Bunting states, you can fish so
fathoms 600 feet) in the water
that is, it will float at so
fathoms.
Captain Bunting is intending
in a day or two to go to the
Gulf Stream with this 15-pound
underwater outrigger, which will
enable him to fish so fathomS
in the water, and with this
lighted lure in the dark, inky
water of the Gulf Stream, the
large ones in the deep will be
able to see how to take the bait.
Captain Bunting states that
light attracts fish and that you
can place a lantern on the
water and fish will come up to
it, and frequently an angler
uses this method at night.
So it looks like this year the
boys will be using underwater
outriggers and trolling bait with
an electric bulb on it, so the
marlin will be able to see how
to take the hook.
Yes, you are most cordially
invited, Mr.. Angler, to attend

Here is a story that has just
come to light: Capt. Talbut
Bunting, on the Cecil B., has
made, or invented, an under
water outrigger and a lighted
lure-a lure with a little bat
terry in it, with a bulb that will
stay lighted for six hours. This
underwater outrigger weighs is
pounds. 1t is a bullet-Shaped
piece of lead, with a slip hook,
which releases the trolling bait,
like the clothes peg on the out

MARITIME, AGGIE
SOFTBALL TILT.
TOPS LOOP PLAY
BY CHICK KENNY

With softball literally sweeping
washington by storm, one Of the
outstanding circuits Of the Dis
It-ict. incidentally, in its first year
LOT organization, is the Metropolis
Itan League, which plays its games
Ieyery Saturday afternoon.
Officers of the loop are Mike
Sklar, president and treasurer;
Art Hartung, vice president. and
Ken Marshall, secretary.
Back in the middle OF April, the
Metro loop started on its way
with 10 strong teams. By the
middle of the month, the first
half in the championship dash
will be completed with the excep-
ton of one important game-a
very important one at that.
HONEYMOON DELAY
This is the battle between the
league-leading Maritime Commits
sion ten and the U. S. AggieS, at
present runnerup in the loop. The
game was originally booked for
Nav %. but was rained out. And
it looks now as though the tilt
will not be played until Harold
Steffes, crack i1urler of Maritime,
returns from his honeymoon.
Metro has many of the veteran
stsndout performers of the soft.
bail game within its ranks. Among
the best known of this group are
Freddie Bunker" Hill, former
Roosevelt High ace, who is pitch
ing superbly for FBI; Willis Ben
ner, former Maryland University
football star who is a member of
the strong Aggie ten; Bob Plais-
ted, star hurler of International
business Machines; Charley
Pierce, leading chucker with Arts
Diner, and the veteran Temple
farrell, a standout for the Carr
and Boswell outfit.
OTHER STARS
Other players who are going
great guns in loop competition
this season include Jay Boetler, Of
I. B. NJ; Wilbur Cross, former
Central High luminary, a crack
performer with Senate, and a lad
named Payne who plays with
Joplin.
At present, the Aggies and
FBI are running neck in neck
for the runnerup position to
Maritime with five wins in six
starts. Should Maritime lose to
the Ags, and there is no saying
it won't, a wide scramble for first
place honors will throw the loop
into bedlam, as q three-way
tie will exist.
SWAY FIGHT
Although it looks as though a
three-way fight exists in the loop,
the chances for a wide open
fight looms when the second half
of the play gets underway the
last Saturday in June. Arts
Diner, with four victories in six
starts, now rests in fourth place,
and Carr and Boswell, with a
record of four triumphs against
three setbacks must not be counted
out of the picture.
Second half play will conclude
the second week in August. pro-
viding the games can dodge rain.
Following this competition, the
winner of the first half will clash
with the champion Of the second
section of play in a playoff series
two out of three games-for the
loop crown.
