Eagles Take Ist County Junior Title in Playoff The Takoma Eagles defeated Colesville, 5-4 and 90, to win the Montgomery County Boys’ Baseball Association's Junior Division title. Good relief pitching and clutch hitting were the deciding factors in the first game. When starter John Roth faltered and allowed Colesville to build up a 3- lead in the fifth inning, re liefers Richie Marchall and Ned Blackwell came in and didn't allow a hit the rest of the way. Marchall struck out the side with the bases loaded. The Eagles battled back to a 4- tie, then won the game with two away in the bottom of the seventh when Mickey Keegan tripled and came in to score the winning run on Richie Har grove’s single. Colesville pulled the only triple play of the Association this season in the fourth inning. With Eagle runners on first and second, Mickey Keegan lined a hard shot to second baseman Bill Johnson who stepped on second and threw to first for the triple killing. . !############################ • Plumbing & Heating Contractor PO. 2-6472 Rockville, Md.

What, just a short time ago, used to be a pleasant, quiet town, sur rounded by pretty farms and countryside is now a junior metropilis. The tremendous growth in population in the general area has created many prob lems that must be solved. On a local scale the job has been han dled fairly well. The public demand for out door recreation has grown with the expanding population. Take the situation at Seneca, on the Potomac. In 1946 it was possible to fish all day at this river spot ana see less than 10 boats—and all of these would be used by fishermen. Today, on weekends, this is a mecca for boatmen and resem bles a country fair. Parking is a problem; even getting the boat in the water is time con suming. New York Is Wise Last May, Nelson Rockefeller, Governor of New York, asked the New York Commission on Conservation to make a survey of the immediate and long-term outdoor recreational needs and to submit to the legislature rec ommendations for consideration. The survey turned up some startling data. I think few peo ple were aware of how critical was the problem. This same sit uation, on a slightly smaller scale, exists in Maryland. Day use areas, picnic spots, roadside eating tables, parks, fishing sections of public wat ers, and almost every outdoor public facility is short of the current need—what will it be in another ten years? Three Steps We must do three things, and quickly, if we expect to see our children and ourselves, enjoy the outdoors a few years hence. Additional lands, some close to big cities, must be secured. Careful planning as to their use and development must follow. Finally, we must proceed with the actual development.

This will be voted upon in the fall by the peeople of the state. The money will be spent on three levels. For state purposes, and state parks, and among lo cal counties and towns. Bonds will be paid off from the annual revenue derived from the projects. Maryland should seriously consider such an idea, and be gin immediately to take steps along these lines to insure us of a place to play in the outdoors in the future. • • • Free Bay Book The Tidewater Fishery Com mission is offering a free book let, with a map, to anyone in terested in fishing or boating on the Chesapeake.

HA. 7-7300 Reekvllln, Md. BAY FISHING Capt. Gene Hunt .; "saii o' > Chesepeeke ■•• eh, MJ. We took St. Margaret’s midget baseball team fish ing Monday, August 15. If you have never been aboard a boat with 13 bright-eyed 10 to 12-year-old boys, you have missed a delightful experience. We started out bottom fishing on the Diamonds, but a school of rock fish started - 1 ■ ‘ breaking below us so we took a crack at them. We rigged up three rods plus the two outrig gers and let the boys take turns. The fish stayed up and the boys had the time of their lives. Every fish that came aboard was the biggest, according to each Junior size DiMaggio that hauled it in; and after about an hour, if you totaled the fish each claimed he had caught, you would have had to have an other boat to carry them home in. When the fish finally quit, we had 47 nice rock fish and a mess of spot. This was the first fishing trip for most of these boys and I’m sure they will re member it for a long, long time. There are many fathers who will, at the drop of a hat, join the office group, come down with a load of booze, get such a snootful that they couldn’t catch a fish in a rain barrel and all the time kid themselves that they are having a good time. If this same fellow would try some time giving his boy and maybe some of his buddies a little trip, he would be in for a pleasant surprise. Not only would he grow in the eyes of his boy, he would find perhaps for the first time, that a fish ing trip really can be fun. We went back to this same school of rock fish Tuesday with H. R. Beck of Silver Spring. We boated 79 of these rock, plus four bluefish. |g. d.
