en and Doler have three each Dietz, Young, Vaughn and Filice have the other hits. If they get by today's opposl tion, next week the Hawks will seek their, fourth win against Jefferson's, the oldest semi-pro baseball team in San Francisco Next week's game will be a con tinuance of a rivalry between the Jeffs team and Santa Cruz nines which dates back to 1924.

Salinas Packers Get New Manager Salinas W. Leo Thomas was replaced as manager of the Salinas Packers of the California League today by Bill Kreuger. business manager of the baseball club. Kreuger took over the job of field manager, in addition to the business ancle, when the club left by bus for Fresno. Chuck Chesholm said Thomas was replaced after three months as manager because of th Packers' financial difficulties.

Thomas' inability to play regularly because of an injury to a nerve in his hip. and because he faces an imnending operation. Chesholm said the club could not afford a nonplaying manager. ing was good enough near traz that a number of local fishermen made the trip. They say the stripers were big, and during some hours the falling was terrific.

This fishing took a rugged boat, and a case hardened stomach, because the water was more often chopped than smooth. And the fishing was no cinch. It required stout rigging, because the gimmick that paid off, was to use a 3 pound sinker, and then fish so close to the bottom that the sinker bounced without losing the whole shebangthat is. Here at home, the fishing for rockfish varieties has been good. Paul Leibbrandt, new skipper of uie atagnaro xno.

louna a lucky rocic ine otner day, and his party Drougnt in exceptionally large catches of all kinds, shapes and colors of codfish. Fishing for lingcod has been good also. Party boats and skiff fishermen have been bringing in their share, with fish in the 17 to 20 pound class being taken. Salmon fishing has been enoueh to drive a fellow crazy. Like at Capitola recently, where fish were biting and limits were the rule.

Tnen thud the bottom fell out Sunday just when several hun dred anglers had gathered to share in the fun. Most fishermen nt early-a very few stayed out moment and those are the boys who murdered 'em. From 3:30 until 4:30 the salmon hit everything in the water, and over 60 fish were taken in this hour. So then what happened? A fellow named George Dymes-sich who lives there, decided to head out in the morning, and pick up an easy limit. He gets skunked.

So then what? So a couple of characters from Kansas who see the ocean for the first rime, and hardly know a lingcod from a rabbit, stumble into a school of feeding fish, and land limits to 20 pounds. So that's the way it goes. Just when a fellow gets up nerve enough to swear off salmon for the season, then zowie, in comes another hot report, and we've got the whole, trying business to do over again.
