against Johnson's pitching than any other rival

Carl Mays, pitching over span Of nine seasons

games to the Athletics for percentage Of 1921,
this being the best continuous performance by a

The poorest effort is that shown by Bryan
Harris, of the Athletics. Harris has been serving
them to the Yankees for five years. In all this
time Harris could register but single success
this being his victory Of June z, 1920, when Harris
bested Rip Collins and Bob Shawkey by a single

r. A. Angler. Fisherman,
Washington Times,
Dear Sir,
Being an enthusiastic reader of
your Saturday evening fishing ar
ticles in The Times, I take the lib
erty to address you in this manner
for the purpose of securing some
information relative to one Of your
articles which appeared under your
credit in the above named paper
some time ago, in reference to a
stream in Virginia which you
stated had been stocked with brown
trout about four years ago, and
which is to be opened to local
fishermen this coming April.
I am a lover of trout fishing and
recently made a trip to the stream
in question, and was impressed
with the possibilities of some. real
sport this spring. However, there
are some questions which I cannot
solve myself namely:
license?
2. Having secured said license,
what assurance has one that he
may fish along said stream with
out fear of mOlestatiOn from land
owner?
3. What point i'm the stream, in
your opinion, will afford the best
possibilities and how can said
point best be reached by trolley
car?
Perhaps this is asking a great
deal of you, but assure you I
will be very grateful for any in
formation you will be kind enough
to favor me with.
Expressing my sincere thanks in
advance,
Yours for sport,
BERNARD M. NEES.
The stream referred to in the
above letter is Cameron run, situat.

officers have been called by
some aggravated resident of the
county only to discover that Re

is causing the trouble.
This time, the youngster was
found in the drivers seat of a
Ford touring car, stalled im u

In a few minutes the storm of
