MANY BASS CAUGHT.
Anglers frequently "snag" Fifty
Pounds Of Fish In Warm Pools.

Anglers frequently SnaS chty
Pounds Of Fish In Warm Pools.
Bass fishing has been much better during
the past few days than 1t was last fall.
when there was no ice on the river and
when the water was supposed to be at the
proper temperature. An angler who went
on T. river and tried his luck last fall was
satis.-~d with catching dozen small fish
or two or three large ones. Now he Is not
satisfied unless he gets twenty-five or
fifty pounds Of fish, There Is quite a differ
ence between the manner of catching them
now and during the fishing season, however.
Snaggfng is being INDUCED in. and there
are many anglers trying their luck in this
way. Great numbers Of the fish are to be
found at places where waste water from
boilers empties into the river. At point
a short distance south of where the waste
from the Government Hospital for the In
sane empties into the Anacostia river hum
dreds Of the fish are to be seen in the warm
water.
"There are millions of them there ac-
cording to the statement Of an angler who
visited the place yesterday.
One man, who used a line with heavy
sinker and hook attached snagged fully
fifty pounds of the fish. Smaller quantities
were landed by others. The sight of so
many bass in the pool is a novel one and
is well worth trip to the south end of the
railroad trestle.
A bass weighing more than four pounds
was caught near the foot of 9Th street,
where the hot water waste from the power
house of the Capital Traction street railway
empties into the river.

CRITICIsEs SENATOR HANNA.
Rev. Alexander Kent's Discourse on
''We Hold the Ace"

Rev Alexander Kent's sermon at the Peo-
pies Church, sos 9Th street northwest yes
terday morning, consisted largely of a
criticism of Senator Hanna. Business a
game-We hold the Ace was the text of
the discourse. which included a scathing
denunciation of the principles expressed by
| the Ohio senator when he uttered the words
of the text last Tuesday evening.
Referring to Senator Hanna, the preacher
said:
Like Senator Dollfver. he is In the game
of business, internationally, ostensibly for
the United States, but really beyond ques-
ton chiefly for himself He has patriotism
enough to push a scheme in the national
interest If it promises to put few millions
in his own pocket, but he hasn't humanity
enough to consider the bearing of any Amer
lean policy on the future of millions in
other lands.
Nor has he enough faith in the moral
order of the universe to understand that
financial prosperity won at the cost of
justice and humanity is also won at the
cost of the real power and perseverance of
the nation 1 do not mean to imply that
Senator Hanna is alone in this. So far as
l know the whole board of trade and the
entire business community take the same
view of the matter And why shouldn't
nation in its dealings with other nations
to any higher policy than that which they
as individuals or corporations pursue in
their dealings with each other.
IF it is right and honorable. or, leaving
such consideration out of the question, legal
and permissible. for the stronger to crowd
the weaker to the wall and destroy them.
why shouldn't the same rule hold among
nations? He evidently thinks IL does. and
shapes his course accordingly. Senator
Hanna says the menace of today is. the
spread of a spirit of socialism. He then
proceeds to show that he doesn't know any
more about socialism than he does about
poker by s-ying that fairness .andajustice
will never agree to the confscation of the
products OF one mans toll In order TO in
sure comfort to the idle and worthless.

a knockout blow for socialism. is very
good declaration of the socialist faith. and
# Senator Hanna would only stand squarely
by the logic of this statement he would
soon be recognized as worthy comrade

Grant Failed to Throw Parker.

Harvey Parker, the champion weller
weight wrestler Of the world, who was
meeting all corners at Kernan's Lyceum
Theater last week, won the last bout of the
week from Joe Grant Saturday night by
succeeding in keeping the local wrestler
from pinning his shoulders to the mat in
twenty minutes.
Grant made such good showing against
Parker Friday night that he believed he
could secure fall from the champion In
twenty minutes, and Parker agreed to give
him s25 if he secured fall in this time. In
this Grant was unsuccessful. At no time
during the bout was Parker in any danger
and the bout closed with. Grant working tC
secure the fall. Grant and Parker are
about the same weight, and as Grant in the
past two years has improved immensely il
is the wish of many to see these two wrest-
lers meet in an unlimited bout for the
worlds championship.

Pool Champions Disagree.

A special from St. Louis says that a dead
lock exists in the proposed match for the
pool championship of the world between
Alfred De Orc and Grant Eby. Failure to
agree on terms of contest is responsible for
the failure of the men to sign articles. The
rock on which the agreement was wrecked
was the point as to a return match. De
Orc wanted to play for the championship,
either $500 or $1,000 and the championship
medal which is the personal property of
Eby. He insisted upon a 6O0-point match,
with no return challenge for the loser. Eby
insisted that the loser be granted chance
to win back the emblem. as the medal Is
not necessary to the transfer of the title
of pool champion and is his own property,
and as De Orc offers no equivalent in any
form should Eby risk it. the experts think
Eby Is in the right. Eby said that he
thought negotiations were of for good.

EXCITING BASKET BALL.

An unusually interesting game of basket
ball was played Saturday night at the
Young Mems Christian Association gymna-
SUM, between the home team and the
Carroll Institute the association boys win
ming by the score Of n to IL. The CAROLS
have been champions for two years and
the victory of the Y. M. c. A. is the first
achieved over the former in that time. the
galleries were packed In every part and
the many fast and accurate plays brought
out almost continuous applause. Had the
CAROLS won the victory would have given
them the championship, but as 1t Is, hrst
place is still in doubt.
The CAROLS lost the game In the first
half when the score stood Is to 8 In IA
vor of the Y. M. c. A. In the second half
the CAROLS made II points, against
scored by the Association, and so strong
were they playing that the game would
probably have been theirs If 1t had con-
tinued five minutes longer.
In the first half, "Stokey" Thompson
scored the first goal for the Association,
and followed 1t up by sensational throw
made as he lay on the fiat of his back,
where he had fallen in a scrimmage. The
ball landed fairly in the basket
Garner, for the Y. M. c. A., led off with
the first field goal The CAROLS then got
in three free throws in succession. The
Y. M. G. then scored twice, and the Car
rolls four times running. The Assocfa-
ton scored twice again, and the Institute
boys. who were heavier than their oppo-
nents, took another brace which promised
t" land them in the winning column, when
the whistle blew. and the game ended,
with the first victory in two years to the
credit of the Association.
The game was fast from start to finish.
