BASEBALL Is THE
SPORT THIS YEAR

Baseball has regained the place II
lost in popularity during the war,
and has even gone beyond that point,
Judging from the number of permits
granted baseball teams for the use
OF the grounds under the iurisdic-
ton OF the Board of Park Commits
sioners, so far this season.
SO far this season 695 baseball per
.mlts have been issued, while all last
season only about three hundred were
issued. This was set forth in the
report Of Park Superintendent Mack
TO the Park Commissioners at their
Injecting yesterday afternoon.
The swimming pools are likewise
proving popular. At the Brandywine
pool, there have been i709/men pay
and 1874 free; 78i women pay and
1859 free, a total Of 1903 and show
ing receipts Of S2i9. At the Kirk
wood pool, which has no pay days,
there were 9Si3 men and 1884 women.
At Walnut pool, which also has no
pay days" there were 1850 men and
go women attending.

Hey, fellers, how would you ike TO
land a few like this one? While fish
ing in the Delaware bay, below Bow
.ers' Beach, one day this week. a shark
weighing i72 pounds was caught with
rod and line by Ellis Hamilton, of this
city. Hamilton was a member OF a
party from the South Side Fishing
Club, which was out on the boat,
Robert The shark fought well for a
good half hour. but was finally
landed. The party also caught about
450 croakers.
As the months Of July and August
are two Of the Warmest months Of the
year, and bass and crappies prefer to
hide in some Of the deep, shady pools,
refusing all kinds Of tempting bait,
most anglers are taking trips to
Lewes and Bowers Beach where THEY
are enjoying excellent fishing
These angling grounds are becom-
ing very popular and are proving to
be faVOrites among the outside
anglers. While bait is generally sup
piled by the captains Of the boats, il
is always a wise plan to take some
along Bay fishing has become so
popular that it is necessary for the
fishing boats 10 make two and three
trips a day in order to accommodate
the crowds.

has Outtltted a motor boat, also three
batteaus at Bowers Beach for fishing
parties, particularly those from this
city.

Wilmington was practically desert
ed by the sporting fraternity over last
weekend as every one seemed TO be
enjoying the great outdoor life for
three days. Camps were located on
every available piece Of ground and
those not so fortunate as to have
reservations made either in hotel or
boarding houses found 10 necessary
TO bunk in their automobiles. But it
seemed everything was taken good
naturedly and most all report having
the time of their lives.
Delaware City and LOrewOod Grove
drew their regular quota Of anglers
but hundreds of others spent the few
days in the lower end Of the State
where the fishing has been exceptions
ally good ever since the opening day
Tackle dealers have experienced much
difficulty in supplying the demand for
this kind Of sport, and say that never
befOEe has the demand for tackle been
so great, and never have they noticed
so many people becoming followers
Of Ike Walton Get the habit it is
good, clean, recreatve sport and
something that will relieve the body
and mind Of its daily drudge through
office and shop duties.
II is not our purpose to tell the
angler what kind Of bait he should
use when out casting. but did you
ever stop to consider. good sports
man. what a barbarous implement the
casting plug was that has from six
10 nine hooks fastened to it? We all
know that when fishing with live
bait, as a rule, we only use one hook.

the poet has sung.
So occasionally, it may appear that
we do not appreciate the steady, I'M
heraldod and yet invaluable services
OF "a player like Scott.
Scott recently established the rec
ord for consecutive games played in
the major leagues, He completed his
579lh game in a row. IL was thought
that he made the record some years
ago when he passed the mark set by
Luderus Of the Phillies. who played
in 533 games without interruption.
But always some statlstician bobs
up to take the wind out Of one sails.
In this instance 10 was found that
way back in the late sos one George
Pinckney of the Brooklyn club, play
ed 57S games in six seasons without
a break. Therefore. Scott had TO set
out aglin TO surpass Pinckney and he
is quite likely 10 go right along and
establish a record that Won't be
equaled for a long, long time.
Scott has been playing steady and
consistent ball since 1916 and made
his record in five phYiug seasons. He
is a sterling and reliable shortstOp,
and has won a prominent niche in
baseballs Hall Of Fame.

The violet blooms modestly,
Far in the Woodlands shade;
She does not advertise herself
Nor swagger on parade.
She simply sticks right on the Job
In sylvan dells and hooks,
And let's the naughty blossoms brag
About their style and looks.
She is a modest little thug,
Quite different from those
Who idle meath the greenhouse glass
And think about their clothes.
And yet the humble violet,
The fragrant forest fay,
With dow upon her petals makes
A mighty swell bouquet.
Sometimes we baseball fans over
look players like Everett Scott OF the
Boston Red SOx. Athletes who are
more spectacular seem to monopo-
lize the public prints and grab Out
attention by their home-run clouts
and cuncus stunts.

We know from past experience with
the one hook proposition that Mr.
or Mrs. B. has just the same chance
as the man who is on the other end
Of the line. We know from exper-
ience that when a FISH strikes a plug
bait that has three to five burrs of
hooks that most times when landed
you will find several Of these hooks
embedded in the fish somewhere. Does
this not seem like going after them
with a gig or some such apparatus?
Now that there are manufactured
some mighty good single hook lures,
why not become more humane and go
rather more for the sport than for
the quantity.
Why not let the flsh have the same
equal chance as you have? If he puts
up a good fight and manages to make
his getaway, he has proven to you
that he is Just as good as you are and
in some cases a whole lot better. II
will be but a short time when you
will see how much more sport you
can have by using the single hook
line, than by casting the inhuman
plug loaded with a choice amount Of
hooks. For the sake Of good, clean,
human sport, stop TO consider this,
fellow sportsman, and use a casting
lure that will give a chance 10 both
fish and fisherman.
Parties returning from Canal Bridge
report that white catfish and blue gill
sunnsh are now taking the bait quite
freely and several large catches have
! been the result.
