For IA years now, as amateur and
professional, Al Houghton has held a
links title of one kind or another.
The Beaver Dam professional, who
relinquished his amateur status II
years ago. isn't altogether happy
about his effort so far this year.
He hasn't won a title yet, and nearly
half the season has gone. Which is
the reason Al is working out on the
practice tee nowadays, growing that
already well-grooved swing so it will
not go wrong in the tournaments
ahead
One of the two titles Al now holds
is the Bedford Springs Open cham
pionship. The other is the District
Open crown. Right now AL is
pointing toward defense Of his Bed
ford Springs title, and the neat little
chunk of money that goes to the
winner in the tournament sched-
uled among the Pennsylvania
mountains July 81 and 28. It's a
little more than two weeks away
and Al wants to win again.
In between, however. Houghton
will have crack at two more titles,
and while he isn't precisely cinch
to win either or both of them. he
can win one or both. Hes that
good. The Journeys are the Balti-
more open, to be staged next Mon
day at the Elkridge Club of Balti-
more by the Middle Atlantic sec
ton of the Professional Golfers
Association; and the Maryland open
championship, scheduled over the
same Elkridge course July %.
July Is Big Month.
So July. if Al is to keep his IA
year-old record intact, looms as his
big month. The titles won't be so
many after July bows out, even
though Al will be billed as che of
the top performers in the District
open, the Middle Atlantic P. G. A.

1t took her ages to get to sleep,
and then a frightening dream came
to haunt her. The figure of Beatrice
glided in through the closed door;
Nancy could see her face quite
plainly, but it was not the lovely,
laughing face of Beatrice in the
painting The face was that of un-
Speakable woe; long, disordered
hair hung wet and dripping over
her shoulders as she pointed with
one outstretched accusing hand to-
ward another figure which Nancy
could see only dimly. With a feel
ing of nightmare horror, Nancy real
lied that she must be seeing Bea-
trice as she had been when they
took her from the water. A scream
bubbled up in her throat and she
came awake, trembling violently.
There was quick knock at the
door and, throwing a robe on, she
opened it to DR.. Sinclair.

The servants had closed the house
for the night and retired to their
quarters. There was no one about,
and the staircase creaked audibly
under their footsteps; all the small
sounds of night, unheard during the
Gay. echoed through the deserted
hall.
Nancy made cocoa on the little
grill in the buffers pantry, and
they were slipping it in the library
before the memory of her night
mare returned.
She shuddered slightly and Larry
put his arms about her very gently.
You're frightened again. Nancy

1t further" she said coldly. And
I certainly owe you no explanation
Of my conduct, Mr.. Sinclair"
Gathering the robe about her
angrilly, she rose and left the two
cousins staring after her. She ran
swiftly upstairs to her room, and
she found suddenly that she was
no longer afraid, only furious.
Furious with Greg for the insulting
Interpretation he had placed on her
presence with Larry at that hour.
What concern was it of his. any
way? He could have no possible
interest in her-she was just an
other rustic maiden, as he called
Clare, and Furthermore his aunt's
hired companion. How she hated
the cold, mocking glance he had
turned on her!
Lawrence was so different that 1t
was difficult to believe that they
were cousins. While Gregory had
been abrupt, almost brutal in his
questioning, Larry had been kind,
gentle, understanding in his SYM
pathy. concerned only in helping
her forget. She drifted off into a
mercifully dreamless slumber, and
when she awakened next morning
brilliant sunshine dispelled all
nightmare thoughts.
She found Mrs. Sinclair awake,
with Spunky in attendance as usual.
Evidently the old lady had suffered
no i'll effects or Nightmares such as
the one which had visited her, for
she looked happier and more alive
than Nancy had ever seen her When
she had finished breakfast, shared
by the kitten, she asked Nancy to
bring her checkbook
Il want to send check to the
committee for the benefit ball she
said briskly. They are holding it on
the 10th. Had you thought of
going?'

murmured

Gregory were more like him in that

She was writing busilv as she

checks. Both were for 500, one for

looked at her employer in astonish-

changed and there was sadness in
her voice as she added: Don't deny
me this small pleasure. Remember

