According to advertisements all
summer resorts are alike. They are
the best ever but if fishing is bet
ter anywhere else than it is in Geo.
gian Bay" We do not know where ii is.
There is a greater variety of fish in
this water than anywhere else, and
they are always hungry. No one ever
counted the fish in the Georgian Bay,
but those that have been caught there
have been counted and eaten, and if
you read. the government reports, on
fisheries, you know that Georgian
Bay supplies more fish than any other
equal body OF water in the world.
The only, place you can afford TO fish
is where the fish are numerous, big

place is Georgian Bay-so the fisher

CAIRO 'PABSTS"
WIN SUNDAY GAME
Score Four to Three in Excit-
ing Contest at League Park
Locals Gave Away Game BY Errors
at Crucial Times and Lack of
Hitting in Ninfh.
SCORES oF'THE BIG LEAGUES

The Egyptian Mudslingers ac-
copied the game yesterday afternoon
at Wallace park from the locals on a
tray of errors. II was a case of "give
away" on Paducah's part. but the
fans were not discouraged. It's only
one game, and there are yet many
more to be played before the season
is over.
The Mudslingers arrived in the
early afternoon from Cairo on the
city of Savannah, missing the morn
ing train. Manager Hollan, of the To-
Gals, had advertised the game well,
and thought Cairo was not coming.
He notified his men, however, when
Eddie Powers reported in town. and
fully 400 fans were out to see the
sport.
The game began at 3 O'Clock and
lasted the full nine innings, until
4:4O O'Clock. Not an earned run was
made. but the game was close and
exciting from start to finish. For
the locals good work was done by
Block with the stick and with his
wing and by Bergdoll with his fast
fielding. Hits were scarce on both
sides, but errors plentiful.
