FINE SPORT EXPECTED.
Anglers and Gunners Preparing for
Fall Campaign.

SpOrtsmen who enjoy outdoor amusements
with rod and gun are anticipating some fine
sport this fall The water has been muddy
most all the summer season, but the oats
on the marshes have been growing and will
probably be in fine shape by the time reed
birds and ortolan may be lawfully killed.
Black birds have been feeding on the
marshes about the Potomac and Patuxent
rivers for some days. but the law does not
permit them to be killed until September,
the time for the opening of the reed bird
and ortolan season. Many sportsmen who
have been unable to go a great distance
from the city and catch bass have been
visiting the marshes and viewing the places
where they expect to have some good sport
next month.
There is some satisfaction in looking at
the wild oats from time to time" one of
the sportsmen remarked to Star reporter.
land notice the progress of their growth"
With few warm. sunny days, he said.
the oats will be in prime condition and the
birds will fatten In short while.
While the anglers have been unable to
land bass this season, some of them have
been enjoying angling for other fish. Some
big catches of catfish and eels have been
made along the Potomac in this section.
and down the river in the creeks many
small perch and some green bass have been
caught. On the lower Potomac good sport
has been enjoyed. and at Chesapeake Beach
many good catches have been made. Three
weeks ago long strings of rock were caught
at the Beach, and tailors or bluefish are
now being caught in large numbers. One
angler at the beach two days ago caught
more than fifty tailors. Crabs are also
more plentiful at the salt water resorts
on the Potomac river and Chesapeake bay.
and some anglers who have experienced
poor luck at fishing have taken to catching
crabs.

his team is playing on its home grounds.
Like any other manager, Cantillon goes
into the clubhouse after the game Is over

he commends the men who have done good
