White Steals Home.

THE Tigers we're not to be denied
this time, however. They seized
advantage of the opportunity
given them by Burke and pulled up
to a tie after Russell had been
rushed to the left-hander's relief.
Fox swung for Hogsett at the out
set Of the home ninth, and singled.
White followed to walk. Russell then
took the hill and Walker sacrificed.
Gehringer's bounce to the pitcher
was high enough to let Fox get in
and move White to third. This
brought up the dangerous Greenberg
again, but what ensued was due
solely to Russell's overconfldence.
AS Russell wound up for his first
pitch to the big batter. White ran
far up the line toward the plate.
He was deliberately challenging the
deliberate pitcher. The pitch was q
strike and White hustled back to
third. Again Russell wound up, and
again White went tearing up the
line.
For an instant Russell ignored the
speeding Tiger. but White kept on.
Then Russell hurled, but too late.
Just under the pitch White slid
home. The Tigers were in the ball
game again.
But not for long.

catches Of blues, weighing from two
to nine pounds. They are reported
to be so numerous that they can be
seen tumbling out Of each breaking
wave, with schools covering miles
in area. Some of the captains are
said to be anchoring their boats so
that the fishermen can drop their
lures over the side for the blues to
snag themselves. These fighting, ami
mated chopping machines are reported
to be everywhere, inside and outside
the inlet, and all parties are returning
with large catches. Also the surf
casters are said to be having q great
time landing blues and channel bass
from the north side of the inlet.
Joe Turner, well-known local
wrestling and boxing promoter, flshed
at Oregon Inlet two weeks ago today
On this trip he did not have much
luck, just four channel bass, so he
made return trip last week end, ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bond and Miss Florence Feass. On
this trip there was different story to
tell. They landed 1856 blues, weigh
ing from four to six pounds, and five
channel bass. Turner landed two
forty-two Founders of this species
and each of the other members Of the
party landed one.
Norman Kednig and Lieut.. G. D.
Palmer, U. S. NJ, accompanied by their
wives, returned last week from Oregon
Inlet, reporting great sport. They
flshed only one day, on account of q
northeaster, but they landed 112 blues,
weighing from five to six and one-half
pounds. They also picked up three
channel bass running in weight from
rs to IS pounds.
The United States Weather Bureau
informs us that today should be good
day for the anglers at Oregon Inlet.
This region was visited by showers
Thursday and Friday, but yesterday
the weather was fair and that there
were no prospects Of bad weather for
today.
James D. Jarman at Ocean City,
Md, writes that the fish have not
started biting there He said a few
sea bass have been caught, but that
the blues and other species have not
commenced to take bait.
"As soon as the blues and other
fish start to bite I will let you have
the news" Jarman said. He added
that it is cool at Ocean City now,
and that he thought some warm
days will start the fish biting.

EORGE P. NORTHRUP has an
II interesting article on end-game
play In a recent issue of the
Newark, N. j.. Evening News. in
which he asserts that chess had ad-
vanced a thousand years during the
last two months He refers to the
recent tournament at Moscow, Russia,
and says the Soviet players have
shown a sort of fourth dimension to
the great masters who knew it all"
They let the other fellows shove out
the QP openings up to such and such
a move and then took charge by a
sort of unorthodox, ante-middle
game start on the real middle game.
Speaking of end-game play. North
rup says you cannot learn it; you
must have it in you; you can sharpen
your ability by playing over games Of
the masters. Ali of which is true Of
all branches of the game.
TN THE Chess Review for April, A.
Sims in an article entitled Chess
in the U. S. S. r." states that in
1924 about two or three thousand club
members we're all that could be
counted throughout the country,
among them about seven players in
the master class and about fifty first
class players. Then feverish move
ment, under the auspices of the
Physical Culture Federation, began.
Today Russia can boast of 500, 900 en-
rolled club members, countless unen-
rolled players, AZ players in the mas
ter class and 900 first-class players,
who have qualified to participate in
national championships. The playing
Of bltndfold games Is prohibited by
law.
Alekhine and Bogoljubow were both
Russians. Sammy Reshevsky came to
this country from Russia, as did also
!. S. Turnover and v. Sournin, leading
players of this city.
TINE statement of Frank J. Mar
shall that he has decided that
the championship of the United
States, which title he has held for rs
years. should be competed for an
nually in tournament play, certainly
is interesting reading to chess play
ers. It IS what they have been con-
tending for. There are a half dozen
or more players who want the oppor-
tunity of playing for the title. Mar
shall says he has turned the matter
over to the board of governors of the
Marshall Chess Club. of which he Is
director, and that the governors
have announced that the first tourna-
ment will be hello in the Fall of 1885
at the Marshall Chess Club in New
York. He says he will play in the
tournament.
The present action of Marshall
agrees with the suggestion of New
England chess editor, made at least
a year ago, that Marshall be given
an opportunity to withdraw his claim
to the title in order that there be q
tournament.

