Kit Clarke, noted angler, who has
fished with l'rceldetits, su j parti joung
nticl feeling nbout 40 scars olil. Invited ,
a Run reporter j'estcrday to accompany i
him on one of IiIh dully wnlks. J
"Meet me," said tho youtlifut angler,
"at the Hrooklyn Public. Library. I.ln-1
den nvemin liraneli, nt 2 o'clock, nmt If
you arrive Hist gel a liook iinil learn
something about fishing ; If I nrrlvc first
I'll get a bonk and learn something
bout fishing, too." 1
Mr. Clarke lived In the Klalbitsh nee
tlon of llrooklyn, where an a young man
he hot rabbits. For yearn ho ban spent I
three months of tho twelve In the out of '
doors, ha made It a practice of walking .
dally, and at reaching the four score i
mile pout be 1 merely pleasantly
fatigued after a two, three, four or flel
mile walk fin bin Inclination leads blm.
Ilecenlly be walked fifteen miles In a '
day. '
The walk he. liken bext, because of j
iti Interesting associations, Ik from Mill I
Creek, Klatbutdi, over to Kort Hamilton,
five miles from where he gets off the
Klatbush avenuo car line. No one who
seea the straight tlguie frequently on
Clarendon road, Kings Highway or on
the llergen Heach or Cannrsle road
would think of calling Mr. Clarke old.
He enjoys smoking, and casually re
marked In reply to n query If he had a
certain limit that he smoked usually
from twelve to fifteen cigars a day. Yet
he la no crank on health and has no
fads. He says the natural condition of
man Is to be In robust health. It Is un-
natural to be sick, "and the man who
dies before he Is 70," he adds, "kills
himself."
Mr. Clarke ls a just a plain, common
aense man who keeps abreast of what Is
going on In the big world, nshes a little, I
plays a game of draw poker occasion-'
ally and reads much, books, magazines
and newspaers. In fact, although he
owns an early and many other editions
of liaak Walton and has a roomful of
hooks on angling, one of his pet hobbles
Is to haunt old book stores and pick up ,
books on angling that he cares for. ,

was. W. C. Hoscheit, nil around sports

summer days out of doors angling for
big game fish nnd the winter days duck

ilr. Itoschen was the flmt antler to

Just how the spearflsh could be

ceives 'Its name
The swordflsh Is one of the most diffi
cult to take on rod and reel. It uses
Its MW-ord. three and a lull' feet long, to
kill nther fishes like the albacore, bar
racuda, sk.pjacl: and small tuna.
All these llsh are used for bilt for the
vnr,dflsh, Including the red grouper, or
rock end. Sometimes the dainty little
smelt. s Inches long. s preferred.
Sometimes Mr. Hnsehen angles for
swordflsh with a twenty-live pound alba
core for bait.
( nprlelons n Human Itelna'.
Swordfl'h are like human belng 'n
their caprlciouness and In their appetite.
Sometimes when their stomachs un
filled nnlhlng will tempt them but a tun
smelt. Just as a man or woman might
only be tempted at the end of a meal
with a demi-tasse.
Swordfish are whimsical and freakish
not only In their appetites, but they have
as many moods as a big trout that will
turn with disdain and sl.rp Its tall at a
fly that the angler fels sure will bo

Mr. Itnschcn fought the fish ail d.iv

a distance nf tweiilj-slx miles when it
rolled on the leader under the ho it Just
as the boatman pi actu ally had the tlsh
In li's hands.
Thus Mr. ISoschen Inst it and at the

would have beaten the iiconl llsh on

Another tlsh fougli Mr. Ho'chen for
