n way with those fish, KNOWN
all along where they are when
the other captains around Piney
Point can't find their customers
even q nibble.
Next time we're down around
Swans. wharf, we sure are goin
to hunt up Captain Joe, and
when We find him we're goin' to
walk right up to him, and,
slappin' him on the suspenders,
blurt right out:
"Cap'n, how about agoin'
fishin'?"
Personally we can testify
that the Patuxent River, was
very choppy yesterday and that
the toad fish were running.
Here's two things you may
make a mental note of right
now. Secretary Adams, Of the
Navy, and Secretary Good, of
the War Department, are soon
going to get thei. heads to-
gether and see if they can't re-
vive the Army-Navy football
game.
The. other thing to remember
is that, DOME Bush, whether or
not he wins a pennant with the
Pittsburgh Pirates this year,
does not expect to be with the
Pirates next year. More about
both these two tips later.
Tommy Loughran is going to

It has been SO long since we've

ask where he expects to work.

We nominate for our three
sport man, Mr.. Jesse G. Vein
meyer, of 1927 Gault Pl. N. e.
bowler, horseshoe pitcher and
fisherman.
Readers of these columns have
heard of the four Veihmeyers,
Jess, Frank, Dan and Will.
Some of them have also heard
of their lovely mother, Mrs
Mary Veihmeyer, one of the
most ardent fanettes, of Wash
ington and a woman whose
sense of sportsmanship on the
ball field is about a. well bal
anced as you'll find even among
the veriest male fans.
But this is not to be a family
history. Long as we've known
Jess Veihmeyer, he never let on
he was a fisherman, but then
what can you expect of horse
shoe tosser, much less a rabid
duckpin roller?
Anyway, a letter from the
deponent sayeth and declareth
that pom his word he never saw
so many Norfolk spots in one
spot as he found recently while
fishing at Ragged Point, about
nine miles from Piney Point.
It seems that Jess and gang
which included Pop" Vein
meyer, Jack Harding, Bill Brid-
get and Ed Curtain, all Of Hill
brook, b. c., as well as Capt.
Joe Henderson, ran afoul of a
whole school of Norfolk spots
on Sunday and the fish would
hardly wait for the boys to
throw their lines overheard.
Jess lays much Of the credit
for, a 66-pound catch, embrac-
ing 130 fish, to Captain Hen
derson, owner of the boat from
which they fished. Jess swears
that many boats about them
were not catching a thing ex-
cept bad cases Of sunburn, but
that Captain Joe knew just
where to drop anchor and in
less than no time at all the fish
were thicker on the deck of that
boat than they were in the bay.
The only thing we can gather
from such a coincidence is that
