IT'S a far cry from chugging for
i goldfish to enticing tho scaleiess
speckied trout to embrace the
barbed hook Of feathcred fly.
I've gone through the various
stages Of inland fishing in America
from burlap-sacking sinners and
hornpouts TO Tipping flies to skeptic
Atlantic salmon.
It's the same story as tho rabbit
hunter craving grouse, deer, moose
and grizzlies In more or less easy
stages.
Trout fishing. with an artificial
fly, stands at the top Of the heap
in the worlds fishing. When you
arrive there, Heaven alone Is the
next stop In human desire.
There ia no rod in the world that
has quite the polse and artistic
beauty Of the fly rod-no fish Of
quite the grace and magnlficence Of
the trout-all lovely to look at. All
arc splendid fighters.
We'll may the wielder Of tho IA.
psred bamboo spllnts thank the
Great Spirit that most OF them feed
on tho surface, and in consequence,
rise TO a ny.
Tho one notable non.riser rs the
salmon trout. lake trout, or gray
trout. that inhabits the cooling
depths OF our Northern rock.bot.
toned lakes. Tho trout family Is
well scattered over North America.
In Nova Scotia. New Brunswick,
Labrador and Newfoundland there
"a one spccklcd trout that stays at
home.
In the two provinces this fish is
known as tho native" trout-in
Labrador and Newfoundland as the
mud" trout. why a fontenallg
should he termed mud trout In
moro than could fathom)

provinces Ia not tho sea trout OF

became the center OF attraction.
However. the Rube was not fully

he was regarded as one OF the big

way.
DEVELOPED
INTO a STAR
Thru a slow and careful process
McGraw eventually developed the
lean and lanky southpsw There
was a sharp turn in affairs and
finally Vanguard became a pitching
sensation.
That record OF 10 successive vic
tories attained in 1912 remains the
best performance OF any big league
pitsher during these modern times.
But the -orthpaw phenom did not
live long-anyway In McGraw's
opinion. and during the 1915 season
the Rube was passed along 70 the
Brooklyn superbas as fading vet
eran. He lasted five years and a
half with Wilbert Robinson when
there was another shift in his Jour
ney, the RUDE going over TO the
Cincinnati Reds In exchange for
Walter Ruether.
Marquard lived but one season
with the Reds and he was traded
along with Larry Kopf TO the Bos-
ton Braves for Pitcher John Scott.
One of Marquards most recent
games was shut,out against the
ST. Louis Cardinals in which he did
not pass a. single batter.
PRAISE FOR
MARQUARD
1T was one Of the prettier
pitched games have seen all sum,
mer," remarked Fred Mitchell.
That fellows a wonder, let me tell
you. While they have been talking
about new phenoms and old stars
this season, there isn't pitcher in
the league who has pitched better
ball than Marquard. With tail
end club he has practically broke
even.
You don't hear much about his
work-cf sourse. you dosst, because
we're down IN the cenar. < 1T right
now he would win the pennant for
the Giants Reds or Pirates. Nc
Graw could use him. Don't think
he couldn't. The same goes for
