The above statement should al1O
apply to the rockfish family. for
they are suspicious lot and
scamper off at the least movement
above the surface. So. II Is easy to
understand why some fisher folk
prefer cloudy water over water Of
mirror qualities.
Roc fish or striped bass, Of ~
dunn size, furnish real sport for
anglers acquainted with the habits
Of the fighting tribe. and according
to the best informed fishermen,
who trail the stripers from the time
they make their appearance IN the
early summer until cold weather
causes them to abandon local
waters, the best angling Is yet to
come.
The big rock cannot be expected,
ais they have long since departed.
and the angler not satisfied with
pan size fish. ranging from one to
three pounds. must follow the
gamester to his native heath, salt
water.
The ideal fishing grounds and
where the angler Is expected To
have his best luck Is iii the
Georgetown channel, close 10 the
edge Of the grass, on the east
side Of the river.
The biggest catches are always
made between the first red t1tfp y.
below the railroad bridge, down to
the Steel Plant. Sandy bottoms
should be hunted out, as rockfish
seldom feed along the mud This
can be accomplished BY sounding
with 81 drop line.
One ingenious angler informs
this column that the best scheme to
follow in determining the rivers
bed is to hollow out the bottom OF
q sinker and fill the open space
with packing grease. When the
weight Is lowered ana reaches the
bottom whatever substance forms
below clings to the filling and
when brought to the surface shows
the angler whether or not h3 -
properly located.
During the late summer and fall
rockfish take to both. bloodworms

Beautiful comradeships were born
at the Manor club when the Beaver
Dam and Manor golf teams cele.
brated the home clubs victory over
the visitors. 1T was hard to say
after 10 o'clock which team was the
victor. Every one was felicitating
thu other fellow in hearty approval
The records indicate that Manor
won by 1914 points to 51a points.
And that caused Manor to be down
hearted. The fact that they had 50
decisively walloped a visiting team
seemed to weigh heavily on their
various consciences and they at.
tempted to atone for their lack OF
golfing hospitality.
Beaver Dam was smothered In
the first three fOursOnes. The
Manor club swept the first three.
and that gave them 8 8 to 0 lead.
Since there could only be IS
points to the engagement. Manor
was looking forward TO an over
whelming victory. And they look.
ed fairly well.
One of the features Of the after
noon was that Al Landvoigt, play
ing for the winners, came home in
eight puts. He hoIed a mashie
from 100 yards off the green and
then proceeded to take eight con-
secutive one-putt green's.
Out at the Indian Spring Club,
Fred Whalen, musical golfer, won
the monkey tournament after a
struggle that was heroic. He took
a IS. Homer Pope likewise got a
45 but was taken down a peg be-
cause he forgot to stay for the
Dlay-off. Bob Stunz was third with
SO and four were tied with 52's.
They were Perry Hoover, Fred c..

Col. H. A. Knox, and Hoover won
the play-off in the clubhouse.

HOY DlJ

BY Louis A. Dougher

NEW YORK, Aug. SO.-Dutch
Ruether Is with the Yankees today
but the Yankees are going to pay
considerable more than the waive
price of $4,000 for him. It IL under.
stood that, when the world series
Is "a thing Of the past and the big
leaguers begin planning for an
other season. Waite Hoyt will be
turned over to the Washington
club and go to Tampa with the
Griffs next February.
A year ago Veach and Ferguson
were obtained by the Griffs at the
waiver price. They were needed
for the approaching world series.
So was Spencer Adams, who got
his share of the world series prize.
During the winter Adams was
turned. over to the Yankees who
had insisted on getting him for
Veach and Ferguson.
The same sort of a deal will
bring Hoyt to the Griffs for next
season. He has been on the outs
and Is anxious to get away from
the Yankees. Bucky Harris thinks
he can handle Hoyt well enough to
make him a big winner in the
Capital.
Several times the subject Of
HOyt has been preached to the
New York club, but always to no
avail. He was not to be obtained
In any sort of a deal.
Lately, however, IIoyt and Hug
gins have come to the parting Of
the ways. The league rule for
bidding trades between clubs DIT
this time of the year stood in the
way of an out-and.out trade Of
Ruether for Hoyt. Clark Griffith
had to call for waivers, giving the
weaker clubs first call on Ruether's
services.
One by one, beginning with the
tail-end Red Sox, they all waived
until the leaders were able to oh
tain him. Then, because of the
rule against trades, Hoyt could not
be turned over to the Griffs until
the close of the season. AS mat.
ters now stand, Hoyt will get his
share Of the world series prize and
glory and find himself with the
Griffmen when the 1927 campaign
rolls around.

CHICAGO, June 22.-Joseph 10 Pa

one of the worlds greatest Catholic

Commander D. r. Kelly. who called
attention to the fact that the Far

and conducted two hospitals of 1000
beds and school accommodating

Mr.. Hung is known as the <Rocke-
Teller of China" and his family has
been Catholic for 800 years. The
Chinese pilgrim delivered brief ad-
i"ess, in which he expressed the hope
that the Eucharistic Congress would
some day be held in China.
"Why have / come so far from
home? he asked. ITO honor Christ
and tell you for the apostolic delegate
in China the thanks sent by 100000
Catholics in my country.
Christ Is the king of kings. The
king of all nations. we honor Him.
II hope in a few years we may
honor Christ with a euchartstic con-
gress in China. IT will make me very
happy to meet you all at a dinner like
this in China. This Is sample.
