ST. CLOUD, Mimi. July "a
With top money all but pocketed
by the Lucky 13" team, SO other
blistered and muscle-worn pad
dlers in the Minneapolis Aqua
tennial Canoe Derby skinned to-
ward the finish line today. eying
the rest of an $4,000 purse.
Tom Estes and Gene Jensen,

evening.
The Minneapolis duo pushed
their No. 13 canoe into the lead

added few minutes each day, and
by last night had built up 38-
minute edge over second-place
Irwin and Floyd Peterson. North

Second Worth $1,5OO.
If Jensen and Estes come in as
expected, they will walk off with
$4,000. The Petersons are an
equally good bet to pull down the
81 500 second prize.
They hold a lead of an hour
and three minutes over Eric
Hughes and Harold Westby of Be-
midi, running third and shooting
for a $1,000 slice of the melon.
Other prizes totaling $500 will
be distributed down to goth place.

States and three Canadian prov
inces, Minnesota teams again

its present high standing in local
boating circles.

OUTDOORS

We have received letter gently
taking The Star to task for pub
fishing the above tide tables only
once a week and so often getting
them wrong. Perhaps q word of
explanation may help. Your scribe
works out these tables which are
taken from the publication.
Tide Tables, East Coast, North
and South America" published
annually by the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey. You
can obtain a copy for Is cents
from the Government Printing
Office. They are interesting
tables and contain low water"
periods and also depth of water
as it changes from high tide to
low. In using the above tables
it must be born in mind that they
give the times of high water and
not the times Of turning of the
current. Also that the height of
the tide varies in depth from day
to day and is dependent upon
many factors, such as barometric
pressure, high winds and heavy
rains causing freshets in tidal
tributaries. These tables are a
guide solely. 1t would be impos-
sible for any one to predict the
tides with absolute certainty.
Except for the omnipresent
spot salt water fishing has not
been too good this week and be-
cause of muddy waters inland
fresh water angling. except In
mountain trout streams and
ponds not affected by continued
rains, has been very poor. The
hardhead are scattered widely in
the bay and few have been taken
recently, except the little fellows.
The bay seems to be full Of them,
which augurs we'll for better
angling for this species over the
next two years. A few trout are
being taken and an occasional
blue. There are also plenty Of
small rockf1sh surfacing, most Of
them too small to keep.
Women are taking more and
more to angling and many excel.
However it is unusual to find them
venturing far afield- by themselves
as did a group of four young ladies
from the finger print division OF
the FBI. Last week end, headed by
Mrs. Thelma Bentley, the fair
quartet put out from Ocean City.
Md, aboard the Dream Girl
captained by Walter Boss. Others
of the party were Misses Pat
Bucheim, Irene Reifenrath and
Jobob jolly. White marlin were
their objective. Dame Fortune
smiled upon Mrs. Bentley, who
after a battle Of 142 minutes,
landed a 7 foot 4 inch marlin,
thereby becoming the first wom-
an out of Ocean City to land one
of these fish this season. We un-
derstand this group is keeping a
record of the numbers and species
of fish they catch this year, and
shortly will take to Chesapeake
Bay waters.
