west wind and the bays were
covered with whitecaps.
In crossing Little Machi.
pongo Inlet they took a beat
ing. but made Gull Marsh all
right at flood tide and started
drifting out bats of whole
squid on 80 hooks with bobbers
and short lines.
Fist fish caught was a small
sand shark but after that
everything was quiet until the
tide had been dropping a cou-
pie of hours. Then. just as
Claude discovered, the tarpon
began appearing.
Dad and the warden came
back exasperated just ahead of
a thunder squall. They had sat
all afternoon with tarpon roll
ing all around them dad
counted 69) and only once had
their bait been touche d,
whether by a tarpon or shark.
Next morning Killmon and
AL Phillips, a charter boat cap
tain on a postmans holiday,
took me out to Gull Marsh
Channel in an outboard.
I'VE had some frozen whole
squid and on the way we caught
four or five kingflsh and a
small trout which we kept
alive in a bucket until we got
to the tarpon grounds. The live
bait was a failure, though, be-
cause sharks got every fish.
When the tarpon appeared,
we were drifting whole squid at
three levels, top, bottom and in
between. George and AL were
using bobbers to suspend their

chain Of islands that lie several
miles offshore along the coast
Apparently the tarpon travel in
and out Of the inlets to feed
in the wilderness Of bays
channels and marshes.
Gull Marsh Channel, just in
side Great Machipongo Inlet
between Hog and Cobb Islands,
is the favorite fishing place
Usually, at low tide, hundreds
OF tarpon can be counted roll
ing through the channel.
Trouble is, it's only once in
awhile they'll bite. Old timers
think the tarpon may do their
principal feeding in the bays
instead of the channels, but
the bay waters are shallow even
for an outboard and Uttered
with oyster rock.
There had been reports that
the tarpon were not very plen-
tiful this season. George Kill
mon of Wachapreague, counted
only six on a recent visit.
But Claude Rogers of Vir-
ginia Beach, director of the
Virginia Salt Water Fishing
Tournament. sat in an out
board for two days and discov-
cred that the fish were not
going through the channel at
low tide as usual, but three or
four hours earlier.
From here on we'll let Chuck
tell about the trip:
Dad wanted to go tarpon
fishing the night we arrived.
But I had a chance to go Oh
shore with Capt. Bill Burton
on Lulu and we brought back
a nice catch Of bonito.
Meanwhile, Milton Dowdy,
A ack County game
warden who lives in Wacha-
preague. took Dad to the tar
pom grounds in his 16-foot out
board patrol boat. The weather
was clear but there was a brisk
Evening star., 1960-08-16

bats while mine was riding In
the tide near the bottom.
There weren't so many tar
pom as the day before and we
sat a long time, four or FIVE
hours at least. before I got my
strike. The tide had nearly
ebbed when the line started
moving out.
Il was using an ordinary
boat rod with Penn Senator
reel and couple of hundred
yards of 45-pound dacron line.
I thought the fish was just an
other shark and let the spool
spin quite awhile before I
hauled back hard.
"The fish had had plenty Of
time to swallow the bait and
it was we'll hooked. 1t was a
long time, though, before it
jumped as tarpon do, lunging
off instead on a straight course
near the bottom much like any
shark. But finally it veered
straight for the surface and
came out. all glistening and sill
very, and I was in for a fight.
"At the same time a strong
wind whipped up from the
northwest and before long
there was a good sea running.
THE rough water didn't
help a bit and my muscles
ached before I finally brought
the tarpon alongside. Lacking
a gaf, George gilled it aboard"
Note from the outdoor edi-
tor:
Only thing Dad can do now
Is 20 catch a bigger tarpon.

The annual Leech Cup inter-
service team championships get
under way today at the Army
Navy Club with the Marine
Corps a strong favorite to de-
fend successfully the title won
last year. Army, Navy, Air
Force and the Marine Corps
will each enter a team Of three
singles and four doubles for
the competition.
The Leech Cup was donated
in 1921 by Abner Y. Leech,
prominent Washington player
and former treasurer of the
United States Lawn Tennis
Association. In the intervening
years. Navy has won the cup
10 times, Army 7, Air Force 2
and the Marine Corps /.
This year the Marine Corps
team will include Jon Douglas,
Sd ranking player in Southern
California, and John Cranston,
10th ranked in the same area.
Ensign John Lesch, also a
ranking player in Southern
California, is the Navy's best
player. Gerald Moss, of Miami,
fourth ranked Elm the Florida
association, is the Army's lead
ing netmen. Capt. Charles
Oliver, who made the coveted
First Ten in 1914, will head the
Air Force team.
The finals of the Leech Cup
Team Championship will be
played tomorrow and on Thurs
day the All-Service Champion
ships begin-men's singles and
doubles and senior singles and
doubles. The singles title is up
for grabs this year as no one
dominates the field as did Barry
MacKay, Americas Davis

not Florida tarpon. but Vir-
ginia tarpon. For many weary
hours we've sat in an outboard
and watched the big fish roll all
around us, so close they could
almost be touched, and COM
pletely snubbing our bait.
The situation got so bad
that we finally longed for a
harpoon.
In the six trips we've made
we've hooked just one tarpon,
a fish that frightened the wits
out of the occupants Of a near
by boat with its jumps and then
snapped the leader under the
keel.
Enough to make anyone quit?
Oh, no. The more these tarpon
have eluded us the more stub
born we've become. So last week
we asked our son, Charles, jr.
(Chick to most people, if he
would like to go fishing at
Wachapreague.
Now Chuck is hardly a no
vice, but he'd never caught
anything as big as a tarpon.

To give you an idea how
lucky he was. only IA tarpon
have been reported taken on
Vrginia's Eastern Shore since
1855. Perhaps a dozen have
been hooked and lost this sea-

The idea behind the trip was
partly to give Chuck a last fish,

"In New York." she recalls, Il happened

later the Sculpture Center. When got into
sculpture, il just seemed to click"
In Washington, she began to study seri-
