Call him over" said Peabody.
Norton had peer strolling about the
lobby, hoping to be noticed. The
fame had lured the moth. and it liked
the name of the smuggling. The con-
gresham hurried precipitately across
at Stevens summons.
"I've been wanting to-speHk-te sHs

good trick he had turned. "but l didn't

"It'll make three hundred thousand

has a little business that l cannot at

work, and a young, hustling lawyer
like you ought to take charge of it
easily. The fee, l should say, would
be about $4,000. Have you the time

The congressman drew a long breath.
His eyes beamed with gratitude.

my duties as a congressman"
Peabody smiled.
'Of course not, Norton. I see that
your sense of humor is improving. If
convenient, run over to New York the
last of the week. I'll give you a card.
My clients office is at 10 Broadway"
The ruler of the senate nodded a curt
dismissal.
"Thank you, senator; thank you very
much" And Norton bowed and left,
rejoicing.
Peabody turned to Stevens.
"You see, even a congressman can
be useful sometimes" remarked Ste
ven dryly.
"Keep your eye on that young man,
Stevens. He's the most valuable con
gresham we've had from your state

''but'-
And, there being a vacancy on the

Stevens. whose dignity was offended
by the reporters interruption, 'the

located and will, like myself, be more
familiar with the availability of the

Haines nodded.

Senator Stevens paused judiciously.
"Well," he said, "Altacoola and Gulf

TUNA CATCH IS
SEASONS RECORD
A. C. BRODE OF LOS ANGELES
Is HOLDER
GAFFs LARGEST BLUE TUNA
SINCE 1906
Local Angler Is Towed to Sea Seven
Miles in Boat Before Game Fish
Is conquered-ReeeiVes
Many Prizes
Especial to The Horald.I

AVALON, Cal, Aug. 19.-Although
so fatigued that he needed assistance
tc get home to his apartments, A. {.
Brode of Los Angeles is today recipi-
ent of many congratulations, for he
has caught the largest blue tuna taken
here since 1906.
For two hours and twenty minutes
he fought the fish, which when brought
to the Tuna club scales tipped the bar
at 126 pounds.
The fish is perfect in color and shape
and will be mounted.
In the battle royal the boat, boat
man and angler were towed distance
Cf seven miles out to sea. The strike
was made off Seal Rocks, but when the
fish was gated the boat was almost out
of sight to those on the island.
A twenty four strand line was used,
and, although Mr.. Brodes avordupoise
doubles that of his fish, he expressed
an opinion that he had done good
half days angling.
Until the catch for the season is out
stripped Mr.. Brode will be the recipient
of the following prizes from the Cata-
lima Tuna club:
Won Hofe prize, Pftger prize, Tuna
club medal.
His name will also be engraved upon
session of the club; Burns Tuna cup
and the Potter Tuna cup.
The rules for catching tuna are:
anglers must bring their fish to tho
gaff unaided.
"The fish must be reeled in, a broken
rod, before or after gaffing, disqualifles
the angler"
The angling population of Avalon is
wild with excitement, as the fish have
been seen quite frequently around Seal
Rocks during the past few days.
Every available fishing launch was
chartered before o'clock this evening
and each angler has requested his boat
man to equip his boat with tuna out
fit
A large number OF boats left for the
grounds late this evening and will
probably be in the water until day
light.
Col. Moorehouse Of Pasadena, hold
er of the worlds record for tuna, was
the first to congratulate Mr.. Brode

A FTER the hysterical denials by the
"a Sacramento outlaws that their
"a men had deserted and would join
the Coasters. the box score of the Sac
ramento- Vernon game played yester-
day at Sacramento is an eye-opener
to those who still believe the asser-
tions of the outlaws that they Will be
flourishing next season. 1t VIII pc seen
when looking over the lineup of the
Hoganites and the Senators that there
are three new names, all of them
formerly found on the payroll of the
state Leaguers. First our vision
lights on the heated cognomen Of
Brick Devereau. who is at present
holding down shortstop with the YER
nonites, after sad and awakening eX-
perience with outlaws. A little farther
down among the Senators, we VIII flnd
the names of Myers and Heister, both
former Sacramento outlaw players
who, it was fatty stated, had recon-
sidered playing with the Coasters.
These three men have sought the light
and have abandoned the outlaws. And
there are dozens of others awaiting the
same opportunity. 'Tis striking DEM
onstration of present conditions among
the state leaguers.
It is a great race nowadays among
the leading teams of the American and
National leagues. In the first OF the
season it looked like breeze In Tor
Detroit and Pittsburg. Today the
Tigers have landed in second place ana
Pittsburg is having the race of its lite'
although a string of victories have
placed the Smoke City men we'll in
the lead. Boston and Detroit are Civ
ing Philadelphia a hard run In the
Americans, and every game is count
ing largely in the seasons total. The
Phillie fans expect their team to WIN
but it means straining baseball If they
expect to stay at the top. Boston IS
making a tremendous finish, and bids
fair to give the others a hard fight
New York is out of the running in the
Americans and in third place in the
Nationals. therefore, the Chicago-New
York rivalry will not be repeated this
year.
The following breezy little letter IS
at hand from Martin Hefron, the Gold
field featherweight who was popular
in Los Angeles by reason of his fight
ing qualities:
"Sporting Editor The Herald: Have
been taking things easy since l left
Los Angeles, but have boxed two light
weights iN che meantime. I beat Gus
Warner in Toledo, Ohio, in six rounds,
and went fifteen rounds to draw with
