might have had as a prognosticator
when I picked the New York Giants
to win the world series. land I still

list my predictions on the results
of the amateur fights at the El
Centre athletic club Friday night
Willard Big Boy" nogue will
avenge the defeat handed him by
Joe Garcia several weeks ago by
blasting the San Diego champion
TO defeat in the main event.
Hogue will come out of his COR
ner fast at the opening bell pound
Garcia across the ring with sting
ing rights and lefts to take an ad-
vantage he will not relinquish.
Big Boy, who has brushed up on
his defensive fighting during the
week, will ward off the ajority
of Garcia's Furnishing blows and
sink in enough punches TO take
three of the four rounds and Referee
Bill Tackett's decision.
Joe Villegas viii have lot of
trouble in finding the range against
frankie Monroe in the first two
rounds but will kayo the San Di-
egan in the fourth stanza of their
fight.
Sylvester Lucio will score an i'm

will be packed with wild punch
ing and many knockdowns.
Swiss Burgi will knock out Ben
ME Brixman. Dale Cooper will win
a decision over Ivan Lewis and
Johnnie Neves will earn the nod
over the clowning National City
fighter. Sebastian.
Shorty Hogue will prove too tough
for Billy Cardenas and will deposit
the San Diego battler on the floor
early in the third round series of
left jabs and a crashing right
cross.

the New York club invariably
knocked off the nearest purSuer.
Randall Gumpert will pitch for
the Athletics this afternoon and
Buck NewSom probably will work
for the GriffS.
What a pity that a pitcher Of
Kelley's ability had to drudge in
the minors so long. The Giants
had him once and so did the
GriffS, but he spent most of his
best years in the minor leagues.
Bob Johnson had a large day
for himself. All he did was bang
two triples and a single, every hit
as clean as could be. His wallop
in the first frame was legiti-
mate double, but hardly three
Dagger.
The Washington times., 1936-08-06

The quaint antics OF the Gr1tfS
first annoyed and then amused
the eitizenry.
Two of the four runs in the
first inning should have been
checked. 1t seems to this OBJ
server that Lewis should have put
the ball on johnson as the latter
slid into third. Two errors by
the GaStonia goSSoon followed
and four tallieS were posted.
There is no cause to condemn
a player when he boots one, and
there's small need to condemn
Lewis. The boy is playing major
league ball at 19 years OF age.
/ Let's raise a cheer for the old
college try and the boys who make
them. In the third inning Harry
Kelley raised foul while trying to
bunt. There was no chance to
make a play, it seemed, but Sabo
tried. He made the play that 80
per cent of catcherS would not
have attempted.
Travis failed to field a gHounder
by Niemiec. If Travis had come
up with the ball he would have
tossed out the runner by more
ground than Jesse Owens can
cover in three running leaps.
Harry Kelley started a fast
double play in the fourth inning
He whirled and threw Bluege'S
grounder to second in time to
force Lewis. and the rest of the
play was easy.
Bob johnson turned in a gilt
tering play when he Sprinted into
left center and robbed Bluege of
triple. This johnson comes
pretty close to being a right
smart left fielder.
Chapman got none the best Of

the fifth inning. He apparently

Higgins in the sixth inning.
clutched the ball and shot per
feet throw.
Cecil Travis got over right fast
and stopped a slash by Hayes.
This was a nifty bit of defense.
Kelly got himself into trouble
in the sixth inning when he failed
to hold Deans peg on an easy
grounder by Travis. Lewis and
Bluege followed through with sin
giles, and what with a triple by
Kuhel, a couple of runs scored.
Kelley ended his troubles by slip
ping half speed curve over the
plate on Sabo. thus ending the
sixth inning.

According to
IZAAK WALTON

The search for the big four
of sport fish, started two years
ago by the Towsends in the vicin-
ity of Ocean City, Md, has really
brought results this year; not
only at that point, but also along
the coast of southern Jersey.
Almost as if by magic, this
year has seen the springing up
of many small fleets of boats,
capable of making the off-shore
run of forty to seventy miles,
required to reach the cruising
grounds of the most spectacular
of the Big Four-the billed gladi-
atorS of the Gulf Stream-the
blue marlin.
The count for Ocean City, Md.
this year is already in the neigh
borhood of seventy and is in
creased with every favorable day.
1t should easily go far above the
hundred mark.
Spurs Renewed Activity
The first striped marlin ever to
be caught in south Jersey was
brought into Ocean City, N. j.,
last week and was just the spark
needed to start the off-Shore boats
to a renewed activity that should
see many more brought in before
the season is through.
The Atlantic City Tuna Club,
headed by Capt. B. L. Raymond,
dean of the guides who specialize
in tuna fishing off the famous
Barnegat Ridge, starts it's first
season with six seaworthy boats,
equipped for any kind of fishing
or weather. The cost for these
boats is $35 to $50 per day, this
price level being maintained from
Ocean City, Md, up the Jersey
coast and through Long Island.
Rather high is the first comment
but the fee is reasonable when
all factors are considered.
Party Splits Costs
AS a rule there is q mate
aboard, adding to the Skipper'S
overhead. The trip begins at l
or 2 a. m. and is short if it ends
before p. m. The gas consumed
runs we'll up to Is or more dol
darS, which when added to in
tereSt on the initial investment,
leaves Scant profit.
The answer for the angler
eager to try this type of fishing
easily the most glamorous of all,
is very simple. Make up your
own party of four or six and
the divided cost is small. Names
Of boats and guides at the va
rious places are available and
will be sent to you upon receipt
OF a stamped addressed envelope.

lOcdI.
The most popular bait is earth worms,
or night crawlers. These worms are
secured by digging up the ground, by
wetting the lawn and catching them at
night or by extending an iron rod into
the ground, charging it with electricity.
Worms may be raised i'll a flower box,
by pouring milk over the soil for food.
Live minnows are preferable for many
game fish, particularly pike, bass, mus
kies. Crawfish are often used for trot-
line bats for bass, catfish and drum The
helgramite is one of the best bass bats.
For still fishing the peeled tail of a
crawfish is unsurpassed, but is difficult
to fasten on a hook. Liver and other
stale meats are often used to lure cat
fish. Doughballs are the accepted carp
bait. And don't let anybody tell you a
carp can't put up fight.
White ash grubs, crickets and grass
hoppers are excellent bait for trout and
such pan fish as croppies, rock bass,
Dream and perch. The green meadow
frog is one sure-shot bait for large bass,
pike and muskies.
Still fishing is not so sporty as casting
or fly fishing, but it's lot of fun for a
million or two men and boys who meas
ure their sport in fish poundage.
