FISHING IN GLOUCESTER

The unusually good hauls of fish
which have been made by the Glou-
cester fishermen this season-the larg
est for twenty years-recall the in
tcrestinE story recently told In The
Times Dispatch, in which Virginia is
represented as having run Massachu-
sets a. close second in the fishing in
dustry.
This comparison holds good between
Gloucester. Va. and Gloucester, Mass.
Before writing OF the Gloucester fish
cries. the scene of which lies mostly
in MobJack Bay, though it extends far
into the Chesapeake, 1t may be we'll
to tell the great unlearned something
about these waters. In the first place,
Mockjack, not Mobjack. was it's name
in colonial days. so called because of
an echo which the sailors said Knocked
Jack The NIobjnck Is a bay within n
bay; that is to say. 1t is part of
the Chesapeake, overshadowed by it as
quality often Is by quantity.
The very cream OF all the good things
which come out of the Chesapeake are
really gotten from the bIobJack and its
Ave estucries, three OF which make up

are long net wings, projecting from
the pounds. which entice the school

net, and leading to smaller one.
which they enter. finding themselves
in a sort of maze, from which few ever
escape. When the pound is full, the
fisherman enters into the large open
ing in boat and by means of the
ropes and pulley, gradually draws the
net UP until the fish are in a deep
pocket. Then he dips out the shad and
herring with n dip net, the sturgeon
and bonito having first been har-
pooned TO prevent the net from being
broken. The shad and herring are
speedily packed in ice for tho New
York. Philadelphia, Baltimore, Wash
ington and Richmond markets.

Manager Louis Smith. of the

morrow afternoon, when the BAL

Pop" Shriver. the famous old
West Virginia catcher. viii be found
behind the bat. replacing Dawson,
who will fill the bill OF sub-catcher
until his arm gets back into shape
and until he RECEIVERS his batting eye.
shriver, who at present is in the
employ of the Hope Natural Gas
Company, stationed at Wallace, is not
entirely unknown to the followers OF
the baseball game in this city. He
will be remembered as being the
leader of the Wheeling team, in the
Central league, for several seasons
when it was just as easy to win pen
nants as it was for him to eat.
From Wheeling he was sent to the
Pittsburg Nationals, where he
warmed the bench for two seasons
as sub-catcher. but on account of his
advanced age Shriver could not hold
on. and although wanted by many
minor league teams, he gave up the
snort and for the last three years
has been out of the game. When
captain of the West Virginia Univer-
sity team in his palmy days, Jimmy
Archer of the Chicago Nationals had
nothing on shriver as squat throw
or to the bases. This sterling old
man still has much baseball in him
and he is sure to catch on with the
local fans.
Besides the replacing of Dawson
McGraw, second sacker for the To-
Gals, will give way to sackett, who
will be given a try-out at second base
tomorrow. sackett once upon time
set the old New England League OF
fire with his playing and this year
he has been practicing daily, ano
those who have seen him work say
the "old man" has come back" witt
n vengeance.
These two changes in the line-up
have been made by Manager Smith
needing the cries of the fans to
strengthen up and as second and
catcher appeared to be the weakest
spots. smith has tried to NIL the gap
with two new men.

RECIPROCITY
Is from the State Of Virginia
and Not from West
Virginia.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-west vIr-
gInia is being advertised pretty thor
oughly as the breeding place of the
Presidents new riding horse. which
he has named "Reciprocity." and
which is said to be large and power
full enough for the President TO ride.
Investigation, however, shows that
'ReciprdS 4ty" came from Hot Springs
Va, and not from West Virginia, and
while West Virginia is not in the
least injured by being advertised as
the birth place of the Presidents
new mount, and the animal might as
we'll have come from West Virginia,
It must be stated in the interest Of
truthfuIness that it did not.
