FISH ARE PLENTIFUL LA TE IN AFTERNOON AND A T NIGHT EVENING RAIN BELIEVED CAUSE By GINO SIMI Fish are plentiful at all salt ► . water fishing points, but they •re only biting in the late after noon and at night. Just why they are taking ad vantage of the bait only at those unearthly hours, no one has been definitely able to un derstand. Inquiring anglers, who sailed forth from our fair hamlet to .track down the finney preys, 'have heard seamy-featured old • «ea salts opine as how it’s be cause of the late afternoon rains we have been having lately. The old water-fronters discov ered that fish bite much more eagerly and put up a better light after a shower, though why that is,, no one ventures to say. Perhaps a nice, cool shower af fects our piscatorial friends in the same way that it does ordi nary man. Anglers Warned *■ Anyway, the fact remains, that If you would be successful in your •quest for the water-residents, you must hie forth after 4 o’clock in the afternoon, and wend your *weary way homeward shortly after kunrise. Anglers who are in the habit of dabbling in the waters around Great Falls proper, are warned that the license laws will be en forced there in the future. War a dens have been inclined to re gard fishing in those waters with a tolerant eye, but the “higher-ups" are stepping down on them to enforce the laws, hence the warning. Joe Turner, senior and junior, and George King continued their ■weekly fishing excursions, this time with Piney Point as their ob jective, and captured 78. They missed Rudy Dusek, who is bam •torming in the West. • What happens to the bowlers in the good old summer time? Well, come take up golf, Astor H. Clarke, for instance. Others go fishing. Arthur Logan, Hokie Smith and several King Pin duckpin wallop ers have been going out regularly. Two weeks ago at Point Look out they returned with 70 big beauties, including five trouts weighing six pounds each. Last week-end they went to Broome's Island and got 50. This week end Logan is heading a party of 35 to Point Lookout. Costantin Dracos. Harold Eracer, James Williams and Harry Gill more whiled away a little time at • Solomons, catching a few hard heads and a f'/j-lb trout. Ten Greeks, including Dracos are on •their way to River Springs on the lay to spend Sunday. Mr. Trueworthy nabbed 98 eplendid perch at Chapel Point.. E. M. Conn hauled in IS fmsters Bt Horse Landing on the Patux-' ent, several hardheads weighed over 3 pounds. Chester Guy. Charles S. Tucker and fam'ly gpent Sunday at Rock Point, and. • caught nearly 200, mostly good sized spots, but including hard heads and trout. Rocks Plentiful Generous quantities of rocks £re reported in the Severn River, nd all of the fighting kind. Mr. Reelly made a large catch of them.

A party caught 40 rowboat Wishing off Cobb’s Island, and Shrank Barclay motor-b oat e d around Raggedy Point, returning With 90. Bill Flester said that he fished between Broomes Island and Solo mons Thursday, and didn’t catch a thing. But on Friday and Saturday, large catcher, were made. A man named Cave and * three others came in with a fine catch of hard-heads, some weigh ing four pounds, and a few trout. Flester claims that the best crabbing ground in these regions is located at Mayo Landing, a jnile or so away from Beverley ch. The river continues muddy, but « fair size catch of bass, catfish and perch was reported in the Tidal Basin. • Scouts Day Draws 1,000 to Glen Echo Col. E. I.

Nicholson has away all his own. in fishing for bass in muddy rivers. He walks along the bank of the river until he comes to a clear stream, and there lures the poor, unsuspecting bass to destruction. The results are not as generous as in the river proper, but its lots better than coming back empty handed. Mort Steiner has the word of Capt. John Heywood, that the fish at Gloucester are calling for him, and that they are running wild all over the waters. Mort.

GOLF By HORTON SMITH Perhaps the most difficult thing, after you have started back with your club with arms, wrists and club even, is to avoid lifting the club up instead of swing around with the left arm. If you lift the club entirely up ward, after the start-back, your fault is that you cease going with your shoulders and substi tute the lifting. Here it still is |a4...

