MIA Rod and Reel club. will have until
Sunday night to hold the trophy.
George A. Reynolds of Huntington
Beach bids fair to annex the medal.
He told the following story yesterday
to a crowd of unbelievers whom he
had collected about him at the West
ern Hardware and Arms company:
Yesterday L went fishing off the
pier at the local beach. After about
half an hour / attempted to pull in
my line, found that could not bulge
it and thought it had caught on
rock. While trying to figure out some
way to disconnect the line from its
mooring / felt strike. I did not know
what had struck, but presumed 1t to
be big fish.
Handing my rod to one Of the other
boys who were with me 1 undressed,
grabbed stiletto and jumped into
the water. / sank to the bottom, all
the while slashing right and left at
the millions of fish that seemed to
be making at me. When I reached the
bottom l disconnected the line, and
taking 1t between my teeth / swan to
shore. You may imagine my chagrin
was great when l found at the end of
the line a little bit of rock cod that
did not tip the scales at even a half
pound"
After Shaver had related this mar
velous tale E. r. Abbott, secretary of
| the Rod and Reel club, excused him
| self while he turned around to laugh.
Morse asked him to repeat the name
of the fish he caught when the re-
| quest was granted, and coldly walked
| to- the other end of the counter. The
rest of the party stalked coldly out of
the store, while Reynolds moved from
one foot to the other and shouted: Il
have witnesses, too" He then gave

| Secretary Abbott of the Southern
California Rod and Reel club made the
following answer yesterday to a ques-
ton put to him as to the kind of a
time there would be at the barbecue
of the Southern California Rod and
Reel club at Balboa Sunday: "The best
time that any member of the club ever
had before at any previous barbecue in
the history of the club" The principal
event of the day, outside of the BAR
becue itself, will be the casting tour
nament. The record of the club for the
two-hand open casting event is now
| ton Beach, who made the record at the
| 1907 tournament The distance was
149 feet an was figured from an aver
age of five castings. Reynolds will be
on hand to defend his record and will
have many competitors from among
the members of the club. Some of the
