RoCkfish Found
NumerousAt
B|oodyPoint
according to Izaak Waltom

according to IzddE WGlton)
Several weeks ago this column
came forth with the statement,
that rockfish should stay in the
Bloody Point area during the
spring and summer months.
That prophesy has come true
in part because summer is here
and the rock are too. Not just
few stragglers, but in numbers
that is surprising to even the old
baymen.
Neither are they the small pan
rock, that supply the acme of
sport to followers of the Potomac
and Susquehanna, but the longer
than-your-arm" kind, that are gen.
orally found in the lower Potomac
and Bay sections, from August
until December.
The lump, known as the Hill
Top, midway between Bloody
Point Lighthouse and Poplar
Island, on the Eastern Shore oppo-
site West River, has been for the
past two weeks the feeding grounds
for large schools of these big fell
lows. Several times a day they
rise to the top and seemingly 60
berserk to strike anything moving
in the water. For those boats that
have been there at the right times
and offered what they had in the
WaV of lures or feathers the
smashing attacks and tackle-bust-
ing antics of these gameSters have
been a revelation.
Whether this is just a flash in
the pan, a coincidence. or the natu-
raj drop-back' from spawning
grounds to seashore, we don't
know.
The hope is that it is a natural
feeding ground and that they will
stay. Certainly no better grounds
can be found anywhere. The

T0Hit Team
Roster
BY GARRETT WATERS


The old, old story of building
up" can be used again at RooSe-
welt High School when Coach Her
man Littman begins baseball prac-
tice sessions next spring.
For the mentor will be forced
to start the campaign with no
less than nine of his best players
missing.
Graduation will take 'em all
away from the diamond. The list
includes the Coakley boys, George
and Francis, catcher and center
field, respectively; Larry Hama.
gan, shortstop; Stuart Gessford,
second sacker and pitcher; James
Weber, centerfielder; Ken Blum
don, pitcher and outfielder; How
ard Bowers, pitcher; Sid AnSell,
southpaw hurler, and Harry Sill
verman, general all-around man.
The Coakley pair, flanagan,
Bowers, Gessford and Silverman,
will be missed the most. This group
developed into the most promiS-
ing baseball talent the school has
had in several seasons.
One of the Coakley's was picked
on the Times All-High Team. He
was Francis Coakley. who was one
of the best outfielders in the re-
cent inter-high series.
George Coakley's regular posi-
ton was second base. But shortly
after the start of the series the
Riders were in need of a catcher.
George took over the job and
handled himself unusually we'll. He
was outShaded for all-high honors
only because of Jimmy Wise, of
Tech, who developed into the best
hitting catcher in the series.
flanagan played a nice game
at shortstop and hit well, Cess
ford turned in an exceptional ef-
fort when tried on the mound,
Silverman handled himself well
at almost every position-and he
played almost every post-while
Bowers, after bad start, held his
own on the mound. His top game
was against Central when he was
defeated, 2 to 0, in pitching duel
with Arnold Heft, Mt. Pleasant
lefthander.
A small list of holdovers will
form Coach Littman's nucleus in
1897. Gerald Tassa, All-High out
fielder, heads the group. Others
include Art Miller, catcher; Frank
Bailey, first baseman; Sherrod
Robertson, second baseman;
Harry Treganowan, outfielder,
and Billy Bauer and Sam MalloS,
pitchers, the former a southpaw.
This nucleus boasts promise.
But Coach Littman will feel more
encouraged about Everything"
after he's seen the big collection of
new men expected to turn out
and after he's sent 'em through
the first few games of the season.
