CURBSTONE ANGLER

City College Student Fishes in
a Puddle and Goes to
Court.
JUDGE LAUGHS AT HAZERS

Magistrate Cobb In the Washington
Heights police court ruled yesterday that
not even a college student trying to I'LL
the requirements Of n hazing party can
fish for snow fokes in a puddle within
the city limits.
The sidewalk angler who called forth
this decision was about IS years old. He
was discovered at 2 A. NJ. yesterday by
Policemen lIartwig and Gabel at Seventh
venue and West 12sth street, where he
was casting in the gutter while a crowd
OF 200 fishing enthusiasts hung IN his
every movement. The young man wore a
violently rcd shirt with eleven yards OF
red ribbon wound around his neck rs a
comforter. lie held a fishing pole in his
| right hand. while his left balanced a

On the curbstone where he was sitting
was an open satchel holding the fol-
lowing bait: two candles. two yards Of
rope. a bag Of salt, "A spool OF cotton
and a bottle OF alcohol. Every five min
utes he looked earnestly at the watch
! and then took q shot at the cuspidor.
Whatever he was fishing for wasn't Bit
ing. perhaps because he had his feet in
the pool.
But he was absorbed in his piscatorial
pursuit-so absorbed that when the pO-
licemen inquired his name he couldn't
spare the time TO answer. The po-
licemen meditated on his case for a
| moment Hes "A bug. all right" they
finally decided. So Policeman Gabel
threw his overcoat about the youth. who
WAS as wet as the puddle. and induced
him 10 try his luck at the West 1880
street station house.
There lie continued as talkative as q
fish. until DIR. Gluekstein. summoned
from Harlem Hospital. said II was a
case OF aphasia and recommended the
fishing in the psychJpathic ward al

made the fisherman more moist.

the officials live up to a resolution pass
ed yesterday by the club presidents at
a meeting held at the headquarters of

Alleged unsatisfactory work of the
umpires led to the calling of the meet
ing. In addition, the Boston fans sent
a protest on their own account stating
banished If they raised objections, while

ment. The protest from the Hub was

No. 19-Net Play for Women.

! am opposed to women playing an
exclusively net game. yet | realize the
great value of an ability to go to the
net and volley through a game or two.
l refer to singles; it is absolutely nee
essary to play net In doubles.
1t is foolish for a girl to rush to the
net on her service, because her delivery
is never so severe as to make a care
full return impossible; and IL the striker
can handle the service she will pass
the net player more often than not
l have yet to hnd the woman who Is
fast enough to cover the whole width
of the court against a hard, accurate
driver.
Personally I did not play much at
the net before coming to the United
States-the girls abroad depend upon
hard driving from the base line. / find
knowledge of net play helps my
game. but 1 notice too many girls who
think that they can always play net.
Undoubtedly it is great fun to play net.
but 1t is a dangerous style.
! favor going to the net whom you
have put your opponent into difficulties:
for instance, II you have her running
across the court, chasing your side line
drives, and she Is returning them very
weakly, you can take the net to score.
Or sometimes the opponents play is
hard to handle in the back court be-
cause the ball twists and bounds
strangely: in such case a season at the
net will surely disconcert her. for the
average cutting. chopping game sue
cumbs to the volley. The style is also
useful as a change when you flnd your
drives are not coming off as they
should
When to play net and when to stay
back depends upon circumstances. but
neveE go to the net without a definite
purpose; some players reach the net
simply because they have been told it
is the thing to do-and they lose points.
IL you do play net stand as close to
the net as you can without hitting your
racket over 1t; II the racket crosses
the net on a return the point belongs
to your opponent Being close to the
net makes all of your volleys much
easier and surer than they would be
from midcourt.
A good eye is essential to net play:
watch the opponent and the ball and
be ready for the return-you must not
nap at the net.
