JERSEY PTCKEREL
NEED CATCH LIMIT
Agitation Developing Among
Angling Clubs for Protec-
ton for Pike.

| HAcKErTsTowN, n. j., July PC
Agitation Is developing among New
Jersey anglers clubs for the placing OF
legal bag limit on the number OF pike
or pickerel that can be taken in sim
gle day by fisherman.
Need for some such legislation has
been indicated this season. II is reported.

hogs" have slaughtered these fish by
wholesale long after catching them be-
| came sport and merely because the
pickerel happen to be unusually plenti-
full this year.
One particularly grievcus offence
against good craftsmanship has aroused
tie ire of fishermen In Sussex county,
where two nonresident fishermen from
Easton, Pa. visited a lake that Is a
popular fishing resort and in three days
caught several hundred big pike
enough in fact to fill two barrels after
the fish had been cleaned.
Just because the FISH were biting well
at that time and with no thought of
other sportsmen or of future fishing, they
proceeded to make a new record for the
pork tribe.
The pike and pickerel are probably
the most numerously distributed fish in
inland waters OF New Jersey, but they
are no more plentiful than were the
carrier pigeons within the memory Of
many sportsmen now living. before
methods OF the game hog and market
hunter exterminated them.
These fish multiply rapidly and under
proper conservation they will continue
to furnish food and sport for ali who
fish for them.
Fishing for pike and plckerel Is proc
hibited except during an open season,

fish, there 10 no bag limit Tor q days

Never before in tho history of ms
Ocean City cup contests. the classic OF
the surf casting world, has there bocn
such keen interest In the preliminary
shaping of teams and practice thak Is
beings done TO insure every man being
in top form when August s-rolis around.
J. The cup, which was held for two
years by the Asbury Park Fishing Club
team, last year went back to Ocean
City, after sterling performances blythe
members of the South Jersey team.
Frank camplon. under whose tutelage
the Ocean City quintette 20 successfully
performed last year, has had his men on
the beach nightly. and some record
breaking casts have been made In prao-
tice.
1t is probable that Ray Riday, n
,year-old boy, may be added TO the Ocean
City squad. Riday has been averaging
close to 400 feet in practice.

ing talent for, his team. It 10 probable
that final selection OF the team will
not be made until after the club tourna-
ment is held at Asbury Park. August ..
1t Is predicted, however. by the rail-
birds that there will be one, and perhaps
two. new faces on the Asbury Park team.
Not much has been heard from Belmar,
but Capt Egbert Newman can be de-
pended upon to turn out q good team,
and they may surprise the knowing ones.
The same might be said for tho Midland
Beach club.
A newcomer In the cup contest this
year will be the Long Island Casting
Clubs team. A crackep3ack outfit Is
being built, with Burger ana John Shaw
as the nucleus The latter Is the long
distance champion. with the record mark
Of 452 feet inches.
While this is not expected TO be passed
in the cup contest it Is believed that
with good weather conditions the mark
will be sent much higher before the-sum-
mer is over, and it would not be sur
prising to see 500 feet passed.

intervening years great improvements
have been made in initiating the col

Y. M. c. A. NOTES.

The Glee Club is having hard time
in getting together again. Three were
present at the meeting last week A
strenuous effort is to be mode to get
them together again next Wednesday
evening, April 2nd.
When the All-Employed Boys Club
met last Monday evening the members
found a list of challenges waiting for
them from the "Hi-Y" boys club. They
promptly accepted the challenge, sent
a counter challenge to their challeng-
ers for contests in boxing and whis-
ting, and appointed a committee to
wait on the boys of the other club and
arrange dates and conditions. They
declare they are going to wipe those
Hi-Ys "clean off the face of the earth"
The Hi-Ys are equally defiant, and de-
clare it their intention "to fight to the
last man" before they shall let those
All-EmplOyed boys get the best of
them. SO hot times are Just ahead for
them all.
The Hi-Ys had splendid and inspir-
ing meeting Tuesday evening. They
were out in full force, with their Bible
instructor, Mr.. Burke They first lis.
tened to an address by the Rev d, p.
Over, who spoke on Things That En-
rich the Life" The address was
highly inspirational, and, the speaker
was cordially thanked after he had
finished. They then had half hours
Bible class study, and closed with a
short business session. Altogether it
was an hour well spent.
The club of smaller boys. about
twenty-five strong, meets every Satur-
day morning from 9 80 to II 80. Their
sports this morning will be baseball,
tug-of-war, boxing and wrestling. A
Bible story will precede the sports.
praise and song service will be
held tomorrow Sunday afternoon at

nowhere but in America. It's body Is
shaped like that of the ordinary rat,
but instead of the short, close hair
of the land species, il is covered by a
thick reddish-brown fur, and because
it lives much in the water it has

Use Time to Advantage.

Time, which never stands still itself,
will not allow any one of us to stand
still 1t delivers into our hands sixty
minutes every hour and compels us to
dispose of them in some way. Whether
we will or not, constant accounting
has to be rendered. One who falls into
the habit of dissipating time dissipates
not only opportunity but happiness, for
the spendthrift of time becomes a
spendthrift of the other things which
make life worth while.-Forbes Maya
