RUN
IN LOWER
POTOMAC
By GINO SINH


Piney Point leaps with a sweep
ing flourish right into the midst
Of things piscat0rial.
A run of large rockfish is on
down in that sector Of the lower
Potomac and anglers are taking
advantage Of it.
The best fishing IS after sun.
down, when the rocks come to
the surface and can be seen
breaking.
The best catch to date was
nine, weighing between S and II
pounds, made by two fishing cap
tainS Friday q week ago. WedneS-
day Captain Goldsborough had o
party out which brought in sew.
eral.
Sid Atlas landed a nine-pounder
Monday while out fishing with
Milton Gordon, at Piney Point.
The hardheadS are still plenti-
full. Sid and Milton brought In
~ huge ones along with the big
rock, and also had five trout.
They saw large schools of pan
sized blues breaking, too.
Peculiar Experience
Sid had q peculiar experience
with the hardheadS. While fish
ing with a medium sized live soft
shell crab on his line, he felt a
terrific tug and thought he had a
rockfish. On pulling it to the
surface he discovered it to be a
3& pound hardhead, which had
swallowed the crab, hook and all.
Southwest Middles are reported
swarming with giant blues and
trout, though the blues are more
numerous.
Prevailing winds are interfering
greatly with the fishing every
where, keeping the lower Potomac
and the bay waters choppy and
rolling with heavy swells.
The Gooses continue to supply
their share of finsters, for those
anglers who can stand the choppy
waters long enough to catch
some. Colonial Beach is also a
heavy contributor.
Some Of the largest spot ever
seen are being boated around
Blackstone Island.
Lee Siemon and Jesse and Edna
Yorker had fair luck in the lower
| PatuXent Sunday.
DR.. Ignatius RutkoSki and his
wife headed a successful party
! to the Gooses over the past
weekend, yanking in 1874 large
hardheads, all weighing over two
pounds. They did the human
thing, too, for they turned about
80 of them over to Eacho and
Co., at the Municipal fish market,
to be distributed to the city's
needy.
The party included besides the
good doctor and his frau, Drs.
Stubbs, DeVito and Egan OF
Emergency Hospital, DR.. and MrS.
Dick Wilkinson, jr., Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnny Freeman, DR.. and MRS.
Marian Alley, Mrs. Buckley. Mr..
and Mrs. Don Conwell. Mr.. and
Mrs. Borrelli, DR.. John Schwarz-
mann, Sesson and Sherman.
They were a bit disappointed
when they failed to catch a few
trout.
Arlington Anglers
A group of Arlington county
anglers, E. T., E. c. and J. j.
Mateer, Dick King and Arthur
Potter, picked up around 50 hard.
heads and two trout inside of 20
minutes off Governors Run, when
the fish started biting suddenly
after the party had been out for
several hours without success.
However. they were thoroughly
disguised when the boatman told
them, while the finsters were
striking the hardest, that he had
to put back to shore to pick up
another party.
He wouldn't listen to their
earnest pleadings and offers Of
extra pay, stating that his chief,
Captain North, wouldn't permit
him to do otherwise. The anglers
were thoroughly diSgusted.

TH|SSEASON

Let those who will stick up for
the dainty nuances Of French
cooking. but hungry Lou Gehrig,
the iron man Of the Yankees, win
take picked eels. pigs knuckles,
sauerkraut and haSenpfeffer for
his.
For it is on such solid fare Lou
is daily putting new records into
the books and on it he hopes to
erase many now held by the illus
triouS G. Herman Ruth.
For this season Lou will be sat
isfied to lead the American League
in hitting .378 today is topped
only by Heinie ManuSh-to lead in
runs batted in, runs scored, most
hits, most extra bases and most
homers. Aside from those few
things he expects to do almost
nothing to help the Yanks to .
pennant.
Lou is already in the record
books quite a few times as, for
example, with four homerS in
four times at bat in one game;
seven homers in six consecutive
games (three with the bases
fulO; 1874 runs batted in for q
league mark and this his ninth
consecutive year driving in more
than 100 runs Q season.
Hit IS HOmers
To date Lou has scored 80
runs. driven in l2S and made
IA hits. He is leading both
leagues with IS homerS and he
has hit for q total Of 284 bases.
All, those eelS and haSenpfeffer.
What power lies in their solid
depths.
He has made seven hits in
his last seven times at bat and
yesterday he hit two homerS and
drove in four runs while the
YankS were knocking off the
AS, S to /. Volta man is that
Gehrig.
Incidentally. Lou made o field
ing mark yesterday only twice
surpassed and only equalled six
times in all the long history Of
major league baseball when he
went through the game with
only one putout and no assists.
Twice in the last 50 years first
baSemen have gone through q
game without q fielding chance
and six times previously they
made only one putout and no
assists. Really, you can't say too
much for that Gehrigian diet.
Johnny Allen had famed IL
and had a Shutout in sight until
he hurt his arm in the ninth
and the lone Athletic run was
driven in off Murphy.
There were other notable pitch
ing featS yesterday. Schoolboy
Rowe and Sorreu between them
gave the White Sox only one
hit and the Tigers slaughtered
CASTOR and KinEy to win, 40.
And Pearson, of the Indians,
let the Browns down with six
hits and won, Ga.
HubbeIl Wins
Over in the older circuit, Eule
Moore, the Phillies' new Indian
pitcher, hooked up in quite a
duel with Carl Hubbell, the
Giants ace, and the latter got
his fifteenth conquest and a
2.to-O decision when Johnny Yer
geZ hit D homer with Travis
Jackson aboard. Jackson got
three Of the Giants seven hits.
The Phils got only six off Hub
and the one chance they had to
score went glimmering on the
wings Of Q fast double play.
The Cubs clung to the Giants
heels by knocking over the Reds,
5-4, and the Cards, with Dizzy
Dean registering his nineteenth
victory. heat the Pirates. 0-3.

SUBSIDIES ON
OCEAN MAILS

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. U,Rl -
The complete reorganization of
ship mail subsidies was forecast to-

Defining ocean mail contracts as
subsidies in reality, President
Roosevelt expressed the opinion that
some of the subsidies were given
where they should not have been.
so far as mail carrying was concern =

At the same time, however. he let
it be known that he was in favor o.
subsidies as such in order to keen

and to meet the cost of competition.
which is higher for American ship
owners because of their scale Of wa

The White House also revealed
that the ocean mail situation which
was aired by a special senate COM

lieved that to facilitate handling of
