Fish Tales

The black bass and pickerel season
opens tomorrow and many anglers
will start early in the morning to
fish their favorite spots. The more
fortunate ones will leave tonight so
as to get / ~ at daylight. AS this
is the time of year when the fish
mate. large catches will be few be-
cause during the mating period the
bass do not care for food, as all their
attention is given to their family
duties. The most alluring bait will
be the live simmer or hillie, and
these had better be obtained at home
if possible, as they are scarce at the
lakes and rivers. Many of the we'll
known bass streams have been stock
ed by the Fish and Game Commits
sion and the wardens have sent in
glowing reports about the bass seen
| along the edges OF the water. 1t Is
unlawful to catch or keep any black
or white bass less than nine inches
in length or to fish between 8 P. M.
and daylight. No license is required
to fish in this state. but the wardeDs
are permitted by law to examine all
fishing baskets.

Assn.
BARRED

For the first time this year the
executive committee of the Perth
Amboy High School Athletic Associa-
ton met yesterday afternoon to take
action in regard to the protest which
the sophomores made. The commit
tee decided that the game which was
protested should remain as played
but that Allen should not be allowed
to participate in any more class base
ball games. This decision was reach
ed because Allen was no senior, hav-
ing already received a graduation
diploma. But since the sophomores
knew that Allen was going to play
and did not play the game under pro-
test, the committee decided to let
the game stand as played.
The next inter-class game will be
played between the sophomores and
juniors Monday afternoon on the
copper works diamond. The correct

SOME FRESH DOPE 49,

Every n interested in baseball is
talking about the game scheduled
for Sunday afternoon when the Mar
ion A. c. and D. S. A. c. will fight
for honors. The Marions are going
to try their best to keep the Danes
where they are while on the other
hand the Danes are out practicing
to avenge themselves for the defeat
given them last year at the hands OF
the same team. Gossip seems to for
shadow the Marions a trife the bet
ter.
For promoting track and field
events the Peerless and Y. NJ. H. A.
clubs of this city hold prominent
places. On Decoration Day morn
ing these clubs are scheduled to meet
on the track at Lewis and Madison
avenues. Both teams are working
hard for this event as much friendly
rivalry exists. Men of good track
and field material are ranked in these
TWO and a lively contest will
ensue. Ritter, the crack miller of
the Peerless. who has been suffering
from a sprained ankle, is again out
and ready for work.
Again the Raritan Bay Dory AS
ISOLATION has entered upon its duties
for this season. This sport was more
than popular last yea and from all
reports the club will make more
elaborate arrangements for the races
to be held this year. 1t is too bad
that a place like Sewaren could not
maintain the dory and enter into the
contests this year. But as one drop
ped out another club, the New York
Fishing Club of Staten Island, forg-
ed ahead, and will race in the place
vacated by the withdrawing of the
Sewaren Yacht Club.
