One day he and several others got
into one of the Capt Hazard boats at
the long pier and dropped anchor off
Herring Bay. In a very short time
they had all the fish any fellow could
wish for and came ashore with their
baskets loaded down with some very
fine hardheads. trout and Norfolk
spots. There never was any disposi-
ton on the. part of the fish to stop
taking the bait, but, like real fisher
men, they quit and came ashore. The
next day Roland decided that he would
try the same place again, but this
time the fish were absent, and they re-
turned to the shore without results.
Who was Izaak Walton? Every
fisherman designates himself fol-
lower of this fisherman sage and in
Vulnerable societies have taken his
name. A great many of these dis
ciples are not aware that Walton is
the author of THE Complete Angler
being a discourse of fish and fishing.
This volume was published in Eng
land in 1858 and so great was its pop
ulerity that it went into five editions
before his death. The first editions
are rare and are now highly priced.
The great charm of this book is due
perhaps to Walton's belief that fish
ing is an art and the fact that he
writes of it'as such. He calls fishing
THE contemplative mans recrea-
ton
Born August 9, 1898, in the town of
Stafford, England, he early took to
fishing in the neighboring brooks,
carrying a hazel rod and horsehair
line. At 16 he became an apprentice
to an ironmonger and for a while
fishing was set aside. AS more leis-
ure came, however, he again took
up his art, buying a horse to take
him in pursuit of streams.
Walton taught the use Of a great
variety of bait. He mentions worms,
curious sort Of paste, wild fruits,
and even berries. How he would be
startled at the artificial bats used by
today'S angler. As to his methods of
fishing, however, and some of the
fisherman's lore he unfolds, many of
his ideas are just as good today as
they We're then.

SINGLE G. WINS RACE
OVER TWO OLD FOES

By the Associated Press
CLEVELAND, August 22.-Any
belief that Single G, the 15-year-old
son of Akierson Wilkes-Little Gyp is
through was dispelled here today
when he added another free-for all
pace to his long string, defeating his
most consistent rivals, Margaret Dill
Ion and Hal Malone.
The three heats, the first of which
went to Single G. and the second to
Margaret Dillon, produced some of
the fastest quarters of the year. The
iast halves of the two heats won by
the Old campaigner were paced in SO
seconds each, and the final quarters
OF these miles in % 2-5 seconds.
Ed Allen trailed Margaret Dillon in
the f1rst heat to the far turn, where he
pulled out with Single G and won
easily after a spectacular stretch
nn1sh. He faltered in the next
heat trying to overcome Hal Malone
and was passed by the field. Setting
his own pace in the final mile he
withstood the challenge of the Walter
Cox mare and won by half length
in q fierce driving finish

If Walter Johnson had not been out
of the lineup for a long spell on our
last trip we now would have q tidy
advantage over the Philadelphia club.
However, that is all water over the
dam. The club now is in fine con-
dition. We won three games while
the Athletics were losing as many,
and that ought TO let us turn into the
stretch in front.
Veach and Ferguson ought to help
a lot. The former still is a slugger
of the first water. He is hitting we'll
over 800 and should be able to aid
our attack. Ferguson, considering
the weak clubs with which he has
pitched, has an excellent record. He
showed up well with the Red Sox
last year. Pitching for a club with
the punch and strong defense of
Washington he should soon acquire
winning ways.
Champs Have Proved Glass.
Fans in many places around the
circuit are just beginning, apparent
ly. to realize that Washington has a
really great ball club. When we won
the pennant last season many fol-
lowers of the game declared we We're
lucky They We're all pulling for US,
L know, but at that they thought we
mad all the best Of the breaks when
we got down in front.
The same Cry seemed to so up
after we beat the Giants in the world
series. We still were clasSed as a
lucky club. When the Giants got
a big early lead on US in the long
Spring exhibition series the 'I-Told-
Hou-So' chorus became very vocal.
1t slowed down a bit when we came
from behind and tied up the series
with the New Workers.
Then when the league season open

to bet that we wouldn't finish one,
two. three in the chase for the pen
nant There didn't seem to be so
many outside the loyal fans of Wash
ington who thought we would be in
the thick of the fight all the way.
Whether base ball followers believe
we will win another pennant or not,
l am sure they are now willing to
concede that Washington has real
championship club and one that has
fought for and earned whatever it has
obtained in the national paStime.
We're out to win another pennant and
I'm certain we will do SO.
Thinks Griffs Are Better.
This isn't by way Of. belittling the
Athletlcs. Philadelphia has a great
club, hard-fighting and game combi-
nation. But | think Washington has
a greater club. I don't look for the
Mackmen to crack" in the sense that
they will be put out of the race. They
Rave shown they can weather a storm
as good club must and they should
rapidly recover from the slump which
marked the opening of their Western
trip in St. Louis.
But we made a big gain on them
during that series and cut the Phila-
uelphla lead somewhat sooner than |
expected. l see no reason why Wash
lngton should not keep on playing the
same consistent. winning ball which
marked our efforts all season. We are
not foolishly oyerconfident, but we
have the confidence of knowing our
strength and are not foolish enough
TO underestimate the Athletics or any
other club in the league.
The race this season has been
humdinger. 1t promises to be hectic
right down to the finish. We now are
sitting pretty" as the saying is, and
planning on clinching the pennant
when we hook up with the Athletics.

The first President OF the United
States was great fisherman, and ir
this respect differs greatly from
President Coolidge. Lovers of fish
ing argue that his fame for truth
fulness is rightfuliy due. because he
never told-a fish story. after he be-
came President, the first Executive
found frequent respite from the cares
OF office along the banks of a shady
stream.
st. Patrick of Ireland was another
devotee of fishing, and Michael An
gelo was another. Wallace, the great
Scotch national hero. loved to fish,
and Lord Nelson was also an ardent
angler. He even fished with his left
hand after losing his right.
