try DrOoK not too near CIVILIZATION anu iu
a cool or temperate climate Is fairly well
stocked with this game fish. Up stream
fishing is the popularmetho among expert
anglers for the reason that the trout usu-
ally lie with their heads up stream and are
consequently less apt TO take the alarm
when approached from the rear.
A very interesting sight and one not Of
ten witnessed is the spectacle afforded by
number Of trout leaping up stream. They
are as Timber and wiry as so many shining
steel springs, and when they come 60 a shall
low rifle or n low dam or fall that bars
their farther progress they take a run and
jump, so TO speak, dart ont Of the water,
and describing a graceful crescent through
the air land several feet farther up the
stream. When a number Of trout are in
dulging i'm these acrobatics, the uninitiated
observer is apt to imagine that they are
playing leap frog.
The salmon trout Is even n more wonder
ful jumper. 10 is said to swim over 20
miles day when going up stream, end a
waterfall u feet high is a futile barrier in
its way. A fair sized Canadian salmon will
weigh 20 pounds and give any fisherman a
battle royal when struck.
The golden trout Is to be found In but
one stream on earth, and that is the creek
which rises among the eternal SHOWS crown
( Ing the summit Of Mount Whitney, the
| California peak that rises 1900 feet above
/ the sea. II is said that a solitary miner,
who had prospected in vain for gold for
| days away back in 1s40, became fish hungry
one Friday, rigged up a crude tackle and
| dropped his hook in Whitney creek. An
instant later trout that seemed fashioned
of the glistening gold he had olong sought
lay at his feet.
1t was very appropriate that golden trout
should fash in the streams of the Golden
State, but for n moment the miner thought
his eyes, so often strained in their quest
for yellow metal, had played him trick
that savored of mockery. Later, however,
he took the goods the gods provided and
had a dinner of golden trout that the gods
themselves would not have despised. The
Whitney creek trout is a veritable fish OF
paradise. His back is golden, red, purple
and brown, and his belly from gills to tail
Is a vivid carmine. The usual length of q
big trout is 8 inches, but some have been
caught that were 16 inches long.

The stiffness of the woods, the deep shade
that falls over some cool bend in the brook
where the trout love to lie, the quiet and
caution that must be exercised lest the wary
fish be suspicious and refuse to rise for the
dy, the sudden jerk that thrills the sports
mans hand and heart alike as the trout darts
away with the delusive bait and the eXcit-
Ing battle that ensues before the slippery
prey is at last safe in the basket are a few
attractive features of sport that numbers
its devotees by tens of thousands.
The speckled trout abounds in the small
streams of the northern and middle parts
Of the United States and in the Canadian
brooks. 1t is very similar to the common
trout Of Europe and is known by several
names and has markings that vary in diff
ferent parts Of North America. But like
the rose, no matter whether it Is known as
the brook trout the Oregon trout, the gold
en- trout of California or by any other name,
It Is as sweet to the palate, as beautiful to
the eye and rs highly priced by the fisher
man There is a great deal said nowadays
about the proper costume for an angler, and
columns are devoted to a description of his
tackle and general equipment A S35 bam-
boo rod, however, is not the distinguishing
mark of true fisherman any more than a
single swallow is an iufallible sign of sum
mer. Nor are corduroy coats, wading boots
that reach far above the knees and Scotch
caps absolutely necessary to the disciples
of Walton who would lure the brook trout
from woodland eddies
Not that good tackle, seasonable bait and
appropriate clothing are to be despised
Expensive tackle, if It is intelligently Sc
lected, is valuable aid; a book of good
flies Is indispensable if the trout are hungry

cepted 16 chances when playing shortstop.
McGraw is particularly well at home as a
shortstop and plays in that position with
the Baltimore club. He was born at Trux-
ton, n. Y, 20 years ago and has been play
ing ball ever since he could swing bat. In
1890 he made his debut as a professional
player with the Olean On. W club of the
New York and Pennsylvania league. The
following year he did such good playing
with the Cedar Rapids team of the Illinois
and Iowa league that the Baltimore club
secured his release. He has been an Oriole
ever since and is considered a very valuable
player.

for such delusiOns; wading boots are Just
the thing if you are not content to angle
from the shaded bank, and a corduroy coat
and Scotch cap are certainly picturesque.
But have landed many pounds Of trout
with a short, jointless bamboo rod, an or
dinary linen line and a dozen or two of
frantically kicking grasshoppers. As for
clothing, dark suit that has long since lost
the Sunday best distinction, an old slouch
or dark straw hat and pair of ordinary
rubber boots will answer very well.
One may catch trout without reel, but
as playing a big speckled beauty is half the
sport to many fishermen reel often adds
much to the excitement. A first class joint
ed lancewood, greenheart or HOLLYWOOD rod
may be bought for SIS, and a capacious fish
basket, silk line, a few split shot, gut
leader or two, a bait box that is strapped to
the body, few extra hooks, a good knife
and dozen flies will swell the necessary
outlay to $50 or $25. Nothing more is real
ly needed. Too many trappings, like hope
deferred, make the heart sick, and fisher

Walton managed to worry along 80 years
without becoming thoroughly weary OF an
Cling.
The proper bait for trout fishing depends
entirely upon the state Of the fnny prey's
palate. Sometimes the most appetizing
looking fly, angleworm or grasshopper will
be of no more use than a bit Of red flannel
before blind frogs nose. One day / came
