Coarse Fish.

Owing to the increasing demand in
the New York market for suckers. cells
and other fish which are not used as a
food supply here, many tons of these
fish are now taken In nets annually
under permits issued by this Commits
sion, the result being that many Of our
streams are being gradually cleared OF
these flsh which live upon the spawn
and the food supply needed by valushle

Blind Players Show
How TO Shoot Goals

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Jan. 16.-Co-
lumbus has a basketball team
that literally can shoot baskets
with its eyes shut! Fans who've
seen the boys in action say
they're wonders. The little
squad of sightless lads wear the
colors of the Ohio State School
for the Blind.
There's Joe Arndt, of Lima, Ohio,
whirlwind forward; Joe's left
eye has only 5000 normal
vision and his right eye $500
normal vision. Yet Joe, in this
three games he's played this
season, has averaged 1874
baskets a game. B. Mcqueen,
captain and center, has catar-
act on his right eye and his left
eye is 1-25 normal. But he has
wierd, uncanny sense Of
where the basket is and sticks
'em in the pan, one, two, three.
There isn't man on the squad
who can read even poster print.
Totally blind students are the
teams hackers. They can tell
when basket is made and their
roofing would shame college
bunch. Are they winners? The
squad has secured 205 points
thus far this season to its op-
ponents' 6S!

teams are now turning the bank IN
the race which leads to the straight

out promises of the most fascinat-

The holidays generally punctuate
the halfway mark in the many
schedules which arc nightly be-
ing pursued, and with this emphatic
station passed, every team and ev-
ery bowler is looking 70 the final
spurt, which department of the race
is destined to test the true metal
Of the contestants.
For this reason. it is timely to peer
into the condition of the teams as thev
lins up in the present struggles. and
MANY interesting facts are revealed bN
a close perusal of some of the compet-
tfons.
Washincton's largest league. the Ma
sonic twenty-tcam circuit. rightly comes
first in this consideration. and here is a
contest which finds tho first three teams
separated by but ono game each La
faJette, Stansbury. and Columbia nave
aligned themselves at the front IN the
order named and indications arc now
that those three will furnish merry
struggle from now until MAY Is. when
the schedule closes.
By no means is the Washington Con-
tennial 1--WE out of the race. for 1t stands
in the 700 class with the three named
above. and the slightest weakening oS
either of the first three named will hnd
the Centennial lads forging to the front

Neither team was more than three

and the Middies managed to pull VIC

fact that they attained slightly better
success in caging the ball from the foul

was nip and tuck, each being credited
with six goals from the court.
An idea of the closeness OF the COM

first half ended with a count of all.
AS was the case in the first half. each
team got three field goals in the final
