CHANGES
ARE MARROW
ON CURB
BY THEODORE KOsLOW

NEW YORK, Sept. 16 ON.S).
Stocks backed and filled irregu.
larly today at no great distance
from previous closing levels. The
volume of dealings slackened per.
ceptibly but substantial support
was in order on every recession.
RecOveries Prompt
Electric Bond and Share after
a forenoon dip to 1874 rallied to
281a where it was up more than
point on the day. American
Gas and Electric recovered the
greater part of its early loss of
almost 2 points by moving up to
80.
Aluminium shot ahead to Gil
for a gain of 612 points while
Ford of Canada B was up 2
points net at Is.
Oils came into the limelight for
time and Gulf showed a gain
of 23s points at 1872, while
Humble was up points at 4S.
Bonds Do Little
Pennroad was actively taken on
a rising scale in the investment
trust list. At its best price of 3l4
it showed a net gain of Is.
The bond section was unable
to show much, although American
Rolling Mill SIS were in fairly
good demand up a point to 54A.

CUBS CAP PTURE
CLOSE FRAY

The Cubs, who have been
losing flock of close ones,
shaded the Giants, 8 to 2, on
Kiki Cuyler's homer in the
eleventh, after the Giants had
come from behind and knotted
the count three times. Chicago
needs six victories out of ten
remaining games to clinch the
pennant, as the Pirates beat the
Braves, 3 to 2, behind Meine's
pitching. Lloyd Waner hits his
fifty-seventh double of the sea-
son and is only two short OF
the National League record.
Chuch Klein made three hits,
his thirty-seventh
homer, as the Phils made it
three straight over Cincinnati,
7 to 4. Ray Starr, rockies
pitcher from Rochester, hurled
the Cards to a 80 win over the
Dodgers.
Vernon Gomez, hope Of the
Yanks for the world series, was
given a neat shellacking as the
lowly Chicago White Sox drubbed
the new champions, 8 to S.
A double by Burns in the
seventh drove in two runs and
gave the Browns a 3 to 2 win
over the Athletics. Homers by
Cissell and Kamm featured
Cleveland's 7 to 2 win over the
Red SoX.

.-; "There are more bluefish in
the bay this year than at any
time in the last decade. The
waters are Just Swarming with
chem, and they are from pan
size up to six and seven
pounds"
The speaker was one of the
eity's leading piscatorial sports
men and a chap who has fished
9earby waters for many years
md can boast of some wonderful
catches.
"And are they delicious" he
added smacking his lips, Boy
sweet as honey and are they
tender. Why, they melt in
your mouth. Trolling has come
into its own and its the best
In years."
So that's that.
Everybody is catching blues, but
The trout, hardheads, perch ana
spots, and occasional rockfisn,
wea-bass or founder, grace the
hauls.
Reports that schools of large
blues have been churning UP the
ARaters at Tilghman's Island are
Becoming more and more numer'
Ous. Broomes Island and Bene-
dict have blossomed out in all
their glory. West River, Point
Lookout, Cobb Island, Piney Point
and the Rappahannock figure in
other highly enthusiastic informa'
kion.
Steve Brodie and Nick Murray
trapped $50 trout, blues and hard
heads at Broomes Monday. A
Observation-Disclosures trout was
kheir biggest single specimen. De
kective Lowery and a party OF
headquarters anglers followed in
their steps Tuesday and caught
DO. Comdr. StetSon Hogg, Com
Enander Best and Jimmy Burns
Bcooped in go blues, running from
pan size up, and 80 fairly large
trout at the same place. They
Ricked up II blues in 20 minutes
OF trolling.
Abe Shapiro, Leo and Tom
Grasso, Dave Taven and Charley
Abbott will long remember the
past Sunday at Benedict, off
sheridan Point, when they bagged
l120 husky trout, 20 blues and 25
extra large King williams in less
than four hours. The trout aver
aged nearly three pounds.
( Mr.. and Mrs. John K. Tierner
and Harry Fischer had splendid
success at Solomons, catching a
big mess of blues and trout. H.
Addison Bowie and jumping
Zoe" Clark spent an enjoyable
week at Patuxent Beach, drag
Ging in all the fish they wanted
blues, trout, hardheads, spots and
perch.
Sounded Like Ducks
- Jim Mahoney yanked in go big
blues off Beverly Beach Sunday.
He said that the blues breaking
made a noise like ducks rising out
of the water.
Steve Mantzouris, Paul Pohlig,
Rusty Settle, "Dukey" Duke, and
''Irish" Murphy collected %
hefty blues at Shady Side. Duke
caught a 30-inch beauty. Dave
Cohen, Mort Steiner and Hy
Margolis also were satisfied with
Shady Side, pulling in 40 blues
there Sunday.
John Kohler, Harry B. Clerco
and John Hayden found the West
River generous, landing 35 nice
trout and 18 large blues Wednes-
day. Same day and same place
y. C. Pierpoint, Harry C. Lust and
wives hooked 35 trout and 20
blues trolling.
: A. w. Lee. Louis Streeter and
Dan BrookShire are tickled be-

