The presence Of Zeke Bonura
evidently filled the soul Of Jimmy
Wasden with resentment and
hatred. The kid first baseman

Pete Fox'S head in the fourth

Fred Walker.

Annual migrations up the coast
from Floridr include other things be-
side fish. Waterfowl, for instance,
make the trip, and are watched and
counted carefully by the Biological
Survey so they will have some basis
for setting shooting regulations this
fall.
Also making the trip are many of
the charter boats and captains who
ply their winter trade at the semi
tropic ports. Some of them stop off
at Carolina and Virginia ports, few
make Ocean City, Md, their head
quarters. but the majority finish up
around New Jersey and Long Island.
Plenty of boats remain at the
southern ports, however, for the
fishing in Florida Is better in
summer than it is in winter.
Of Miami, for example, sailfsh are
more plentiful and are larger in June
and July than they are in December
and January. Tarpon fishing really
does not get good off Everglades, Boca
Grande and other Gulf ports until
spring and summer. Some tuna do
migrate north from Bimini in the
spring, but the big blue marlin re-
main. 1t was midsummer-July of
1936-that blue larger than Tommy
Shevlin's worlds record of 636 pounds
was taken off Bimini 1t was not
counted as record because the rod
broke.

All the other species increase down
there just as they do here. Among
the summer fish to be caught are bara-

fish and hosts Of other too numerous

uled to make Delaware their fourth
straight opponent on the links, with
Congressionals fairways being the
