WITH TITLE CHANCE

First-Half Season Crown
in Recreation Loop.

A CHANCE to clinch the first-half
title of the Recreation Soccer
League Is offered to the defending
champion Sun Radio eleven today as
it tackles a surprisingly strong Marl-
boro eleven on the Monument Field at
o'clock.
Undefeated thus far. the Radio
eleven will be up against a team that
has come fast since losing its OPEN
ing game Of the season and one which
could snatch first place away from
the current leaders should 1t win
today.
Sun Radio, however. Gaping its
early-season successes with triumph
over Heurich Brewers last week, Is
confident OF stopping the club which
lost its only game to Heurichs.
In a game almost as attractive as
that involving the contenders, Heur-
ich's Brewers meets the German Sport
Club at Benning. With each team are
members of last years Heurich's
eleven. and each combination think,
it has the best performers from the
1888 aggregation. The kickoff Is at
2:30 O'Clock.

D EMEMBER that old story of how
small-mouths became stocked in
the Potomac River? 1t seems that q
railroad man brought them down in
the water tank Of his train and
dumped them there, and since then
they have become rather common.
Well, it may be that another railroad
man has been at work, or perhaps the
Spring flood had something to do
with it. Whatever the cause, the Po-
tomac has yielded a catch of a species
which is not even supposed to be
found there. We refer to the wall
eye pike
Several weeks ago we mentioned
that Don Carpenter caught one. and
at that time stated that in all prob
ability it wouldn't happen again for
years. but w. Joseph Bodine. Bethesda
police officer, crossed us up on our
prediction and brought in four, and
beauties. too.
The largest weighed ~
pounds when we saw 1t, and
must have been over S pounds
when caught. 1t was ~ inches
long and had . girth of Is
inches.
That, boys and girls, is wall
eye caught in the Potomac River.
Bodine hooked, it, and three others,
in that hole about half a mile below
Great Falls on the Maryland side,
using fly rod and live bait. Imagine
q 5-pounder on fly rod!
The Elk River in West Virginia has
been supplying several good muskel-
lunge catches recently in spite Of, or
maybe because Of. the cold. The
largest so far weighed 81 pounds and
was 48 inches long.

BRIEF review of our week-o

A BRIEF review of our week-old
~ hunting season brings to
~ light no report of an over
\ supply of game. The con-
trary almost is true. Some parties
returning from the field bring the
news that birds and rabbits in some
sections are scarcer than they have
been in years, while on the whole
conditions are only fair.
One thing which has contributed
to the poor takes Is the weather. It's
been cold enough, to be sure, but at
the same time q stiff wind has been
blowing over Maryland and Virginia
much of the time, and dogs have been
hard put to pick up the scent Of
small, fast moving rabbits or we'll
hidden coveys. A group Of local nim-
rods secured over section of the
Blue Ridge Mountains about Is miles
the other side of Warrenton with less
than Indifferent luck. They sighted
few quail and only about 10 rabbits,
and many Of these they failed to bag
because their dogs were tardy in
nuShlng.
Another factor contributing
to the scarcity Of game is the
many half wild dogs roaming
about. They manage to keep
birds and rabbits well scattered
and always on the move.
The really good hunting is on pri-
vately owned game preserves where
birds are given adequate protection
from hunters and dogs alike.
pRE-SEASON predictions for the
sector around Daneville, Va,
were very good, based largely on the
dry Summer, usually good sign.
These predictions have not been borne
out, however. Hunters say that the
hard Winter cut into the bird stock,
and some even claim that quail vir-
tually are wiped out.
Coveys are few and far be.
tween and small and scattered.
Rabbits, on the other hand, are
