T HIS week end and over Labor
day early morning anglers will
be favored with the proper tide.
l. High tide and the incoming tide
will meet anglers in Chesapeake
Bay, the Patuxent and Potomac. The
cool nights have lowered the tempera-
ture of the water little and conse-
quently better fishing may be expected.
Fairly good reports have reached
this column from the various salt water
fishing grounds. At Solomons Island
the fish were biting in the Patuxent
River and out in the bay, and the ang-
Ter had his choice. On a recent visit to
Solomons, the writer was fishing in the
Patuxent River and having very little
luck. When he returned to the wharf
he was informed that the fish were
biting in great shape in the bay.
From the Herring Bay district and
Off Chesapeake Beach large number
Of fish have been caught. One angler
informed us that he saw large schools
of taylors or blues breaking water, and
that still fishing" he caught about 10
large ones. Others visiting the bay re-
ported the catch of some trout weighing
three and half and four pounds.
From the lower Potomac River good
reports have also reached us about
large rock and trout being caught. One
angler brought a picture to show the
result of his catch at Tall Timbers,
located about two and one-half miles
this side of Piney Point. We, of course,
did not see the fish, but from the pic
lures he certainly landed some beautiful
rock, the largest weighing eight pounds.
Another friend of ours reports that
last Sunday he fished at Occoquan
Creek and landed four plymouth bass,
and still another angler said he had
wonderful sport with the bass in Cum
ston Cove. A good many bass weighing
from one and half to two pounds were
caught in the Tidal Basin last week, so
it would seem that things piScatorial
are picking up both in fresh and salt
water.
This week end anglers are advised to
engage their boats in advance, If pos
sible. There is no doubt that great
many week end parties are being made
up, and If they do not have their boats
engaged they may be disappointed And
while the bay and rivers seem to be
alive with crabs, the supply of peelers
is more or less limited. It would be
best to secure peelers before you start,

of bloodworms and some shrimp. II

GRID GAMES SOUGHT
BY SEAMEN GUNNERS

Seamen Gunners, who this year
expect to have an unusually strong foot
ball team, are now scheduling opponents
through Coach F. G. Michels at the
Deep Diving School at the Navy Yard.
Unlike other teams, 1t has been
pointed out. the Seamen Gunners never
retain their players more than one year
and consequently the work Of the
eleven the previous season can never
form a basis for figuring future per-
formances. The classes at the Navy
Yard come here for only six months.
This year. however. the Seamen Gum
ners will have the use of group Of
players who have had foot ball expert
ence and therefore are optimistic.
Candidates for the Friendship grid
team, which will play in the 15O-pound
ranks. are asked to attend meeting to
be held tomorrow night at 8:15 o'clock
at The home of Capt. Padgett, S19 L
street southeast.

Won Elm. the second best amateur.
SO far as recent playing records go, has
suffered two 18-hole defeats in his last
two championship starts, and that
alone proves how rocky the short
route Is.
In the case of Jones it will be a
different story, once he has scrambled
through into the 36-hole clearing,
where he has an all-day battle to
look after The odds then are
against one taking his measure,
unless Won Elm or Sweetser. are at
their best. And these at their best
are good enough to go after Jones,
Hagen or any one else.
The best chance any one will have
to beat Jones in one of the shorter
hauls will come from some golfer not

as golf isn't that type of competition.
Mental Attitude.
ZONES hasn't yet been able to work
himself into his best mental atti-
- tude for his 18-hole matches. AS far
back as 1920, in England, against a
golfer named Hamlet, he was some
where around 90. On two or three &C.
casions in the last two or three years
he has been out in Al or AZ. where in
his 36-hole matches he was out in
something between 81 and IS.
In most of his 36-hole matches he
has had the battle about won at the
ninth green. In his 18-hole matches
he has often been l or down to a
80 or a 40.
If he carries the same mental at
titude into action at Pebble Beach
he is quite likely to get hooked, just
as Won Elm did at Minikahda and
at Braeburn.
After all. Is holes is a round of
golf. just as nine innings is a ball
game.
Both Jones and Won Elm must
make up their minds to sprint as
well as they take care of the longer
routes.

