city was among those who attended
the first camp. ~
In September, 1922, Mesdames
s~axse Phelps, Robert B. Kepley
and M--C Blanchard definitely
chose the present camp location af-
ter a thorough Investigation and
consideration of locations at Jewel
Valley, the Laguna mountains and
other points. The passage of time
has shown the wisdom of the deci-
sion of this committee. Payment
on the camp was begun as that
time, and since that date hundreds
of girls have had the pleasure of
outings at the camp.
During the past winter months
the buildings at the camp have
been put in condition for cold
weather weekend camps, of which
six have been held. 1t is also plan
ned to hold a number of these
gatherings next fall and winter,
thus increasing materially the SER
vice rendered by the camp. Many
advisors conferences and similar
meetings will doubtless be held
there in the future.

Johnny Jones, the shortstop who

Byron (Rube) Harrison from the

Brooklyn's terms by letter, which
binds him to the Brooklyn Club, but
he refuses to sign his contract until
the Portland Club has paid him part
Of the purchase money. Speaking
OF that case, Boss Ebbets remarked:
Jones has not a leg to stand on,
legally, in that demand upon Port.
land for part of the sale price. Nor.

made himself so valuable to a club

Harrison, 1t might be mentioned,

or obstreperous as Jones, for he
signed a Brooklyn contract a few
days ago.

sity Of Pennsylvania football team,
came to the defense Of the great
American college game today, when
he said that never in the history
Of the game has 1t been cleaner
and never has 1t required more
brains and skill to play it. He
spoke before the Easton Kiwanis
Club today, and during his talk took
issue with a prominent Philadel.

said that college football IL demon
alizing college athletics. He said
that although gate receipts for foot
ball at Penn are large, yet the pro.

He paid high tribute to Lafayette

the cleanest game he had ever seen

An advantage Of "a pins won in

The Baltimoreans were nearly

Shooting on strange alleys, they
were beaten by an average Of only
seventeen pins q team game, q little
over an average Of three pins q
game individually.
Analyzed, the Washington advan.

FADES further when 1t Is considered
that the Baltimoreans rolled below
their average, and that the Curb
cracks shot point or two above
theirs: Baltimore averaged 108 and

Steadfastly denying himself to

ing his illness with mystery and
the added fact that his manager,
Jack Kearns, usually available at

tribute to the general uneasiness.
The situation was brought to q
boil today by the announcement
that Dempsey must remain in the
hospital for at least ten days
longer. His original stay was
limited to "a few days" in the
early estimates and seeming EN-.
phasis was placed on the fact that
the operation was to be a. minor

Fishing Editor,

Dear Bob: There has been called
to my attention. by a very dear
friend Of mine, a real fragrant viO'
lation Of the fishing laws, commit
ted by one whom we all patronize
at different times during the bass
fishing season. The story follows:
There 10 situated at Gunston
Cove, Va, a fisherman named -
who, ON several occasions Today
being one Of them, II the river isn't
frozen over, hauls q drag net with
the assistance Of several men from
Washington. On these haul0
large percentage Of the catch -
large mouth bass. He sells these
fish at 80 cents a pound to these
same men and the balance goes TO
the market.
These assistants, ignorant Of their
crime. go down to this placA Z
the fun Of hauling them In by thu
dozens. To them 1t Is real sport
for the poor fools know no better.
but Mr.. knows that he 10
violating his fishing license regu.
lations and that 1t is an unsports-
manlike thing to do.
Now, II this continues at Gun
stOn Cove at this time of year
and up to the opening Of the
season, how can we expect good
fishing there? Who wishes to
patrOnize a man Of such caliber?
Is there no one In that locality
to enforce the law? This has been
going on for the last three Sun.
days. How many bass do you
suppose this fish hog" has taken
from GunstOn Cove during this
period?
Now, Bob, know yo0 VUS6O q
real sportsman and both you and I
have put dollars in this mans
pocket on many occasions. sug-
gest that some Of US investigate
this matter, and you can count on
me to give all the assistance pos.
sible. We can either prove our
case on the man or fully exonerats
him. II the former, then every
real sportsman should make It hts
duty to stay away from this mans
place.
With kindest regard. beg to

DELANEY handed out a fine

This was considered quite a feath-