The new work contract provides
a $40 vacation token payment TO be
made next Christmas for miners
employed in the industry a year or
more, the 1912 payment being made
at the holiday period The miners
think they're also entitled 10 the Sl3
maximum State jobless benefits for
their week of idleness. but compen-
Sation authorities don't agree.
We absolutely will not pay for their
vacation" declared Lewis G.. Hines,
State secretary of labor and indus
try. That's nothing but a bonus
and as far as we're concerned those
men are employed even if they
didn't get paid a cent during the
week. They are not unemployed. "
Eastern Pennsylvania approXi-

Good Fishing Matter Of State of Mind
Time to Get Marlin OFF Ocean City

Fishing isn't merely a sport or a
pastime. It is more state OF mind.
Through dropping a baited hook
over the side of a boat or wading
some mountain stream, the fisher
man sheds the cares and humdrum
existence of life. No matter how
great his troubles in the workaday
world, they vanish in the quest of
the uncertainties he hopes to find
afishing.
1t has been said the peace and
quiet of the woods and the long
days on bay or river bring the
relaxation, but is that the answer?
We would rather believe they are
only contributing factors, that the
element of uncertainty is what
makes fishing so attractive.
No matter how, often one goes,
there is something new. Through
lifetime no two days ever are the
same. When baited hook or lure
is dropped overheard there is no way
of knowing what it will attract, if
anything. 1t might easily be some
visitor from far off shore or the
ocean depths. 1t might be minnow
or whale"
Were it possible to catch fish
every time one went, the uncertainty
partially would be removed and
fishing would to great extent
cease to be SO interesting.
Fishing Offers Variety.
In different waters this uncer-
tainty varies. In restricted waters,
there is bound to be some restriction
in the species. Offshore the sky is
the limit-anything is possible. Yet
the chance of a big trout is more
intriguing to some than the hope
of the largest marlin ever caught Is
to others.
In going fishing there are those
who throw discretion to the winds,
others who take it too seriously.
Neither way is good. There is a
happy medium. Find it and fishing
may be all that any one could hope
for.
Interest in fishing is world wide
To Washington come anglers from
every section of the country-the
world, for that matter They read
of activities in this area and want
to tell about fishing in their sections
One lad at Annapolis from the
Canal Zone wanted news of the
black marlin fishing in Panama Bay
because to him it was more inter-
esting than white marlin fishing at
Ocean City. Other requests, equally
odd, come at frequent intervals.
The fastest, from a colonel sta
toned here. was more in the way
of a suggestion, that anglers visiting
Oregon this summer might keep in
mind the greatest fishing contest

too far to 90 with nothing but fish,
ing in mind, but a real idea for
those who might vacation out that
way.
Good Surf Fishing Likely.
For several days last week the
offshore wind put stop to surf
fishing in the Ocean City sector.
The northeast winds of the week
end. however, blew the warm sur
face water back on the shore and
with it are bound to be fish.
There are large schools of trout
lying offshore, but with water tenn
peratures as low as 54 degrees there
is little hope of getting any action
out of them. With a continuance
of onshore winds surf fishing should
be exceptionally good.
Off the 13 miles of beach north of
Ocean City is trout water. The 40
miles of Assateague Island below,
part of which is the well-known
Fox Hill Levels. have produced more
channel bass this year than we can
remember for a long time. The
total caught during the past four
four weeks is nearly 100. The past
10 days black drum have been run
ming. Those taken weighed up to
50 pounds.
White marlin have been off Ocean
City for nearly a week, but anglers
seem to be remembering last year
and the many days during the early
season when they failed to raise them
and are waiting for heavier runs
later. We believe they are making
a mistake, unless they are making
reservations now for those dates
they wish, for there are fewer boats
this year-about 20 in ALTO carry
anglers from every section OF the
East.
Six marlin have been caught in
less than a week, most of them large.
Counting on the moon, this week
should see many more brought in.
Capt. Vic Lance arrived at Ocean
City Friday from Southport. He
will be found at the yacht club
docks with Lev Raymond. Every
addition to the feet of charter boats
is real help.
