'It was like old times" remarked
Patrick Riordan. discussing the return
trip from the Harpers Ferry section,
where many Washington bass anglers
spent the week end.
Because of the long siege of muddy
water and other conditions which made
bass fishing practically impossible, it
is stated, sportsmen were compelled to
remain at home most of the spring
and summer season or enjoy outings
on salt water. Occasionally they were
able to make a flying trip to the upper
river and, it is stated. at times favora-
BILE conditions in the morning were
changed to unfavorable ones before
evening.
But our last week end trip was all
that could be desired said Riordan,
with the single exception of hot
weather, and on the night train a num-
Der of anglers met and discussed their
success"
Accompanying the veteran sports
man were John w. Hurley and Ward
Savage, while two successful and
nichol and William G. Kent, boarded
the train at Point of Rocks and Joined
them.
Hurley led the catch of the three
sportsmen who tried their luck in the
HarperS Ferry section with a tally of
ten gamesters, Riordan being second
with string of half that number.
There was no third" said Hurley.
Savage spent much of the day hold
ing an umbrella to protect himself
from the suns rays, but when he went
home he had fish"

DIR. W. A. Ness. enthusiastic angler
who is fond of surf fishing, has re-
turned from tWo-week vacation
spent on the Jersey coast. Accom-
panied by Charles Woodbury. and his
son Bert, the doctor spent pleasant
time on Shark river where the trio
landed many founders and other fish
that weighed as much as four pounds
each.
At Asbury Park splendid surf fishing
was enjoyed. DR.. Mess and his friends
were guests of A. Fl. Sahdala. a for
mer resident of this city. while at the
resort OF the Jersey coast, ard were
in attendance at the casting tourna-
ment when Sahdaia won the accuracy
prize.
Mr.. Woodbe~ry was host on the oc-
casion of a deep-sea fishing trip fif-
teen miles off shore. Dr. Mess was a
member of the party. and having de-
cided to forget his profession on his
outing, his friend stated, it seemed to
become necessary for him to succumb
to an attack of seasickness and join
other members of the sick party.

played in the two games here. The
team is not hitting timely. and is not
fielding as if it had lot of class. The
Browns, Detroit and New York have
passed the SoX, who are now at the
head of the second division. Rowland
is quoted as saying there still is hope
for his team to win the pennant. He
evidently expects to clean up when he
tackles the Athletics next week. for
there is but little chance of his gaining
a victory while here.
st. Louis and Detroit are tied for
second place. each having percentage
of .541. This was accomplished by the
Detroit winning from the Red Sox and
the Browns putting another crimp into
the Yankees
But the leaders of the race. the Red
Sox. are not apt to lose much sleep,
because they still have a five.anda
half game lead, and are apt to retain
this, Dauss being the only pitcher Jen-
nhgs has capable of giving the SoN a
tussle. Willie Mitchell shut them out
when the Tigers played on their second
trip, but the Carrigans We're not going
as well then as they are now.
st. Louis is not having much trouble
beating the crippled Yankees, whose
pitchers have not shown much of late.
A lively reception was accorded
Wofgang in the sixth inning, when
Foster started with a single, Milan
made a safe bunt and Smith drove
liner right at ]. Collins. Had Smiths
drive gone safe it would have been
good for three bases and both Foster
and Milan would have scored. though
they and Shanks subsequently did
when the Shanks-Judge-M COM
bination made its second trio of con-
secutive singles. Smith was not lucky
in hitting that ball.
That there would be a big difference
in the position of the Griffmen in the
present race if Joe Judge had been
able to go through the entire season
is becoming plain. now that the young
first baseman is back In harness. Judge
is showing himself to- be one of the
have. He is not only playing a splen-
did game at the bag. but he is hitting
timely and clean.
Losing the services of a competent
player like Judge is not an easy mat
ter TO overcome. The Brooklyn Dodg-
ers. for instance, have had their lead
greatly reduced since Jake Daubert
has been disabled. and Manager Robin
son admits that unless he can get a
suitable substitute for Daubert it viii

pennant
Dauberts legs have given away I'M
