the current series, which turn Of
affairs is not the most impossible
thing in the world, particularly if
a bit Of batting is shown behind
whatever good pitching is served
up.
The Griffs dropped the opener
of the four-game set to the Tigers
yesterday, to 0, because they
couldn't solve Tom Bridges, who
scored his nth victory over them
since his entrance in the big
leagues.
It was close, however, as the
Tigers only gathered three bingles
off of Gen. Alvin Crowder,
Manager Cronin's pitcher for the
first eight innings. AS it hap
pened two of these baseknocks
proved to be enough to win the
game, they coming in the eighth
when Doljack doubled and Rogell
singled in succession.
Manager Cronin withdrew
Crowder in the lower portion of
the eighth for Pinch Hitter Sam
Rice in an effort to start a bat
ting rally. But the strategy did
not work out as Bridges "got"
Sammy just as easily as he had
been getting the remainder Of the
Griff regulars during the earlier
innings of the fray.
Bob Burke pitched the ninth
and let the Tigers down without
a score although reached for
single by Johnny Stone after two
had been retired to open the
frame.
Crowder kept the Tigers from
collecting a hit until the sixth
when Bridges himself socked a
single past Kuhel with one out.
No damage resulted from this
as "The General" retired the next
two batters in easy fashion. Then
came the eighth and the hits by
Doljack and Rogell.
The GriffS went until the fifth
before obtaining a hit. Then in
this frame Schultz and Bluege
singled in between outs. Nothing
resulted. A doubleday Schultz
made its presence in the seventh
while Myer socked out a triple in
the eighth, but as before neither
of these threats" proved damag-
ing as Bridges always had enough
in reserve to retire the following
! batsmen.

In comparison to this, Cronin
and his gang have won eight con-
tests, making their percentage
read an even 500 for the cur
rent home stand against their
western invaders. which ends
Sunday with a final contest
against the Detroit Tigers.
The Grifs realize that playing
this sort of ball is not going to
win them a championship this
year. But they do contend that
had some of their brother oppon-
ents been able to stop the Yam
KEGS more consistently than they
have of late, an entirely differ
ent story would be the case right
now. But We'll not go into this
as what's happened has happened,
and it's mighty fortunate, after
all is said and done, that the
Griffs are as near to the Yanks
as they are this minute.
Next Three?
Manager Cronin and his gang
have this aim with them now.

Carl Pflefflin got an unexpected
thrill at Plum Point last week
when they discovered the 48-
foot launch Mae out of Baltimore
flying a distress signal "a baby's

They "ahoyed" it, and learned
that the boat had stripped its
rudder, and that a man, his wife
and two small children were
aboard. Captain" Olive tossed
them q line and towed them to
Plum Point then resumed the fish
ing trip, which proved satisfactory,
boating 267 hardheads, averaging
near two pounds.

SIMS REPORT
MAY AID NAVY
GRID TEAMS
By HARRY COSTELLO

ANNAPOLIS, Md, July 81.
Those who follow the fortunes Of
Navy's athletic teams, particularly
the football eleven, today pointed
out that there is a silver lining
in the cloud cast over the Naval
Academy recently by Admiral
William Snowden Sims, retired.
Admiral Sims said the Academy
is ian amateur institution" and
criticized its educational features
in a minority report submitted to
President Roosevelt. The retired
admiral is chairman of the board
of visitors. He recommended that
only college men be admitted to
the academy.
If and vh n the government
acts on Admiral Sims recon-
mendation, Navy's athletic teams
will improve, quickly bringing
Annapolis to an athletic parity
with West Point.
Low Age Limit
AS pointed out on numerous
occasions, the present age limit
for entrance into Annapolis miti-
gates against Navy's gridiron
chances. In the matter Of "ath-
letic age" in Middies, in distinc-
ton to age by years, Navy is
sadly lacking. The average age
of Navy's football team is much
lower than that Of the average
college team Navy is called upon
to meet on the gridiron, while
Navy suffers even more so when
compared to West Points elevenS.
If the President acts on just a
portion of Admiral Sims report,
and succeeds in getting Congress
to raise the age limit for
entrance into the Academy, thus
permitting men of full college age
to enter, Navy's athletic teams will
class with the best in the coun-
try within a period of two or
three years.
Short of Excellence
At present the mill-run of Navy
grid teams falls short in excel
lence to such teams as Notre
Dame, Southern California,
Army, Michigan and others of
the superior elevenS Of the ma
ton, due more to the immaturity
Of Navy athletes than any other
factor.
For some time now there has
been an agitation to increase the
age limit for entrance into An
napolis. However, the Navy board
has refused to give one inch, with
the result that Navy is called
upon to develop teams out of
greener athletes. most of them
lacking in athletic age"
The present age limit for en-.
trance to the Academy is 19, anu
a youngster who is half a dav
older cannot enter. West Points
entrance age limit is 81. Need
less to state, other colleges have
no such age limits and it is not
uncommon to find grid teams
averaging well above %, the top
age when Navy athletes must
graduate.

