Nor is the engine situation very
good, Gen. Brooks said. The train
ing uses two types Of planes, the
BT-9, which is equipped with 400
horsepower engine, and the BT-14,
which has SO more horsepower and
is swifter.
There Is an ample supply Of the
former on hand at this time, but
more engines are needed for replace
ments and for instruction purposes.
AS for the other training plane the
school is woefully lacking In spare
engine parts.
Although the San antonio weather
is excellent for year-round flying,
the season of bad weather has ar
rived. Gen. Brooks said there are
not enough planes at the school to
make up for lost flying time.

As Fishing in General During
1910 Proves Disappointing

off Ocean City, where the fish came
in late, and in small numbers, you
hardly could blame the poor show
ing this year on overflshing last
year. Rather the main reason
probably was lack of feed, or what
fishermen call bait fish-the small
sardines, menhaden or Squid on
which the marlin feed. Capt. John
CaSS fished out of Chincoteague,
Va. for more than month, and
caught only few marlin. The
great schools of sailfish off Miami,
Palm Beach and Stuart, the bright
spots of Florida's East Coast, were
few. True, sailfish were caught,
but not In the numbers of other
years, notably the early days Of
1899, when boats out of Stuart and
Palm Beach had countless strikes,
and reported great schools OF the
spear-beaked warriors.
The blueflshing in Chesapeake
Bay seems to be finished. At least
that is what experience Of the last
four years points out. But rock

The winter of 1939-40 was
severe throughout the Northern
Hemisphere. Cold weather struck
deep into Florida, freezing palm
trees and killing millions of tarpon,
bonef1sh, and other shallow water
species. Early spring months were
cold, and warm weather came late.
That may account for the COM

Werber Halls Wilson
As One Of Greatest
Diamond Heroes

Jimmy Wilson'S catching for the
Cincinnati Reds in the last three
weeks of the National League race
and World Series with Detroit was
hailed by press and public. but Bill
Werber, Reds star third baseman,
last night offered an opinion that
Wilson's feat was one of the great

By WALTER McCALLUM.

The fishermen will find some
reason for it, ranging from the war
in Europe to an unfortunate con-
junction of planets or sun spots, or
ocean currents, but it's no secret
among the brothers of the angle
that fishing has been something
less than good this year.
A few records have been broken
at few spots, but in the main the
fishing, either in ocean, stream or
bay. has been disappointing, and not
in line with what the anglers have
had in past seasons. Ocean City
was disappointing this year, its
white marlin fisheries shot to
pieces, although record for Allison
tuna was set at the Maryland hot
spot; Miami offishore fishing hasn't
been too good. and the cabio (black
bonito) haven't been cutting up in
the lower waters of Chesapeake
Bay.
AS for bluefsh they have been
non-existent in Chesapeake Bay.
There just haven't been any since
1887. Even the tremendous rockfsh
schools of last year haven't shown
Il emselves in numbers. which can
be blamed. the sport anglers say,
on the drift netters during the
previous winter.
Silver King Absent, Too.
We made two trips to Florida
during the tarpon season, trying
for the elusive silver king. the big
jumping jack Of the herring family
Once in March in our favorite early
season spot-the Shark River
where more and bigger tarpon
gather in that month than any spot
early in the year. There weren't
any around.
Later in July, when the tarpon
should be rolling in all the rivers
and passes of the State, we tried
it again. In four days from Ever
in a country usually crammed with
silver kings, we saw very few. The
tarpon, in case you don't know
reveals his presence by rolling like
a porpoise, showing half his back
above water. They were not around
in great numbers and Boca Grande
the hottest place In Florida fol-
tarpon in May, didn't have the
usual number.
