Triplett Team Captures Thriller
From Bonano Wine, 17-16 Score

ninth to gain eventual victory over
Lima Bonano Wines, IT to Is, Tues
day night at Harmon field.
b 1t was a free-hitting contest all
the way, with both teams using two
hurlers as Triplett collected ID hits
and Bonano Wines got IT.
The visitors were especially po-
tent with the bat in the opening
frames and were out in front 13 to
5 in the sixth inning.
Then Bluffton broke loose for nine
runs to go out in front, Ii to l3,
and it looked as if the game was on
ice when they added two more in
the eighth, after holding Lima score
less in the seventh and eighth.
Bonano Wines knotted the count
in the ninth, however, with a three
run rally of their own, then with
one man out the Triplett outfit
pushed across the winning tally as
Miller was hit by a pitched ball,
following which Lewis and Schmidt
singled.
Schmidt clubbed out four hits in
the evenings melee, and Moser, Mil
Ter and Lewis each got two.

counsellor who then fought for
a more liberal Interpretation of
the law reloting TO such schools
After final argument by Rep
Banks, the license to operate a

for weeks, was granted within

In the meantime, a bond for

Plans are being made for a body
of 20 students every semester Of

The furry Of striped bass and
trout which occurred just after
the last noftheaster, died down
somewhat over last week end. Not
many schools were surfacing and
most of the fish taken were caught
bottom fishing, by floating crabs
over the bars and rockpiles or by
deep trolling at random over the
same type of bottom. The lower
Potomac from Colonial Beach to
Point Lookout, which had been
producing some nice catches OF
both stripers and trout, slumped.
Indications are that renewed &C
tivity may be expected over this
week end. provided the prevailing
high winds subside. Wednesday the
fish broke over an area about a
mile square off North and Chesa-
peake Beaches and stayed up nearly
three hours. Some few were caught
on feathers. trolled from the swarm
of boats present.
Here again, too many cooks ap-
parently spoil the broth. If you
can hit school of fish this size
with relatively few boats present,
chances Of good catches are ex-
cellent. OF course. occasionally they
will not take any lure. Mostly,
excessive zeal Of one party to get
ahead Of the other is the reason
why the fish either scare and re-
fuse bats or sound entirely. The
old army maxim, Take it easy"
is by far the best policy II you
really expect surfacing fish to take
your lure along with the bait fish
on which they happen to be feed
ing. Let out plenty of line, cruise
as far from the edge of the school
as possible and above all, never
cut through the fish.
