Chesapeake Beach, announces that he
is ready with his boats for the an
glers. lie says that he expects the
fish to.be active in taking bait during
the present week, owing to the warm
weather. He says also that rock have
commenced to bite at the beach. but
only the small ones.
l.. S. Lancaster paid this column
visit last Thursday, bringing with him
several fine roe shad caught at Rock
Point Lancaster knows about every
thing that goes on at the Point, be-
ing practically the sole proprietor of
that place. He said there were more
fish at Rock Point this Spring than
there have been for years past and
that al! the boats were in readiness
for those desiring to try their luck
either on the Wicomico or Potomac
River The advantage of fishing at
this place is that there are two rivers
and that there is a difference Of about
one hour in the tide. In other words.
high tide in the Potomac is one hour
approximately before high tide in
the Wicomico. Therefore, if the fish
are not biting in one stream the
angler has the choice OF pulling up
anchor and fishing in the other,
"A TepOFt cOnlIIlS from iflSIlelU. on
the eastern shore of Chesapeake Bay,
says that the hardheadS are so
numerous that It large basketfull may
be purchased for 80 cents. This years
fishing season promises to be one Of
the best in recent years. The bay
and lower Potomac are reported to be
full of rockfiSh and hardheads. This
condition is everywhere and not at
several points. as in past seasons. AT
this time of the year, in addition to
bloodworms as bait, it is well to be
provided with a small quantity of
fresh shrimp. The hardheads have
been taking the shrimp, and with the
white bait if a rockfish comes along
he also is very apt to make lunge
at it.
An interesting and amusing fish
story comes from the French River
Bungalow Camp.in Ontario, 215 miles
north of Toronto. Joe Waubemimi.
an Indian guide. who was going up
the river, sighted strange creature
with four strange globes of different
colors rising from it, zig-zagging
along the surface of the water. Joe
said, Darn queer ting l see on river
spirits" Joe was much chagrined
when he learned afterward that jocu-
lar fishermen had attached four toy
balloons to a big 12-pound pike.

The last run of the tide herring will
be closely followed by the rockfsh.
1t is said that the rock feed on these
small fish.
It has been some years since the
| Potomac River has been in such per
! feet condition for the angler as it IS
today. During the months of April
and May in recent years the heavy
rains caused the river to become so
muddy that fishing for anything but
catfish was out of the question. For
tunately this year this condition has
been conspicuous by it's absence. The
river is so clear today that it is posi-
bic to see an object several feet under
water.
There are at present in the river
! perch, herring, shad, rock and plenty
| Of catfish. During the past week the
perch have not been biting so we'll
! This perhaps is due to the cold wa
ter. Last Sunday the river was full
of herring, but these fish have fallen
back to their homes in salt water
Now and then an angler will land a
/ few pan size rockfiSh, but the run of
I rock has not started vet and those
caught may be called the advance
guard.
Reports Iast week stated that the
best catch of perch was landed in the
Georgetown Channel opposite the
brewery at the upper end of the Speed
way. viii Reynolds, known to all To-
( cal anglers, corroborateS the report
Reynolds says that the perch caught
at this place were of a good size.
When the perch start to fall back
downstream after laying their spawn
the shores of Analostan Island is one
of the best places along the river to
! fish for them. There the angler finds
! both rocks and grass, and when a
| tempting piece of bait is dropped
right off the grass the result is usually
very gratifying.
The best reports for some years
| back come in from all salt water fish
! ing grounds. The croakers or hard
! heads, have been biting vigorously
during the past week and catches
ranging from 20 to so have been made.
| This year these fish seem to have
reached all fishing grounds at about
the same time, and in large numbers.
| The rockfish in the bay commenced
to bite, but those landed have been of
| the pan size.

Veterans Are Declining.

There are bali players on the
Browns who are about through so
far as their top effectiveness is con-
cerned. and if the management Of
the team refuses to recognize that
fact they will not win a pennant
this year and certainly won't win one
next year
I'm not going to tell what I think
those faults are, because that WOULD
be tipping off my hand and so far
as I am concerned the Browns can
play as they are at present until the
end of the season. l know I'll beat
them to a frazzle if they do. Knock
ing home runs on the st. Louis
grounds will not win either st. Louis
team a pennant, and I guess both
of them are finding it out, because
from what the players say there IS
a screw loose in both camps.

Team Has Been Disappointing.


While it was not expected that the
Browns would start the season by
trimming every rival club, it was
thought the team might win ma
ioritv of games in each series from
The Western clubs. When Cleveland
knocked the Browns overheard the
fans were toppled off their pins in
ST. Louis. They haven't recovered
since. because the dose has been re
peated in city after city, until on the
first visit TO the East the Athletics
are giving the Browns the worst
trimming of all.
Chicago. Cleveland and Detroit each
won five games from the Browns on
the first round of the Western scraps
and the best that st. Louis did was
TO win three from Detroit.
st. Louis had figured that Detroit
and Cleveland would he thrashed
somewhat easily this year, though
they expected some fight from Chi
cago. The Western teams that IL
was anticipated the Browns might
heat have been far too much for
them and the East has begun as il
il means to be still tougher
Pitchers Below Expectations.
The st. Louis pitchers are not
meeting expectations and their de
velopment is not coming on as hoped
for. Schang was taken from New
York to try to bring something out
Of them, but has been unable to do
so. There is an 0utfield weakness
whioh is apparent enough when fast
teams are playing against st. Louis,
and the infield not only has been un-
settled, but has played ball without
good judgment and without paying
much attention to the manager.
Sisters loss of grip on the team
has been more apparent in the East
than in the West, and to add to all
the rest. there is an impression that
the team would have been better off
had some of the trades gone through
which were offered last Winter.
