BOATING CLUB
MEMBER FIGHTS
SHARK ON FLAT
GROUP ENJOYS WONDERFUL
BAY BOTTOM FISHING:
GOOD CRUISING THROUGH
ISLAND CHANNELS

Reporting excellent fishing and
wonderful cruising, a group from
the Key West Boat Club returned
last night afr a 40-mile cruise
through the Keys of the Bay
side, beginning at dawn, in tiny
Skiff and cupboard motors.
Highlight of the trip was chas-
ing sharks and giant stingrays
over the flats on the bay side of
West Harbor Key. One nurse
shark was chased for about half
hour, each time being scared off
by the approaching boat. Finally,
the boat was nosed right on top
of him, and Harold Williams,
owner of the Key West Tropical
Reptile Institute, and noted alli-
gator and shark wrestler, leaped
on him with a knife, while the
boat was expertly shot to one
side to avoid running him down.
Putting one arm completely
around the brown colored shark,
Williams reached for his knife
but with terrific wrench the
shark roared out of his grasp be-
fore the knife could be brought
into play.
Examination revealed the skin
on Williams arm had been
scatched as badly as if sandpa-
per had been run over it from the
friction against the sharks skin.
StingrayS were chaSd but with
no harpoonS the Ratchet used to
spear them was ineffective. The
rays weighed about a 100 pounds
each. Feeding on the flat also
were fish believed to be either
permit or jack. but easily alarm
ed by the approaching boat.
Through the five or six 25-foot
deep channels running between
a quarter and a half-mile long
through the center of the man.
grove and hammock islands, the
group went. Herons, ducks,
marsh birds, great whites burst
from the thickets on all sides in
thes little frequented Keys. Man.
grove roots in weird shapes
trimmed the channels and along
the banks swan hundreds of
mangrove snapper and angelfish.
Stopping off in the bay side of
the Harbor Key Channel, ap-
proximately 80 bottom fish, in
Guiding two three-pound group
er, yellowtail and grunts were
hauled in with bites coming as
fast as the lines hit the bottom.
Jewish Channel, Harbor Key
Channel and many others are
among the larger channels ap-
preaching well in toward the
Keys and providing excellent
protected anchorages were noted
on this side. Homeward bound,
the boats went over the flats to
approach the deeper inside wa
terway with the tide of three
feet at flood allowing passage.

for the Conchs in the last half of
the final frame, walked. Lucilo
struck out. P. Carbonell doubled
to right. Bethel walked. The

Vidal. c. Griffin singled to right
with Puby and Bethel crossing
the plate. The Conchs had won
and the game was over,
c. Griffin was the leader at

run and driving home two.

WOODEN HORSE
 FOR HEAVY POLICE

Woburn, Mass, Feb. 27 - tUP3- Inspired by ancient history, Mayor William E. (Cage 'Em) Kane may get l. wooden horse for his heavy- weight mounted police squad. The three hefty officers initial attempt to dire '' traffic from atop aged dray horses Saturday night resulted In Woburn's worst traffic jam in years,
 "They were SO concerned with staying on the horses backs it took their minds of directing traffic." he complained. Now I've decided to get them c wooden horse, like that horse Of Ancient Troy. I'll let the copes sit on the wooden horse and direct traffie. Thye won't be likely to fall Of and they won't Dc stunb- ling along endangering drivers and pedestrians"
 Kane ordered Sergeant William ?. Dever and Patrolmen James Penney and Henry J. Dion, ali of whom weigh over 200 pounUs, to ride the three aged horses every Friday and Saturday night as the initial step in his campaign to "streamiine" the police force for more efficient duty.
