'TR. ]. T. PRENDERGAsT of 457 G
~ street northwest recently sent q
letter to Senator BleaSe calling at
tention to net fishing in the Potomac
River and Chesapeake Bay. The doctor
points out that while Congress has
passed the White bill providing for a
five-year construction and maintenance
program for the Bureau of Fisheries,
authorizing an appropriation of
SO, 100000 to be spent for 81 new fish
hatcheries in as many States, mainly
for game fish, certain States, princi-
pally Maryland, Is allowing purse net
ters to deplete one of the finest fishing
grounds in the country, Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries
DR.. Prendergast informed the Senator
that these purse METERS are prohibited
from operating in the Potomac River,
but says he personally has seen them
hauling their nets at least 10 miles up
in the Potomac from its mouth at Point
Lookout. BY doing away with these
purse netterS, Dr. PrendergaSt points
out, and allowing the bay and rivers to
again become stocked with an abund-
ance of fish, Maryland would assure
herself of a revenue far in excess of
that obtained from the license fees Of
the purse meters.
Dr. Prendergast inclosed with his let
ter to the Senator a copy of Rod and
Stream of March Q, 1880, which was
printed in the Congressional Record of
June 3, pointing to the stupidity, lack
of interest and the wonderful game Of
politics" being played by the Maryland
Legislature in regard to purse netting.
This letter is regarded as the first gun
to be fired by anglers who are exerting
every effort to have Maryland pass a
law at the next session of the Legisla-
ture to outlaw this most destructive
form of catching fish.

]. WHEELER AGAIN
PITCHERS LEADER

Julius Wheeler, who laid the founda-
tion for the 1929 horseshoe organiza-
ton of The Washington Star at North
Brentwood, Md, has been reappointed
local chairman by Arthur A. Greene,
general director of the colored tourna-
ment. Wheeler has started conStruc-
ton of courts which will be equipped
for night pitching.
North Brentwood was the scene of
the Prince Georges and Maryland State
finals In which Felix Tflghman of North
Brentwood and Franklin Marshall of
Hyattsville staged an exciting battle
for the State crown, from which Mar
shall emerged the victor. The North
Brentwood fans are backing Tilghman
not only to win the State title, but are
looking forward to a metropolitan title
holder.
THE Hutradena Club, a group of
L local World War Veterans, have
filed entries for The Star horseshoe
tournament. The club is out to make
a good showing and the following list
contains the names of some clever
twirlers. The entries follow: Steven
S. Madison, Frank L. Gardner, s. r.
Woodfork, A. Parker, j. H. Smallwood,
Clarence G. Slayer.
THE champions and near champions
i are returning to their horseshoe
habitats to timber up for the peppery
competition that is assured In the
metropolitan event. They are active on
% colored Fairgrounds.
THE strength of the Sixth and "L''
i playground, where the metropolitan
champion, David Baylor, got his start
and the Rose Park playground is not
denied in any quarter. The dopesters
figure each In the fight for the city
crown, but several other Fairgrounds
are strong contenders.
THE Manchester A. c. and Hutra-
4 dena Club loom as formidable con-
tenders in the struggle, while the Rare
back pitchers and the Pleasant Plain
twirlers are two clubs that will sure
stand in the way of any title aspirants

Perhaps the first horseshoe
pitcher here to learn something
of Mrs. Woods prowess was the
congressional champion, Repre-
sentative Fred G. Johnson of Ne
braska. In fact, it was tip from
Mrs. Wood that helped Repre-
sentative Johnson to victory when
defeat appeared almost certain.
He was trailing Representative Albert
H. Vestal by Is to In 2l-polnt game
when a woman spectator gave him some
advice that was Immediately effective
You'd do much better, Mr.. john
son." ventured Mrs. Wood, 'tf you'd
relax and take longer and smoother
swing"
The gentleman from Nebraska was
in such straits that he was willing to
try any style of pitching. He took Mrs.
Woods advice and the result was z
points in the next two innings, and he
went on to exc out victory by the
margin Of l point.
"You seem to know q lot about this
game" the triumphant pitcher observed
after the match.
Mrs Wood similingly disclosed that
she could average 20 ringers In hun
dred toSses at 80 feet, the champion
ship distance for women, and had been
successful in Rochester tournaments.
No record of the number of ringers
tossed by Mrs. Harrison in the tourna-
nient last year is available. but 1t is
recalled that she threw them con-
sistently.
MO preliminaries will be held in the
IN womans section of the coming
tournament. A single event for
them, as last year, will be staged II
