I'VE had no trouble getting all we

John Hurley lost a friendly fishing
contest to Howard Brooks last Sunday
at Enfield, Nd, near Blackistones Is
land.
The two fishermen, who went to En-
field Saturday, got an early start out
on the water Sunday morning They
had pulled in a number of small perch
and trout, when Brooks felt a hard
tug at his line, and almost instantly
his pole about doubled up.

who was doing all he could to keep the
big fellow from getting away. The
fish dove under the boat several times.

Of Brooks rod. The line had also be-
come tangled.
1t was more than half an hour before
the fish, which proved to be a tailor and
tipped the scales at three pounds, was
gotten safely into the boat
Your title is gone" said the boatman
to Hurley. HE is the colonel now, not
you" From that time the title stuck
to Brooks, and he is known now among
the fishermen and fisherwomen in the
vicinity of Enfield as the Colonel"
Not satisfied with his catch of Sun
day, Brooks on trip to the fishing
grounds Monday, landed a four-pound
founder. The fishermen left Enfield
Monday morning and went to Rock
Point. where that afternoon they landed
about twenty-five crocus and perch

Edward Baker, Gus Gibson. Tony

Slayden returned Wednesday from a
fishing trip near Colonial Beach. Talk
about fish," said Gibson; I'VE slaugh-

Each of the fishermen praised highly
the catches which they made near the
river resort, and declared they had
never found a better fishing ground in
the Potomac than they did only a short
distance from the Beach.
