The first batsman to face him popped

out, ending the game.
Young Heurich, backer of the team,
was responsible for Johnny Fenlon's
presence in the game. Fenlon, center
fielder of the Brewers, was in Fred

with his two brothers and father for
Detroit, where they will vacation
Heurich wired Fenlon to report for
the game, promising him transporta-

will be a cynosure tonight when
play-of for the Virginia State cham

on the courts of the defending cham
pion, George c. Thompson.
Running Frye a close second for
attention will be Harold 'Hoot" Danz-
berger, third in the qualifying round,
who, like Frye, will be making his
debut in The Evening Star tourna-
ment.
In pairing the PLAYERS today, the
tournament management tipped q
coin to decide whether to place
Champion Thompson ln the upper
draw with Frye or the lower with
Danzberger.
Either way" laughed the wirey
veteran of six campaigns in The Star
championships, I'm in a tough spot"
He drew Frye's bracket.
Strongest Field Ever.
THE Virginia scrap promises to be
three-cornered, with Thompson
and Danzberger, a 15-year-old
southpaw, or Frye and Danzberger
meeting in the final. The fourth
seeded player is Ed Henry, dangerous,
but whose pitching has been spotty
all season.
The field is by far the strongest ever
to compete for the Old Dominion
title. The lowest qualifying score in
the 100-shoe test was 124 as against
Ito last year.
Tonight's play will start at 7:30
o'clock and continue at least to the
semi-finals, perhaps to the final. Due
to wide interest in the Virginia tour
nament, the qualifying round In
Washington, which was to have begun
tonight, mas been postponed until to-
morrow, and the Capital City proper
will be strongly represented in the
Falls Church gallery.
Virginia will qualify five players for
the metropolitan district finals, to
be contested on the Playground De-
partment's courts at the lexington
Recreation Center on Thursday and
Friday nights Of next week. Those
who reach the semi finals at Falls
Church will carry on into the metro
politan, with the fifth place to be
decided by a play-of of the defeated

any bass angler that it will be around
the first of September before he can
again cast for his favorite fish.
Saltwater fishing is picking up in
the upper part of the bay, according
to reports. Some good catches of
blues and sea trout have been made
in the Herring Bay district and across
the bay of Tilghman and Sharps
Islands.
e. S. DuVall. Clarence Rephan, local
anglers, and DR.. Mclean of FroStburg,
Md, visited Solomons Island Sunday
and Monday. They selected the serv-
ices of Capt. Tom Dorsey and fished
from just before daybreak until sun-up
each day. Their two outings landed
them ZIG fish.
DuVall said he was surprised to see
so few machines at Solomons last
Sunday, and be asked Capt. Dorsey
about it. The boat captain said a
report had been circulated in Wash
ington that fishing was over for the
season at Solomons. Such report
is absurd.
"HERE is a certain time in each
fishing season when nothing but
small fish are landed on the
majority Of the grounds. This usually
takes place about the middle of Au-
gust. And this condition prevailed at
Solomons, as it did at other grounds,
a week or 10 days ago. At that time

leave for their Winter homes or places
farther down the bay.
Perhaps some anglers disgusted
with their luck at that time circulated
such a report. We know of anglers
who visited Bloody Point, Poplar,
Tilghman and Sharp Islands and
other places and returned without
any fish.
But the new moon has changed all
this And now better and larger fish
are being landed, blues and sea trout,
and, of course, some hardhead.
WYE HAVE a report from Walter
" Handy, jr., from Bancroft, Va.
He says, 81 thought I might
report that fishing is good at the
mouth of the Potomac. In recent
trip to Reedville, Va, our party found
it excellent. Two large catches we're
made. One day lot fish were landed
and on another day 120. These
catches included trout, hardhead,
mullet and spot. Those in the party
we're Mr.. and Mrs w. K. Handy,
Walter Handy, jr.; Elizabeth Handy
and Mr.. and Mrs. Don c. Ritchie"
Down on the Southwest Middles

ing excellent sport. These fish are
reported to be breaking water in the
early morning and again in the late
afternoon, with occasional schools ap-
pearing on the surface all day.
DR.. William j. T. Thomas headed
