FISHING
Some Interesting Sidelights and
Lore on the Willy Trout
ARTICLE III

North America. In Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, Labrador ard Newfound-
land there is one speckled trout that
stays at home.
What They Are Termed
In the two provinces this fish is
known as the native" trout-in Lab
rador and Newfoundland rs the
mud trout. (Why a fontenalis
should be termed a mud trout is more
than I could fathom.)
The sea trout OF the maratime prov
Inces is not the sea trout of southern
waters. This fish is speckled looks
and tastes like the non-migrators of
the clan.
The eastern Canada sea trout" en-
tering the streams in June In large
quantities, is a worthy fighter 1t
comes In lightning darts of five pounds
or more.
From the middle of August to the
closing Of the season, the middle of
September, in Newfoundland, you can
hit sea trout streams where single
fly can load boat in a days casting,
IL the angler can last that long.
Conditions i'm Ontario
In Ontario the big speckled trout
leave the streams about the first
week in June and enter the lakes,
the small mouth bass taking up the
vacated positions in the rapids and
fast water.
On the other hand, the world
famous Nipigon offe~s it's mightiest
trout to the July angler,
On a trip in Algonquin Park, On
tario. I was fly casting below a dam
for trout. Having poor luck, put
on a spinner in the hope of catching
bass. A huge speckled trout took
the spinner on the first cast and as
far as l know is going yet

ST. PAUL, Aug. 29.-Fans Of this

dempsey.
AS he tore up the book of regula-
tons in battering his way through
the trial horses that were put to him
for a test. the South American giant
is discarding all the orthodox conven-
tons and ways of getting ready for
a worlds championship fight.
Firpo is doing things his own way;
and his way has nothing like it in the
lengthy annals of box fighting.
Pointers by Cable
Daily from his friend and hacker
Felix Bunge. Firpo gets a cable from
far away South America, telling him
what to do. Those who like to poke
fun at Luis. and they are in the ma
jority here, say that his diet is even
prescribed by cable.
From the house in which he has
established his living quarters and
which is labeled the House of the
Angels" Firpo can see the one-time
airplane hangar where Jack Demp
sey trained for his fight with Georges
karpentier.
'irpo does not ride in the morning
&h the mayor. He does not show
nlInSou IN the SafIOrlal SplenQOG OF
the champion and on the contrary he
is so careless OF his personal appear
ance that the board walkers have al
most protested at his scarcity Of
fashion.
Strangers UNIFORMED
When Dempsey was training here
a stranger was made aware of it be
fore he alighted from a train, but
newcomers now can be in the
city for hours without hav-
ing it pressed upon them as news
that Senior Firpo is a guest of the
city. There are no pictures of the
South American in the shop windows
and the hawkers have no FirpO
buttons and pennants for sale.
81 am fine. 1 am working hard
and I think I will win" Firpo said
through an interpreter. He trans
mitted the information that he knew
he was being picked generally as
the loser by the experts, but he took
some pleasure in recalling that
Tommy Gibbons was also labelled as
a victim by the expert juries.

The Outlaws

In prisons pestilentiai the convicts
work away; for punishment's essen
tial, the far-famed statutes say; the
roughneck and the shooter, the
swindler and the looter find law a
drastic tutor, within that prison
gray. The convicts in their cages
like tired hyenas stare, or walk in
futile RACES or silently they swear !;
when they obey the orders of senti
nels and warders they think they've
reached the borders of unalloyed
despair. Some people sentimental
say prisons are crime; it isn't wise
or gentle to make the boys serve
time; when officers have treed them
we ought to try to lead them to mar
row paths and feed them on pre-
cepts most sublime. Oh, let us draw
the curtain on prisoners despair;
but manwhile this is certin-we need
not join them there; if we are law
abiding, the tricks of sin deriding,
serene,y we go sliding, with halos
on our hair. If we are honest crit
ters, opposed to sham and fake, we
need not drink the bitters than men
i'll Jail must take; il we are square
and pious, no turnkeys will come
nigh US to threaten us or guy us as
soon as we're awake. We need not
fear the fetters, the dungeon or the
chain. if we observe our betters and
follow in their train. if we are emu
lating the good men, wisely hating
all argument creating the thought
that laws are vain.
