Gust a word about the blues
at S. w. Middles and vicinity.
Last week a party of four
visited the MiddleS and 1 want
to say emphatically that the
blues are there and will take the
lures if proper methods of troll
ling are used.
1--WE found one school about 6
o'clock in the morning and 1
am convinced that this one
school would have supplied us
all the fish and sport we wanted

no fish are being taken) we had
not been crowded out by a
flotilla Of nine boats, all trying
for the same school and heed
this, some of them cutting
straight through the middle Of
them.
"NOw, If these boats will show
some signs of courtesy, the fish
ing problem ceases. On every
occasion during the day when
we struck a school these boats
would do the same thing, the
consequences being that nobody
was satisfied.

to see some Of the crafts of good
repute doing this unfOrgivable
act of unSpOrtSmanShip (hOg-

Our party consisted Of Win

Jenkins and myself.
We caught five very good fish
and could have had IS had we
not been up against these con-
ditiOnS.
We ran into at least rs or 30
schools of fair size during the
day, some Of which were cut
into before we even had a
chance to cut around the edges,
as you should.

Strange who drove in the first
run off the Sox southpaw with

is quite obvious that Bluege, Kress
and Strange cannot all start at
the same time.
One of the most pleasant fea-
lures of the third consecutive vic
tory over the falling pallid hose
is that Jack Russell, the tall
Texan, received credit for win
ming.
Cat-Like Agility
Indeed, it was RuSSell's Cat-like
agility in the field that stopped
the White Sox in the last three
innings. In the eighth inning
Dykes singled and that put the
winning run on base. Appling
hunted, but Russell had the play
plotted, and, swooping down on
the ball, forced Dykes at second.
It was fair sort of a play, but
RuSsell's masterpiece was to fol
low. In the ninth Washington
went in as a pinch hitter for Hop
kins and smacked a single to right
field. There was the winning run
and no fooling. Luke Sewell then
rolled a slow bunt down the third
base line, a perfect sacrifice and
perhaps a base hit. But not with
Russell. He was on the ball as a
pelican is on a mackerel. He threw
out Washington at second base.
We are very apt to be without
Buddy Myer for a couple of days
as a result of the peppery cap

Buddy was called out at the plate
on a force play that was as close
as the seconds-even closer.
Greatly enraged he showed the vet
eran Mr.. Dineen around no little,
and as result may be spectator

Outlook Keen

Arriving earlier than expected
Jim Pixlee, head coach of the
George Washington University
football forces, rolled up his
sleeves and plunged in his plans
for the Colonials. Pixlee blew into
town last night.
Today he conferred with his as
sistant, Max harrington, over ar
rangements for the training base
at Camp Let's, Md, Questioned
as to the 1885 gridiron outlook
PiXlee declared:
"Our prospects are pretty
good. We should have as good
a team,"i not better, than last
years. All this hinges upon
the development of last years
SOphOmOres and reserves, to-
.gther with what assistance we
get from last years freshmn.
The years experience of the re-
serves and sophomore should
make them better players.
IF their development ex-
Ceeds our expectations, we'll
have a better team than antici-
pated. If their development is
not what we figure it should be,
then we'll have a team below
that of last years.
Pixlee also revealed he does moi
expect his chief assistant, Ler
Walsh, to report at Camp Let's
until about September S. Walsh Ii
now connected with the PWA lega
department in Chicago and wants
to visit his home folks before head
ing for Camp Let's.
Bill Myers, backfield coach, will
be on hand the first day, as will
harrington and Jean Sexton
These latter two coach the Fresh
man but are always pressed into
service during the training camp
period, not only looking after tht
firSt-year players but aiding with
the varsity.
Ed Clark, tackle and captain Of
last years eleven, and Hank
Strayer, regular guard last year
will assist with instructions tt

Why Buy EN-
Contrary to impressions spread
by many gazetteers, the Wash
ington ball club owns no part
of the Albany or Harrisburg
teams, but merely has a work
ing agreement with them.
"Why buy them" Griff Opines,
"'when 1 can have anything
they've got in return for tiding
them over little financial diff
ficultieS from time to time.
When they get a little too deep
into me, / simply lift a ball
player here and there when I
want One!"
In their income tax returns,
baseball clubs are allowed to
charge off as depreciation the
difference in what a team gets
for a player against what he
cost the club, if he is sold at a
loss. For instance, were the
Washington club to sell Buck
Newsom for $4,000, their next
income tax return could show a
credit of $4,000 on the basis
that; Buck cost SAC. 000-Which
he didn't.

Soon after the assembly of the
league opened its session. Sir Samuel
Hoare, British foreign secretary, cleo
trified the gathering by an outspoken
warning to Italy and France. He de-
clared Great Britain recognized Italy's
need for expansion and raw materials
but would not admit these could not
be obtained peaceably. Pounding the
tribune, he said:
Britain stands for steady collective
resistance to all acts of unprovoked
aggression" He paused, struck the
tribune again, and repeated quietly:
"Steady collective resistance to all
acts of unprovoked aggression"
Sir Samuel more than intimated that
Great Britain was prepared to take
sanctions against Italy in case of ag-
erosion provided all the other men,
bers Of the league shared the risk
and If not, then England was prepared
to isolate herself from the continent.
This seemed to put it up to Premier
Laval of France, to choose between
the friendship of Britain and that Of
Italy. Laval. meanwhile, was trying
to persuade Mussolini to accept anoth-
er plan he had devised and postponed
his speech to the assembly.

and Sweden were the first to support
Hoare's position, announcing their
countries would fulfill all obligations.

to death by the senator's ever present
bodyguards.
The surgeons and physicians worked
increasingly to save Long, but his
strength steadily waned and shortly
after o'clock Tuesday morning, about
thirty hours after the shooting, he
passed away.
Longs body lay in state in the ro-
tunda of the Capitol building while
many thousands passed by the bier.
The impressive funeral services were
held on the front terrace and the dead
senator was inferred in sunken gar
den of the Capitol grounds. Rev. Ger
aid L. X. Smith, the young minister
who deserted a rich parish in Shreve-
port to follow Long, was the only
speaker at the funeral. The only mu-
sic was the song, Every Man King"
played in minor key and dirge time
by the State University band.
Though the man who killed Long
was known as one of his political foes,
the real story of the assassination was
shrouded in uncertainty. Earl Chris
tenberry, secretary of the late senator,
declared that Long was murdered as
a result of conspiracy; that a num-
Der of his enemies formed "jury of
DEATH" and that Doctor Weiss was
selected by lot to fire the fatal bullet.
To those who are familiar with the
conditions in Louisiana this story does
not sound especially fantastic.
What will become of Longs "empire"
is question that agitates all his fol-
lowers, and all the people of the state
as well. For the present, it seemed
likely, the members of the Long ma
chine will sink their personal ambl-
tons and try to hold the organization
intact. It will be difficult for them to
decide on a successor to the "Kingfish"
as their leader. Gov. o. K. Allen is
considered too mild and peace-loving.
Seymour Weiss-no relative of the as
sassin-treasurer of the Long organ
ization, is the strongest man in the lot,
but he always has drawn back from
holding a public position. Allen A.
Ellender, speaker of the house, may
be the man finally selected, though
Lieut.. Gov. James A. Noe is to the
fore.
Political leaders of all parties ex-
pressed their deep regret for the as
sassination of Senator Long.
