caught thirty-two small mouth bass
one day last week. six of them weigh
ing over two pounds each. They used
artificial bait While they landed
thirty-two OF these gamesters, many
were returned TO the water that
weighed about pound. In this re-
spect. these fishermen have set an
example all anglers should follow.
Perhaps one of the most success
full fishing parties so far this season
was conducted by Ollie Atlas. who
piloted eleven to Shady Shade last
Thursday and returned with 200 fish.
They were out on the bay in the
morning, but owing to a stiff north
east wind did not commence to catch
fish until about 10 o'clock. Two dozen
big trout were included in their catch
together with hardheads. spot and
perch
The trout have now commenced
their annual run in earnest and
anglers for this fish can be assured
of good results at any of the follow
ing places:
Annapolis. Chesapeake Beach, Deep
Cove, Shady Shade, Benedict, Rock
Point, Broomes Island and other
places along the bay and Potomac
river.
Fine weather conditions and moon
light nights have contributed to some
good fishing at Chesapeake Beach.

Jack Kearns believes now that his

Dougherty of Philadelphia. who inc the
past has consistently advised that
Dempsey keep away from Wills, now

Reason for Change of Mind.
Doughertys revised estimate of the
relative prowess of Dempsey and Wills
is said TO be based upon the impression
he received of Dempsey's cleverness
against Tommy Gibbons. Jack. says
Jimmy. was surprisingly scientific that
day and has it in him to outbox Wills
by wide margin. This and his ability
to hit, which Dougherty believes Jack
still possesses. despite the lack of a wal
lop displayed in the Gibbons battle. ought
to carry the day. This and opinions of
similar sort probably figured in estab-

Wills Realizes Situation.
Up in the Berkshire Hills, where
Wills has been keeping himself in con-
dition, Harry gave forth statement the
other day that he could beat Firpo and
Dempsey in the same ring the same
night This is important. If true, but
the really interesting aspect is that it
indicates thas Wills is beginning to
realize that he has been sidetracked.
Meantime Dempsey and Firpo are
matched. Just now there is general
idea that Firpo should not survive
against the champion. but by Septem-
Der, SO curious are the mental workings
of the fans. healthy state of thrilled
uncertainty will undoubtedly be worked
