QUINN WITH ATHLETICS
Veteran Pitcher Has Changed Rig League Uniform For the Ftfth Time Since 1909.

New York, July 22. (By NEA Service)-Old Jack Quinn has been claimed by the Athletics at the waiver price. Thus Old Jack Quinn, 40, and a major leaguer since 1909, with the exception of a few seasons, changes his big time uniform once again,
 The going of Quinn to the Mack ian forces makes the fifth major league club he has played with. He started with the Yankees, then went to Rochester in the International league, took a fling with Baltimore in the Federal and Vernon, Pacific coast, coming back to the big show with the White Sox.
 From there he landed with the Tanks again, later being traded to the Red Sox. He was with the lat ter outfit three full seasons dLrinE which he pitched an acceptable article of ball turning nice records each year considering the teams he had behind him.
 He got off to a sensational start this campaign but of late hasn't been going as well. Mack, however, figures the old fellow is still good for a few victories and thinks he'll help to bolster up the wavering staff of Athletic hurers,

 Fishing Baits ! There are two fishing baits -- natural and artificial. The natural consists of the min now, worm, crawfsh. frog, grass hopper hellgramite, roach. potato bug and a few other sh-fatteners.
 Of the nonpalatable or artificial variety there is the wooden plug "hirllng spoon, phantom, pork rind, spinner, fly and myriads of combt- nations of these make believes.
 For still-tshing~ from boat or shore failure of the use of natural bait means an empty creel.
 Natural bait means live bait. Bait with a kick. The more kick in minnow, frog, millroach or potato pug the greater speed on the part Of the fish in acquiring its days proyender.
 Artificial lures there is every Vhlng from the sawed-off end of baseball bat bristling with gang hooks to the delicate eyed fly.
 One thing is sure and that is when you catch game fish on a manufactured bait you do so by tooling the fish into thinking this lure was good to eat.
 From observation and experience have learned that the lighter the lure the less splash when it striks the water -- and the best chance to deceive the quarry. Also that the more action from your lure the more attractive it is to the lighting tin. And that the more hooks on the bait the less that bait's action. Contrary 10 the belief of many l am inclined 10 think d single hook is d deadlier killer than d gang. | believe the unobstructed point of the barbless hook will take more tsh than the barbed hook.
 There is d distinct advantage in using the single hook type of arti- ficial lures you can put back, unhurt, the smaller fish as we'll as enjoy tte sport of catching, and still return to the water, game fish that you cannot use.
 It is a safe prediction to make that within a very few years the great majority of both game and pan fish will be taken. with more real sport, on single hook, and hu- rlane casting lures.

TILDEN'S STATUS
Player Writer Rule is Again Bone of Contention Between Tennis Cham- pion and Amateur Association.

New York, July 22 R-The ques- tion of the amateur status of Bill Tiden, tennis champion, is being discussed again.
 It is all over the player writer rule which forbids players to write for money about the tournaments in which they engage. He began cir cumvcnting the rule last week at St. Louis by having himself interviewed by an agent Of the syndicate which handles his writings.
 Notice several weeks ago that he would do this attracted no particu- lar comment, but when the inter- views began to appear. comments on the propriety of his action arose.
 Officials of the United States Lawn Tennis association are reticent, but to one unnamed authority is attri- buted the suggestion that new con- sideration may be given to his anna teur status in the near future.

HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE AT
 STAKE AGAIN TONIGHT
Charley (PhiD Rosenberg Fight: Challenger Eddie Shea of
 Chicago Tonight

New York. July 22 GP,-The worlds bantamweight ring crown, which has been toppled from the heads of six champions in five years will be at stake again tonight when Charley (PhiD Rosenberg attempts to retain 1t against the challenge of Eddie Shea of Chicago in a fifteen round fight to a decision.
 The bout, postponed a week to give the champion more time to train, marks his greatest test since he drew the mantle from the shoul- ders of Eddie tCannonball Martin four months ago.
 The championship started on its rapid transit journey when Joe Lynch dethroned Pete Herman in 1920. A few months later Herman came back to oust Lynch, but the New Orleans boy was able to hold his perch at the peak only two months when a pugilistic storm from Jersey City blef him off and placed tommy BuiE on top.
 Less than year later Lynch won back the crown. He finally suc- cumbed to the attack of Abe Gold stein. Nine months later Goldstein gave way to Martin. whose grip was good enough to hold the laurcls for only three months.
 Supporting the championship bat tie, which opens at 9 o'clock stand ard time, at the Nelodrome A. C., will be three eight round matches. Bushy Graham, Utica bantam, will box the former champion, Abe Gold stein; Phil Kaplan, New York vel terweight, will face Bobby Barrett of Philadelphia, and Johnny Drew. Worcester featherweight, will square off against Mike Dundee of Rock Island. III.