TN ADDITION to the pollution
which the Potomac is carrying,
1t now Is burdened with a bad
L load Of mud. Recent heavy rains
again caused the stream to be-
come an eyesore to the many hun
dreds Of local anglers.
There are a lot of fairly good-sze
perch in our waters, and the rockf1sh,
pan size, were just beginning to be
caught when the muddy water devel-
oped The rock are or were being
caught from Hams Point to Chain
Bridge. It probably will be week
before the river is clear, but Joe
Fletcher informs us that many perch
are being caught in shallow water.
He also said that few herring are
being snagged and expects a run Of
these bony little bellows this week.
Local brook trout anglers did not
fare so we'll last week. One reported
that on recent trip to Virginia
he caught a number of trout, but
returned all because they were un-
dersized. Other anglers fishing in
Maryland streams above Frederick
report they did not get even a strike.
However, there still are plenty of
good-size trout in the streams of our
neighboring States and this sport can
be enjoyed until June 80 in Maryland
and Virginia, and until July 81 in
West Virginia.
TN NEARBY salt water areas cold
weather has delayed fishing.
Hardhead, or croakers, have ap-
peared in large numbers in the bay
and its tributaries, but comparatively
few have been landed by hook and
lire.
Capt. Nate Dave at Solomons
Island is reported to have caught
about Is of these fish recently, and
Capt w. T. Shorter of Benedict,
fishing in the Patuxent River off that
place, landed about eight In shallow
water last Sunday.
Frank Del Vecchio reports he did
not have any success last Sunday
fishing off North Beach. According
to Bruce Emerson, who has a Sum-
mer home at Mason's Beach, on
Herring Bay, hardhead are being
caught in the mouth of the creek
leading into Deale, Md.
Capt. Harry Woodburn at Solo,
mons Island reports that Honga
River, located on the eastern side OF
the bay back of Hoopers Island. Is
the place where hardhead have COM
menced to strike in their usual style.
He said that one angler landed 95
of these fish in this water one day
last week.
Capt. George Bowen, also of SOL
onions Island, well-known caterer to
the wants of anglers, also informs us
that hardhead are being caught in
Honga River, that some small sea trout
are being landed across the bay and
that several blues were taken in the
net of a commercial fishermen OF
Cedar Point.
The run Of sea trout at Wacha-
preague, Va, has started, according to
A. H c. Mears, who says that these
fish started their annual run last
Monday, and that he caught q one
day and SIS the next. ranging from
one and a half to four pounds, al
though one eight-pounder also was
landed.

~ who won the Boston Patriots
day marathon, was flung last
night by Pat Dengis, Welsnman OF
Baltimore, who finished second to
kelley in the world-famous Beantown
gallop April 10.
Dengis' challenge accompanied his
entry application for the fourth
annual Evening Star race for the
National A. A. U. championship, to
be run on June /.
Kelley, it is said, may forego a
crack at the national title to run IN
q marathon at San Diego, Can1'; .
race that could add nothing 10 MS
reputation but one that presents an
onportunity to see a great hunk OF

out there where he will have only a
bunch of plugs to beat. The class

doesn't show, he's ducking the issue. v
Dengis' defeat at Boston he lays

I felt too strong for this to be the
trouble and kept on. The pain hit
me, by the way. just as I turned on
some heat to pass Kelley"
Dengis has moved to the forefront
in marathon running only during the
last year. To win the Port Chester,
N. Y. race of 1884 he ran one OF
the fastest marathons (26 miles 1886
yards on record. His time was
2:31:3o, which was six seconds under
the all-time Olympic record estab-
lished by Juan zabala of Argentina
in winning the world contest at Los

Also last year he ended the reign
of Bill Agee, former national mara
thon and national l5-mile champion,
in Washington distance running
when he won the Playground De-
partment- -Takoma Citizens Independ-
