~ RATIFYING reports continue
to reach us from the Eastern
Shore. Around Tilghmans and
Sharps Island catches of 100
or more fish are a nightly occurrence
Croakers and trout but mostly croakers
or hardheads, are being landed by all
parties who go after them. Boats from
Cur side now are taking enthusiastic
anglers across the bay every evening
for the night fishing, which is said to
be best from dark until around mid
night. Why the fish are biting at r. ght
and will not strike during the day is a
mystery. Even the officials of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries can assign
no reason for it.
During recent years anglers have
said that the best fishing was early in
the morning and late in the afternoon.
As a general proposition. this held true,
but today things are different, and the
fish have set new style. Just to
prove this assertion IS correct, Lou
Kolodin and a party of seven motor
cycle men from the Traffic Bureau
crossed the bay last Wednesday night
and started fishing at 6aybreak. They
caught only five hardheads. Others,
who had fished from dark until mid
night, returned with large catches, enc
party having as many as 352 hard
heads and few trout.
T DR.. l.. A. Cornst and wife and Jonn
Defibaugh and wife returned Friday
morning from a trip across the bay
and had as their reward 140 hardhcads
and some trout. Their total catch
weighed 325 pounds fishing from $50
until $50 pm. They went to Shady
Side and their guide was Capt Ralph
Lee.

AN Jones, who tlred q SalVo OF
" v four national championships

that the ancient and battling game has
its place above the player. For 1881

vided laurels 1t has shown no one
outstanding figure who could rise and

1t recalls the old refrain, slightly

Elm, with Burke winning. This pre-
coded the 108-hole scrap between Wal
ter Hagen and Percy Allis in the Cana
dian open. with Hagen winning his
first big title of the year.
Many Leaders.
COUNTING only the most important
~ tournaments so far finished. the
list of winners includes Golden,
Sarazen, Kirkwood. Cox, Ar Eour, Dud-
ley. Burke and Hagen, with Won Elm
high in the list through two ties. So
here are nine golfers featured from
Winter into Summer, with Burke and
Armour having taken the lead through
the two leading classics, the United
States and British opens, but with no
golfer being able to do any piling up.
There have been too many good ones
and the uncertainty of the game has
been more marked than ever. For ex-
ample after winning the La GORGE open.
Gene SaraZen retired at Augusta. And
after winning the British open, Tommy
Armour stuck in 38 at Inverness and
finally finished far out.
The two most consistent stretches
belong to Burke and Hagen. Burke
played brilliant golf from the Ryder
Cup qualifying on through the United
States open. This lasted through a
stretch of nearly three weeks Hagen
played fine golf in the Western open,
the Ryder Cup matches, the United
States open and the Canadian open.
It was the best golf he has shown for
some time.
Hagens Return.
WHEN you consider Eagen's average
w through 216 holes of medal play
in the Western, United States and
Canadian opens and his SO against
Whitcombe in the Ryder Cup round,
the net result brings the veteran back
to his best work. His one faltering
march was the last Is holes of the
Inverness war, where he had three
ragged holes in row, after fighting his
way into the middle Of the argument.

New among modern love triangles
is the strange choice forced upon the
delectable Marlene Dietrich. the FAM
GUS European actress who makes her
American screen debut in Morocco
coming July 30 and 80, to the Vashon
theatre. Both the lovers, Gary Cooper
and dapper Adolphe Menjou, are men
any woman might love. Miss Diet
rich is compelled to make a difficult
choice.
Cooper, in the role Of reckless
soldier OF the French Foreign Legion;
Menjou, as worldly-wise, sophisti-
Gated man-of-the-world, represent
two distinct and widely separated
types of manhood. Their ideals, their
modes of life are infinitely separated.
Yet both are admirable and worthy of
woman's love. Miss Dietrich has
