We're two disappointed bass fishermen
on their weekend outing to Weverton
and Knoxville, Md: last week. al
| though they had the good fortune TO
/ land twenty small mouth bass in two
days. After water conditions had been
| unfayorable three or four weeks bOtn
! the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers
got better and some of the sportsmen
| who had put away their rods and lines
| took them out and renewed activities
Hurley and Dulin started away Fri
day afternoon fearing the conditions
were too good to last long, and early
| Saturday morning they were on the
river with George w. Leopold.
! EARLY morning fishing was all right"
! said Hurley. but in the afternoon the
| rain came down and threatened to put
an end to our outing. We remained
on the river. however, and when we
of seventeen fish"
| Sunday morning the two sportsmen
were up a daybreah. The downpour
during the night had disheartened them
and when they saw the condition of
| the water they We're about ready to
| give up. They decided to continue their
\ efforts. and soon after breakfast they
| were fishing the holes on the Virginia
1 side of the river.
! And then the hurricane came" said
one of the anglers, land the hail beat
upon US until We were forced to make
| for the Maryland shore.
| The rough and stormy voyage soon
was lompleted and three men congratu-
/ lated themselves that they We're once
more on land.
| In spite of the severe weather. stated
the anglers, three bass were caught
sunday.
| Joseph +. Tisinger, jr., Thomas r.
Fitzgerald Lee B. kistler and Lee
Reeves recently We're proud possessors
of one of the best filled game bags that
/! have been brought to the city from
| short outing this season. They killed
rabbits and birds enough to cover 6oth
sides of their automobile and still be
able to keep out of the clutches of the
! game warden.
..Where did We go?" queried Tisinger.
That's another question. You see. the
game warden was hot on our trail, al
though we had been invited to the
nearby state TO enjoy a couple of days
outing with friends who resided there
But got the game. ne added

The trio left here late one afternoon
and toured to a nearby county or an
adjacent state, going over the rough roads
until they reached the home of their host.
| Their dogs were taken along and 1t soon
was evident that birds and rabbits We're
plentiful, and great sport followed
Then we were told that the game
warden was after. us" one of the gun
ners stated. land we headed homeWard,
I'VE didn't violate the law" he added,
although we thought it well to get out
of the way
Cant. Lee Baumgarten and ". r. Rob-
erts the latter connected with the South
| ern railway, returned home from an out
ling at Aqua creek with good string OF
| fish 1t was fortunate for them that
they had their outing before the appear
| ance of the severe storm along the coast
and the two days they were on the water
were ideal ones for the sport.
| Capt Baumgarten got tired of waiting
| for the upper Potomac TO clear. He IS
especially fond of fishing for small-mouth
| bass but when the gamesters are not to
| be bad, he says, he is not going to de-
prive himself of trips to the river.
| Fishing at Aqua creek ana other places
along the railroad line had been SO good
| that the captain and his friend decided
| to try for few big-mouth pass ana PIKE.
Going some distance from shore ana an
| choring on the fishing grounds. the an
glers son were able to listen to the music
/
| of the reel.
And it is music well worth hearing"
| says the angler.
| Tbirty-two pike and nineteen bass We're
| the result of a days efforts on the part
/ of the pair The largest pike weighed
three and one-half pounds and the larg-
est bass tipped the scales at three and
one-fourth pounds

to his efforts.
| II was early in the morning The gun
! ners had just finished a good country
| breakfast and were on their way to the
/ fields, when something moved in pile
| of brush not far ahead of them.
| Then the something made a quick
| Jump said Barteman, and Brown
/ blazed away.
The next thing / heard was Brown

| and it soon developed that the famiiy
| cat had been slain probably while hunt
! ing BIRDS
| Twenty-nine rabbits. six quail and two
/ squirrels were killed. The absence OF

killing of bag of quail. Many birds
were seen while the two gunners We're
