will be the first club in their league

Charles Holt, a young piscator,

In lifetime, that OF landing his

According to Dale. the gamester
took the young mans lure with
a rush and never stopped going

the end. When the bass started
on his second go off It was a case
of hit quick or not at all. Charles
gave a sudden backward movement
with his rod and Mr.. Bass was
hooked, but not landed. After
fight that lasted for some little
time, the young man brought to

With the river in fishable con-

to try some new lures on the big

that bass could be seen in large

artificial or live bait.

Goldie Ahearn is a Washington
boy. He began boxing while In a
training camp and continued 1t over
seas. Probably because he Is a
southpaw, he met with success after
success in the many camp boxing
shows while a member of the A. Il.
+. and was taken to Italy as one of
the team of american boxers headed
by Mike O'Dowd, at that time world
middleweight champion.
Johnny Reno has been in the navy
for a couple Of years. He has hung
up long string of victories in serv-
ice bouts and, strange as it may
seem for a navy boxer, is clever
rather than a hitter. II he possessed
real kick to assist his cleverness,
he'd be close to the top among the
lads his weight,
GOldie Ahearn, who has a lot of
friends in the Capital, has done
most of his ring work outside OF
Washington, but he has always
wanted 10 show before his own
friends.
Ahearn has ,been clamoring for d
bout at Sportland. He saw Reno
collapse before frankie Rice. the
Baltimore caveN man. and promptly
asked to have the club hook him up
with Reno. But the service boxer
was under a cloud and had to battle
his way to the top again. This he
has done.
Reno stopped frankie Daily. OF
Baltimore, in his first effort to prove
his class He had earned a semi
final. He got it with John L. Smith
last week. He was far too classy for
Smith, who is an earnest worker and
that's all. 1t is doubtful IL Smith
landed a hard blow on Reno through
out their contest.
So frankie Mann, the new match
maker at Sportland, listened to
.Goldie Ahearn's prayers and signed
him for this weeks bout. booking
him for ten rounds with Reno. They
are to weigh 128 pourds ringside and
box to a decision under the rules and
regulations of the Maryland boxing
commission.
Aheard is a careful cuss. He never
underestimates his opponent. He

for tonight's contest. He thinks he
has too much experience for Reno
and that he knows a way to stop
him.
II GOldie Ahearn will forget the
caution he usually exhibits in the
ring and starts aggressiyely after
his rival, tonight's feature bout
will be a sizzler. II he doesn't, he
may find himself eating crow.
II Reno is baffled by the awkward
ness of a southpaw and does not lead
enough. he may find himself doing
the crow.eating stunt.
Ahearn can hardly win by drawing
himself into his shell. He will have
TO mix it with Reno. He says Reno
can't hit. In that case there Is
nothing for him to fear. II he boxes
aggressively. Goldie may win. II he
doesn't. II should be Reno's bout,
provided the navy lad doesn't find
that southpaw stuff too much for
him to fathom.

We try to cultivate too many

Letting the right kind of seed and
prepare only what ground we can
seed and cultivate properly. If we
will do this, next fall we will have
more to show for our labor and our
land will be in better condition, for
land half cultivated or poorly cult

than land properly cultivated.
1t is the little things that we know
