—Let’s Go Fishing— ANGLER LOSES IN LONG FIGHT TO LAND BASS Walt Jones Learns Tricks Used Last Year Are Failures. BY LEFY LEE Time* Fishing Editor Well, here we are again with the old, old story. While casting with Walt Jones on Little Blue river Sunday we were witness to one of those battles that happen but once In a lifetime. Jones was casting a stretch of water that had been widened a „ made deeper by the removal of gravel when he secured a strike that made him think he had the bottom securely snagged. The Grandaddy of all the small mouth bass in this stream soon made him change his mind, however, when he made three of his famous leaps in about as many seconds. Jones hooked and landed a sixpound, twelve-ounce bass in Freeman lake last year, so he thought that the same method of letting Mr Bass wear himself down would apply in this case. As the battle progressed the bass continued to gain just a little line, and it was not long until he reached his den, and then the stuff was off. Jones would bring the bass to him about three feet, and then the fish would return the compliment, until the line finally gave, and another beauty was free to give some other angler a battle in the future. Jones was out one perfectly good Jack’s casting fly but he will tell any one that the sport he had trying to land this one was worth while, even though he was on the losing end. Harold Gerdts and Paul Hare had a big time on Nyona lake Sunday, their catch being thirty-two crappie, eighteen blue gill, and eight catfish. The fish have been biting ever since Labor day on this lake, and an angler is almost certain to get his limit in crappie most any day. That the anglers are using Jack’s casting fly is reflected in the number of fish taken on this bait. Tom Johnson used this lure on Sugar creek, near Mechanicsburg, the other day, and landed a three and three-quarter pound small mouth bass. Wendling also took a day off ana hit White Lick creek, near Mooresville, with J. Webber. They landed a total of nine bass, Wendling using his dual spinner and Webber a home-made hackle fly. with a fly rod. The fish averaged about one and one-half pounds. Here we have a real fish story from Brevoort Lake. Mich. Three local anglers, J. W. Knowles, Charles Knowles and Jack Ford, made the trip to this famous lake and had the time of their lives. The prize catch was a tiger muskie that hit the scales at fifty-five pounds. The fish was fifty-two inches long and it required three hours to land him. One hundred northern pike and fifteen bass also were taken. The bass and muskie were brought back when they returned, but most of the pike were returned to the water. In most branches of sport the right-handed person has the edge, but when it comes to bait casting we left-handers come into our own in a big way. The reason for the edge is the fact that when casting we are ready to retrieve at once, while the right-handers must change hands before they are able to start reeling in the bait. While the writer does not claim to be a star caster, the fact remains that with the same number of strikes secured, our take always has been slightly better than the average fisherman who had to change before he was ready. Early this season we were fishing with a lad who never could land a strike, as he had a bad habit of taking too much time to make the change and Mr. Bass would get the slack line he needed to make his getaway. That same day we had two strikes, and both times the fish was landed. The pair of us finally decided that the reason for this was because we were always in position for the strike frem the time the cast was made.

Irvington’s New Acting Group Gets Fine Start

‘Happy Landing,’ Capably Directed by Miss Muriel Brown, Was Played Before a Capacity Audience. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN IRVINGTON today should feel very proud of its new acting group which made its debut last night before an audience which taxed every inch of space of the auditorium of Irvington school, No. 57, at 5433 East Washington street. The Irvington Playhouse came into existence with a performance of Happy Landing.” a light and pleasant little comedy by Anne Wyley. It is the plan of Miss Muriel Brown, director of the Irvington Playhouse, to present eight plays during the first season, starting the last week in October. The first bill of the regular subscribed season will be “The Bride," a mystery comedy which was presented on Broadway with Peggy Wood in the role of the bride.

