on the Virginia side of the PotomaC.
Above Little Falls of the Potomac
no license Is required to fish, although
there Is no tide. Maryland, however,
has jurisdiction over the Potomac to
! the Virginia side, both on the lower
and upper Potomac. On the lower Po-
/, tomac this jurisdiction applies only to
| the shore line and not to the creeks
| and coves On the upper Potomac
Montgomery County has no fishing
| laws, and therefore no license is re-
quired to fish between the Little and
Great Falls of the river. Farther up,
however, several Maryland counties
have their own fish laws--namely,
Frederick and Garrett.
| The Maryland law regulating the
catching of bass in the Potomac has
| been amended to read:
'No person or persons shall take,
catch. kill, fish or fish for any small
mouth or large mouth bass between
the first day of December and the
first day of July. both dates inclusive,
and then only by means of rod, hook
and line, No person or persons shall
| take, kill, fish or fish for-small-
| mouth or large-mouth black bass. at
any time in any of the waters of this
State above a point where the tide

or gig iron, fish baskets or fish pots.
eel weirs, brush or fascine nets, or
| by any means or contrivance in the
nature of a seine or net or trap,
which are in use at present or may
be devised hereafter"
Maryland, Virginia and the District
of Columbia all have different dates
F<xt. tsN11i &C.
In the District it is June /, but this
date was changed some years ago to
allow the anglers to fish for these
gamesters on May 80, it being legal
holiday. In aryland the season
opens July l. and in Virginia the
date is June Is.
A visit to the fish wharves last Fri
day revealed the fact that great
many rock are being caught in the
nets at Solomons Island and Herring
Bay. The roclSfish for sale were all
beautiful fish, ranging from two to
four pounds. During the past week
at Herring Bay Harry Manifold,
well known to many local anglers,
reported that he caught 81 large mum.
Der OF good size rickfish in his gill
nets.
Rockfish at Herring Bay means
that these much sought gamesters
have left the deep waters Of the Bay
where they make their Winter home
and have started to the shoal places
to lay their spawn. Just as soon as
the weather warns sufficiently to en-
able anglers to get out on the Bay
the return of good sport trolling for
these fish is assured.
The rains have caused the waters
of the Potomac to become badly dis
colored. but three or four good days
will be sufficient to clear the water for
the anglers. by which time the first
run of perch should be on hand.

The forward swing is an exact re-
verse of the back swing. Therefore,
be slow with wrist action in the back
swing so the wrists win act quickly
in the forward swing. If the wrists
break the club sharply in the back
swing, the wrist action will be slow
and soggy in the forward swing.
Here is par chart that pictures
the correct wrist action in the back
swing.
In the first inset you note that the
club head has been started back from
the. ball on a straight line. with the
face of the club kept at direct right
angles to the direction line through
the ball The position of the hands,
with the right hand slightly on top
of the left, show you how the clubhead
has been withdrawn.
Now note the second inset. The
wrists have not broken sharply here
at all, though the club is going on up.
Instead, the arms are elevating the
club-not the wrists. Observe also

LOCK COACHES

And Set Attire. /

MEXICO CITY, April 20. P)-Be-
tween so and 100 helpless passengers
were slaughtered by great force of
revolutionists or bandits who held up
a Guadalajara- Mexico City train last
night after killing the trains entire
escort of so soldiers. The bandits
drenched the coaches with gasoline
and kerosene and set them afire, and
as the terrified passengers tried fran
tically to climb out of the windows to
escape incineration, they were shot
down.
The slaughter took place near
Limon, state of Jalisco.
OF recent outrages, this is declared
to have been the worst in Mexican
territory. The attack came almost
without warning. Suddenly the train
was halted while passing through
desolate territory and the attack,
some reports have it, was begun by
from 500 to 1000 armed men. They
made short work of the military
guard, then locked the doors Of the,
coaches, applied the torch to the oil
soaked wood and by the light of the
flames that instantly shot UP poured
savage fusillades into the bodies of
the passengers as they hung half out
of the windows in an attempt to
reach the ground
First reports reaching Mexico City
said that all the passengers had been
killed, but President Gales later re-
ceived information that about half
them had escaped The presidential
office also received reports that three
of four Catholic priests had led the
attacking party, characterized by the
government as rebels, numbering a
little more than 200.
The railroad authorities were of
the belief that the train carried from
100 to 200 passengers and their esti-
mates were that between 100 and $50
persons were killed or injured For
mer President Obregon's daughter,
Coquita, who is the wife of an army
officer, Col Ponce DeLeon, is reported
among the dead or injured. No
Americans are known 20 have been
on the train.
There is belief current in Mexico
City that the outrage was the work
of revolutionists, as was the case in
the recent attack on Idreuo-MeAlCO
City train to discredit the Gales ad-
ministration as much as possible, both
at home and abroad, and focusing
foreign attention on the revolutionary
conditions in Mexico. Relief trains
and, troops have rushed to the sceen
of the holdup and the survivors have
been taken to Irapuato.
The attack on the train was evil
IDENTIFY well planned, for the rebels or
bandits tore up the tracks between the
stations of Limon and Felicano. The
engine was derailed, but the coaches
remained on the tracks. The soldier
guards were taken by surprise and
greatly outnumbered and were first to
be butchered. Those passengers who
descended from the train when it had
| come to halt We're forced back into
the coaches at the point of rifles. They
watched with horror the preparations
! of the savages to burn them alive.