~ blues and 18 trout, averaging

HOPPER WAR STARTS
Pests Begin Sweep Across
Western States.
By United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, June 6. - Wide
spread damage from grasshopperS
all over the west is expected by the
bureau of entomology of the depart
ment of agriculture. The insects
are Matching rapidly in great num-
bers throughout the plains area, and
outbreaks have been reported as far
east as Iowa and Missouri.
The pests are in their earlier
stages of growth; it is after full size
and appetite have been attained
that their most serious inroads on
crops occur.
This year the bureau Of entomol-
ogy lacks sinews Of war. An ap-
preparation was asked from con-
gress, but was not granted.
In most states some money has
been raised by counties to buy poi
son bait, and the states supply tech
meal advisers for organizations and
methods Of combat.
The bureau itself has collected
much data on grasshopper out
breaws and how to handle them, and
this has been made available to the
forces in the field.

MarShaII-LeSIie Group Out
to Seize Control From
Senator Watson.
Continued from Page u

lie-Marshal "putsch" and Morgan's
play for self.
George Ball, Muncie millionaire
and national committeeman, has
been staying neutral, although his
friendship with Ex-Governor James
Goodrich might cause him to lean
toward the candidacy of Raymond
Springer of Connersville.
1t is known that Leslie has beeE
spending a great deal Of his time in
headquarters. ConstraSting this with
the fact that for three years he
went there only when invited, Re-
publican managers are wondering
how far Morgan has been drawn
into the Slie-Marshall coalition.
Swings to Leslie
1t is no secret that, although
Watson set him in as state chair
man, Morgan wants to throw off
the yoke and has been training
with Leslie. This friendship be-
gan, it is said, when the Governor
brought over large contribution
to help him lift the $4,000 state
committee deficit, which Morgan is
said to have wiped out.
For the first time in years Harry
Fenton, state committee secretary,
has been on the outside looking in.
and the huddles of the Leslie Mar
shall organization group have been
held in the committees two far Of
fees.
While this has been going on,
Herbert Herbine, known as Cap"
who is representing the senator's
interests at state committee head
quarters, has been fighting tooth
and toenail to hold the Watson
group together.
Stout Writes Platform
That the Leslie element is in the
saddle so far is seen in the fact that
George Stout, editorial writer for
Marshall, is doing the real work Of
writing the platform and Republican
managers recall that in 1890, after
Watson had sent in his platform,
Marshall appeared with that writ
ten by Stout and forced the sub
stitute down the Threats Of the
resolutions committee.
Marshall has been after Watson
since 1923, when his efforts to be-
come national committeeman from
Indiana were thwarted and M. Bert
Thurman was set in. and it is
