MI. CHIEFS OPPOSED
TO EARLIER CLOSING
By the Associated Press.

NEW, YORK, December Big
chiefs Of the National League will go
to the joint meeting of the two major
circuits in Chicago about ten days
hence with bouquet for Commission
er Landis in one hand and a toma-
hawk in the other.
Figuratively speaking, that Is the
situation as seen by John A. Heydler,
president of the senior league, who
forecasts a strong protest from own
ers against the commissioner pro.
posal to abbreviate the playing sea-
son.
Although the league unanimously
favors reelection of Lands to an
other seven-year term, his plan for
closing the season on the last Sun
day in September would be "unsatis
factory and unworkable," says Hey
dler
Three non.playing Sunday teams
in the league would compel too many
double.headers, in the opinion OF the
National League president.
Heydler agrees with Col. Jacob Rup-
pert of the Yankees that a committee
Of three from each of the major cir
cults should be appointed to thresh
out points of friction between the
two leagues"
"As things go now, the leagues are
often at loggerheads just for want of
proper understanding as to each
others viewpoint" explains Heydler.

ROD And STREAM
BY PERRY MILLER.

the Potomac River, and, If they are
shipped by rail they certainly have
to come through Virginia.
Quick Action Is Urged.
This column respectfully calls the
attention of the Virginia authorities
to this matter and earnestly request
that some immediate action be taken.
It Is not only that these game fish
are being offered for sale in Washing
ton, but the size of some of them is a
sad sight for anglers. Many of those
being offered for sale in this city
were APPARENTLY just 9 inches in
length and looked even smaller. With
the heads off these fish would hardly
make q meal for one person. 1t is a
crime.
The United States Government ex-
pends thousands of dollars each year
through the Bureau of Fisheries pro-
viding bass and other species of fish
to replant streams and ponds in
every section of the country. There
are some States which try to back up
the efforts Of the Bureau of Fisheries
by law to help keep their streams pop
ulated with fish, but there are others
who allow its citizens to capture
these gamesters and sell them. These
by the thousands are the first to cry
for help from the Bureau of Fisheries
when the streams do not give up
their usual quota.
Protection Is Essential.
The seven seas are full of a great
many different kinds of edible fish,
many of which are just beginning to
become known as a wonderful family
food and, owing to the protection they
receive by the wide areas of water
they inhabit. are not apt to become
extinct no matter how many of them
are captured. But with the black
bass it is a different proposition. This
best known and highly priced Ameri-
can fish can only be found in our
fresh water streams where the COM
mercial fishermen can use his nets
and reap a harvest, especially at
this time Of the year when these fish
commence to congregate or huddle
for the Winter months.
And to make matters worse, the
fish are not separated, but the small
ones and the big ones are taken, and
those too small to sell are, in a great
many cases, just thrown up on the
banks and left to die. These fish are
packed in barrels and shipped. the
larger ones on top and the smaller
ones underneath.
Congress passed the Halves bill at
It's last session. but 1t did not go half
far enough in affording the proper
protection to these game fish. Con-
gress did pass a law giving protection
to certain migratory birds when 1t
became known that these birds were
fast becoming extinct. Before 1t is
too late Representative Halves and
the others members of Congress who
have the best interest of this game
fish at heart should introduce a bill
to stop all interstate shipment Of bass
and prohibit their sale in every State.
II is only in this way that the bass
will be saved.

champion, in three out of four
matches.
Inasmuch as several members of

With the BowLers

While the Orpheum All-Stars
headed by the Spinella brothers, are
regarded here as the best lot of duck
pinnerS Brooklyn can produce. there
will be no special team picked to send
against them in the intercity bowling
match that will start at Convention
Hall on December 80.
As Convention Hall Is footing the
bill for the Washington end of the af-
fair. it plans to select from it's own
squad of bowlers the men who will
endeavor to uphold the bowling pres
tige of the National Capital here and
in Brooklyn on January 8.
This Convention Hall squad includes
Glenn Wolstenholme, Al Work. Jack
Whelan, Arthur Urban and Joe Null
roe among others. and the squad on
past performances looms strong
enough to take good care of the inter-
city match proposition.
Tentative plans call for these five
men to face the Brooklyn bunch in
team competition. while Wolstenholme
and Work are apt to tackle Phil and
Barney Spinella in the doubles and
Wolstenholme and Phil Spinella sup
ply the singles fireworks.
Although duckpins are not bowled
as extensively in Brooklyn as here,
the Orpheums are quite familiar with
the game. All are accomplished
shooters. The match agreement calls
for the use of Baltimore duckpins and
h-inCh bowling balls such as are used
here, in both ends of the contest.

EPORT from the upper Poto-
mac gives the condition of
that stream as clear and
the Shenandoah a little

cloudy, but now that tneSe
streams will allow the. small and
large bass anglers to whip the
water for their favorite fish with
some degree of success cold weather
comes along and makes it almost
too uncomfortable for the majority
of followers of the rod and reel.
The belief of experts in regard to
fishing is that the striped bass or
rockfish remain in the waters of the
Bay and Potomac River all the year
round If such is the case there still
is a chance that some brave disciple
of Isaak Walton, who is not afraid
of a little cold weather, may have
a treat in store for him. There Is
no doubt but that at this time of
the year all fish put up a gamer
battle than they do during the Sum-
mer months. When the water is
extremely cold or frozen the fish con-
gregate in groups and sort of hiber-
nate. During the cold weather all
fish, no matter what species, seek
deep water and deep holes.
1t would be interesting to learn the
results of a fishing trip to Chesa-
peake Bay at this time. The fish
are there, but, of course, they will
only be found in deep water. and
any one brave enough to venture
forth at this time should go pre-
pared with plenty of weight to get
his line down near the bottom. AS
a matter of fact. the big rock or
"sea horses" as they are sometimes
called. are only found in deep water
at all times of the year. And again
the largest fish caught in the Bay
are not hooked on this side, but on
the Eastern Shore, where the water
is much deeper.
While the water is reported clear
in the upper Potomac it still is
pretty badly discolored in the vicinity
of Washington. A trip around the
Tidal Basin and the lower Speed
way yesterday revealed this fact,
and it will be several days yet be-
fore it is sufficiently clear to fish
for anything but catfish.
The Halves bill, passed at the last
session of Congress to prevent the
interstate shipment Of black bass, Is
not doing any good in so far as Wash
ington is concerned. There are many
fish merchants in this city with
plenty of bass for sale. and these fish
are reported to have come from North
Carolina. In that case the law Is be-
ing violated. because the shipment
would have to come through the State
of Virginia. and Virginia has a law
against the shipment of bass.
The merchants in Washington are
not to blame for handling thes. fish.
for there is no law in the District of
Columbia against selling black bass.
but there surely should be. II bass
are being shipped through Virginia
fhere In certafnly A waV in which II
can be stopped. If they are being
shipped by water they have to enter
