If we have no rain within the next
day or so these two streams will be
clear, especially in the upper portions
where the larger bass are found.
Already most Of the smaller
waters are clear and the large
mouths are being caught, but
anglers are more interested in
the small-mouths.
Gunston Cove, near Lorton, Va,
and the streams at Fort Washington
have produced several nice catches
OF large-mouths this past week, the
best probably that of Arthur Dodson
in Gunston Cove. Dodson caught
his limit, fishing early in the morning
and again in the late afternoon.
In the morning he used underwater
plugs, but in the afternoon tried
pop fishing with the creek chub
pepper and wounded minnow, and
caught six. The largest weighed
only q fraction less that pounds.

IL Wilmer III, defending cham
pion, the finest field of 225-
4 4 cubic-inch hydroplane speed
sters ever to compete in the Presidents
Cup Regatta will zoom across the
starting line here on September 26
and 27, it was announced yesterday by
L. Gordon Leech, chairman Of the
Race Committee.
Jay Dee II, owned by Jack Dunn Of
Miami, Fla; Snail II, owned by
George O'Conner of Rockledge, Fla.
and Miss Mateo, owned by R. B. Greet
and piloted by Arno APPEL, veteran At
lantic City driver, already have been
entered for the races and at least six
additional starters are expected
Although rules regarding competi-
ton for the John Charles Thomas
trophy specify that all 225-cubic- Inch
craft must have competed in six races
prior to the Presidents Cup, Leech will
run two Smile qualifying heats
which every 225 cubic inch boat may
enter and earn the right to vie for
titular honors in the three 1O-mile
heats.
Boats Provide Thrills.
r RADICALLY designed, many re-
sembling runaway pipe organs
these boats stole the show last year as
two of them capsized while circling
buoys. In recent races at Red Bank
N. j., three were demolished as they
crashed.
A feud between DR.. Bagley and Ape
Is expected to add interest to the race
DR.. Bagley, foremost amateur pilot
threw a scare into APPEL at the Havre
de Grace Regatta when, by daring
driving he manipulated his Wilmer
III into half-length lead at the first
turn and maintained it throughout the
race to win. APPEL set new record oi
57.877 miles per hour at Red Bank
and now is determined to trim his out
standing rival
Although Ira Hand, secretary of the
National Association of Engine anc
Boat Manufacturers, has suggested a
limitation Of starting fields as a safety
measure in future 225 events 1t i.
doubtful if his plan to limit starting
fields to six boats will affect the loca,
water pageant.
Taking cognizance of recent smash.
ups in the 225 class, Hand feels tha,
elimination heats should be arranged
to stifie growing dangerous elements.

r ISTORY, ancient and modern,
IL Is replete with incidents de-
/ picting the failure Of man in
L L business affairs because Of
frequent indulgence in intoxicating
beverages, the use Of narcotics and
surrender TO the mystic charm Of
woman.
From the chess divan OF a certain
New York club comes the story of the
failure Of prominent business man
because he became intoxicated" from
constant play at the game Of chess
To-day this man is known widely in
Eastern chess circles. Once he was 10
be numbered among the nouveau richie.
Once he walked into the best hotels,
there lived and dined, chummed with
the great and was acclaimed az q
successful hnancier. His friends were
Of the mythical -Four Hundred"
First, 1t was an idle curiosity that
prompted him to pause and watch a
chess game: next, 1t was the desire 70
know more Of this game that led him
to the ranks Of the tyro: and then,
the witchery, the fascination, the spell
Of chess mag;cally shrouded his mind
and governed every thought. Busi-
ness was forgotten. The siren voice
Of the stock ticker went unheeded.
He played on . moving his pawns,
and strategically maneuvering pieces
Of wood and bone, that to him were
pervaded with the animation and
spirit OF life itself.

Ruined His Business.

SOLOMON has said that there is a
time to laugh and a time to cry,
a time to labor and time to play.
The financier played always He
played away his business, he became
a master chess player but never a
champion. His spirit was broken, he
became "chess derelict." Today he
haunts the chess divan. He dreams
ever of the perfect game as a clever
criminal dreams Of the perfect crime.
Neither exists within the finite scope
Of the mind Of man; the possibilities
Of chance are infinite. The philos-
ophy Of chess has been indefnable;
the forces that are encountered. the
human element-they are too COM
plex for categorical portrayal
Great thinkers have turned to chess
for relaxation. Geniuses have pom
dered on the enigma Of chess. WASH
ington, Franklin, Tolstoy, Voltaire,
Bacon, Tennyson. King Alfred, Canute,
Charlemagne; Napoleon. wellington,
Bismarck. Kipling-all reveled in the
glory and subtleties of chess, but were
temperate in their desires. Paul
Morphy, American, when a mere New
Orleans youth, defeated the foremost
national champions in the world. In
the role of chess masters he is pre-
eminent. But it is said he died a
suicide 1. business failure.
The New York chess enthusi-
asst played too long. He played
at the wrong time. He played
all the time. His life is one
of play. Solomon's wise precept
has not been needed
There is time to labor and
a time to play"
Will some fanatical abolitionist now
storm the citadels of Congress and
promote drastic legislation to curb
the growing menace of chess intoxi-
cation in this prosperous era of eco
nomic depression, or will State regu-
lation be advocated?
