One Hundred Thousand Fishermen Happy NoW-
 Great Sport Enjoyed
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, May luc ,llISI of the mackerel have shown up inl local waters, and I can hear signs from 100000 fishermen in the met ropolitan area being waited gently and gratefully on the coastal breez- es. When the mackerel are running New York isn't quite it's natural self. There is something, to. the be- havior of the "mottle backs" that excites most saltwater fishermen. AS, a result, captains of fishing sloops up and down the coast are ready for all corners.
 The North Star, Pioneer II, Claire, Oblay, Fidus, Tamboo II, Usona, Klondyke, Moccasin arel manned with crew tackle and bait. You don't have to have a rod, hook, line, sinker, or anything to| enjoy fishing around here. The captain Of the sloop provides all-| for small fee.
 The. Whitby II has just inaugu- rated its fishing season, If you ride the Whitby II, you will go after cod and black fish. She leaves ev- cry day and. Sunday from pier !, Sheepshead Bay. A couple of bucks pays for everything, and you keep all the fish you catch. aa .e
 Captain Harry Berlin of, the Claire, an old hand at piloting fish, ermen to the fishing grounds, tells me two of his guests tnopped up with a catch of more than 400 founders in a single, day, They were running up to two pounds, which is nice pan size. Pollock also ire appearing in satisfying numbers off the Point-the Point being Montauk point. ,a. IA
 If you stand in. West Street on the Hudson in the neighborhood of the 8O's you can see traps in the river, set far out beyond the chan nel bed Traps take mackerel as Wcll do lIoOh dlih iA1t. tiiSoS oi large cone-shaped nets staked out from the Jersey side. They are
 3lainly marked SC as not to nEer-
 ere with shipping.
 Like daily baseball hoxscore5 and lying weather reports, the condi- ion of the water and the high tide table are so important to the pub ic that daily reports are maSe by the U s. Coast and Geodetic Sur Jey and are published in all metro oclitan newspapers. For instance, soday at Sandy Heck, high tide oc-
 cured at 10:45 am and l0:45 pm. =. At Oyster Bay it was l :2) am. md POI pm. .a,. At Mcatauk point it was 11:25 an, and l1:3l pm. ,..s ,,.s,s,.,.lt,..g g sa341,,., Holidays and Sundays are great ,ishing days in this coastal region, The sloops accommodate between jO and 200 fishermen. You cast off generally at dawn. In. couple of hours you reach the fishing
 grounds. <. From then on through the day the rails are lined with
 fishermen. elbow to elbow. .., :.
 There is. hilarity and also a gen.
 srous amount. of seasiicekness. When the weather is s rough the
 casualties. sometimes run as high IS 50 percent But it's a great pas
 time and a great summer coast

New York, June l3.-Answer to those who wondered why Luke sewell left the relative security Of @ coach's job nearshis home and a prospective world series cut for the thankless and rather hopeless task of managing the Browns Is that the old catcher did not believe Cleve" lands chance of winning the Amer ican League pennant was any brigh- ter than that of three or four other outfits. - o
 As a matter of fact. sewell, who is in Q position to appraise, does . pretty fair job of deflating the IT. dians, the preseason favorites.
 "Take Bob Teller of the Indians and what have you got?" asks SeW- ell. "Just a 500 ball club"
 sewell rather leans to the sur. nrisine White Sox with whom he spent his last good playing years.

 Sewell mentions the White Sox merely as an example of the bal. anced strength in the circuit.
 There are no standout teams and only one standout pitcher-Feller.
 It develops that Herold Ruel, the man credited with rehabilitating White Sox pitchers, was first choice as Fred Haneys successor ct the helm of the Browns.
 But even though St. Louis is his home, Muddy Ruel, like Art Fletcher of the Yankees, preferred to remain in the comparative obscuity of c coach's role to picking up all those headaches in the heat of Sports mans

CRUICKsHANK ExCELs WITH LONG IRONS

in 6 P. c. A. Championship when on the 22d, the Detroit professional conceded a tricky six.foot downhill putt. Cruickshank won nine of the next il holes and the match on the fist.
 Cruickshank wagered S5,0Oo that his World War I pal. Tommy Ar- mour, would defeat Harry Cooper in the play-off for the 1927 Ma tioral Open title over Pittsburgh's difficult oakmont course. Armour prevailed.
 Cruickshank fired a long iron dead to the pin to tie Bobby Jones at 2e6 in the National Open Of '23 at Inwood. He lost in the play-off.
 Long irons are the strongest part of Cruickshanks game, and con- Seqientiy his favorite weapons. He plays them crisply, his timing ver- ges on perfection.
 His stance for this shot k Slight- iy open, with the left foot drawn back about three inches.
 At address, he keeps the weight well on his heels and plays the ball about center.
 Cruickshank advises golfers to guard against overswinging.
 In long iron play, he says the club should never 60 beyond the horizontal position in the back swing.
 when this fault ocurs, the play. er is robbed of distance. The dowfis swing Is not timed correctly. The ball Is iofted or topped.
