The Robins Bodies couldn’t have a bit of luck shooting against the Midwest crew. It* mis Bags gave, the Mormons n hot scrap, but lost out In the final round. Walton and Haisiup were the t>!g Martnous. Fisher of the Nationals pulled almost the same stunt as Walton, getting a couple of I‘JOs and a 201.

"I haven't caught a fish." "You never can tell," laughed the native. “You haven't losksd inside your frog 7*t-"
