4 PURSE-EET bill has been before
"A the Maryland Legislature for a
number of years, and just as regularly
as introduced it has met defeat. This
year there appears to be a good
chance that the measure will be passed.
The purse meters have been strong
enough heretofore to block any meas
ure aimed at this method of taking fish.
Now the IA licensed purse METERS,
only few of whom have made any
money during the last several years,
seem to have lost much of their po-
litical strength at Annapolis. They are
reported to have engaged lawyers to
present their side of the controversy.
One of the best arguments in favor
of abolition of the purse nets in Chesa-
peake Bay was the splendid fishing last
year in the lower Potomac, where the
purse meters are not allowed to OPP
crate.

Likes 70 watch AirpIanes.

He likes to watch airplanes nylng
around. Some day he'd like to own and
fly one. He likes to farm. If prohibi
ton hadn't become a law, he might
have been as good a bartender as he
is q ball player. No matter how fine
the mixture he won't drink it. He is
one of the most difficult men in sport
to interview. He will answer questions
fully and clearly, but volunteers little
information.
once while hitting over 400 he fell
into q slump for two days. A rookie
who never could hope to club $50 seri-
ously pointed out certain mistakes in
his stance and grip. Hornsby had the
novice go over the instructions again
and again. The rubbing went on for
over an hour.
When the Rajah started tearing the
cover of the ball again, he gravely
asked the rookie from time ID time If
he was following instructions properly
and suggested that constant eye be
kept on his batting style to prevent
future slumps.
He believes in lots of food for ball
players. Warren Brown once asked him
the secret Of his punch at the plate.

THE time is ripe for a uniform law
l. governing both sides of the Poto-
mac. At present Virginia has GER
tain fishing laws and Maryland, with
the exception of a closed season, has
none. Yet Maryland has jurisdiction
over the Potomac to the Virginia shore,
at least from point to point of land,
which, of course, does not include the
creeks and coveS.
The result of this mix-up is evident.
Last season when Virginia required all
anglers to have a license to fish in fresh
tidewater IN Virginia, all the angler had
to do was to visit the Maryland side
and fish TO dis hearts content, which
many of them did, as there was no re-
striction placed upon them by Mary
land.

DEPUTY COMMISSIONER RAD
II CLIFFE of the U. S. Bureau of
Fisheries In seeking better protec-
ton for black bass said the bass are
particularly vulnerable to attack by
man at two periods of the year First,
during the colder Winter months the
fish tend to herd together in the deeper
holes and, being semi-dormant, they
fall ready prey to the fishermen's nets.
Thus practically the entire brood stock
of stream may be wiped out. Second,
on the spawning grounds during the
spawning season, the fish are repellant
to other fish and foreign moving OBJ
jectS, with the result that the spawning
fish may be caught, thus destroying
parents and progeny, or the nests
destroyed or intsrfered with by the
dragging of seineS over them.
The creeks and coves on both sides
of the Potomac above salt water are
natural breeding grounds for the large
mouth bass.

A hero worShiper on a
~ visit to Catalina Island
training ground for TIE
Chicago Cubs, Sidled up to a rookie
one day.
"Say," he said, who in the
world is that guy over there by the
fireplace? I've been in this hotel
for days now and every time I
come into the lounge I see him
sitting and staring at everybody;
he isn't a ball player, is hep"
"A ball player!" gaSped the amazed
rookie, why, mister, that's Rogers
Hornsby. probably the greatest right
hand hitter the game has ever knoWn!"
The hero worshiper retired in con-
fusion, but he had seen real picture OF
the Rajah, perhaps the strangest per-
sonality IN base ball He has been
booed and cheered alike by millions of
fans and has broken record after record
with his big stick, and yet he acts just
as he did 16 years ago when he came up
to the major leagues, a raw-boned, in
uuisitive kid from Texas.
He is a lone wolf because of habits.
rather than preference He doesn't
chew, smoke or drink He doesn't dance,
play cards or golf. His business is base
ball and so is his hobby. He will talk
of it for hours with any one who will
listen. If the conversation is switched
to some other subject he is apt TO walk
right out Of the discussion.
Rarely Reads Base Ball.
He sits for hours staring out of a
chair in hotel Hobbies like farmer boy
on his first trip to big city. He rarely
reads even base ball stories in the pa
pers, saving his eyes to watch for pellets
curving across the corners of a plate
Rarely does he go to the theater
He doesn't know braSsie from a nib
HEX but he raises sod for putting greens
on 81 acres of his Missouri farm. He
has never seen a putt made on his own
grass. Twice, out of curiosity, he has
hit golf balls He dubbed the first
drive in the park at Catalina and hit
the next one $50 yards and out Of the
lot. He never hit another. He wasn't
interested.
His sense of humor is keen and sly.
BY organized cheering he piloted Andy
Lotshaw, Cub trainer, and Hank
Grampp, bull pen pitcher, couple of
left-footers, into a dead heat for the
annual camp dancing championship at
Catalina. once he asked a sports
writer's wife to teach him to dance. She
agreed. but when the music started up,
he Redeemed and said:
Jaw, I was Just foolin'. could
never learn to dance"

