In the course of the Women's Dis
trict Tennis League tournament this

compete on account Of a serious
illness from which she has not vet
fully recovered. Virginia Olmsted

There they had SO girls entered in the

was Ba1tinore's first affair of the
kind, and it was Washington's second.
Some allowance must be made for
that fact-but even at that our local
playground authorities can be Justly
proud Of the enthusiastic spirit which
is evidenced by so large an entry list
One of the high lights of the meet
was the basket ball throw made by
katherine Jones of Iowa avenue. who
later was disqualified because she
was found to be entered in the wrong
class.
She was listed in the 100-pound
Glass, and should have been in the l15-
pound group. But this does not alter
the fact that she threw the basket
ball "a feet inches, breaking all local
records for basket ball throw in the
history Of playground athletics and
bettering her nearest competitor by 9
feet inches. Miss Jones' record was
scratched, due to her disqualification.
but 1t stands as an indication of what
may be expected from her in future
meets.
The mistake in entering her seems
TO have come about through inaccur-

athlete has gained about five pounds

week ago. 1t was regretted deeply by

The match between Johnston and

was keenly on edge and from the
start he was ploWing burrows in the
opposing court with his powerful fore
handlers. La Coste fought desperately
and carried the score to deuce in four
games, but he could not prevail
against Johnston's onslaught. The
second set was the same story and In
exactly half an hour Johnston took
the two of them.
In the third set, Johnston began to
tire and lose control while La Coste
played better tennis as the match pro-

the thirteenth game after Johnston
had led at 800 and won the four

Another reason for night feeding.
especially in very hot weather, is that
the fish food, such as minnows and
parasites as we'll as other marine life,
remains inactive during the sunny
part of the day.
Fishing for bass at night is best
done with lures treated with luminous
paint, but any light lure. and even
white flies, may be used successfully
Moonlight nights are best. and you
will find the bass very close to shore,
sometimes in water so shallow that
you can see their dorsal fins cutting
the water as they chase food.
A friend of mine does almost all Of
his trout fishing at night in midsum-
mer. He makes fine catches on
streams where others, who fish by
day, have little luck.
The wall-eyed pike is the finest ex-
ample of a night feeding fish. In fact,
his eyes are so large-from which he
gets his name-he can see read
lily at night. The wall-eyed is
primarily night feeder. and is espe-
cially active in the Fall of the year in
