All Must Register

A number Of inquiries have
come in requesting registration
information. Three registration
booths will be set up in Rock
Hall. where boat captains can
secure memberships and anglers
can register for the Grand Con-
test. To cover the cost of mate
rails for the Grand Contest, the
registration fee will be SOC for
adults, Csc for children. Every
participant must register before
entering the contest.
The second International Tuna
Angling Cup Matches will find
our own local Paul Townsend
striving to help bring the Alton
Sharp Trophy back to this coun-
try from England. It has been
hinted that Paul may be elected
captain of this years team, and
this column is certainly pulling
for him to receive the honor.
For those of US who are not
acquainted with big-fish compe-
tition, it is most interesting to
note the dos and don'ts that
govern such big affairs:
Tackle Specifications:
LINE: No. SO thread; no re-
striction on the yardage. RODS:
Any wood, tips to weigh %
ounces, and these may not be
shorter than five feet. Rods with
steel core are barred. Butts may
be as long or as short as desired
and may be made from any
wood. REELS: Any type or size.
DOUBLE LINE: Line may be
doubled to the extent of Is feet
from the swivel. Tapered lines
not allowed. LEADERS: Lead
ers of standard tuna wire will
be permitted, but these may not
exceed IS feet in length.
Rules of the Tournament:
Anglers to draw for opponents,
boats and guides the night pre-
ceding each days competition.
HOU Points Are Scored
Scoring System:
One point for the largest fish
taken. One point for the larg-
est number of fish taken.
Although it was originally de-
cided that the British, Cuban
and United States angling teams
would fish from dories during
the forthcoming matches, these
plans have since been changed.
The board Of governors, after
having conferred with Canadian
members of the board and Off
GERS of the Liverpool Tuna
Guides Association, unanimously
voted that the conteSting teams
fish from powerboats and not
dories. This change was made
as a safety measure and in order
to minimize the dangers Of an
glerS getting lost. Due to the
great size Of the harbor en-
trance and dense fogs that de
scend very swiftly, several near
fatalities have occurred in tht
past.
The following SportSmen hav'
been picked to represent th'
United States: Hugo Ruther
ford, Allamuchy, N. j.; Pau
Townsend, Washington, D. C..
George Thomas, III, Of Cali
fornia; w. Goadby Lawrence
Fairhaven. N. j.; Ben Crownin
shield, Boston, Mass; s. XII
Harrington. Easthampton, L. I
and Walter McDonough, EaS
Orange, N. j. With the excer
ton Of Thomas and McDor
ough, all the anglers picke'
fished against the British En-
pire tuna team in the first intel
national matches, held in Nov
Scotia last fall, when the BritlSl
team conquered the American
in the stormy tide rip off Wedgl
port, N. S., by score Of 8 to
Because teams in the internt
tional matches are limited thi
year to six men, Walter M
Donough was picked as a spar
in recognition Of his fine fishin
record.

The Third Annual Fishing
Fair Grand Contest is labeled
the worlds largest angling con-
test and will draw hundreds Of
anglers from the District, Mary
land, Virginia and Pennsylvania.
The officers have made ar
rangements with WFBR radio
station, in Baltimore, which will
send seven broadcaStS direct from
the fishing grounds. One Of the
broadcaStS will come from the
bottom of the bay through the
use of a special diving bell, in
which Stewart Kennard will de-
scribe the capers a fish cuts as
he looks the bait over and
finally swallows the hook. An
other broadcast will come from
the plane Of Captain Mason, ace
Maryland flier.

has requested a try-out. Several

the first week or so after the club
was formed and have not received
their card. These will be notified
Immediately as in sending out the

perishable things like very
ripe fruit, they are difficult to
keep" Good intentions become
NEARLY "day dreams" if not put
into action and the best gun in
the world will not make a hunter
out of a man if he can't shoot
straight.
Next week our additions will
take place on board the Wilson

Potomac to Marshall Hall for a
