When the lieutenant coionet ap-
peared upon the scene for his first
time at Chincoteague Island, Va,
where his record bass was beached,
he was given the once over and
thought to be tenderfoot. HIS
guide began to chuckle at the
thought of such light outfit
standing the battle against mon
ster red drums or channel bass.
Why" said the guide, they will
wreck that frail stick and break
your line in a thousand pieces.
Palmer smiled and coolly answered,
Wen see."
Palmer was up to all the tricks
the drum clan had been taught
and before the days outing Was
over he proved to his guides salts
faction that light tackle, when
properly handled, was much more
satisfactory than the heavyweight
outfits he had been accustomed to
see anglers use. The scientific
anglers reputation among the ma
tives of the Eastern Shore Travelled
fast and before his initial stay was
over he was looked upon as the
eighth wonder.
1t was during the lieutenant col
onePs first trip to Chincoteague,
in 1924. that he made his biggest
catch. In five days stay he landed
% bass. ranging from p to A.
pounds. A record that only few
experienced surf casters can boast.
The record fish with which the
WashingtOnian beat all COM
petitOrs was taken last June. The
official record shows that the
bIue-ribbOn winner was lured on
moss bunker or menhaden and
weighed an even 81 pounds. The
outfit consisted of a homemade
rod, of the Iightest type, MeisseI-
back reel and an Ashaway line
Of ~ pound test.
His nearest competitor was
George r. Bullem, with a 50-pound
bass taken at Koplin's Shoals, Va.
This fish was also taken on moss
bunker.
The third largest bass to be Sc
lected in the countrywide contest
was taken at Ocean City, y. j., by
Vaughn T. Bornet and weighed 70
pounds ounces. Unlike the other
| two winners the runner up was
| lured on shedder crab.

In reply to a question: "What

the worlds greatest all-around

But, it is added, Charley smiled

Hoff is serious and jovial by

to pose for a Charleston picture

You don't believe that this youth,
he's twenty-three, who knew little
or nothing about dancing until he
arrived in this country from Nor
way a few months ago. has become
expert in Americas most difficult
popular dance?
There are four girls in Washing

right hands and vouch for the fact.
Charley danced them to the point
Of exhaustion-wit Charleston
steps. Then, barely warmed up. he
launched into solo performance.
Cl1arIey's wife, . winsone

This Is mentioned to prevent

close to home, wherever home
may happen to be. Who
wouldn't. on his honeymoon?
Georgetown University students
may be blamed for Charley's adj
diction to the Charleston. Some
