at one time reached the Indians 4-yard

close of the third period, however,
hurt Montebello Boynton retired be-
cause of exhaustion.
Ham Adams, former Maryland athlete,
shared a pass from Collier to count
the Hawks first touchdown. The ball
was put in scoring position by Collier
when he intercepted a pass and raced

ROD AND STREAM
BY Perry Miller

TINE Potomac is clear and the
Shenandoah is cloudy. The
Shenandoah clears very rapidly
i owing to its swift running
water and may be in perfect
condition for the anglers by the time
this report is printed.
The opinion of this column is that
it makes little difference in the results
obtained by anglers when the water is
clear. When the fresh water streams
are muddy no bass are caught, and
when the water is clear no bass are
caught, unless it may be few picked
up now and then.
Salt water is clear, and yet practically
the same reports come in from the many
fishing grounds-few fish are being
caught. Occasionally some angler will
have luck and land a few fish, but, on
the whole it has been a sad fishing
season with the cry going up from all
quarters, Whats the matter with
fishing?"
A report from Cumberland states that
$4,000 young bass were placed in the
South Branch of the Potomac last week.
These little fish were sent from the
AmeS, Iowa, hatchery by the United
States Fish Commission at the request
of the Ronlney Chamber Of Commerce.
Sixty gallons of small mouth bass and
small Dream were placed in the Potomac
at and near the Cumberland Y. M.
c. A. camp; 1000 bass were placed at
r. S. Kuykendalls place; 5000 at G. w.
Parsons; 5000 below the river bridge
near Romney and 1000 at Glebe.
The planting of these bass in the
Potomac recalls that the Potomac River
is known as the second home of the
bass. Years and years ago bass were
taken from the Mississippi Valley region
and planted in the Potomac; 1t was
their second home. In those days the
Potomac was entirely free from pollu-
ton and for a long time there was ex-
cellent fishing in this stream. But the
time came when the inroadS of civiliza-
ton caused this stream to become pol
luted. If the young fish planted this
week will survive the many evils sur
rounding them it will be fine.
Each week the local chapter of the
Izaak Walton League goes on the air
over Station VOL. The past week the
speaker was E. C. Kemper, chairman
of the bass protection committee of the
chapter. Kemper is one of the leading
conServationiSts in this section of the

mainly through his efforts that the bill
prohibiting the sale of bass in the Dis

prefaced his remarks by saying, eve
are beginning to resent the billboards
and other forms of DETACHMENT, which
rob us of our heritage in the America
of our forefathers. This inherent love
of the out-of-doors which is almost
universal, is my justification for speak
ing on one of its phases about which
little has been said and about which
the truth should be told. refer to
the determination of the finest fresh
water game fish we have-the black
bass.
THE bass fishing in Virginia, Mary
land and Pennsylvania should be the
| finest in the Eastern States" Kemper
said. 1T should furnish days of Won
! derful sport to thousands of city dwell
ers ana their more fortunate country
relatives. The contrary is true. The
bass in the rivers and lakes of these
three States are being exterminate6 by
the commercial net fishermen and mar
ket fishermen" Kemper said this was
particularly the case in tidewater
streams of the States mentioned and
unless the public and the public press
are informed the time is not far dis
tant when fishing for bass in this part
of the country will be thing of the
past.
1.-The fish markets of the entire State
OF Maryland are open to the sale
of black bass eight months of the year.
The fish markets of the entire State of
Pennsylvania are open to the sale of
bass for like period in each year, pro-
vided the bass are Melted and shipped
in from some other State. The effect of
these open markets for bass in two large
States is obvious. The Virginia net
fishermen catch the bass in seines and
trap nets during the Winter months.
and to avoid arrest send them across
to the Maryland shore, from whence
they are shipped to Baltimore and
Philadelphia"
Two large channel bass were taken
just below Wachapreague, Va, a few
days ago by two Washington anglers
who also reported sheepshead and black
bass running we'll on the bars in the
lower bay near Cape Charles City.

weighing between SIS and go pounds was
caught with surf rod off a stranded
Navy target barge on the ocean beach
about six miles below Wachapreague by

Forty pounds of sheepshead, running

eral black sea bass of three and four
pounds each and a few hogfish weigh

A Practical Reason.

NF course, there was some very prac-
~ tical basis for the intense grief
that Mr.. Hack Wilson expressed over
the muffing of that fly ball. A world
series is so arranged that the difference
between the winners and the losers
end is onsiderable-several thousand
dollars, in fact, and that is serious
money to any base ball player.
1t could not have been that this
Sordidly commercial element entered
into the thing in any way. A reporter
could not be deceived as to the real
motives Of the grief of Mr.. Wilson
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-10-21

All Chicago sobbed with the dirty
faced little boy in the street" Per-
hapS Chicago also Sobbed with the
heartbroken Mr.. Hack Wilson. Despite
the fact that they toss the petulant
pineapple now and then and use the
automatic rifles frequently and ac-
curately, Chicago is a very sentimental
city.
1t used to be that grief such as was
shown openly by Mr.. Wilson was con-
fined to the game of intercollegiate foot
bali, where captains of teams have
sobbed out their hearts in the dressing
room. Many q gridirof1 has been
flooded with tears of the vanquished
The grief becomes general and in
fects the old grads. 1t always has
struck me that this is one of the rea-
sons why the alma mater songs are
so constructed that they can be
turned into dirges. Cornell, Prince
ton, Columbia, Harvard and a few
others are wonderfully equipped in
this regard for general weeping.
In about the latter part of the fourth
quarter the lamentations start and the
old grads become a number of NiobeS
weeping over the children of the alma
mater. If the grief becomes any more
general than it has been in the past
there is danger that some of the in
nocent bystanders will be swept down
the steep sides of some of the stadia
by the hydraulic forces of univer-
sity's grief and drowned in the field.
The universities understand one
another's grief. AS 1 get it, that
was the reason why Yale abandoned
the rollicking but quite inconsiderate
"Undertaker's Song" Some Harvard
men will tell you that it was because
the Yale men had forgotten the
words during the run of the Haugh-
ton system at Harvard, but that is a
very callous thought.
The old grads seem to enjoy their
bit of sorrow. Sometimes I think that
they are just bit disappointed when
the team wins and they cannot put
any real pathos into the singing of the
alma mater song. You cannot put in
a real barber-shop chord when the
heart Is full of merriment.
