FISHING AND HUNTING

the ice ("believe it, or not'O or sit
by the fire and tie flys. In addi-
ton to the above many are at

In Southern waters the fish are
striking hard as for example the

We again call attention to the
feeding of birds in washington

The record cold spell with at

imperative that all of US give q

Sounds like Scotty, they
thought. They turned around
and were overjoyed to find that
it really was Walter Scott Lieut.
becher, one of Baltimore and
Washington's most familiar bowl
ing figures for two generations,
and once holder Of an unofficial
world ten-pin record for half an
hour!
"Scotty," greyer, thinner, wear
ier, with that characteristic con-
slant cough Of his more pro-
nounced than ever, was again in
the atmosphere that he loved,
looking at glistening maple-wayS,
listening to mineralite balls send
ing the pins Gathering.
It was sweet music for his ears
and made him temporarily forget
the infirmitieS Of his 70 winters
and summers, the last few spent
in great pain from angina pee
toriS.
Talks to Old Friends
As he watched friends bowl and
remineSced over old times with
Bob Lowry, Whitley" EStabrook
and Bill Patterson, he must have
suspected that this would be his
last time in a bowling alley where
he had spent the flower Of his
youth and achieved what little
fame he enjoyed. He stayed all
day.
It was less than a month later
that "Scotty" yielded to the call
Of the Master, satisfied that he
had been a conscientious laborer
in the vineyards of the Lord; that
he had lived honorably according
to any mans light.
His employers always found
him punctual. an efficient. silent
worker. Until he moved from
Baltimore, where he was born on
February 8, 1885, he was a book
keeper for q widely known Balti-
more soft drink firm for IS years.
From his native town he went to
Hopewell, Va. to manage q billiard
establishment, and in the spring
of 1920 he shifted to Washington
as floor man at the Grand Central
alleys, becoming manager when
his good friend and fellow-Balti-
morean, Johnny Vaeth, heard the
Dark Angels summon in 1920.
Shifts to Recreation
When the Grand Central was
diSrnantled "Scotty" became q
floor manager at the Recreation,
which position he held until the
infirmitieS of old age forced him
to retire around 1892.
It was on February 3, 1908, that
"Scotty's" name blazed in sport
headlines, for on that night he
hooked together games Of 220, 266
and 800 on the Diamond alleys in
Baltimore. for 786, an unofficial
world mark which was bettered by
another bowler, name forgotten,
the same night. He rolled IT con-
Secutive strikes in that set.

the famous Metropolitan team
which represented Baltimore in
the Eastern Inter-City Tenpin
League and averaged 207 for a
season.

Well, who are some Of these

good already?
Starting with Eastern (now,

Dean Usual Self
Dean has been his usual color

Hollidge has led in scoring and
Scheible has been q tower Of

defenSively and extensively.
Then there's Buddy Shaner and
Bucky Buchholz. Of the same
team. Surely they cannot be over

the ParkerS no little to become
the champions they are.
William Hop" Lomax, Gerald
Burns and Harry Wells have
played splendidly for Western.
The work Of the entire Western
team has been gratifying on the
whole. with these three more or
less leading the way.
Billy Vermillion, Donald FoneS
and Big VIII Thompson have been
Central's big timers, Vermillion in
particular. Fones and Thompson
have been held at bay during the
greater part Of the series, but both
are good basketball players. Yer
millions play has been the most
outstanding item in Central'S ap-
