SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 17. — The
striped bass of Atlantic waters, which
has been transplanted to the Pacific
ocean is said to have prospered amaz
ingly. \\ hile litis fislt in its native
east attains an average weight of
about six- pounds, catches which have
been made here show that it attains
an average weight of between fifteen
and twenty pounds in Pacific waters.
Approximately 1,800 additional of
these striped bass recently have been
released near San Diego by the state
fish and game commission and they
are expected to prosper equally with
those which have now become quite
plentiful in San Francisco bay. When
the experiment was first made there
were many who were skeptical of its
success, in view of the splendid r*
suits which have been obtained it is
more than likely that this fish will be
planted at other points along the Pa
cific coast.
1-or tile information of Pacific coast
anglers who are anxious to try their
luck with these fish which have a re
putation for gameness, the following
hints are given by the fish and game
commission.
i he striped bass is ail omni verous
feeder, taking clam readily, but pre
ferring crab or lobster. On the east
ern coast a favorite bait is “shedder
crab the solt shell crab of the epi
cure. Locally (he “lobster” or craw*
iish should be very good bait. Thev
also Will Id 1. ,, «.- .i.... _ .
x evpn a fly when properly presented
under favorable conditions. A favor
ite food also is a small minnow.
The fish is naturally a brackish wa
ter fish, living for a part of the year
at least at the junction of a fresh wa
ter stream into the ocean. The great
weight attained by the bass will give
them a great advantage in their fight
for liberty, especially over the light
tackle fishermen.
The bass are protected against com
mercial fishing, it being forbidden to
take commercially any fish under
three pounds, and also forbidden to
take commercially any fish between
September 25 and .November 14 of
each year. For personal consumption,
however, and with rod and line not
over five fish are allowable.
Tennis players of California are ex
peeled to rally on behalf of ihe courts
of Golden Gate I’ark in San Fran
cisco, which have been dubbed "the
cradle of California tennis cham
pions.” The courts, which are free to
the public and on which some inter
national stars like Maurice Mel.ough
lin, William M. Johnson and others
learned the game as youngsters, need
as an adjunct, a suitable club house
for housing the embryo champions.
In order to get the money for its
construction il has been proposed to
stage a great indoor tennis tourna
ment similar to the annual affair now
held each season in New York. No
less an edifice than the exposition
auditorium is being considered to
house the event.
The Golden Gate I'ark commission
ers have been apprised of tlie need
of ihe tennis players and have agreed
to construct a $5,000 structure provid
ed the players themselves raise $1,500
for the total amount.
California's star players already
have been approached on the subject,
and all have readily consented to en
ter the competition in the event that
the nnangenicM can be put through.
The matches will lie played at night
so tluit many who have not had the
opportunity of seeing these court stars
in action will have the chance of do
ing so outside of office hours.
It is ti fact that whil California has
produced many champions there are
scores cl tennis lovers who have never
been able to see them play (luring the
afternoon owing to office engage
ments.
A half dozen courts could easily be
laid out on the tremendous floor area
of the exposition auditorium. The
surrounding galleries are capable of
accommodating thousands of spectat
ors.
Of the 1,100 students of the Oregon
Agricultural College virtually 80 per
cent are now engaged in some form
of athletic sport. Football, wrestling,
soccer, fall baseball and track and
field events all have their advocates.
Football is drawing 5.1 per cent; 7
per cent are engaged in field events;
3 per cent have taken up wrestling;
10.9 per cent are playing soccer; 12.6
per cent play fall baseball; cross
country running has 28.9 per cent; and
16.2 per cent work in the gymnasium.
This percentage is in excess of the
figures given out last year by Prince
ton university, which was considered
to have the greatest percentage of ac
tive athletes of the eastern universi
ties.
Dr. A. D. Browne, who Is in charge
of the athletics at the Oregon Agrt
cultural College, in speaking of the
intermural system, says:
"The main idea in our plan is tc
have a graduated system. First wt
have the Individuals, then the organi
zations, next the interclass division
and as the complement and result ol
the preceding classes we have th(
group of men who are engaged in in
tercollegiate competition.

teams from the few usually competent
men is all wrong. It Is poor education
al policy and worse from an athletic
viewpoint. It means working from the
top down, rather than from the bot
tom up.
"No college can be consistently suc
cessful in athletics that has not a
large body of trained men from which
to draw.”
Southern California has arranged
for winter baseball. There will be a
fourteen club circuit composed of the
best semi-professional organizations of
the south.
The fourteen teams composing the
new league are: Riverside, Santa
Barbara, San Diego, Fullerton, San
Pedro, Pasadena, San Diego fire de
partment, Sherman, Pacific Electrics,
Los Angeles fire department, Univer
sal City, Anheuser-Busch, Southern
i’acifics and Los Angeles White Sox.
It is said the lineups will include
many of the players of the Pacific ^
coast league as well as major league
members. This will be the first at
tempt made to stage regular winter
league baseball in five years.
A girls’ basketball league has been
formed in Denver, and a schedule of
games which began November 3 and
tending to February 23 adopted.
The organization is known as the
Queen City Basketball League.

Advertising
Surely
Tays.
By BREEN.
The biggest business
enterprises in this coun
try were built upon ad
vertising. None will
deny that. Newspaper
advertising is the most
potent of all. The money
that is spent annually in
the newspapers of the j
United States is enor
mous.
Enormous as it is, the
return is tenfold. And
yet one occasionally will
find some self sufficient
business man who will
declare he doesn’t need
advertising.
Every man in every
business needs advertis
ing. Some need it more
than others. It is non
sense to say that a cer
tain article sells itself.

Keep Kour
Name ‘Before
The Public.
By BREEN.
Don’t suffer from ego.
You may think that
everybody in town knows
where you are located
and what you have to
offer. Don t make this
grievous mistake.
The public is fickle.
The nubl c is forgetful.
It needs to be continually
reminded where you are
and what you are doing.
If you don’t let it know
through the columns of
a newspaper it soon will
transfer its trade.
Don’t think your busi
ness “so well estab
lished’’ it doesn’t need
advertising. New York’s
biggest bank seeks ad
vertising. It probably is
as “well established" as
most enterprises.

Don 1 Be a
Calamity
Hozvler.
By BREEN.
If business is a bit
poor don’t cry that the
country is going to the
bowwows. Things will
come out all r'ight.
When business life is at
a low ebb newspaper
advertising will help sus
tain it. When the finan
cial and business de
pression was at its height
a Pacific coast merchant
spent $ 100,000 in a
newspaper ad. campaign.
The results more than
justified his optimism.
The Wall street
maxim is, “Buy when
everybody is selling; sell
when everybody is buy
ing." If one wants to
buy or sell anything he
consults the newspapers.
