the EDITOR

TO TIE Edi1or-I am a reader Of
the brownsville Herald and saw
your write-up Of Nov. Q pertaining
TO the fishing nc Port Isabel ask
ing for opinions-I here say ] have
been q commercial fisherman for
the rast a years, not only In Texas
but other States. There Is law
against drag nets, but M al have
Q drag net and still ii win not be
an unlawful net, 10 Is the way 1t
Is used, Il would take an army TO
inforce the Drag Net Law.
Personally ] use gill nets and
find that a better living can be
made with them. But gin METERS
are getting an unfair deal-we have
70 pay sl.00 tax for each 100 feet
OF netting we use, therefore one
gill METER viii pay more taxes
than 10 or IL drag METERS, AZ said
drag meters do not have TO use as
much Meeting.
The dealers at Port Isabel get at
least n third o. the fish for the
use Of their boat and drug nets, fish
can be produced that way with less
cost than with gill nets. NOW my
opinion Is the closed waters Is
bunk-why don't this state have
fish laws like other states-Have
a closed season on each kind OF
fish during their spawning periods
the trout and red fish do not
spawn at the same time, this would
have 10 apply 70 hooks and line
fisherman as well as commercial
fisherman.
find that many Of the so-called
commercial fisherman r only husi-
ness men out OF the Valley who go
fishing probably once or twice a
month, II ne catches an over or
under size fish IL "a seldom he let's
him 60 back into the waters also ]
have proof they sell their catch
many times and very few Of the
so-called sports" have q license to
sell fish or use artificial bait.
II seems mighty hard on the
commercial fisherman to be asked
to give up their way Of making q
living to this so-called sport.
The pole and line fisherman
thinks he should make as much
with his one dollar investment as a
net fisherman with his $500 in
vestment-I speak In behalf OF your
citizens, AMI tax payers-not drift
ers who came into the state 70
sponge the easiest way for a few
months.
We live here. have our families
here-spend our money here. II
the Laguna Is closed II win be the
fault OF the fish dealers not the
fishermen. Where the majority OF
the commercial fishermen fish, It
Is out OF the way Of the sport fish
ing. so I fail to understand where
the interference comes IN.
Some time ago your paper pub
hshed a piece about one party's
line becoming intagled in gill
nets-I thing that man told II IS a
joke. II It really did happen it Is
q very rare occurrence. Sincerely
"A Commercial Fisherman.

Refer TO Trail Battle

In this case, frequent reference Is
made by all the judges to a fight in
volving the removal Of the Trail
county seat from Caledonia to Hills
boro. In that case the sufficiency Of
the petitions was attacked after Hills
boro had won the election but the
court held that the effort to obtain
q legal remedy came too late; that the
people already had spoken and the
court would not upset their decision.
Whatever the decision in the
Noodle case two things apparently
are clear. One IS that Noodle will
win the first round since the express
sion in Bronsons opinion IN the re-
call case that the action was wrongly
directed against the state canvassing
board probably will hold here. Thus,
Noodle may reasonably expect to get

peoples will.

pionship on the Bobby Jones
course. Therell likely be more
than 20 others of the country's
best golfers playing in that tour
ney. Yet, Pm hoping eagerly that
Bobby will win.
Why is that? Not just because he
is the greatest of all golf cham
pions trying comeback; not just
because he's game guy facing
tremendous odds, and not just be-
cause it will make a great story
if he does win.
Digging beneath all the superla-
tives, etc, I find Pm hoping he'll
win simply because the little At
lantan always struck me as
swell fellow, in spite of the honors
he won. l can't remember single
thing about Bobby that would make
me dislike him. / think of Jones
in all the spots that l can recall.
and the thoughts taste good. If
alls of his abilities and glories were
wrapped up in some other human
hide, I might be hoping secretly
that he would lose.
That's a funny thing about
sports writer's. They're supposed
to be, like supreme court judges,
coldly neutral individuals, who
smother prejudices, passions and
loves in frigid bosoms.
Psychology
But dig beneath the deceptive
hide and you will find more pre-
JUDGES, passions and loves than a
circus pony could jump over in
five tries Take me. for example.
A few days ago I sat and watched
Frank Bowden eliminate Jean Bor-
otra from the indoor tennis cham
pionships without a trace of emo
ton. Yet inside was all tied up
and saying: Don't let that Bowden
VIM" Tt was not because I had
anything against Bowden particu-
larly, although he is a bit aloof
when he happens to score major
victory, but because Borotra hap
pens to be one of my favorite
heroes.
And I'd like to have a dollar
for every time. during a Sharkey
fight, that l had hoped the other
guy would hang a right hand on
Jacks jaw and knock him colder
than a banana split. I've got likes
and dislikes in every sport you can
| name. Glenn Cunningham, the
| new mile record holder, is as nice
q fellow to talk to as I ever met,
but his habit of taking warmth
up exercises in the center of the
track before a race, annoys me and
| l always pull against him.
It's Keith Browns haircut. 4
| believe which causes me to gain
an inward satisfaction when the
Yale pole vaulting ace misses a
record.
But Bobby Jones, there's man.!
