 Watch tho naturais as they hatch from tho water. IT they are riding low on the surface, choose n dry offering with few hackles to mako it initiate the natural; if rid. Ing high, select n fly with ample hnckles--bivisiblos arc excellent in this caso--to make your imitation ride high.

|SOPWITH WELL EQUIPPED FOR YACHT RACING

London, (UP)-T. O. M. sop- with, successor to Sir "T0mmy" Isipton aa challenger for the Amerlca'B cup, has established a reputation both in tho ira and in
 Recently his new ali.stcei yacht EndeAvor, with which he will challenge for thecup, was launched. It is to undergo severe trials this summer before sailing to the United States to compete against tho best American yacht. .,.. ... Trained Mind .... ...
 Scientist an denglneer, sopwith has brought trained mind to the arh of seamanahip, and his knowl- edge of aeronautica gives him not Q little understanding of how to obtain the best from perfectly-cut sails or q well designed yacht.
 Seven years ago he was com. parativoiy unknown in yacht rac- ing. After seasons experience in the 12-moter Doris, he commiH- sioned tho l2-meter Mouette in 1929 and became the leading helmsman of his class during three successive seasons. winning 100 prizes, of which 70 were flrsts.
 Tn 1889 he sold M0uette and bought the ex-chniiengor, sham rock V, winning n fair number Of prizes, including the Kings cup . notable success for q helmsman'a s first season in tho "J" class.
 Altered Shamrock V

Ho has made Bomeof the most spec tacuiar starts in yacht racing, and none more SO than one at Babba- combe in half gale. There ho reached along tho line at great pace, heeling at m angle of 4b do- grees. and was over tho line q few seconds after tho gun. During this race his yacht was dismasted in n violent aquall.
 Man of Swift Action
 At tho helm sopiwth lives Con his toes" with intuitiv0 exactnesa ho measures every move of his ops ponents. A man of swift action, yet ho is retiring by nature, nl- moset shy. His self poiBo, personal charm and confident resignation are merely tho baffling part of ono who is fiercely competitive in his nportBmanahip. Given good yacht and some wind, his mastery of the holm allows him to coax 100 DOT cent out of both.
 Those who raeo with him arc struck by his power of detachment and concentration when nt tho helm. Completely obiivious Co everything except the race, he ia one with his yacht. Before giving an order to captain or crew, he calculatoa it's possible reactions. II he gnmblcs on n manuever, it ih almost like betting on n certainty.

 Dad News
 Boston's Rcd gox reduced to the limit yesterday by giving Joe Judge, veteran first baseman, hts unconditional release. Detroit rec leased on option Stove Larkin. right-handed pitcher to Toledo of the American Association. The New York Yankees are expected to aena Norman KieHfi rookie cntchery and pitcher Charley Devens Co their Newark farm club for fur@ ther seasoning. Cleveland will rec lease one man, identity as yet un~ known. Tho Dodgers released Phil Page, left-handed pitcher, and Glenn Chapman, utility outfelderxl to Albany of the International Cir< cult and SO on.
 yeuE UuVMuno tV-HsBHs nstwsW American League teams will make western National League outfits will begin the,r invasion of the east. Not until this second phase of intersectionai conflict is well under way can the true merits of outstanding clubs be determined.
 Tho baseball world will flx it's binoculars particularly upon th9 Yankees and Chicago Cubs, Iend~ CTS of the Amorican and National League, respectively, during the next two weeks. They will be mak- ing their first long road trips. Tatis ures on the road last year cost both the pennants.
 Cubs Continue
 Yesterday tho Cubs recapturod tho National League by shading tho champion Giants, 2 to q. In 10 innings. It was one of the three games permitted by weather in the majors. Idle Pittsburg dropped to second place. Chuck Kiein's double In the 10th, with Warneke and 0a= Ian aboard, drove In the winning run. Terry and Camilii kept tha score even in the ninth with hcm~ CTS for their respective clubs. An tUU AIutrtCuU AftuSQGs kttt0t& rose Into a third-place tic with Idle Philadelphia by virtue Of . b.0 shutout over Washington. Rain ended the game after the sixth. vic Horreii held the Senator's to two hits. Tho senators dropped out of first division.
 Grove Did We'll The White sox downed the Red Box, 8 to 2, behind George lgarn- shaw's four-hit pitching. Lefty Grove, in his second relief attempt this season, pitched exeelientiy for the Red 9ox during six and two- thirds innings, but he took the mound too late. The White eox had garnered six runs before his ars rival, or Henry Johnson. Bill Wer~ Der made Q Boston homer. | Rain, wet grounds and threat- ening weather prevented all other | games.

BODY MUST BEl KEPT
 DOWN IN IRON SHOTS
 Whom playing an iron, from the number one club to the niblick, t Is necessary tO stay down to the shot. That means that tho left side Of tho body must not strain upward as the ball is hit.
 The left shoulder, loft hand, and ciubhead must remain down, and the weight of the body shifts with the stroke until most of it Ia car rieh by the left foot.
 This advice will be of great value if the player will remember it as he reaches tho green. On short shots over a bunker the tendency Is to look up more so than on the longer ones.
