Trolling the Streams
With Local Fishermen
By sKIFPER PERKINs,

i ly enough the majority Of these i'm
patient men and boys do not care
much for other sports except, Of
course, baseball, and they are like q
fish out of water when time hangs
heavy on their hands and they can
not hsh.
Speaking Of patience, there Is one
man among US, a distinguished diplo-
mat, who has patience enough and to
spare TO make the finest angler that
ever came down the pike. He IL
Almaro Sato, minister plenipotentiary
and ambassador extraordinary from
Japan to the United States. He and
few Of the city,s Japanese residents
visited Rock Point last week and
made q dent among the trout and
perch. The Ambassador got the most
fish Of all. He got about six to the
other hshermen's one. He goes about
II like he IL used to It. He had fine
string when he came home and was
congratulated all the way home.
DR.. Robert T. ]. Barber, B. C.
Wheeler and DOC" Bayne, all salt
water fishermen, tried their luck at
Plum Point, six miles below Chesa-
peake Beach. After a bad trip on the
muddy road they settled down to
business. Wheeler fooled a twelve
pound rock into getting on his hook
so it wouldn't get OF and landed him
very nicely. This stimulated the rest
and they pitched in and caught tEir-
teen more, all fair sized ones, and the
one was sorry for the time and money
spent.
J. B. schroth, Raymond Houser and
B. B. Hunt went after the fish at
GaInrnnna ~ Ia 40
fully eighty large hardheads from the
water. Perch were very numerous
and they were no trouble at all to
catch.
Capt. Charles T. Peck, Leo Murray,
r. L. Taylor and H. A. Cole went
over to Rock Point and they were
bothered a great deal by the wind
and rainy weather, but even at that
they had come too far not to catch
anything. They had their eyes on
the hardheads, but the perch pushed
them out Of the way and hogged
the bait themselves. Two hundred
was their haul
D. ]. Murphy, James Casey. Charlie
Porter and ]. X. Heyl. all real fisher
men, went to Rock Point also, and
had fair to middling luck. They land
ed a few rock, but like the rest Of
the Rock Point visitors, they played
havoc with the perch, which kept
getting in the way.
B. B. Hunt and Edgar Priest got
the gold medal for last weeks fish,
ing, Thursday at Solomons Island,
and what they did to 242 hardheads
was a plenty. This catch was the
brightest spot during the whole week
and has brought a ray Of light to
many a discouraged fisherman. Perch
galore, so many they didn't count
them. And spots, too, were plentiful,
but there happened at this particular
day to be so many hardheads float
ing around that 1t was a shame to
catch any more.

CHAMP BACKING Down
IN PROMISE TO UNCLE
Fishc Fans Are Wondering if Benny
Leonard Is Still Going to Enlist.


New York. July H.-Ths country
10 beginning to wonder II Benny
Leonard was serious when he an
nouncsd after winning the lightweight
championship from Freddie Welsh
that he would Immediately Join some
branch Of the United States army
or Navy and that his fights would
be against only the best men in his
division. Since that announcement
Leonard has fought twice-against 4
''sstup' each time. He has been
matched for an encounter in PhiIa-
delphia with Johnny Kilbane and
the fight 10 to so only six rounds.
Leonard turned down one Of the
best offers the country ever heard
Of for a bout in that class when he
refused Matt HinkePs offer OF q
$4,000 purse for q 15-round 90 in
Ohio-and no decision was attached
to the articles for the bout. Kilbane
and his manager had set their sig
natures to the agreement and were
ready to go ahead.
One Of two things happened to
Leonard when he received that offer.
He either figured Kilbane far too
dangerous to battle for fifteen rounds
or he decided that fighting six rounds
for a wad Of money was more re-
munerative than battling fifteen
rounds for a slightly larger wad.
The bout in Philadelphia doesn't
promise anything and II Leonard
doesn't show at his very best he will
be soundiy panned. The unpopular
ity Of Freddie Welsh and his record
Of many no-decision alleged fights
should be a warning to Leonard.
Ther are many young light-weights
aching for q crack at his crown and
they would be willing even to take
him on in ten-round bouts. The fans
want that kind Of action-not the
six-round kind even II 1t 10 with
Johnny Rilbane as an antagonist.
