Tuesday evening two fishermen
landed their rowboat at Hains Point
with a catch of so rock they had
caught off that place.
The only perch being caught are
the little fellows that stay in the
river all the year round. No bass
were reported caught, but the catfish,
as usual, are being hooked all over the
river.
All salt water fishing grounds re-
port good catches of hardheads, and
at Solomons Island and Herring Bay
the trollers have been successful in
landing a good many rockfsh.
For the guidance of those who may
confuse the Virginia law which
permits the catching of bass in that
State on June Is. with the Maryland
law, this column is reprinting q letter
received from l.. Lee LeCompte, State

BASE BALL SECRETS
by Sol Metzger-

WHEN BATTING

Step into a pitched ball, that is,
step forward as you start your
swing. so you can get the mo.
mentum of your body moving
forward, thus throwing the weight
OF your body into the blow as you
swing. The player on the left in
the illustration is stepping forward
just as he starts his swing. He will
get every ounce of his power and
weight into the blow. Hitting is
not an arm-swinging motion. Some
players do use the arms almost
entirely when batting, but they
never have a fat batting average
and invariably drop out of the
minor leagues. if they ever get
that far. The player on the right
is batting with an arm swing. Note
how weak his method is compared
to that of the other player in the
picture.
