ket as more and more of the jaded
old-tlmers turn toward this rela-
lively new method of fishing
Frankly, some of them look to us
like the product of the imagination

There are new types of rods, new

to invent a self-propelled retriever
lure, which the angler can cast
from his hand into the deep and
which will lure and catch the fish
and then deliver it to the caster.
1t will take all the fun out of fishing,
but he'll probably make fortune,
anglers being that free with their
cash, as well as suckers for gadgets.
Anglers at both Shallotte and
Southport, N. c., advise the striped
bass are beginning to take lures
vigorously in inland waters near
those towns. The fish are running
large, a 30-pounder being tops SO

at these points over the next &c

II don't understand it," con-
fessed Tony Neri. easing into q
chair with q sad expression on
his honest face. We've got the
best amateur basket ball league
in town and can't draw beans.
Took in $50 the first game and
haven't made expenses since.
When I played basket ball q
neighborhood team always had
10 or IS rooters who went along
to the games. but these teams
don't seem to have any follow
ing"
Close interrogation of Signor
Neri, who handles sports public
ity for the District National
quarry Armory, revealed that am
ateur sports are having rougher
financial shedding than the coll
leges, which have been bowling
like a cat with a bow knot in its
tail about poor attendance. The
Guard put on an amateur boxing
show, for example, and took IN
$98 in gate receipts and the Dis
trict Boxing Commissions fee
amounted to $3.50. Since then.
however, the commission has re-
duced its fee to $35 to help
things along and even that seems
to be a staggering sum.
THE eight teams in our league
each paid $75 franchise fees to
help meet expenses Tony ex-
planned, but it costs SITS a week
for officials and we only take IN
about $50. One week the crowd
was so small and 1t so cold one
of the coaches advised the spec
tators to huddle together to keep
warm. They took his advice,
but you know how it Is, you can't
always warm up to a stranger.
Then after the first heavy
snow we found water in the
middle of the court and had to
stop the games until it was wiped
up. I don't know what happened,
but the roof might have leaked"
Neri may not be talking brashly
when he calls the league the best
in town. A glance at few rosters
might convince skeptics it has re-
placed the defunct Heurlch
League, once the happy hunting
ground of the city's slickest anna

Stocking of trout streams in Vir-

of brookies and rainboWS ever raised

trout released will be of catchable

game wardens who accompany

ance from sportsmen's organiza-

of hard work is required to carry
the heavy cans of fish up the rugged
streams so they may be widely dis

The fishing tackle industry is ex-
pected to enjoy a peak year during
1948. Although it is estimated about
100000 new men and women are
