4 u and, with the coming of
those pangs was born the instinct to
hunt and fish, Charlie Jackson, dep
uty commissioner of the United States
Bureau of Fisheries, told his radio
audience as a guest speaker for Rod
and Stream.
He said that with fishing of such
ancient and honorable origin, it is of
little wonder that We of the modern
day find that fish occupy an honored
place on the festive board Of many
peoples
In America" he observed, 1--WE
honor the turkey on Thanksgiving
day in particular, and continue to
think very highly of the turkey on
Christmas and New Year. There
are, however, many in this land of
ours who have fish as the principal
item of the meal on certain days.
Thousands of carp are fattened annu-
ally on corn in the ponds Of the
Middle West and shipped alive in
tank cars to New York and Phila-
delphia to furnish the Polish and
Jewish people their holiday season
meal. On the Fourth of July no right
thinking New Englander should be
without his boiled salmon and green
peas, and nearly 100000 pounds of
eels are imported annually at Christ
mas time to gladden. the tables OF the
Italians of New York and other Amer
ican cities.
THE Greeks in Tarpon Springs,
Fla, celebrate one of their holi-
days with octopus cooked in olive oil.
Oriental settlements on our West
Coast insist on having red snappers
for the proper celebration of some of

as the important dish of the Scan
dinavians at New Year, while salted
salmon is considered a most accept
| able New Year gift by the japanese"
The old saying, set a thief to
catch a thief" might have had its
inspiration from angling where fish
have been used to catch fish, our guest
speaker said, pointing out that for
many centuries in certain sections Of
the world the octopus has been used
by the natives to catch fish. The
octopus is securely tied on a string
and lowered into the water over the
fish. AS Mr.. octopus detests the
sensation of being suspended, the mo-
ment he tocches anything, be it
fish. stone or bottom, he grapples it
with all his might. Having seized the
fish the native merely retrieves the
octopus and relieves it of its catch
A very interesting variation of
this sort of fishing occurred during
the World War. 1.-THE Cretans," the
speaker said, observing the loss Of
coal overheard in refueling vessels,
were most anxious to recover this

mineral for their own use. After
due thought they decided to fish for
it. They used a sort of spy glass to
peer down into the water to locate
the coal. Then as the coal could not
swallow whatever bait they might
use, they had the bait grapple the
coal. An octopus on a string accom-
plished their purpose"
The Chinese, he said, have method
Of taking fish that Is similar in prin-
ciple, using a cormorant to catch the
fish. The cormorants fly out over the
water, dive to seize their prey, and
then return with it to their masters
No matter how many fishermen are
fishing, each bird returns unerringly
neck keeps it from appropriating the
catch for itself. Infinite patience and
time are required before these birds
are properly trained, he pointed out
Throughout all this history OF
fishing, man had little cause to pay
attention to the condition of the sup
ply of fish. Nature always was most
generous. Il was not until the last
century that man commenced to ques-
ton the problem of depletion. In
keeping up with increasing demands
made by progressively expanding pop
ulations, Nature is being taxed to the
limit, and beyond, to maintain the
supply.
MAN has so changed the streams
and lakes in his industrial and
agricultural rush, that no self-re-
specting fish of 100 years ago would
consider them fit places in which to
live. Fields have been plowed, forests
denuded, so that every rain washes
down torrents of silt to give the
poor fish a mud bath. Dams have been
erected to generate electricity and
sewage of all sorts is being dumped
into the rivers to smother the fish
Today, if a fish can get over the dam
or through the turbine wheels, or does
not go astray into an irrigation ditch;
If he can hold his nose long enough
to pass the opening of some offensive
sewer; if no one dumps a load OF
sawdust on him; if he can live with
out oxygen; If he is not buried in
mud bank during torrential rain;
and If he can find just a little food
that has managed to survive also
then possibly he may give some sports
man a few minutes of pleasure and
grace some table," the speaker said
In conclusion the deputy commits
sioner observed that "the Bureau Of
Fisheries looks at it from the sports
mans standpoint and propagates fish
TO aid Nature. Then the bureau looks
at it from the fishes standpoint AND
is fighting to make the fishes home
what it should be, the home thai
Nature provided. The two standpoints
may seem far apart, but in reality
they are the same. Both mean better
fishing for food and sport"

his four and -one-half year term. Tt
get Manush, the Nationals traded
Goose GosIin to st. Louis for Heln1e
and General Crowder and the COM
bination eventually was to mean
pennant for Washington. In 1880, his
first season with the GriffS, he battec
$50. The next year he slumped to .307
but in 1882 he regained his batting
eve and socked at a .342 pace. As
one of the chief cogs in the champion
ship 1888 team, Heinie batted .33t
and with 221 hits he led the American
League in number Of safe blows.
When the winning COM
bination blew up in 1884, Heinie con-
tinued his mad pace at bat to hit
.349, boosting his major league average
for IL years to 337. Then last season
he never was able to get up a gallop
His .273-mark was the lowest of his
professional career, which was started
in 1921 with Edmonton in the West
ern Canada League.
Manush, never much of thrower,
often has been the cause of rival base
runners taking an extra sack in Grif-
fifth Stadium, which has the biggest
stretch of outf1eld in the American
League At Boston, however, his lack
of throwing power will not handicap
Heinie much because of the short left
field fence at Fenway Park.
JOHNSON is far superior as throw
er and as a base runner. A few
years ago Roy was noted as one of the
speediest runners in the Junior circuit,
stealing 20 bases in 1929, SO in 1881
and 20 more in 1892 johnson also is
rated as a better run producer than
ManuSh, although there is not much
difference in their 1885 run-batted-in
columns. Roy, playing in las games,
drove across 66 runs, while Manush,
in 11e games, batted in Sc scores.
Reynolds rise to the majors was one
of the quickest on record. A great
athlete in four sports at Southwestern
University, Carl spent less than a
year in the minors before joining the
White Sox in 1927. At Chicago, in his
hrst three full seasons, Reynolds was
something of a sensation, batting 1923
In 1928, BIT the following year and
1859 in 1890.
During the season of 1881 Reynolds
slumped to .290, but Washington,
casting about for hard hitting
right-handed outfielder, sent Bump
Hadley, Sam Jones and Jack Hayes
to the White Sox in 1892 for Rey-
holds and Johnny Kerr. Griff felt
certain that he finally had obtained
the punch needed, but Carl fingered
only during the 1882 season, when
he batted .305 in campaign cut
short for him by the famous punch
delivered at the plate by Bill Dickey
of the Yanks. Dickey's blow, thrown
In q fit of rage when Carl slid Wig
prously into home plate, broke Carl's
Jaw.
During the Winter of 1882 Reynolds
was traded to st. Louis, along with
Sammy West and Lloyd Brown. for
three more Stalwarts of the champion
ship team the following season, Cos
lin, Fred Schultz and Walter Stewart.
A sum of $4,000 also passed from
Griffith to the Browns.
Reynolds. always a fast starter, Is
reputed to be one of the best batters
in base ball during the first two
months of the season. Griffith figures
he may well step in and win regular
cost next season, at least during the
early stages. It is more likely, how
ever, that Reynolds will be used in a
future trade-and not for more out
helders.
