ROD AND STREAM
by PERRY MILLER.

There still are number of anglers
who cling to the small hope that
there will be a few more days of
good fishing before the weather be-
comes too cold These anglers can
be seen along the Speedway. in the
many coves and creeks in Virginia
and Maryland. and others trying to
land some of the striped bass or rock
from Chesapeake Bay.
1t has been a long time since so
poor a fishing season for the small
mouth bass angler has been had.
From the opening Of the season last
June the water Of the Shenandoah
has been muddy most of the time.
there being only a few days when
the water was sufficiently clear to
permit the anglers to try for bass.
The upper Potomac has been almost
as bad, the Monocacy River with its
tons of mud discoloring the Potomac
from that point down and the Shenan'
doah helping TO a great extent to
keep the river muddy between Harp
ers Ferry and Dickersons.
One fisherman who has been visit
ing the Shenandoah in the vicinity of
Riverton and Front Royal for the
n3Sl " Years Stku ilC iloA ltS "a
known a Summer during that time
when he could not fish there on his
vacation. but that during the past
fishing season he had put off his va
cation from week to week in hope to
get a report that the river was In
good condition for the angler. Such
a report never came.
The disappointments suffered by the
fxass anglers In the upper Potomac
and Shenandoah Rivers have been
more than offset by the exceDtionailF
sood fishing in salt water. This type
Of ang ing, preferred by many be
csuse they do not have to contend
with muddy water, has been the best
e.xperienced for many seasons past
After the usual run OF hardheads
snot and trout the bay anglers were
surprised and gratified by the un
,sual large run of bluefish. During
Sentember and October the bay
seemed fairly alive with blueHSh. all
eager to attack the many dineren'
lures offered them. Many catches
were 3 and 4 Founders. AS a matter
of fact. the majority of bluefish landed
average from 2 to 8 pounds. and each
one landed put up game fight. They
attacked In a vicious manner ano
seemed to resent being puileo from
the water much more than a rock
twice their size.
Contrary to the general belief thai
the striped bass or rock is migra
tory fish and in the Spring there Is
run" Of them to headwaters and 9
Fall run" to the sea. it is now held
that these Ash stay for the most par'
in home waters throughout the year
They have been caught, for instance
in the Chesapeake Bay at all seasons
Of the year. though in the cold Win
ter months they undoubtedly seek the
deeper waters where the temperature
is more even. The striped bass Is
one of the most beautiful and grace
fuI flsh that swims. 1t has seven
stripes running longitudinally on ito
sides, the highest stripe being most
distinct. It is an errenerous impres'
sion that the number OF stripes on
the sides Of a rockfish indicate lte

Also 1t IS considered that the ex-

rounds more closely fought. At
present an overseas player nominated
by his national association Is pro-
tected against meeting another star
from his own country In the early
rounds, but he may be put out Of
competition by a crack player Of
another country.
Thus Patterson and Anderson of
Australia. could not meet early in
the competition, but either might
have to play Tilden on LaCoste in
the first round.
To prevent this, the British gov
erning body is considering scheme

VALUE OF OLYMPICS
DOUBTED BY BRITON
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. December 3.--Lord Bir-

dubious as to the value of the Olympic
Games.
On the other hand, the Duke of
Sutherland, chairman of the British
Olympic Association, is of the opinion
that these international contests
serve to tighten the bonds of interna-
tional fellowship more than anything
else.
Lord Birkenhead expressed his
doubt regarding the games at the
annual dinner at the British Olympic
Association, where the preliminary
plans for the Antwerp meeting in 1928
were being formulated.
II wonder" said Lord Birkenhead,
eff these great international competi-
tions are worth while. Do they do
good? If they promote the spirit
which leads to the courage and spirit
of youth, as against the evil miasma
of war, it is a great achievement"
