~ IGHT now Tall TimberS Is
Just about the best spot for
N fishing on the Potomac River.
4 y Every day larger and larger
catches are being reported, the best
to date being a 175-pound haul made
by two Washington anglers, L. T.
Folk and Ben B. Culp, who were
down there Sunday. The catch was
made up of IS rockfish, the largest of
which weighed about pounds, and
2 small hardhead. They were caught
trolling from Capt. Roland McKay's
boat, using bloodworm drones and
spinners, the drones being by far the
more effective. They had such excep-
tional luck, according to Folk, that
they didn't stay out all day as they
had planned, but returned after only
half a days fishing, when they tired
Of bringing them in.
The exact place where the catch
was made is little above Tall Tim
bers, near the mouth of Herring
Creek at a spot known to the natives
as the Jumps" The water there is
between IS and 40 feet deep over a
rocky bottom. Another large catch
made near there totaled 43 rock. 5
hardhead and trout. If trout are
being taken in the Potomac, surely
they should be biting out in the Bay
very soon.
HERE are some pertinent tips about
= = fishing around Tall Timbers which
have been passed on by Folk. The
best way to catch the rock there is
by trolling, as shown by the fact that
few are being taken by the still fish
ermen. Three persons. or four at
most, are all that can troll comfort
ably from one boat The only place
where this fish can be caught in any
numbers Is over rocky bottom. where
1t has It's spawning nest. The grounds
are very ''spotty" when it comes to
catching rockhsh, so select boatman

bottoms. Some shippers have their

1886 Rookie Crop Classy.
THE 1886 nag chases for major
league supremacy may well 60
down as season productive of a
crop of f1rst-year sensations unprece-
dented in modern times.
In the American League the Yam
KEGS Joe Di Maggie and the Ma
tionals Buddy Lewis are running
neck and neck for top honors. Their
exploits to date scarcely can bear
much repetition. The White Sox, in
the fat-legged but speedy Mike Kree-
witch, seem to have q newcomer who
not only can patrol the outfield with
the best, but who promises to crash
the 800 batting circle.
The Athletics, currently in
town, have Russ Peters and q
youngster named Lovill Dean.
OF the latter, especially, may be
heard plenty before the next
couple Of seasons roll around.
Connie Mack picked up the 1s-
year-old Dean from Duke University.
Dean was q sophomore at the time,
but his ball-playing ambitions over
came his lust for books and 1t looks
as though he is destined not to re-
gret his choice.
The veteran sports author, Jimmy
Isaminger, who sticks with the AS
in their travels, is well qualified to
pass judgment on Dean. Only as q
pinch-hitter has he been used so far,
except for four innings at first base,
but the kid has established himself
in the toughest job in base ball. He
rates as one of the best pinch-hitters
in the league on his showing to date.
Some day." predicts Isaminger, "he'll
work into a regular job and be good
ball player"
The queer note in the youth
movement into the majors,
though, is the lack Of up-and-
coming pitchers. Di Maggie,

As long as she holds on she may
pop her head in and out among
the teeth at will, and the lion can't
do a thing about it.
On the other hand, she says, a
butter-fingered trainer may not
live long, because should hand slip

Many Advantages
Attend Cities With
Public Light Setup

Those who may be inclined TO
to city which has publicly owned
and operated power and light sys-
tenn should study the record made
by the city of Charlottesville, Ind,
which has set real record in the
field of municipal ownership for
other cities to follow, according to
a recent bulletin.
This plant has grown from a
small beginning to be one of the
outstanding in the country and is
now valued at over million dollars.
A 1884 report showed that the city
had $334,525 in the treasury, credit
ed to all departments of the city
edness except what was already COW
cred with money in the bank Dur
ing 1885 the plant with a low rate of
cents per kilowatt hour, netted
the city $4,000.
Since 1880, according to this bull
letin. Charlottesville spent 100000
on street improvements; $4,000 on
a chest fund for laboring men out
of work and $4,000 for a new fire
engine. In addition to this, $55, 900
was used to build new municipal
building which, when furnished,
cost $130,000. The city streets are
lighted free of cost to taxpayers and
lights are furnished to the hospital
and schools at a two cent rate. In
addition the city carries a large de-
preston fund and insurance. All
this has resulted from the public
ownership of the city's light and
power system.
Residents of this Indiana city are
most enthusiastic over the munich
pal ownership of their power and
light system because it keeps their
own money at home to be used for
municipal improvements instead of
giving it to the stockholders of some
privately owned corporation.