Won EIm's Chance,

GEORGE Won ELM will have to key
" himself into a different mental at
titude for these shorter marches. Au-
gustus almost stopped him at Baltusrol
in 1926, where Won Elm had to hole a
20-foot putt near the finish to keep
the match alive. After that he was
beaten by Legg and Yates. Once past
the 18-hole affair. Won Elm should be
a hard man to take over Pebble Beach,
where his good driving and his fine iron
play to we'll trapped green's will make
him more than normally formidable.
Yet with such golfers in the field
as Sweetser. Voigt. Willing. Ouimet.
McHugh. Neville. Moe Tolley, Storey
and others. the scrapping will be
hard enough all day along the route.
Sweetser is not to be overlooked. He
is the hardest of all golfers to dis
courage, and if he is near his game he
has the rest of 1t to work with-steel-
shod determination and the fear of no
opponent No man will ever beat him
on the first tee. He is more likely to
play his best golf against Jones or Won
Elm than any one else.

The Communities Interest.

A policeman was shot the other day
in this city by man who then turned
his weapon upon himself. The police
man, lingering for short time, died,
asking forgiveness for his slayer, whose
wound was not mortal. Thus question
is presented which is being answered
differently, according as sentiment
sways the individual. Should the killer
be prosecuted and punished because
his victim with his dying breath asked
that he be pardoned for his crime?
There is no ground for doubt in such
a case. however the emotions may be
evoked. The killing Of the policeman
was crime against the community. It
was not matter of personal vengeance.
The slayer was disturbing the public
peace and menacing the lives of those
about him, and the policeman was sum-
moned. AS he surveyed the scene. pre-
paratory to moving to the house where
the disturbance was in progress, he was
fired upon and wounded.
The definition of murder involves the
element of malice aforethought." The
law has repeatedly held that this
malice" may be only momentary, may
be Instantaneous in development and in
passing. If shot is fired blindly in the
air, with no particular aim, the victim
is not the object Of intent to harm or
kill. But'when shot is fired at an in
dividual without the justification of
self, defense there is but one possible
charge when death ensues.
Forgiveness is noble, but the victim
Of the crime in this case cannot him
self pass judgment Society has a stake
in the matter. The crime is as much
against the community as against the
individual. The plea for mercy for his
slayer Is creditable to the unfortunate
officer Of the law, but it cannot and it
should not cause any slackening of
prosecution.

emergency brakes when he saw the bus
on the crossing.
There is something clearly inconsist-
ent In these two accounts. If the snow
was falling as thickly as reported, there
would have been no opportunity for the
motorman to see the bus at standstill
far enough away to justify the motor
man in thinking that he had a chance
to make the crossing in time. If he
had been SO close as that he would
have made the crossing in safety.
The public hopes that there will be
no confusion as result of the multi
plying of inquiries and that the re-
sponsibility will be definitely fixed, to
the end of the taking of corrective as
we'll as punitive measures. It matters
but little who is punished, If it should
be proved that one of the operatives
was guilty of criminal blunder. It
does, however, matter greatly that from
this disaster should come some guar
antee of security for travellers.
This is what is generally known as
a grade crossing. The fact that the
rallied vehicle was operated by electric
ity rather than steam does not differ
entiate it at all from the usual category
of such intersections, where the I'M
rallied vehicles should have the protec-
ton Of barriers and clearly visible
warnings so long as the lines of travel
cross at grade. There should be no such
death traps on lines of heavy travel
anywhere in this country.

liam Howard Taft. President Coolidge

suggested in some quarters that Mr..
Coolidge may desire to continue in ac-

Under Mr.. Halls plan, Mr.. Coolidge

for an ex-President, on account of the
exalted character Of the office from

freely into business or the professions
as could a citizen who has not been

Executive should have broader grasp
