Very few anglers in this city have had
the experience of catching a shad with
hook and line. Such was the experience
Of an angler who was fishing In the
vicinity Of Chain bridge last Sunday. He
was at loss to understand what was on
his hook until a nine-pound shad reached
the surface.
A number Of years ago a hickory shad
was caught at Four.Mile run, and last
summer Mrs Frank p. Hall caught q
herring while fishing for perch. =.

In the Independence League yesterday
with q victory over the Manhattan club
by the score Of to 2. 1t was the first
win for the churchmen this season, the
percentage Of the games before yesterday
being none won and three lost.
Nutwell. who heretofore has been doing
rather Indifferent work in the box, and
who has been ineffective in most Of his
games, worked in great style against
what is probably one OF the best teams
In the league. He struck out eight and
allowed but five hits. and was especially
good in the pinches.

not anywhere near as strong at present
as it will be in a couple of weeks. when

Petworth again gave evidence yester-
day that the other teams in the Suburban
League are not in a class with 1t. AL
most every game that it has played has
been won by it in an easy manner, and
yesterdays contest against the Takoma
crowd wes no exception to the general
rule. The Suburbanites were white
washed to the tune of to o. Unless
the other clubs in the leauge strengthen
their hne-ups before much longer the
Petworth aggregation will have such
commanding lead that 1t will be prac-
hcally impossible for them to catch up.
1t is certain that 1t does not do q
league any too much good to have such

should be done to strengthen the other
clubs before the season is any older.

Anglers are complaining that they are

Three pitchers were employed by the

were garnered by the Christians. Davis
pitched two-thirds Of an inning. but was

nine hits being chalked up OF him In four
innings.

each time he faced the pitcher.
