SPORTS Gossip About Events of National Importance and the Persons Who Are In the Head
 Liner Glasses.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 2. - The average angler, fishing in the waters about Catilina island off the southern California coast, is synonymous with landing a tuna or some other giant fish as big as the average man. It is the ambition of every fisherman to match his strength, skill and staying powers against one of these monster game fish. so that those who make the trip to the island quite overlook the fact that it's waters abound with smaller fish which, for their size, are endowed with all the necessary quail fications of gameness and fighting ability.
 In this connection the following in terview, coming from Captain K. S. Walker. an old time angler, who is thoroughly familiar with every fishing ground in the locality, is of particu- lar interest to fishermen:
 "One thing that merits more atten- tion than has been paid to 1t is the small fishing about Catilina. The fish now despised will one day be caught and appreciated at their true value once men are taught how to go about getting from them all the sport there is to be had by fine tackle and deli cate methods.
 For example. the blue perch is so plentiful about the island around the reefs and up Ship Rock way particu larly, can be coaxed into taking a fly, and they are strong. lusty little beg gars, with which not all the fun is done when they are dead, for they are very choice in flavor as well as handsome to look upon.
 "The rock bass will eat up most of the plugs used by fresh water bass casters, and are not bit inferior as game fish, pound for pound, when given a chance upon light gear, al lowing them to use their strength to the same advantage without fighting a great sinker.
 "On the silver canyon shore big yellow fins are plentiful and as good surf fishing is to be had there as any one desires.
 "All these things will be developed and brought out fin time. They will add much to the diversifying of the sporting attractions. Not all men care to go out and wrestle all day with big, scaly brutes that come one or two a week; some like a little more action as they go along. The development of the small fishing about Catilina will be of great value because 1t is to be depended upon; the fish always being there, and this is work that seems to be up to the boatmen to undertake, as the Tuna Club stands pretty much committed even by name to the bigger and more sensational game fish.

CLAY MAY
GET OFFICE FOR
PART

Cliff Clay, of Sumter county, the as
sistant commissioner of agriculture,
may be appointed by Governor Harris
tc succeed ]. D. Price as commits
sioner who will resign to accept an
appointment as superintendent of the
experiment station at Griffin.
The following news story tells of
the plan:
ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. Information
received in Atlanta that James D..
Price has been selected by the board of
fifteen having jurisdiction of the state
experiment farm, to succeed Prof. R. J.
H. DeLoach, and that the change in
management of the farm is set for the
first of January.
This means, necessarily, that Mr..
Price will resign as state commission
er of agriculture, which for several
days has been known would be the
case, if the efforts of his friends to
have him succeed Prof. DeLoach
proved successful.
Mr.. Prices expected resignation
will mean the necessity of an appoint
ment by Governor Nat Harris of a
state commissioner of agriculture to
fill the uneXpired term of Mr.. Price,
and to that end things are being done
at this time. Almost Immediately
that it became known Mr. Price was
selected for the experiment farm, and
that he would accept the place, efforts
were begun by the friends of J. J.
Brown, commissioner-elect, to have
him appointed to the unexpired por-
ton of Mr.. Prices term, on the
ground that he will have to take up
the work anq way, and that it might
as well be so arranged that he imme-
diately succeed Mr.. Price.
That this plan will go through,
though, is not accepted here as prob
able. Friends of Cliff C. Clay, the
assistant commissioner of agriculture,
are preparing to urge upon Gov. Har-
ris the appointment of Mr.. Clay to
succeed Mr.. Price, thus permitting him
to complete the present term under
promotion, and at the same time wind
up important work in the department
which Mr. Clay, as assistant, has put
on foot, and which has not yet been
completed
The situation has not been referred
to the governor at all yet, information
having come only today that Mr.. Price
will make the change
