During spawning season the mature
shad takes no food at all, but the
fact that they sometimes rise to a
skillfully placed fly shows that this
abstinence is due more to a desire
to hasten the spawn than to any
lack of desire for food. They are a
rather prolific fish. yielding sometimes
as much as 10000 eggs season.

MERICA boasts three great
n grandmasters at chess. Paul
~ Charles Morphy. born in New
4 \ Orleans, June %, 1887. and
there died July 10. 1884, could give at
the age of 81 the odds of pawn and
move to any player in the world and
was the first American to awaken
Europeans from the myth that only
Europe and the Old World could pro-
duce great champions at chess. the
game of monarchs, emperors, and
royal blood.
When Morphy died, there was none
worthy of his mantle. But in the year
of his passing there lived youth of
eleven Summers, destined to carry
on the torch of Caissa and be honored
by potentates and scholars in the
four corners of the earth.
This youth was Harry Nelson Pills
bury. born December S, 1872, at Som
erville, Mass. and who died June IT,
1906, at Frankford, Pa. chess CHAM
pion of the United States from April,
1897, till his death, renowned through
out the world as one of the mental
marvels of the age, for he could play
simultaneously II games of chess,
boards of checkers, and take hand
at the same time in a game of dupli-
cate whist; the chess and checkers be-
ing played without sight Of boards
or men, truly prodigious display of
mental powers.
Again an interlude in American
chess when there was no outstanding
player Then. in 1909. at Lexington
KY. Frank James Marshall won the
kingly spurs by defeating the famous
VICTOR over Max Judd, S. Lipschutz
E. Kemeny and J. F. Barry, the chess
galaxy of the nineties.
Marshall is the third of the great
triumvirate in United States chess
annals Born in New York City in
1877, he retained the American crown
from 1909 till 1886, when he announc-
ed his voluntary retirement from the
professional chess arena after wear
ing the championship toga for 81
years without a blemish. beloved by
friend and foe as a worthy follower
of his immortal fellow countrymen,
Morphy and Pillsbury.
Looming on the horizon is the newly
crowned king of American chess, Sam
uel Reshevsky, now in his early twen-
ties-a youth who has behind him a
glorious heritage of international con-
quests. Before him lies the winding
road to the world championship.
Using the measuring rod of Morphy,
PilIsbury, and Marshall, it is not pro-
phetic to predict for ReshevSky a
brilliant, meteoric career as Americas
latest contribution to her select GAL
lery of chess grandmasters. Will
Sammy meet the test? Will he bring
again the world chess crown to the
fatherland of Paul Charles Morphy-
the greatest champion of chess cham
pions? Nous voyons que nous voyons.

GOOD deal of sport may be
n had right here in the Potomac
~ angling for pan fish with a
\ light rod and artificial bait.
While most local anglers use the
heavier rods or hand lines with
worms, shrimp or peelers for bait,
perch, rock, bass and even catfish will
take artificial lures II care is made
in the selection to use under varying
conditions.
A light, well-balanced fly rod
weighing around four ounces and
about eight feet long is best for this
sport. Use a single-action reel, as
any other would of necessity be
heavier and unbalance the light rod.
Dry flys or floating bugs get good
results-and sometimes a vari-colored
little wooden plug also is used, espe-
cially when casting from a boat along
shore where there are sunken log
drifts or weed beds in which perch
and bass might be lurking Recon-
mended flys are the White Miller,
Silver Doctor, Black Gnat, Montreal,
Orange Fly, Olive Dun and Col. Fuller.
Perch like their flys to be worked
bit deeper than do rock and have
been known to take a fly with spinner
or fly alone that is cast and
drawn in slowly and a shade deeper
than usual.

A MODERNlZED water 1rOnU,
~ befitting Washington's grow
~ ing nautical population and
n contemplative Of ample piers,
yacht basins, turning basins and a
deeper channel, is the vision of John
A. Remon, senior vice president OF the
American Power Boat Association,
whose activities are preparing the day
when the Capital will be an ideal
marine center.
Such a transformation won't take
place this year, or next, and perhaps
not within five, but when the day ar
rives that appropriations already ap-
proved for such plans are allotted the
end OF WaShington'S present made
quate facilities for water sports and
navigation in general will be in sight.
Talking with Remon, born and
raised on the New England Seacoast,
one catches a glimpse of the ideal
which one of the greatest supporters
Capital yachtdom ever has known, pic
tures for the city which he has made
his home.
Four yacht basins, each capable Of
accommodating $50 pleasure craft;
two turning basins permitting even the
largest to turn about in the currently
cramped channel; three piers for the
present commercial lines navigating
on the river. and two piers for the
District in general are pictured by
Remon as turning the prevailing un-
slightly water front from Eighth and
Water streets down to the War Col
lege into as picturesque a one as will
be found in the country.

Shad used to be surprisingly abun-
dent, but in recent years became de-
pleted because of being taken during
the spawning season, the only time
they are within reach of the angler.
That shad successfully may be propa-
gated is shown by its establishment
on the Pacific Coast, where it never
before had existed. But even with
artificial propagation the catch has
diminished at an alarming rate
Overfishing, the placing OF dams
across some rivers and water pollu-
tion is responsible for this decrease.

family. does not appear TO migrate
from warmer to cooler waters as it
formerly was supposed to do, but
