In 1909 E. B. Rice made tourna-
ment cast with a three-ounce sinker
of 1854 feet, and anglers marveled.
improvements, however. in reels, rods
and lines continued year after year
and with each Improvement the dis
tance of the cast has increased.
Passing over many world records in
the art of casting, we come down to
the records of the Asbury Park Fish
ing Club. made at Newark, n. J.. No
vember 6. 1917. At this tournament
Charles Elingshausen averaged in
five casts. the distance of 435 feet
ten inches. Very remarkable as all
fishermen will agree. But on May
25, 1919. John Shaw of the Long Is
land Casting Club, broke the previous
record with a single amazing cast
of ASP feet and three inches.
The present world record is held
by Harold G. Lentz of Philadelphia.
member of the Anglers Club Of
Ocean City, n. ]. The cast was made
at Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, on
May I. 1922, at the annual tourna-
ment Of the Dover Fishing Club. This
cast was 463 feet and eleven inches.
1t was made with a rod believed to be
of bethabara, with a Mefsselbach No.
500 reel, and a nine-thread line. The
weight of. the lead was four ounces.
No doubt the time is not far distant
when even this record will be broken.
The constantly developing skill Of
casters. together with the increasing
reel, particularly, augers we'll for a
new record. Anyone who knows any
thing about mechanical devices and
examines modern surf reel of fine
quality, must be impressed with the
wonderful workmanship, the gearing
is cut with the accuracy of the inside
of a watch and 1t would seem that
the present-day saltwater multiply
ing reel had reached it's final and
perfected form.
with rods. which, of first chop quality,
combine extraordinary strength, as
needed in handling such length of
line and heavy lead. with kind
of tempered steel elasticity. which
could hardly be expected in a rod con-
structed of wood or of glued-up cane.
Some of these cane surf rods are of
double enamel construction, and such
rods are built of twelve strips of cane
instead of the usual six strips: one
rod inside another, the two perfectly
fitted together and cemented into
solid whole.
Every Alderman can recall the first
torial art, and remembers how he
went out in his garden or in the
woods and dug earthworms for bait.
Recently one fisherman, who had been
angling for over thirty years, dis
covered a deformed worm, something
he never had even heard of. The
worm had two heads, or were they
tails? 1t would seem that one head
would be most logical. for then it
could work it's way through the earth
hos RI
hind il.
How did this deformity take place?
biologists tell us that the earthworm
readily regrows part of the body
when injured. If the front half of
an earthworm be cut away 1t will
grow new head end. What probably
happened to the worm above men
toned was that an injury cut off
either the front or the back portion
of the body. and when the end re-
grew, because Of some peculiarity of
the injury, two separate ends were
grown instead Of one.

1t IS one reason why in these days
