Every outhelder must have good
eyes, so that he may judge fly balls
and ground balls accurately. An
outfelder who cannot do this is
worthless. The second qualification
is that an outhelder have good legs
so that he can cover a lot of ground,
and cover it speedily, when chasing
fly balls. The third essential thing
for an outfelder to have is good
throwing arm. No other player on
the team is required to. get the su-
preme power out of his arm that an
outfelder is likely to be called upon
to deliver at any moment in game.

According to recent claim, New
York City is the greatest fishing CEN
ter in the world for anglers devoted
to the sport of deep sea- surf and bay
fishing. This statement is based on
angling records and visible proofs
carefully observed and does not refer
TO the commercial fisheries, although
that branch is of great magnitude.
While the host of fresh water
on account of their unnoticed de-
parture for various lakes and streams
IN New York and adjoining States,
the Herald says the activities of sea
hshers are to some extent apparent
to any person noting the movements
of the fishing fleet An angling
armada numbering hundreds, includ-
ing the small as we'll as large boats,
is catering to the wants Of many
thousands of fishermen.
The development of this fishing
feet has been a matter of pride to
saltwater fishers, and to those of
the veteran class who can readily re-
member the conditions of 80 to 40
years ago the change seems little short
of marvellous. Then the fish were
more plentiful, but the few boats de-
signed to carry anglers to offshore
grounds were so primitive, so poorly
equipped for making the passengers
comfortable, that there can be no
comparison.
Modern inventions have done much
to make this change possible; the de-
sire on the part of boat captains to
give the best service that money can
buy must be given due credit, and,
finally, the increasing host OF sea
fishermen willing to pay the price
justifies an outlay beyond the day
dreams of the most optimistic of
former generation of earnest, good
tntentioned owners of fishing craft in
New York waters.
AS further evidence of the popu-
larity of this branch Of outdoor
sport the same paper carries a whole
page of advertising of small and large

ing grounds. Some of the boats even

NO CHANCE LEFT
 FOR HARBORS BILL
Measure Contains Provisions : For Much Work In. Alabama
fWashinpton Rnieanl

WASHINGTON, May 31. - The rivers and harbors bill, containing im- portant provisions for Alabama, is dead as far as this session of Congress is concerned. The rule committee has de- clined to report a special order in favor of measure and time is too limited to push it through on it's own strength.
 The bill contains provisions for the completion of the survey of the Ten nessee, the construction of Dam No. 1, of the Muscle Shoals series, the deep ening and widening of Mobile bay, and the improvement of Bayour La Batre.
 Failure of the bill is attributed to the attitude of representatives Dempsey of New York and Lineberger of Cali fornia, who withheld support of the measure because it does not contain highly expensive provisions for prof ects in their states.
 It is regarding as doubtful that the bill, in the December session, can be put across handicapped by a bulk of legislation having precedence over it.