The “home" of the Irvington Players will be in the brick building owned by the Irvington Methodist church at 33 Layman avenue. The cast of “Happy Landing,” was as follows: Bennett Lorin Woodward Helen Craig Kathleen Sims Jeremiah Leighton .. Scott Ging Sally Leighton Lilian Hamilton Elaine Craig Mary Brown Jerry Leighton Bob Moffett John Craig Edward Green Nancy Craig Thelma Boldman Dr. Douglass MacFarlane . David Travers Mrs. Lilian Hamilton who has appeared in many plays of the Civic theater in the last few years and also was one of its chief workers when it was known as the Little Theatre, had the main role in “The Happy Landing.” Mrs. Hamilton gave a performance of charm. She knows how to put over her comedy situations. David Travers as Dr. Douglass MacFarlane easily established himself as a matinee idol. He not only has the looks but a voice that commands attention. He has an easy way on the stage. The etnire cast was about letter perfect. The smoothness of the performance speaks well for the director as well as the acting group. It seems to me that this community playhouse has every chance for success. I only hope that this new organization will have a splendid season. Short talks were made between the second and third acts by Norman Green, director of the Sutherland Players, and myself. a a a Indianapolis theaters today offer Will Rogers in “Doctor Bull” at the Apollo.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

TAX PAYING TO BE LATE IN AID I OF MORATORIUM New Law Gives Ten Years for Delinquencies Prior to 1931. Extension to November of the i deadline for payment of 1933 tax ini stallments in order to meet “mora- | torium” requirements has been an- ! nounced by William P. Cosgrove, state board of accounts cjjief examiner. A statute passed by the last legislature provides that ten years may be taken to pay delinquent taxes fer 1931 and prior periods, if current taxes are paid. The ruling first made the May installments of this year the deadline. The extension will affect approximately 7.500 Marion county taxpayers, according to County Treasurer Timothy P. Sexton. To benefit by the moratorium, May installments must be paid with delinquent fees and interest, and the November installment must be paid in full, Mr. Sexton said. Approximately $2,500,000 in delinquent taxes may be collected eventually under the plan, it is said.

HOLDERS OF AETNA STOCK FACING SUIT Bank Closing Results in Liability Action. A liability suit involving ninetythree stockholders of the defunct Aetna Trust and Savings Company, 23 North Pennsylvania street, was filed in circuit court today seeking to collect from stockholders and obtain appointment of a receiver.

It states that $1,357,332.74 is due creditors and asserts that assets will fall $250,000 short of meeting the liabilities. Former Governor James P. Goodrich is named as the principal stockholder with 1,21718-40 shares with a par value of $121,745. Other members of the Goodrich family of Winchester, Ind„ or Goodrich interests, are alleged to hold 288 shares valued at $32,000.

Contract Bridge

BY W. E. M’KENNEY Secretary American Bridge League SOME day I hope to see the premium for honors abolished in contract. In the first place, it seems unjust that you should deal a player all the cards in the deck —enough to allow him to make a small or a grand slam against you—and then, in addition to the slam bonus, the trick count, and the game bonus, give him 100 to ±SO points for holding all of these good cards. But even worse than that is the | fact that the average beginner, j when holding honors, allows it to influence his bidding. How often have you seen the beginner, when holding 150 aces, insist that the | hand be played at no trump. Take, for example, the following hand which was played in a club i duplicate game. Out of the eleven tables playing, only three pairs obtained a plus score. The others played the hand at either seven hearts or seven no trump, and of course neither can be made. The proper bidding is as follows: South and West pass, and North bids one no trump. South bids two diamonds. While he can make a one over one spade bid, it is better for him to bid the diamonds so that he can show the distribution to his partner. Over two diamonds, North should bid three hearts. South now will bid three spades. North, with his 150 aces, can now bid four no trump, inviting a slam. SOUTH then should bid five spades—rebidding the spades at this point definitely shows a sixcard diamond suit and a five-card spade suit. The diamonds first were bid, showing that they were longer than the spades, and the spades have been bid and rebid, showing the suit to be a five-carder. North, with his strong hand, now is justified in bidding seven spades. With the king of clubs opening by West, the declarer wins with the ace in dummy, discarding a heart from his own hand. The ace of diamonds is cashed and then a club is ruffed in declarer’s hand. The last losing club in dummy is discarded on the king of diamonds. Then the jack of hearts is won with dummy’s ace and a small heart is ruffed with the jack of spades. The eight of spades is played and overtaken with the nine. Another small heart is ruffed with the queen of spades. The king of spades is led and overtaken by the ace, and the hand is solid. (Copyright. 1933. by NEA Service. Inc*
