Asbury Park
Casters Pulling in
Channel Bass
Fishing Club Members Win
Ocean City Trophy for
Second Year

ASBURY PARK, N. j., Aug. 49,
Fish stories have been in order here at
Asbury Park during the last week
There have been long, unwieldy stories
of long, unwieldly fish, and short ones OF
mo luck" but the real fish stories have
been those of medium length-thosC
that had the goods in the form of limp
ocean voysgeurs to illustrate said
stories and give them weight to the ex-
tent Of fifteen to twenty pounds.
Beach fishing had very good week
here along the ocean front. Though
fishing has been a bit backward in this
department so fer this season, high
sea brought in a few of the heavier
channel bass early in the week, and
once the news of a few weighty
catches had travelled over the under
ground railway of the fisherman's para
disc, reels began spinning and surf
casting was on.
The regulars" Of the fishing game
here at Asbury will have the $1,000
Ocean City cup for surf casting to
place on their shelf for another year,
as a result of the scores Of the second
national tourney Of the Association Of
Surf Angling Clubs, held Saturday,
when the Asbury Park Fishing Club
team totalled 200 over the team score
of Ocean City. The match was close
one. for the individual average cast of
the Ocean City team was only about
eight feet less than the average MAIN
tained by the Asbury Park squad.
Charles Elingshausen, a member of
the Asbury Park club, as we'll as the
Midland Beach club. again shattered
the worlds record in his casting for
the former club, hurting a four-ounce
lead 400 feet inches. Later Elingshau-
sen made an unofficial cast of ALI feet.
The record Elingshausen broke was one
he himself had established in last
years tourney, a mark o. 800 feet. A.
J. Sahdala, of the Asbury Park Fishing
Club. first broke Elingshausen's orig
iral record with a cast of 402 feet 9
inches. but Elingshausen came back
during the tournament and stole back
the "title" from his opponent.

During his travel from Metz to the

there had d look at the unfortunate
populations of Alsace-Lorraine, and
this is what he wrote:
III have been extremely happy, before
leaving Germany, TO be able to witness

dear Alsace. All along the road
when they saw our French uniforms,
the women, the children, the old men,
stood erect and either bowed or, when
they were not observed, sent kisses
and threw flowers. We all felt that
they were expecting US, and we who had
never during two or three years
showed the faintcst signs of emotion,
began to cry like children. Il was
magnificent! These few hours were for
MS the ransom of months of misery and
suffering. The same words were on all
our lips: Let us suffer again, let us
die. but do not let cur brethren OF

hope was that some of them would blow
the ship up and the French officers be
killed by French shells.
Nevertheless, we never uttered a
word of protest. We thought that, af-
ter all, it was an honor for us to have
been singled out by the Germans for
such treatment. And we thought also
