mentioned Oy writers as lar BACK as
800 AID. One Of the best books, but
by no means the best known now
adays. ever written on artificial flies
was written by a woman in 14S6. Her
name was Juliana Barnes, and she was
prioress of nunnery. Coming to
more recent times, We find Izaak
Walton using flies of a pattern very
similar, if not identical. 10 some of
those we now flip on our American
streams.
The manner in which the Royal
Coachman. Americas favorite fly, was
named is interesting. The inventor of
the Coachman was Tom Bosworth,
Kings-George ". William ", and
Queen Elizabeth, whom we will call
King because she really was one.
Bosworth was an expert with the
whip, and many tales are told Of his
prowess. He was also. as you might
imagine, quite as SlSillful with the
fly rod. He devised the little collec-
ton of colored feathers which soon
became famous as the Coachman fly.
Later a bit of scarlet was added. and
it became the Royal Coachman.
The Professor fly was actually in
vented by professor. His name was
ing one day and found he had left
his flies at home, he made a make.
shift one out of part OF a buttercup,
some wool thread from his stocking
and the wing of dried leaf. The fly
was successful, and later was COM
mercially produced.
The Parmachenee Belle is one of
the most effective flies we have. and
it, is well known that this fly does not
initiate any known winged creature.
1t is made in the imitation of the fin
of a, trout! A Maine fisherman was
once discussing flies with his guide,
and the guide remarked that the fin
Of trout always had been a taking
lure. SO the angler set to work and
tied a fly in imitation of the trout's
fin, and named it after a Maine lake.
And this is how we got the beautiful
Belle fly.
Thus 1t is easy to see that not all of
our good flies are limitations of living
flies. Why the fish want to eat them

LOS ANGELES. August 24.-Nine-
teen-year-old Fidel Labarba. who
DEBATED frankie Genaro of New York
in a 10-round bout here last Saturday,
plans to remain a boxer only long
enough to- finance his education at
Stanford University at which he plans
to enter in 1926, to fit himself for a
medical career.
Cenaro was twice victor over the
late Pancho Villa. Articles signed be-
fore Saturdays bout stated that the
bout was for the fyweight champion
ship of the world. Labarba' s victory,
accordingly, made him a desired acqui-
sition among promoters and dozens of
offers were received by his manager.
Talk of d return match between La
barba and Genaro predominated in
fight circles here. Phil Bernstein, man
ager for Genaro, is willing and an
xious to stay here until he has OBJ

given "A Rhodes scholarship after he
had won most of the amateur cham

Known as a man of pleasing per

bearing, Eagan made hosts of friends
among Englishmen of all classes.
Tom Webster. the noted cartoonist,
made him the subject of one of his
most amusing sketches. The Prince
of Wales once had him to dinner as
his personal guest.
The Marquis of Clydesdale. son and
heir to the Duke of Hamilton, also

The so-called scandal in the Southern
Association is too hazy right now for
an expression of opinion to be timely.
1t Is in the hands OF Judge Lands,
and what information the high COM
missioner OF base ball has to make
public will establish whether this was
merely another instance of player
talking through his hat or whether it
was something more serious.
The Western League is another of
the minors which still wage a real
battle Tor the pennant, and the DeS
Moines club, which has taken the lead,
is so well liked by some of the other
cities of the circuit that they are be-
ginning to say Des Moines will beat
Denver out. Denver looked very good

20 have settled down to regular pen
nant base ball after fussing around
for while, as teams will in the early
part of the year. But ii is not show
ing championship form now.
York is holding it's own in the New
York League, where there is another
hot fight on.
Waterbury is getting the edge in
the Eastern League. Hartford and
New Haven had better get a move on
If they expect to stop the boys in
the western corner of the State.
Waterbury always has finished well
and there is just about enough ad-
vantage left to carry the team through
the early part of September.
All the fight left in the American
Association is for second place and st.
Paul is making every effort to land
that. The Minnesotans will have to
go strong because Indianapolis. in
spite OF the fact that it has not been
unwilling to part with players. has
shown enough speed to let the remain
der of the association know that it is
out for the place.
Toronto cannot catch Baltimore in
the international League unless st puts
on more steam. 1t cannot be said that
Jack Dunn had all the strength of the
league this year. He let some of his
best go and then went out and got
something in their place.
San Francisco is a sure pennant win
ner on the Pacific coast and is holding
up its players at prices as high as they
were before the league assumed the
modified draft. So what earthly diff
ference does II make whether a league
is no draft, or d modified draft?

Traynor's third base play is SUI
perior TO that shown by that OF New

offs at shortstop. Kelly can hold his
own with either Rawlings or Moore
at second base. Grantham probablr
is a better first baseman than Terr,
which seems TO be astonishing in view,
of the transfer made when he wa

fumbled too much. At first he seems

The Giants were very gIum after
losing the second game of the Sunday
double-header. In some respects il
was a harder jolt TO them than los
ing both games on Saturday. After
their downfall on Saturday they had
a chance left to come back Sunda
and make the series even-Stephen and
win the rubber on Monday. The New
Yorks were clearly outplayed in both
games on Saturday and in the second
game on Sunday. They won the firs
game on Sunday by superior base bal
Pittsburgh now has won 19 games
and lost 10 in the Last this season
This is new departure for the Pi-
rates. Hitherto they have not always
been strong on the road. They have
won the majority Of games on their
own grounds this year and they have
an actual gain OF two full games over
the Giants in the present series, which
at this stage of the race, means a
better chance for Pittsburgh to win
the National League championship
than the Pirates have had since 1927.

game on ice for the Browns, who
turned out 5-to-2 victory over the
