FIST II~G
(AccOrding to Izaak
WGLtOn)

For several weeks now many
tarpon have been seen rolling and
playing the cuts and channels be-
tween the Keys from Miami to
Key West. Normally, tarpon will
not take bait until the middle or
end of March and continue to do
so until about July.
The first tarpon was taken at
Long Key Fishing Camp, Long
Key, Fla, by Lieutenant Colonel
Gillett, of the English army, who
yearly visits this camp for some
of the fine fishing. It weighed so
pounds and put up a real battle
on the light tackle the colonel was
using.
ID. C. Anglers Haul Catch
The second tarpon taken was
by a Washington angler, Arthur
J. White, and it was also his first
trip for these gamey jumpers.
White, fishing about two and one.
half miles below Key West, at
what they call Mangroove Roots,
early last week, caught a 147-
pound tarpon. It was 6 feet 11Ka
inches long and 40 inches in
girth. Two hours and ten minutes
were required to bring it to boat
on a 12-ounce tip and 81 thread
line. The following day four more
were caught, but not so large. On
the same party was John c.
Hayes, local attorney, who landed
a 45-pound sailfish that was six
feet long.
Our local fishing has really
started, both for catfish in the
fast water below Great Falls and
for our freshwater mullet in the
many nearby streams. In many
cases the water is full Of ice and
very muddy, but if the mullet
can see to get the worm, why
should the fisherman worry.
Fish at Goose Creek
On Friday A. Blustein and
George Llewellyn Travelled to
Goose Greek in Virginia, opposite
the well known Eight Mile Level
at Seneca. Their catch, although
small, gave them some real sport.
One about a pound and another
well over two pounds. The day be-
fore at the same place seven nice
ones were caught.
Those fishing the Level over
the weekend didn't do so we'll.
From what we could find out we
don't think they caught anything
at all, although the preceding
week it was good there.

come home Babe Ruth as a mem
A large crowd of admirers
planned to greet the Babe when
he steps off a New York train
at the Back Bay station this eve
ming.
The "sultan Of Swat" comes to
attach his signature to a three
year contract which makes him
a player-aSsiStant manager-Sec-
ond vice president and the great
est gate attraction the Tribe has
ever had.
And it was regarded as pretty
definite that the Babe would be-
come field manager of the Braves
in 1886, succeeding Bill NC
Kechnie. The latter, however,
may be retained by the Braves,
possibly as general manager.
After the contract-signing for
malities, the Babe is the guest
of honor at a reception given by
Judge Emil Fuchs, president of
the Braves. Ruth returns to New
York at midnight.
Fuchs Faces Notes
Reports persisted that Fuchs
would be forced to relinquish his
majority ownership in the Tribe if
he failed to meet two notes for
$205 900 due at Boston bank on
April S, but it was understood the
judge would be able to pay or at
least materially reduce the notes.
The office of the Braves released
two kilograms, one sent by Nc
Kechnie to Judge Fuchs and the
other by Ruth to McKechnie.
The wire to Fuchs read:
Answering your kind wire,
notifying me in advance Of the
successful carrying out Of their
plans with my friend Babe Ruth.
please convey to him that
the spirit and sentiment ex-
pressed by him toward me is
fully reciprOcated. We shall
work together for the success Of
the Braves. 1 know that with
the Babes experience and his
great baseball mind he will be
of valuable assistance to me and
/ am glad to welcome him as my
associate and Us a member Of
the Braves"
The telegram from Ruth to Nc.
Kechnie read:
Dear Bill: I want you to
know that / am with you and
expect to remain with you to
the end. Regards to the boys
and thank you for your kind
words expressed toward me in
your telegram"
Prior to the issuance Of the
kilograms, Ruth had said in New
York:
81 will take full charge of the
Braves on the field next year."
At st. Petersburg, Fla. Nc
Kechnie had said:
I'm boss now, maybe Babe
will succeed me; l don't know
and / don't care. Judge Fuchs
has always told me that 1
would manage the Braves as
long as he is connected with
the club"
Fuchs issued a statement de.
claring that McKechnie would
continue to be the teams manager
in 1885, but left a loophole for
