leaders had acted toward their gov

CATCHES IN THE HUDSON
INCREASING

Justice T. Mahoney, Superintendent
of Inland Fisheries, in New York,
says that shad catches in the Hudson
River have been increasing since 1915.
In 1922, 5000 900 pounds of fish were
taken from New York waters, and the
catch was valued at 1,000,0 900 for all
kinds.
Hudson River shad, once occupying
a conspicuous place in the fish mar
kets of New York State, have in re-
cent years become so scarce that it
was believed the end of these fisheries
was not far distant. At one time as
cending the Hudson River each Spring
in countless numbers to spawn, they
have been steadily diminishing in
numbers until in 1915 the smallest
catch of years was recorded, 24,2O9
pounds. The Conservation Commits
sion is working to increase the sup
ply of shad in the Hudson by pur-
chasing as many eggs as possible
from fishermen, Matching them out in
its hatchery at Linlithgo, and plant
ing them in the river, and since 1918
the catch has increased. Last year a
million were planted, and this year 1t
is expected to plant as many more.
Other species of non-game fish
taken with nets in the miscellaneous
waters of New York include catfish,
dogfsh, sunfsh, calico bass, straw
berry bass, white bass and fiat fish.
In the taking of these fish many
different kinds of nets are used as not
all species can be taken with nets of
the same construction. Those licensed
are fykes, soaps, seines, gills, traps
and pounds, and of all the species in
habiting the waters of New York
there are only three kinds in the tax
ing of which nets are not permitted.
These are black bass, large and small
mouth; trout, including the brook,
steelhead, speckled, brown, rainbow
and red-throat, and the maskalonge.
The fees charged fishermen for IL
censes to operate are nominal, the
construction and size o fnet used and
the kinds of fish taken governing.
The average fee received by the Con-
servation Commission for each license
is less than 81. The cost of a license
to operate a set line is 81.

BACHELOR AND BENEDICT
NAVAL OFFICERS TO .
CROSS BATS SATURDAY

Hoarkening back to old days when
it was annual custom for the married
and single officers attached to the To-
cal naval station TO struggle for SUI
premacy on the baseball diamond,
though no such contest has been stag
ed in recent years, arrangements are
now being made for the bachelors and
benedicts to revive the custom and
engage in combat Saturday afternoon.
The game will be played on Law
renee Field Immediately following the
contest between the midshipmen and
the University of Delaware. There is
a good bit OF baseball talent among
the complement Of younger officers
now attached to the academy, al
though it is not unlikely that some
of the older ones who still feel that
they are capable of cracking out
bingle and cantering around the
bases, viii be seen in the training
squads" of the opposing teams. The
game, at all odds. promises to afford
a great deal of amusement to the
wives, sweethearts and children of the
contending players.

PROSPECTS FOR ARMY
NAVY LACROSSE TILT
HAVE FADED AWAY

Every prospect of the midshipmen
and West Point Cadets clashing on
the lacrosse field at Annapolis on
June 2, went a-glimmering today,
when the management of athletics at
the Military Academy advised Naval
Academy authorities that the Cadets
would be unable to accept the re-
newed invitation of the middies.
Naval folks held strong hope that
such a contest could be staged here
especially in view of the fact that
the midshipmen's baseball field and
track teams, all will be at West Point
on the above date, meeting their an
cient rivals, and there will be moth
ing doing in the athletic line at An
napolis.
That the game would be bang up
affair in every way, is indicated by
the work of the two teams through
out the season. They are rated as
the strongest in the country. The
middies have not suffered defeat foI
seven years. The nearest they came
to meeting a setback was last Sat.

team, having rolled up scores on

In anticipation of satisfactory ar
rangements being made for the game
the middies resumed practice yester
day afternoon. Meanwhile, a call was
to be sent to coach George Findlaysor

following the Syracuse game, to re
turn to Annapolis and point his pu
