Breodon's Mexican Trip Nearly
Brouuht War With Chandler

Had they not been brought together
by a mediator, there would have
been some tall fireworks at the Joint
meeting the next day.
BreAdon, upon his return from
Mexico, obstinately refused to report
to Chandler at Cincinnati. though
the commissioner sent him two sum-
mons. Breadon's stand was that
his visit to Mexico City had been
a personal matter, and that he did
not want Jorge Pasquel, president
of the Mexican League, TO think he
had been down there "snooping"
for the commissioner.
Upon receiving Breadon's second
refusal, Chandler slapped the heavy
fine and the suspension on the St,
Louis owner. and they were head
ing for a fiery showdown at the
Joint meeting until they were
brought together and reconciled.
Breadon promised Chandler hs
would call on him at Cincinnati inn
mediately after the All-Star game,
which he did.
Contrary to some reports, 1t was
learned officially that the matter
did not arise at the joint meeting
OF the leagues. The meeting lasted
only about six minutes and was con-
cerned with routine matters.

Since writing last week about a

astonishing piece of information
about these fish. In fact, If we did
not have implicit faith in the knowl-

find it hard to believe, although we
have had meager supporting evi-

say. This is rather conclusive evil
dence that this species of fine game
fish is on the increase and should
in future years furnish some real
sport for local anglers.
In the Chesapeake, trout, hard
head and rockf1sh are biting freely
again, and you may plan your trip
to any of the tried and true loca-
tions with almost complete assur-
ance of some kind of sport. The
Eastern Bay area, the Gooses, Tall
Timbers and other fishing points
are all furnishing lots of action.
Of the coast, fishing is in full
swing. The surf casters have been
having their innings, but from now
on may mostly expect hardhead.
trout, kingfish and occasional sharks
to furnish their sport.
On shore, at Ocean City, Md, and
elsewhere, large schools of blues
are Turing many from trips farther
out to the Gulf Stream. Our good
friend, Harry Walters, setting out
one day last week for the Jack Spot
after marlin, ran into blues from
three to five pounds and put in the
day with them, bringing back some
80 fish. Harry reports that some
nice rockfish have been taken off
the jetties at Indian River inlet be-
tween Rehoboth and Bethany
Beach.
Wildfowlers may look for next
seasons regulations to be released

the reduction in bag limits and
