Locals Play Trenton at Mu-

and Camden Meets Read
ing in Important Clash on
Latter's Court

TIIE second half of the Eastern
L League basketball race is tightening
up. The Trenton Tigers by their vic
tory over Coatesville last night have
advanced to a. tie with Reading for
first place and the Jerseymen are anx
ious TO score another win over the
Phillies when they play here tonight at
Musical Fund Hall, Eighth and Locust
streets.

Phils. Camden will be at Reading
playing the pretzels in game that will

locals now hold half game lead. 4
victory for the Skeeters will cause n
tie, while a victory for Reading means
the Germs will have n full game adyan-

The fight between Reading and Trcn e
ton for the highest place promises to be
as kcenly fought as the scrap between
the Skectcrs and Germs for the second
half honors, not that these teams are
out of the running, but the present
leaders have the best chance of win
ming. Reading and Trenton are fight
ing hard for places, as the one that
finishes highest meets the winner of tho
second half for the seasons title.

will be Willie Miller and ".Chicky" Pas

OF catfish, for there have been almost
exactly the same for this and the three
preceding winters. with the exception
OF last years unusually severe winter.
When the average temperature was about
SIX degrees warmer.
1t has also been suggested that the
remarkably early movement and feeding
OF IN" catfish is due to the almost entire
freedom from ice in the rivers and
ponds thus allowing n greater amount
or oXygcnation of the water. some
thing that would undoubtedly have
tendency to cause activity among the

explanation is wcakneded first by the
fact that there was little il any more ice

tof mat was an open. mild winter.
also. Second, there is the fact that in
the aquarium there is. as matter of
course. never any ice in the water in
the tanks. and the amount of oxygen
found therein is much greater than is
naturally in rivers and ponds under the
most favorable conditions. yet hereto
fore the fish have slumbcred il'April.
It's Mystery
For the present the cause for the
activity of catfish at this time of the
year Is. therefore, a mystery. one more
kbf the many which surround fish life.
So anglers will have to accept the fact
without bothering much about the
problems of why. Their chief concern
will be places whore they will be most
likely to invcigle n mess.
One Of the nearby locations where
catfish about during tt summer
months and which should yield results
now. is NcShaming creek between
Croydon and the mouth of the stream.
The RanCcCas is also q favOritc haunt
for catfish. and so are Big and Little
Timber creeks. Probably the most
famous stream. the one which yields the
most and the largest fish. is Salem
creek at the town of that name. Alloway
creek at both Quinton and the village
of Alloway. is good fishing stream.
The white catfish prcdOminatcS in these
two last named waters. while ~ the
others the yellow catfish is said to be the
most numerous.
The best bait are big fat earth worms,
commonly called night crawlers. Il frag-
ment of fresh herring aud a piece of
American cheese. Under normal COM
ditions. the two latter bats are better
after the season has advanced a bit.
Weather conditions are such that worms
can be had for the digging, and perhaps
in some of the fish bait stores.
Ordinarily catfish bite better at night
than in the day time. but under the
abnormal circumstances the chances are
that daylight fishing would be quite as
good if not little better.
