Chesapeake Trout Fishing Excellent

Right now it appears black bass
fishermen can give their bugs a
workout, for the Potomac is clear.
How long it will stay so is beyond
our venturing a guess. but in view
of the long stretch of rainy weather
We believe the law of averages is
about to give anglers a short break.

Di Mogs Best Brother
Act Ever in Baseball
By JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.

NEW YORK, July "a IN lana -
The day Joe Di Maggios hitting
streak was broken. a near relative
named Dominick Di Maggie hit
safely three times and batted in
three runs. Among his blows was
a triple.
In some quarters they swear that
Dominick is a better fielder than
Joe. In all quarters they admit
that both are great flelderS. And
In the National League they know
there are few better fielders and no
better throWers than Vince Di Mag
eio of the Pittsburgh club. AND
nobody who can hit ball farther
In other words, the Di Maegio
family today represents the hest
brother act in baseball. But brother
acts are not rare. You get a boy
who plays baseball pretty well, and
makes living at it, and his younger
brother is apt to take up baseball,
too. Sometimes he is good. At
least it happens often enough.
Ed Delehonty Held Unique
Record in Home Runs
Ed Delehanty occupies special
place in the little red book of base
ball records because, among other
things, he is the only man in base
ball history to lead each major
league in home runs. But there
