to have been the most satisfactory in

OF years. The Maryland department of
conservation says that at the start of
the season on May / the bottoms were
well supplied with crabs which had
hibernated in Maryland waters during
the previous Winter.
Early in the season soft crabs became
plentiful and the markets we'll stocked
with prices reasonable. During the
month of July soft crabs became very
scarce, while hard crabs we're plentiful.
The Maryland department was interest
ed in knowing why the quantity of soft
crabs had diminished, and reports that
1t Is believed this was due to the scarcity
OF grass which is usually found in large
quantities around the shores which the
soft crab and shedder crab frequent.
Further reports from number of dis
trictS of Maryland indicate that the
grass died off during the early Summer,
and acres of it were to be seen floating
out with the tide. This caused the
peeler crabs to seek deep water for she'd
ding, and here they were protected from
the ScrapeS of the crabber, which ac-
counted for the abundance of hard
crabs and the scarcity of soft ones.
To Crisfleld goes the honor of ship
ping the largest number of soft crabs,
60,0O0,000. The crab crop this year was
godsend to Marylanders, as they had

TECH HIGHS basket ball team,
public high school champion,
will play its second game of the
campaign and its last before it
meets Business, January Z, in one of
the opening games of the title series,
in the Tech High gym tomorrow when
it will take the floor against an alumni
combination.
More than usual interest attaches to
this game as fans are keen to get a
line on the real strength of the Tech
team. In its only contest to date the
Mckinley quint defeated HyartSville
High, but it did so largely through the
use OF reserve players. 1t is thought
that Coach Artie Boyd will have to
present just about his strongest team
to take the measure of the grads.
Gonzaga will engage its No. l alumni
team in another court game tomorrow.
These contests will be part of a
weeks program for the scholastic
basketers which calls for a total of IL
games.

are listed during the week. All five
teams which will engage in the cham
pionship basket ball series plan plenty

engage an alumni quint in the Western
gym, st. Johns and Mount st. Josephs
All-Stars were to try conclusions on the
Cadets floor and Eastern and'a gradu-
ate combination of the Lincoln Park
School were to have it out in the
Eastern gym.
Central will all but rule the roost
Wednesday. 1t will be Alumni day at
the Columbia Heights school, with
graduate teams engaging undergraduate
combinations in basket ball, swimming
and rifle. In the only contest scheduled
for the day Gonzaga's basketers will
take on its No. 2 alumni team.

Thursday and Friday. Western is to
