Chairman August Hermann, OF IN,
National Baseball Commission, issued
statement here last night relative 10
Secretary OF War Bakers decision plac-
ing baseball in the list OF non-essen-
tials. Mr.. Hermann said;
1T Is apparent that Secretary Baker
has given the matter his most serious
consideration, and his conclusions are
beyond doubt based upon the highest
motives possible In the matter. Just
what the method OF procedure OF the
club owners Is TO be Is one that will
be determined upon in the next few
days, but ! am sure there IS only one
conclusion that we will come 10, and
that is that constituted authority must
and win be upheld by all interested
parties.
"Hls suggestion that many OF the
players are beyond the draft age and
therefore it Is thy no means certain
that complete disorganization Of the
business will follow on account Of the
order is one that will be a matter for
the clubs TO determine. As all Of the
clubs in both major leagues win be
in transit on Sunday evening, there Is
no doubt that IL viii remain In status
quo for few days.
"The interested parties viii take up
with the proper authorities at once the
mode OF procedure in closing out the
business temporarily II Il is deemed
necessary TO do so. We must have a
ruling at once as TO the status Of the
players in seeking essential employ
ment, the length Of time TO be given
them TO do so and whether IL Will be
necessary to apply to the local board
having originally jurisdiction over him.
/ am assuming the player in securing
essential employment will be permitted
TO do so anywhere at home or in the
city or vicinity In which his club is 10
Gated.
Personally, I believe with Secretary
Baker that persons who attend outdoor
sports such as baseball are In need
OF them, are helped by these great ma
tlonal exhibitions. physically and mem
tally, and made more efficient industri-
ally. by the relaxation that they there
enjoy and therefore some time may
be devised TO the end that the game
will continue in some manner or other

H0RNSBY TO PLAY
WITH HARLAN TEAM

Rogers Hernsby, the st. Louis National
player is coming to the Harlan plant
10 build ships, and may get into the
game today against Bethlehem.
Hornsby batted second in the big
league last year and his club refused
an offer Of $4,000 for him this year.
Everything is ready for the big
double bill at Harlan Baseball Park
this afternoon. The first game between
Pusey & Jones and Bill Gallagher's
Delaware River ship League team will
start at i3O o'clock. The second game
between Bethlehem and Fred Payne's
.ex-league stars will follow immediate
ly after the first contest.
There will be two bands, probably
three at the games. The Harlan Band
and the Bethlehem Band will be there,
and II Is likely that the Pusey& Jones
group of musicians will also attend to
toot things along for their team. With
all these musicians present there ought
to be a whooping time.

Members OF the association will hail
with delight the good news that the
second consignment Of black bass ar
rived on Friday, from the Govern
ment Owing TO the inability Of Chair
man Jackson in meeting the train, the
consignment was received by Presi-
dent Van Luvanee, ElwoOd Lee and
Samuel Hackendorn. The species Of
flsh received In the shipment were OF
the small mouth variety and was i'm
medlately placed in one Of the streams
CT New Castle county. Altogether,
about 250 small-mouth bass were re-
oslvsd. The association is putting
forward every effort TO restock the
nsarby ponds and streams and asks
the anglers OF the city TO use their
best judgment where FISH have been
planted. There are a few anglers who
think Just because a pond has been
s.ocked with brood stock, that they
are privileged TO catch the fish. While
We know that the season is open for
bass we take this means Of asking the
angling public 10 help us give all the
protection 10 the fish that they can.
Il Is our desire TO restock with fry
and yearling, but especially in the Fall
Of the year, It is necessary TO use the
brood stock. Some Of these fsh weigh
frdm 1 to i-2 pounds and there are
few anglers who take a delight In
calching these flsh In the spring OF the
ysar. The association must report
bsck TO the Federal Government after
ths expiration Of three years, the con-
diion OF the FISH planted. so we ask
ydl again, Mr. Angler, any pond you
know we have stocked with brood fish,
d not take them for at least two
9ars.

Z Old Soils rays proved too strong for
many seasoned anglers who spent last
sunday on the lakes and ponds in the
outhern part OF the State in quest OF
hack bass. BY midday the heat wave
dove the fishermen to the shelter af-
fGded by the wooded shores, and as a
reult, small catches were the rule, as
most Of the anglers had TO return by
sinset, when their chances were the
hest for taking FISH.
The daylight saving plan does not
help the anglers who have to depend
upon the train service, as it really
brings them away from their happy
hunting grounds just one hour earlier
Those who go by auto may fish as late

as 9 o'clock and enjoy the best Of the
late fishing, as the flsh both strike and
rise better after sunset.
s-s-s-s
Very few large bass have been caught
so far this season, and anglers are try
ing all the different kinds Of bait manu-
featured that they may get the bass to
rise. Several have been caught weigh
ing from to pounds.
s-s-s-s
While anglers who visited the lake al
High Bridge were trying their hardest
to catch FISH and meeting with no sue
cess, II remained for a flshhawk TO
show the boys how II was really done,
The hawk swooped down from the air
like a shot from a gun and landed a 10
inch fish without any trouble. As one
angler said, He can do il, why can't
WEI" but nobody seemed to be willing
to dive under the water IN order 10 take
home a catch.

Harry Schrade, Paul Beecher, r. w.
Van Luvanee, Elwood Lee and Frank
Campbell, while fishing at High Bridge
last Sunday, caught five bass and two
crappies.

Sometime ago we were asked about
the pike-perch. There are three rather
well-deflned color varieties Of the pike
perch, which may be recognized, de-
pendent on age and surrounding cOndi-
tlons. These are the gray, yellow and
blue. The gray variety attains the larg-
est size, 40 pounds being the maximum
and 10 10 90 pounds being common. The
yellow form reaches a weight OF %
pounds, and is often taken weighing
5 to 10 pounds. II has the widest range
and Is the most numerous. The blue
pike occasionally reach a weight OF
pounds, but on a general average. will
be under one pound. The gray and yel-
low varieties are usually found In the
larger streams and in the Great Lake:
seek water varying from 10 to 40 feet
while the blue variety seems to prefer
a depth Of from 30 to 20 feet.
Various names are given to the pike
perch in different parts OF its habitat
and two or more names in some local..
ties. Wall-eyed pike is the. .mosi
widely used designation. Pike anC
pickerel are employed in the Great
Lakes. In the Susquehanna and Della
ware rivers and along the Ohio and its
tributaries the fish is very inappro-
priately known as Salmon. Dory or

In order 70 avoid confusion and TO In
dlcate the family relationship, the
United States Fish Commission has
recommended the name Of pike-perch
the fish being perch Of pike-llke sp-
pearance and habits.
The pike-perch prefers clear water
with gravel, sand. or hard clay bot
tom. The center OF its abundance is
Lake Erie. but Il is among the most
widely distributed Of our fresh-water
fish, its range extending along the At
lsntic seaboard from New Brunswick,
New Hampshire. Massachusetts, and
Connecticut. as far south as North
Carolina, thence to the northern por-
tions Of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi
and Arkansas on the south, with Kan
sas, Nebraska, the Dakotas its western
limit, and the Hudson Bay system Its
northern boundary. In New Hampshire,
Connecticut, New Jersey and Eastern
Pennsylvania II is not indigenous. Its
adaptability 70 suitable new waters is
shown by It's acclimatization in the
Susquehanna and Delaware, In Penn
sylvanla, in many small lakes In Mlchi-
gan and in the streams and lakes OF
Nebraska where IL has rapidly multi.
piled and is a great favorite with
anglers.