And to do that you have to school yourself to take sufficient time. Your best method to make your shoulders turn is to stiffen your right leg —with that, the shoulders have to turn if you keep your head still. You must take enough time because there is a slight pause at the turn, without which you will start forward be fore you have finished going back. That means bad results. WESTERN GREW FAVORED PHILADELPHIA, July 25—Two Western entries, the Century Boat Club of St. Louis and the Detroit Boat Club's senior eight were among the favorites in today’s ■senior championship in the Na tional Regatta on the Schuylkill River. Highlights on today’s program are the senior singles quarter mile dash; senior four-oared shells; senior 145-pound eights; senior 145-pound doubles, senior singles: senior eights and senior squads. Jim Rice’s Detroit boat and the Century Club qualified in the sec ond heat yesterday in which the national titleholder, Springfield. Mass., Rowing Association was eliminated. Detroit was clocked in time of 6:29 1-5. The St. Louis Club finished second. The dis tance was a mile and a quarter. The first heat was won by Penn A. C. in time of 6:10 4-5. Robert Cumming came all the way from San Francisco only to be beaten by Thomas Clark of the Undine Barge Club in the senior 145-pound single sculls.

WHITE HAVEN WANTS The White Haven Seniors want games with teams in their class. Call Manager Becker, at Cleveland 2648. GRIFF WANTS WINNING TEAM HERE By GARRETT WATERS A grand shake-up is due the Griffmen before another season rolls around. At least that's the conclusion one takes these days j with Manager Johnson's present entry such an apparent failure this year. No actual statements have been made by Uncle Clark Griffith and Manager Johnson, but it is a known fact that both are thor oughly discouraged with present conditions. It is the general idea that Griff has several ideas up his sleeve about next year's plans. Joe Engel is in town and that is one sign. Still all Handsome Joe can talk about these days is the ma terial he has down Chattanooga way, and the manner in which his boys are going. Play Browns Today There’s one thing certain. Something ought to be done very t soon about the slumping Gr't’fs. : That is. something in regards to ■ next year, if not this year. A shakeup, new life, new faces would help. Maybe Griff will do something soon if the old pa tience will only hold out. While things are at a stand still Manager Johnson’s men entertain the St. Louis Browns in the third game of the cur rent series today. Fred Marberry is slated to do the home club’s hurling while Walter Stewart is the likely Kil lefer choice. Marberry. by the way, has turned in about the best work of the Griff pitchers of late. He has won his last seven games and has a record of nine games won I against only one lost for the sea son. Fred’s Work Encouraging i Big Fred's work is one of the I few encouraging things about the Griffmen’s efforts at this time. If the sturdy hurler can only con tinue to show the way to the rest of his mates, maybe they’ll get into his swing of things in a short I while. Manager Johnson, incidentally, I holds the greatest confidence in I Marberry over any of his other pitchers. Says Johnson: “I feel like I can call upon Fred at any time, so truly a great pitcher is he. No situa tion seems too hard for him to conquer. It just brings out the courage he has. when you come right down to it. Yes. he’s do ing the best work of the collec tion on the staff at present.” ! Marberry’s success has come i'chiefly because of his courage. When he first broke into the big I leagues he had to conquer a ; weakness which promised to j shorten his career. He had no curve ball. I Fred Develops Curve Os recent years he has devel oped a twister to mix with his fast one. But while he was de veloping his curve it took cour age to go in there day in and day out and pitch when he knew he didn't have things completely developed. Now that Fred has both curves and speed when he hurls the sphere plateward, he has found it of great value to him. This season, for example, he i has been able to fool batters he could not come near fooling in : other years. The Browns conclude their se ries with the Griffmen tomorrow. : Lloyd Brown is down to hurl for i Manager Johnson while the Browns will no doubt use George Blaeholder, stellar right-hander. | The Cleveland Indians appear next for four games before the I A’s show here next Saturday and Sunday.