The rodeo is limited to 200 en-
tries, instead of 800 as stated
yesterday.
Fishing is good everywhere,
Even the Patuxent, which for
the past month has been rather
shy, has coughed up its quota.
The waters off st. Mary's
county, both in the bay and Po
tomac, are ideal for trolling and
still fishing and the trout have
stepped out in authoritative mum
berS, interspersed with occasional
blues. The trout are getting UP
the bay slowly, but they are get
ting up there.
Small storms, which Scurry
around the bay like mischievous
youngsters, prove worriSome to
the fishermen, churning up the
water into perilous roughnes for
a while, but don't seem to affect
the biting propensities of the
finSters.
Eastern Shore o. X.
The Eastern Shore, from Bloody
Point to the Gooses, swarms with
hardheadS and huge catches have
been made. Trout, blues and a
few rockfish have also been
caught, but the croaking finneyS
are far in the majority.
The prize haul of the week was
made by a party at the Gooses,
which included Detective Sergts.
Nick Murray, steve Brodie, George
Deyo, Buck Bevy and Bob McEwin
and C. B. Sinclair, Fritz Milton,
Milton and Harry Gordon. They
dragged in over 400 hardheads,
weighing nearly 1000 pounds, in
four hours fishing Monday night,
from 8 to midnight. Captain
Lowery took 'em out.
Bloody Point has some excel
lent specimen of hardheads, says
Guy Smith, who yanked in So
babies, tipping the beams at
around three pounds. Tuesday late
at night. Smith tried trolling
without results.
Abe Shapiro, Leo and Tom
GraSSo, Charlie Abbate, Guy
Briner, Bill Feldbusch and Buck
Stanton got out to Sharps Island
in time for the squall late Sunday
afternoon and didn't do more than
wet their lines. Walter and
George Ernest, William F. Dulin
and Roy Sharper had fine luck
there Saturday, landing a large
number of big hardheads and one
trout.
Tony and Frank Moschetto,
Heros Pohlig, Steve Mantzouris,
Charlie Leet, and Arthur Bolti,
boated IS fair-Sized fish, mostly
hardheads, off Shady Side, Sun
day a. m. They found shrimp the
best bait.
Ollie Atlas and wife, Mil
ton Gordon, Mrs. Simon Atlas,
Mrs. Ruth Klein and Mrs. Tilly
Atlas, picked up IS hardheads
and 2 trout off Plum Point.

 If one will recall the financial situation in the late nineties and the result that obtained when the Yukon Territory and Alaska pour ed their stream of gold into Cana da and the United States he can predict with certainty what will happen if Congress will do at least as we'll as Canada is now doing and allow a depletion charge of at least 50 per cent in calculating in come tax on gold and silver pro- duction.
 Exceeds Reckoning
 Director Scott Turner of the U. s. Bureau of Mines has this to say in Economic Paper 6: The scarcity of gold may be illustrated by the fact that if the entire world pro- duction since the discovery of America were cast into a cube it's edges would measure 38.5 feet. It might we'll be questioned whether this gold considered as a metal characterized by certain properties could be worth the toll and sacri- flee required for it's production, but as basis of exchange, making possible commerce among the peo- pleS of the earth it's value to civil ization exceeds all reckoning
 Of the thousands who venture in search of gold only a few com paratively are rewarded. But the lure and romance of gold still per sist and if Congress will give an even bleak to him who is success full in unlocking the frozen as sets" hidden in our producing states and Alaska, the stampede will be on. We need our own gold produced by our own labor and capital both of which under the in suggested will not hesi- tate to play a game which adds to the general wealth of our country.

 Tt is altogether possible that some few producing gold compa- nies and some individuals who are now successfully operating gold properties would be benefited by action such as I have suggested but this possible result ought not to present any serious obstacle He who is willing to play his labor or his capital against the gold locked in the hills, valleys and bowels of this earth, is a sports man of the first order and is en- titled to all he can extract there from.
