have voted for tho war resolution, but
against II without his belated pro-
posal.
Necessity for cooperative military
action of the allies was the principal
reason advanced in debate for imme-
date passage of the Austrian resolu-
ton. Senator Stone said that Amor

forces through extension Of the west
ern front to Italy by the interallied

H. COVELESKIE HAS
THE MACKMEN'S GOAT

Connie Mack Is probably thanking
his stars that there is but one Harry
Coveleskie in the American League.
II every club had Harry COveleskie
the Athletics would fall through the
bottom of the league and sink into
oblivion. because "Covey' has their
goat tied up in a sack.
Since the beginning OF the 1915 sea-
son Coveleskie has pitched eight
games against the Mackmen and won
every one OF them. He has been the
mosI successful OF all Detroit hurlers
against Connie Mack's team and one
Of the most successful pitchers in the
league against the Philadelphia club.
Mack's batsmen have brought grief
TO a number Of crack pitchers in Ban
Johnson's circuit this season. for they
have a habit of going of on a batting
rampage every so often, and they
generally manage TO start hitting the
bali all over the park when some
crack pitcher is pitted against them.

CHAPPY AND HORNSBY
SETTING FAST PACE

Ray Chapman, of the Cleveland In
dians. and Roger Hornsby, of the
Cardinals, are setting the pace for the
shortstops in the two major leagues
this season in slugging, stealing bases
and scoring runs. On top of this. both
players are putting up a wonderful
game ip the field, and both rank with
the best hitters in their respective
leagues. .-
Chapman, up to mid-season, staged
a hot race with Bobbie Roth, one of
his teammates, for the base-steal-
ing honors in the American League.
while Hornsby ranks among the ten
leaders in thieving bases in the
mother circuit.
In the matter of slugging the ball
Hornsby ranks in the select set with
Cravath, Cruise, Wheat and Roush,
while Chapman has been holding his
own among the leading slugsters in
the American League. The mid-sea-
son averages showed Chapman fifth
among the run-getters of his league,
with Hornsby topped by Burns and
Paskert in the National.

HBrah, the river is beginning to be
itself again. And 50 are the fish.
The first six straight clear days we
have had in long time filled the
hearts Of local fishermen with as much
Joy almost as an American victory In
France.
All week the fishermen crawled out
of their hiding places like so many
groundhogs and made their way 10
the river bank, just like they were
used to II. Even the crabs crawled
back to Chesa peake Beach and crab
bing parties thought something had
gone wrong when they caught a bunch
of crabs.
The river all the way from Great
Falls for fifty miles further down Is
on its good behavior and results that
fishermen are getting certainly show
that the good old times are with us
again, and still our friend the catfish
looms as large as ever. He Is stiil
holding his own. At Chain Bridge last
Wednesday Neuman Carter. OF An
napols, Nd. caught sixteen OF the
largest catfish ever brought out OF
that neighborhood. Not a one weigh
ed less than twelve pounds. This
sounds a good deal like a fish" story,
but you ask Carter. He had a pair
of pocket scales with him and they
are tested scales too.
But to get back to other fish. Perch
seem to be more numerous. than they
ever were, and refuse to stay over
board. From the Chain Bridge down
past Marshall Hall. they seem to be
at their best and doubtless will be II
we have fair weather from now on
When you start out with the proper
bait, and IL you are not looking for
great big fish, you can get enough
perch in one day to last you week
The bass are about the only fish
which haven't come up to the marx
this season. At least, not In this
neighborhood. Up In New York state
they are doing fine, as well as IN
Pennsyivania and Jersey. but in these
diggings they are on the bum. NC
real bass fisherman hangs around
this neighborhood very long, that is,
if he wants to fish.
A great many of our regular fisher
men are away on vacations, but they
were wise enough to take their I'M
plements along and many of them
are getting good results along the
sea coast. Some of them are down
at Norfolk where the fish are really
too numerous. We say too numerous
because what sport is there when a
fish is already waiting for your hook
and takes 1t without putting up a
fight to get away, and when you
bring him In there is another waiting
for you, almost begging for some
thing to eat and willing to sacrifice
his life for 1t like a German?
Numerous trout are being brought
out of the streams In New York and
Pennsylvania, especially In the high
mountain districts. Salt water trout
are fairly numerous this year. and
large punches are being pulled In
of Colonial Beach, Benedict and 9TH
er places. John Woodruff holds the
record for the week in trout. He got
los in four hours last Thursday at the
Beach and shipped them to friends
in Washington.
For a quiet, shady spot to fsh, and
as good a place as any to test your
patience, Is Great Falls, above the
dam. There you can sit for hours
without catching a thing. but II you
have your eye on your business a
great reward awaits you. Not 80
much in numbers, but in size and
Quality.

WESTERN CLUBS ARE
LEADING WITH STICK

New York. Aug. 4-Batting and base
running honors in the big leagues
seem destined TO go West this season.
Western major league clubs are set
ting the pace in these two depart
ments OF the game and IL the sunset
half OF the two big circuits can an
mex one Of the pennants the West
will have something to crow about.
In the National League the bats
men OF Western clubs have monopo-
liZed the top rungs OF the percentage
ladder ever since the season opened.
Cruise. of the Cardinals. and Roush,
Of the Reds, have come to the front
as sensational hitters and the race
between them has been hot for sew
eral months.
It took Hughie Jennings Detroit
Tigers longer than usual this year TO
take the part Of pacemakers in their
league in the matter of hittinE the
apple. but they came into their own
before the season was half over, and
II appears that only a sudden reversal
of form can cheat them out Of Amer
