FISHERMEN ARE BUSY
HOOKING WHITE PERCH
Potomac River Teeming Today
With the Largest Fish.

Every enthusiast who could dodge his
employer, or, if a business man, could
elude his cares, hied himself down to
peaceful Potomac about daylight this
morning, provided himself with bait,
lines, and boat. and went out to take
part in the capture of part OF the great
est run Of white perch known in the his
tory OF Washington.
So many fishermen were out that at
a little after O'Clock few boats could be
hired. Il was estimated by the float
keepers that seven hundred men had
gone out from the landings between the
Monument and the Seventh Street
wharf
The river was so thickIy crowded with
skiffs large vessels could not get
through them. Despite the number of
fishermen all were getting bites" The
catch was large.
Just why the river should be so pack
ed with white perch at this time can
not be explained by the anglers upon
any other basis than that the work of
the Fish Commission is beginning to
show fine results.
Under orders from Commissioner
George NJ. Bowers, millions of eggs of
this species of sea food have been. dur
ing three years. planted in large num-
bers in the Potomac and it's tributaries.
About fifty million more eggs have been
planted so FAR this season. most OF the
work being done at the Havre de Grace
station.
The white perch grows rapidly, at
tanning an eatable size in TWO years.
So there is scarcely any doubt the an
glers are now reaping the harvest sowed
by Commissioner Bowers assistants
The FISH seem TO like particular local
tiles in the river. One of these is just
below Aqueduct Bridge Another favor
ite is above Chain Bridge. while third
is at the Three Sisters
Some OF the early risers returned
to the boathouse back OF the Monument
at o'clock. One man had caught TWEEN
ty-two fish. ranging from six to ten
inches in length, in less than two hours.

BLUE AND GRAY TEAM
LEAVES FOR PRINCETON
Several Changes Made in George
town Lineup.

The Georgetown University students
who were laboring under the mental de-.
fusion that they knew something about
the Blue and Gray baseball aggregation
opened their eyes in surprise when they
saw the squad which will play at
Princeton tomorrow leave the college
campus this afternoon. There were
some new faces among the ranks, and
it was the consensus of opinion that the
Tigers tail would be rudely crimped by
that husky looking set.
The men who composed the squad
were Dorman, shortstop; Morgan, third
base: Bowling. first base; Hart or Ape
rious, catcher: Keane. center field:
Drill. Seitz. and Fay. pitchers; Thomp-
son, right field; Scheller, second base,
and Collins. left field. Coach Jerry
Bredley and Assistant Manager Harry
Carlin accompanied the team. Graduate
Manager NJ. J. Thompson did not go
with the team this afternoon, but there
is a possibility of his going tomorrow
morning.
1t will be noticed that there are sew
eral advisable changes in the lineup of
the Georgetown team. 1t is TO be hoped
Scheller will play better ball at second
than McGettigan. and, although the lat
ter did some good work at times, he was
unreliable and made bad breaks at criti
cal moments. Collins is said to be a
fast fielder, although he just came out
for practice a few days ago. BILL"
Thompson, who has not missed prac-
tice day since the candidates were or
dered out, more than two months ago.
Will be given his first trial tomorrow.
and it is hoped that he will make good.
