% in order to permit pleasure seekers
during tho Decoration day holiday to
make start In advance There are
many persons who will have holiday the
eve OF Decoration day. and they will take
advantage OF it for a days outing.
Tho unfortunate part Of the matter is
that there are no bass worth speaking
OF to catch. Occasionally bass Is
caught in District waters. but so few OF
them are found. anglers say. that the
matter OF having a protecting law Is OF
but little consequences. so Tar as the
actual catching Is concerned.
TT Is a good thing to keep Washington

measure. There are numbers of people
who will go to other places and eaten
bass IL they can bring them into the
city, but knowing there is a local law
against having such fish in possession
they await the opening Of the season.
The question OF the legality OF pass
fishing In the Maryland counties aiong
the Potomac has been discussed at length
by local people recently. Many inquiries
have been made of the maryland author-
ities and the information received was
that protective laws are in force In the
counties.

J. e. Buckingham says rock fishing this
year is better than it has been in a num-
ber of years. He admits there Is not as
much sport catching them as there Is
in bass fishing. but they furnish a good
substitute for the bass and give an an
gler all the sport he can reasonably ex-
pect in this part OF the Potomac.
Il was at Edes' Mil several days ago
making arrangements for a fishing trip,
he said. when Charlie Fletcher came in
with seventy-four as fine rockfish as any
one wants to see. One Of them broke
the ice at seven and three-quarter
pounds, eleven OF them averaged NOR
than six pounds and none weighed less
than one and one-half pounds
Rockflsh and Mississippi catfish are SC

bridges that the fishermen are paying nc
attention to white perch.
George Fletcher has been on the river
every afternoon since the rockfish ap-
peared several weeks ago. and has also
done some early morning fishing. His
home is on the bank of the canal, and
he has but a short distance to go to
reach the places where the fish are
most plentiful.
George is rather modest in his claims,

In favor Of Braddock. and from the way
both teams were playing 1t looked as
though the game would end with that
score. Silver Spring. however. made
three runs In the seventh and two more
in the eighth. With the score 8 to A
aginst them, the Braddocks made their
rally. pushing three over. but fell one
short
The series OF accidents that seem to
come with the improved ball playing had
another addition when Colley. the Brad
dock catcher. was forced to leave the

hand. driving the nail almost out Of sight
and mashing the bone. In spite OF the

intense that the gyme little Tech player
was foroad to gb to the hospital for

PA" Saunders was again tho shining
light upon the Silver Spring infleld. In
the first inning q ball flelded to first from
short was thrown far to the right OF the
bag. but Saunders reached out and pulled
1t In with his bare hand. He landed on
the ball for another triple. his fifth In
three games.
The star play for Braddock was that
made by Handy in the second. With
Clark on first. Larman hit a hard drive
between third and short. Handy rushed
over. scooped in the ball. and while on
the dead run. wheeled and shot 1t to
second without apparently looking for the
bag and nailed Clark. 1t was a rapid
piece OF thinking. and 1t took quick and
accurate throw to make the play.
Both twirlers, Gill and Benten. had a
''lot on the ball. throughout most Of the
game, although both weakened during
the latter part. Each man struck out
ten. and had almost perfect control.
r. Benten made q nice play OF Saun-
ders in the second. He knocked down
the Silver Spring first baseman's hard
drive. fumbled 1t and then shot 1t to first
to get his man by inches.

Fishermen have used so many soft

been not the slightest chance OF quitting
the crab market. The big demand created
by the good fishing. It is stated, en-
ables dealers to keep up the prices.
Until few days ago. IL Is said. crabs
were not big enough for table use. and
dealers asked from 80 cents to 81 - a
dozen for them. Crabs are much larger
and more plentiful than they were last

The shad had not taken the bait, but
had been snagged. Earlier in the season
a shad did take the bait, which came I'm
its way and was caught. Snaggers have
not captured many shad this year. Fish
ernen think there will be a good run OF
