our Outdoorsman savs:

Our O~utdoorsman says:
safety first when casting or
handling a fishhook, should be the
rule. Hooks are sharp and have a
barb and unless you are careful you
r apt to hook yourself or someone
else instead of the fish.
Good reels are often spoiled by
casting with the click on. The click
is intended as a signal to indicate
when the fish has taken the bait,
and for keeping the line from pay
ing out when not in use.
Hooks, spinners, spoons, wire
leaders and any other metal parts
of your equipment, are apt to rust
unless cared for. An oil-soaked rag
should always be in your kit for use
and not for. ornament.
Archery
A wonderful out doors sport, lit
tie seen in this vicinity but extern
sively followed in many parts of the
country, is Archery. The forty-third
annual tournament of the National
Archery Association of the United
States was held this week at Chi
cago. The expert bowmen and wo-
men from all over the country COM
peted and some forty cups and me-
dalS were awarded. Interest in this
ancient sport is steadily growing;
new clubs are being formed and a
large number of people r becom-
ing interested in the game that was
a profession before the coming of
firearms.
The boy scouts have done much
toward p%opularizing the sport and
no doubt the local troops will soon
take this UP along with their other
activities.
In archery today, targets are 4S
inches in diameter and the center
or gold" is 8 5-S inches in diameter.
Around the gold are bands of red,
blue, black and white. A gold counts
9 points, a red Z, a blue s, a black
3 and a white. 1 point. Events range
from 40 to 106ryards.
The bows generally used are the
traditional six foot yews." Lemon

GLEE CLUB
READY FOR BATTLE
With POULSEN NINE

With Tone Denny of Plainfield on
the mound, Manager Ed Poulsen OF
the Perth Amboy baseball nine is
confident that the locals will regis
ter a victory in their initial start in
the Three NJ league this afternoon.
The hard hitting Yardville nine will
be encountered in this tussle schedul-
ed for the Raritan Copper works
field at S:15 o'clock.
Denny has had minor league ex-
p%erience and in addition pitched for
a number of the leading teams in
this state. Last Sunday he had an
easy time dumping the Elizabeth
knights of Columbus aggregation on
the Betsytown field. With Lidgate
behind the bat, the Queen City hurl-
er will surely show real class. The
remainder OF the lineup will be the
same as has been used in Sunday
contests.
Yardville last Saturday dropped an
eleven inning game to the heavy bat
ting Freehold nine, after obtaining a
five run lead in the first inning at
the expense of Aicer Jensen. southz
paw hurler Of the Monmouth county
nine. Freehold succeeded in tieing
the score by taIlying nine runs in the
ninth inning.
Bash is leading the league at the
present time, with two victories and
nary a defeat. Freehold is second
with two and one, Hightstown has
won and lost a game, and Yardville
and Barber have each won one game
and lost two. Today Hightstown is
scheduled to play the league leaders.
while Barber will stack forces with
Freehold.