STRONG BUYING

All Grains Show Effect of
Rally in Securities;

BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, Oct. 7.-Strength in
stocks gave wheat a fractional rise
as the Board of Trade opened to-
day. but the trade moved slowly.
There was some profit-taking and
scattered selling. July showed the
greatest strength, with most of the
investment buying lodging in that
month.
Liverpool was strong, but the adj
vance was checked by larger re-
ceipts. Corn was about steady ex-
cept in May, which was firm. Oats
were firm with wheat, and slightly
higher.
At the opening wheat was un-
changed to IL cents higher, corn
was unchanged to IS cents up and
oats were unchanged to IS cent up.
Provisions were slow but strong.
Liverpool was not as strong as
expected, but advanced IS to 3
cents by mid -afternoon.
Corn was on the upgrade with
wheat, but the advance induced
large country offerings of old corn.
There was good buying in the new
crop months on the improved sem
timent. Ohio is thought to be at
tracing most Of the eastern demand
as that section is underselling Chi
cago and Indiana points.
Investment buying of oats has ad-
vanced that grain rather sharply
and Tuesday the local element also
was inclined toward the buying
side

NEW YORK, Oct. AFTER rising
to gains of fractions to more than
5 points, the stock market settled
down to a more orderly procedure
in the middle of the forenoon ses-
sion today.
Tuesdays sharp advance-one of
the widest in per cent gain in the
history of the exchange-had the
tendency to bring in profit-taking.
This was noticeable in stocks of the
highest caliber which usually are
the ones bought by bankers to sup
port the market.
Gains were fairly well sustained
despite the profit-taking, but vol
ume was smaller than Tuesday and
tickers caught up after having been
four minutes behind while initial
orders were being executed.
Sales in the first half hour to-
tailed 100000 shares, or at the rate
of 100000 shares for a full day.
In the corresponding period Tues
day sales totaled 100000 shares.
Bank stocks firmed up / to 5
points; cotton rose more than 81 a
bale; convertible bonds led a rally
in the bond market. Curb stocks
followed the big board and the
Chicago stock market rose frac-
lions to 2 points. Wheat and other
grains firmed up
Steel common, which touched
TN, eased to 7O3s, off q from the
previous close. New York Central
slipped back to 5815, off from its
high of go. Woolworth lost a point
from its high, as did Consolidated
Gas, American Telephone, PennsyI-
vania, American Can and a long
list of others. AS the end of the
first hour neared, the list, with
few exceptions, was holding gains
Of fractions to 3 points.
Dow, Jones & Co. stated Tues
days advance in the Dow-Jones in

apparently gathering strength
from the rise in other markets on
tuesday, hogs moved up 10 to Is
cents at the Union stockyards this
morning. The bulk, 100 to 300
pounds, sold for $40 to $3.50. A
few small lots made the market at
$685. to $40, early top holding at
the $40 figure. Receipts were esti-
mated at $500; followers we're $50.
Steer trade was undeveloped in
the cattle market, with most bids

changes. Receipts were 1900. Veal
ers were steady at SO down. Calf
receipts numbered 500.
Lambs continued to show slight
weakness, prices this morning rang
ing from steady to Is cents lower

sold for Sc to 81. Receipts we're

Chicago hog receipts were 1900,

In the Cotton Markets
(By Thomson g. McKinnon)

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-The mar
ket advanced to 6.45 for July con-
tracts this morning. Within this
30 points there was some short
covering, but the bulk of it was for
the trade and evidenced a renewed
confidence in general conditions
The south was not at all a liberal
seller. The weather continues IA
vorable for the harvest.
There was no change in the gen
eral tenor of the weekly trade re-
view. On the eighth we got the
government estimate which, if
weather means anything, should
show a crop increase. We do not
think it will shock the market to
any great degree.
The trade is prepared for it. We
think there is a general feeling
that the market is fairly near the
low price for the season. Some
scale down buying has already ap-
peared, and it will increase on any
further decline.

lBv Thomson & McKinnoal

NEW YORK, Oct. ga spirit of
new hope developed today, influ-
enced by the announcement from
Washington that redoubled efforts
are being put forth to stem the de-
structive tide of the depression. De-
tails of any plan were lacking, pre-
sumably pending the Presidents
conference with congressional lead
erS tonight.
Suggesting what President Hoover
terms national unity" of action
would seem to imply not only at
lacking domestic problems but in
ternational as well. The news had a
reassuring effect and apparently
was primarily responsible for the
lifting Of the pressure from the
market.
The recovery was broad and re-
traced the ground lost the past few
days. Nor was the market void of
some other good news. The declara-
ton of the regular Santa Fe divi-
dend was more than had been
hoped for. The event was an ex-
ample of how far hysteria and pes
simism warped good Judgment. 1t
is to be hoped that President Hoover
will be successful in outlining a
practical plan that will restore con-
f1dence not only in the United
States but beyond our boundaries.
