FRESH WATER NEWS

Yesterday the pike and pckerel sea-
son opened in Jersey, and many Penn
sylvania fishermen journeyed to their IA
vorite waters to angle for this most vic
| ious striker. Many of the streams and
ponds in Jersey were stocked last year
with pickerel and excellent results should
| be reported.
Pickerel are best nshed for in the
spring, in shallows later as the waters
warm up, they take to the deeper holes
Strips of salt pork or bacon, spoons, live
or artificial minnows are excellent bats
to use for these fish If the bait is kept
moving. Casts should be made close to
banks and lily pads where the pickerel
are lurking after the unwary sinners
that pass, when Mr.. Pike will dart out
like young submarine, and take tine
bait like a flash
Good fishing for pike and pickere may
be had at the following places in Jersey:
Aldne, reached via Salem. Big Timber
Creek miles from Camden; take trolley
from Kaighn point. Asyla, 13 miles from
city. Atsion, 25 miles, in Mullica River.
Alloway, SO miles, fish in Diamond and
Elkinson's Ponds. Clementon. 10 miles;
Collingswood, miles; Gibbstown, l6
miles; Grenloch, IA miles; Cohansey Creek,
at Greenwich, 40 miles.
Harrisonvlle, which Is only % miles
from the city, is well known for Its eN-
cellent pickerel fishing. Likewise Mag
nolia, Burlington County, has good pick
erel ponds and is 30 miles from the city.
Manumuskin, which is 46 miles, should not
be overlooked. as it has fine pckerel wa
ters from Manumuskin to the Maurice
River. Likewise there are many small
lakes in the vicinity that can be tished.
Vincent Mills, 26 miles, is also a fa-
vorite spot for fishermen, there being good
fishing in the Indian Mills and Burr Mills
streams.
The FISH laws OF New Jersey stpulate
that pike and pickerel must be at least
Il inches long All fish under this size
must be thrown back.
The Pennsylvania Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association has purchased lake
at SwedesbOrough for the exclusive use
of its members. II will be stocked with
bass and pickerel To meet these condi-
tions. the association has rearranged its
system of membership
z. H. Gledhill. of Philadelphia, is one
of the most devoted anglers in the north
western part of the city. Mr. Gledhill
will shortly try his favorite streams and
ponds in South Jersey. where he will FISH
for bass and pckerel Mr., Gledhill ad-
vocates worms as bait and uses them eX-
cIusively, He never returns without
full creel,

SHAWKEY VS. DAUSS
In MACK-TIGER FRAY
Detroit's Star Pitcher Due to
Face Athletics Today After
Yesterdays Lay-off.

DETROIT, May 2l.-The Athletics and
Tigers will meet this afternoon after a
day of rest due to the cold and showers.
The latter would not have been enough
to have postponed yesterdays game. but
Managers Mack and Jennings were no.
willing to take a chance on their players
on such cold day with the field in poor
shape. Double-headers draw we'll in De-
troit, too, and it Is hardly likely that
more than handful of people would have
turned out yesterday.
George Dauss, who has won six games
and lost but one will be Jennings pitcher
today, and the Tigers count 1t as game
already won. Dauss only defeat was at
the hands OF the HIghlanders. who tailed
the four winning runs without the aid of
base hit, and he Is going better than at
any time in his career
Dauss will be ptted against Mack's
most consistent performer In Bob Shaw
key. The latter has been the only twirler
on Comics staff who has been able to
win a game on the Western trip to date,
and he always has been effective against
Cobb and Crawford. When an opposing
pitcher stops this pair his team mates do
not have to bat out many runs, as a rule,
to win from the Tigers.

JOE BIRMINGHAM
RETRES AS LEADER
OF CLEVELAND CLUB
Took Position When Harry
Davis Retired Success
sor Has Not Been Select
ed by the Club Owners.

According to dispatches from Clevelsnd.
Joe Birmingham manager OF the Amer
lean League club of that city. has retired
from service as the Indians helmsman.
Reports differ as to the exact manner
in which Birmingham quit his position.
In some circles in Cleveland It Is said that
somers forced his manager to resign,
while others declare that Birmingham de-
clded to retire Of his own accord.
At any rate. the real reason for Mau-
ager Birmingham's retirement was the
poor showing OF the Indians Ever slnco
Birmingham took hold of the Cleveland
club in the summer of 1912, after Harry
Davis had retired, there has been dissen-
sion in the ranks.
Those in close touch with Cleveland af-
fairs realize that the chief trouble has
been that the owners and directors Of the
club have attempted to run the club both
on and off the field. Time and again play
ers have been suggested BY managers OF
the Cleveland club for purchase. Almost
Invariably these suggestions we're not
looked upon favorably by the owners. 1t
is a known fact that Vesch, now with
Detroit, and Maranville, the speedy short-
fielder of the Boston Nationals, could
have been gotten by the Cleveland man
agement But they were turned down by
the owners only to develop into great
players for some other club.
No successor to Birmingham has yet
been appointed.
