The undersigned. together with all

was delighted 10 see by Sundays Star
that some action has been taken to-
ward enforcing the law in this vi
cinity with respect to the netting "f
bass. Can you do something toward
extending the action to the south of
Occoquan. including ouantico. Chap
pawamSic and Aqua Creeks? In these
creeks bass have been and are now
being netted and sold. and also The
laws respecting placing of nets en-
tirely across creek channels are being
violated daily. These practices have
resulted in spelling TO a great extent

hoods in the past, and unless some
action is taken now To curb the via
iators the large, mouth 'bronZe-backs'

The anglers here have stocked
these waters with bass. thanks TO the
cooperation OF the Bureau of FISHER

these efforts have resulted in fatten-
ing the purses of law VioiatorS. rather
than affording few hours OF inter
estinS sport and recreation for those
who obey the law and carry on with
the other fellows rights in mind.
Keep up the good work you are
doing and remember that you are re

of all the fishermen in this locality.

BIGGER BALL PARKS
URGED RY COMISKEY

By the Associated Press
CHICAGO, February 9.-Passing
resin to the pitcher may help the man
on the mound. but lengthening the
ball park would be more apt to help
both the pitcher and the game. thinks
President Comiskey of the White SoX.
Fans like hitting contends the
"Old Roman" LAS far as l can re-
member, the rule makers have always
had this in mind. The game as it
has been played is a pretty fair game
and il doesn't seem to me it has been
improved by messing up the ball with
resin or any other substance.
II don't know what effect resin will
have on the effectiveness of the pitch
erS, but il seems tile best policy would
have been to let we'll enough alone. I
take ii that the committee had in mind
helping the pitcher. There is one way
to do that and still keep up interest in
batting. and that is to have the ball
parks big enough 10 give the fielders
plenty of ROOM

LONDON, February 3. Joyce
Wethered, the Harry Nardon of
women's golf" is reputed to have
greater concentration that any other
woman player.
Recently she was playing a three
yard putt when railroad train whiz-
zed by within 100 yards of her. She
sank the BAH in spite of the noise.
One of her compa MONS remarked that
he was surprised the train had not
interfered with her play.
What train" she asked.
Miss Wethered is an ardent fisher
woman. enjoys motoring, is keen
tennis pla yer. skates we'll and is fond
of skiing and bobsIedding. AT pres
ent she is in Switzerland enjoying
Winter sports. She refuses TO devote
her entire time to any single form
of sport.
Her refusal to play this year for
the golf championship is said to be
due largely to unwillingness TO give
up all other outdoor activities and
devote her time to golf.

Stallings Superstitious.

Stallings always regarded a piece
of paper lying in front Of the bench
as' an omen Of ill luck. Whenever
he saw one, he developed terrific rage.
His own players and others, knowing
this superstition, used to play tricks
on Stallings. They would come to
the park carrying pieces of paper and
whenever he was not looking dropped
them in front of the bench and then
wander off. This would compel Stall
ings to crawl out of the dugout and
pick the paper up himself. He forgot
all about the game until the last shred
vi paper was gathered from the grass.

In Favor Of Novelties.

/ have always been in favor of nov
elites in base ball. The game at
times becomes TOO serious and there
must be something to offer relief. Base
ball is, after all, a sport and recreation,
and it does not do to take a recreation
too seriously. Gus was the first man
to introduce a novelty into base ball
the first man who showed an original
trend. and since his day there have
been made additions. We have bands.
comedians and various festivities con-
nected with the game on certain days.
All managers are more or less
Superstitious, l guess. I have yet to
see one entirely free from superstition.
When John McCloskey managed the
ST. Louis club he was also extremely
nervous. He became noted for his
nervousness rather than his various
superstitionS. At the start of each
game McCloskey could be found on
one end of the bench. AS the game
advanced McCloSkey continued NOV
ing. He would shove his players along
until finally he had the bench all to
himself every man on his team hav-
ing been forced off and compelled to
seek seat somewhere in foul terri
tory. One of McCloskey's signals was
a Shrill yell. Dead rabbit in high
grass. but l cannot remember just
what this was the signal for.
George Stallings was another MAJ jOr
league manager nervous as we'll as
superstitious He would pick one spot
on the bench and sit there. If the
game got close Stallings' right leg
moved up and down continuously. He
thought that if he kept his leg moving
I'D and down 1t would bring his team
luck.

Gus wore long NhiSkerS and ne used
to signal with them. If Gus pulled the
whiskers once, the batter was to sac
rifice; if he pulled them twice. he was
to hit and run. One day Gus pulled
his whiskers three times. The batter
thought he had made mistake, so let
the pitched ball go by. He looked
again. Gus pulled the whiskers three
times, as before. Puzzled. the batter
did not take his bat off his shoulder
and struck out. When he returned to
the bench Gus roared.
Signal for Home Run
You pulled Your whiskers three
times and I don't know what three
times means" the player tried To eN-
plain but the explanation did not z"
with Gus.
'Phool. Ven ! pulls dree dimes dot
means home run. Dot feller out dere
has god nuddings but vun fast ball and
you could hit d home run easy. After
dis. dree is a home rum" said Gus. and
after that three pulls at Gus's whisll-
ers meant a home run.
Gus also used TO pull his whiskers
when his team was in the field sig
mailing his pitcher in this manner. One
pull meant a IL st ball. two a curve
and three a slow one. In a tough game
Gus pulled 50 hard that his chin got
sore and then he reSorted to chewing
gum. He bought two or three pack
. ages of chewing gum until he had a
Wad the size of a golf ball. If the
/ chewing gum was held on the right
side of the mouth it was a signal TO
the batter to bunt. If the left cheek
protruded. then it meant a hit and run.
II the wad was on neither side of the
mouth, then the batter had the right
to choose his own ball to hit at and to
do as he pleased.
! All verbal orders that Gus gave We're
in the nature of military commands.
for he used army phrases whenever
he could. There used to be q great
deal of fun made over it, but I believ g
it was a good thing for the game. 1t
created new interest and it was a nov
