CCORDING to reports received
~ this week the bass season is
~ in full swing. Plenty OF mem
bers of both bass families, large
and small mouth, are being caught
above and below Washington. The
Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers are
clear This, naturally, is cheering
news for the followers of old Izaak
Walton. They have been waiting a
Long time for clear water in the Po-
tonlac and other streams. Bass fishing
during the Summer months was very
poor Two facts were responsible for
this condition, muddy water and ex-
treme heat. The bass lie in deep holes
during the hot Summer months and
only occasionally can be enticed to hit
at minnowS and artificial lure dangled
before them, but now they are up and
about and ready to take anything
offered them.
The only 6y in the ointment at the
present time is the scarcity Of live bait.
1t Is almost impossible to get any Smelt.
These bright minnows are especially at
tractive to Iarge-mouth bass, but no one
around Washington has any for sale.
Pike and bull minnows can be pur-
chased at Reynolds in Georgetown.
Scott boathouse on K street, or at
Bailey's boat house on X street, or at
Branch, but none has any Snelt. An
glers using artificial lures are catching
bass. but a lot of fishermen prefer to
use live bait, principally smelt for the
large mouth variety, and mad toms for
small-mouth bass.

.SHARKEY DOES BIT
FOR IDLE HEAV|ES
Holes Up for Winter That
Unemployed Mates May

BY WILBUR WOOD.

"A YEW YORK, october Slack
Sharkey has decided to do his
bit for the unemployed. The
American heavyweight cham
pion is going to hole up for the Win
ter, emerging only next Summer for o
bout with either Jack Dempsey Of Max
Schmeling.
BY removing himself from circula-
ton for the next six or seven months,
Sharkey evidently figures, he will give
some Of the unemployed heavyweights
a chance to pick up a dollar here and
there. In return for this magnanimity
it naturally would only be fair to give
him priority when there is a chance of
gathering in some important money
next Summer.
Sharkey's generosity extends even

Schaaf this amounts to q further sacri-

Some of the skeptics, Of whom there
are not a few to be found in the sock

is mentioned as an opponent for
Schaaf Is because. by a recent edict of
the Boxing Commission, Mickey Is In
eligible to box as a heavyweight
However, in view of the offer made

Cards Groom Whitehead TO
Succeed Frisch, Headed
for Job as Pilot.
by JOHN D. FOsTER.

n JEW YORK, October d.
Nj The Chicago White Sox
1 Y see their inf1eld as the key
to their entry into the first
division of the American League
in 1882 and they are making plans
to get infielders for the future.
Once their short field gets settled
they may attain irst-division
honors.
The sox have filed with X. M. Lam
dis. commissioner of base ball. an
which they may select any one Atlanta
player on or before August /, next. He
Is most likely to be an tnfielder.
When Carey Selph, Houston, Tex,
second baseman of some promise, vas
drafted by the Chicago Americans for
1892, there were some owners who won

IN this connection 1t Is known that
i one or two clubs have an idea that
FrtSch is possessed of managerial
talent, as well as playing skill, and that
some day he may come In handy for
them. They will obtain the consent
of the st. Louis club to negotiate with

claim for him If the White Sox do not
care to retain him.
A minor league may do that. In
case q drafter player Is not continued
permanently with the club by which
he has been drafted, minor club may
file with the commissioner Of base ball
q claim for his services If the major
club gives him up.
THIS rule, which bothers the fan and
i is not always understood by the
club owners. says: "A minor
league club desiring the reassignment
of the contract Of O selected player
shall notify the secretary of the Ma
tional Association to such effect on or
before February Is. In default Of such
notice. major league clubs shall have
unrestricted opportunity to release or
assign the contracts of selected players
who, after trial of their skill, fail to
come up to the required standard Of
play"
A selected player Is one more COM

Players who have been claimed IN
the same manner rs Selph are Manion,
the catcher, who was drafted from Mil
waukee by Cincinnati, and Herman
Bell, pitcher Of the Rochester club, who
was drafted by the New York Nationals.
So Milwaukee win take Manion back
and Rochester has notified the Giants
that they viii accept Bell. For long
time Bell has been either with st.
Louis or with some club of the st. Louis
chain. He has been . useful pitcher to
the st. Louis interests, although he
never has seemed to be highly success
ful to outside critics. st. Louis ex-
pected that Bell some day would be-
come one of their leading pitchers and
it may still have hope or two centered

the commissioner of base ball in ruling
Bennett a free agent in organized base

After few arguments the case was

Bennett. an outflelder, was ruled a
