Shark Fishing
Most Exciting
Struggle May Continue For
An HOur-Greatest
Surf Sport
200 FOUNDERS CAUGHT

Shark fishing has started along
the Delaware and New Jersey
coast. This is purely thrill propos-
ition, the shark having no value
for food, but in supplying excite
ment and providing contest it
has the edge on any other sort OF
fishing along the Atlantic surf
lire.
The rules of the game provide
that the shark must be taken with
rod and line in the surf. 1t Is a
popular sport in the long stretch
below Rehoboth, where there are
some big fighting sharks and also
on the north Jersey coast, where
sharks, weighing 200 pounds, have
been landed.
A heavy tarpon line is used and
the wire leader is attached to the
hook by means of a light steel
chain. The rod is usually a heavy
single-piece surf rod, often not
more than six feet long. A large
menhad6en or weakfish is used for
bait.
When a shark strikes, it is with
a rush, and there is no halting the
first dash. The angler simply let's
the line run out until he can bring
the brake into action slowly In
shark fishing a battle of half an
hour is nothing uncommon and in
fighting an unusually large fish
the struggle may continue for an
hour.
AL Lehr. of Philadelphia, who is
now ON the upper New Jersey
coast, sends word that several
sharks, weighing more than a
hundred pounds, have been taken.
last season he got one that went
more 10 pounds.

Count the Cincinnati Reds in on
the National league race. They
face too great a handicap, perhaps,
to nose out the other teams, but
they are going to raise the bloom
ned with the hopes of the Cubs,
Cards, Pirates and Giants. Put
that in your hat.
They have been playing the best
ball in the National league in re-
cent weeks. And they still have
more strength coming. This in the
shape of Pete Donohue, stirling
pitcher, who has been rounding in
to form after long struggle.
Consider for moment the fact
that the Reds won 90 games and
lost only eight in the month OF
July. That is .742 baseball. Con-
slider that in one stretch of 81
games the pitchers elected to hurl
went the entire route in 10.
There are several factors respon
sible for the change in the playing
of the team.
First Of all the injury hoodoo
seems to have left the club at last.
Manager Hendricks struggled for
over two months with makeshift
outfits, necessitated by loss of his
regulars through injury and ill.
ness.
Hughie Critz, brilliant second
baseman. and counted on as the
handspring of the infield defense,
failed to hit his stride until last
month. Now he is ION" his game.
The pitching staff seemingly de-
pressed by their vain efforts earlier
in the year. pitched erratic ball.
The hitting was just as erratic. Now
both departments have improved.
But, giving credit where credit
is due, the earnest efforts of Hen
bricks, in the face of considerable
panning and criticism, is respon-
sible for The emerging of the team
from last place and its rise to
threatening position in the melee.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Once more the leader of the nation directs the at
tenton of his fellowcounryen to the need of great
attention to things spiritual
Not that President Coolidge does not approve of
material progress. His address yesterday at Pitts
burgh auds the strides the country has made in
merce, manufacturing and many other lines of
deavor. But he emphasizes the need of more concern
in our daily lives for religion, education and art
This is the third tat Mr.. Coolidge has fit
to give warning, or at least hint that too
lax as nation in religious matters.
Those who take time to give a thought to the mat
ter forced to agree with him. The old spirit that
prompted the fathers of the nation to inpore the aid
Of Divine Providence in their deliberations; that
sought by prayer and religious devotion help solve
the problems of the individual and the nation, is sad
ly missing from the lives of the big majority.
The President does not ask that we become saints,
that devote any great portion of time to sing
ing hymns or that we should go about with sancti-
monous expression our faces. Indeed he does not
specifically state that should go to church. though
that is strongly implied in his remarks
What he would have is realization that there is
vitality concerned in our lives. He would have US
fleet in a while that material gain is all
sential and that unless man develops his spiritual
side, material gain will avail him but little. 1t
close to being but the echo Of the old words"What
doth it profit etc.
The most rreligious of US but admit that there
Is need for occasional refecton-perhaps frequent
Notwithstanding the welfare of the soul that
ligion teaches US is part of mortal And

ident is right. We have grown careless, and
ing to tighten up little is good advice that should be
needed.
