Lovedoy, Roted Second.
Heads Male Players;
Fair Champ Back

Several nationally-ranking play
ers and State and city champions
will come here this week end for
the fifth annual Atlantic Coast bad

Titles will be at stake in five
classes-men's and women's singles

Carl Loveday. second nationally
rated badmintoner from Montclair,
N. j., and runnerup in the national
championship last year, will top the
mems list. Harry Hackett of Phila-
delphia, No on the national list,
may give him his sternest fight,
although Stig Larsen, Gould Nor
rison, Russ Grant, Harry Conlo and
Ed Dileone - champions of New
York, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Chi
cago and Cleveland-promise to be
very much in the running.
Mary Hagan, the Atlantic Coast
and Eastern champion. will be on
hand to defend the title she won
here last year and Mary White
more, former national women's
champion, is expected.
One of the years sensations of
the sport, 14-year-old Shirley Fry
of Akron, Ohio, also has sent in
her entry and may be worth the
price of admission of any one ses-
sion. In the last six weeks little
Miss Fry has won three important
championships - the Ohio State
Open, Ohio State Closed and In
dianapolis Invitation-even though
this is her first year in national
competition.

It would be difncult to estimate
the number OF fishermen from
Washington and other close-by
communities who fish Pennsylvania
streams. They are legion, and more
than likely they are interested in
the regulations promulgated this
week for the next open season.
Trout will be fair game April ID
and continue so through July 81.
The season for black bass has been
set for July l to November 80, in
elusive. Size and creel limits re-
main unchanged.
One important change is the ban
on trolling from a motorboat or
with the aid of an outboard motor.
Another, which anglers should
keep foremost in mind, is the neces-
sity for a person who handles the
oars while his companion is casting
also to have a fishing license. This
regulation will lessen the headaches
prevalent among wardens in whose
bailiwick there are big waters.
Records Are Stabilized.
Previous to 1899 the keeping OF
records on the catches of big game
fish was a haphazard affair. The
late Tommy Aitken, Erl Roman and
other outdoor writer's worked with
several national magazines as best
they could, but difference in tackle
standards was too much of a STUN
bling block, and with no governing
body to pass on claims the records
continued chaotic. Then, when
large fish caught in foreign waters
were added, with further variations
In tackle requirements, anything

Considers Docked Boats.
The bureau has eased the original
ruling that a boat owner must pay
full five-month fee for the period
ending July l of this year. even
though he may not put his boat
overheard until late spring or early
summer. Internal revenue COL
lectors have been advised that the
owner whose boat at present is laid
up must pay proportionately from
the time the craft actually is placed
in use this season.
Yachtsmen are reminded, how
ever, that once the boat goes over
board ready for use she must carry
the use tax stamp. Just because
you fail to use your yacht, once
commissioned, is no excuse for
claiming a proportionately smaller
tax.
On July full years tax will
fall due for boats then in use. 1t
will be due from the time the craft
is first placed in the water during
the fiscal year and will include all
months up to June 30, 1943, al
though the boat may be laid up
during the winter.

The stamp, incidentally, is the
same you buy for your automobile

Among other things, OFT holds the

he once drew five bases on balls in

in each of seven years he clouted
