BATTING LIST By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, August 3.—An all-time record for leading the American As- sociation batting procession has been established by Bennie Cooke, the hard- clout! St. Paul outfielder. X Unofficial averages show Cooke at the top of the batting marathon for the tenth straight week with an ave- rage of .378, or 18 points better than his nearest rival, Max Rosenfeld of Toledo, who batted better than .500 to jump from eleventh place to second during the past week. Steady hitting has brought Cooke to the top, During the first week of the n he averaged .300, but since that time he has increased his mark. he has been above the 400 mark and during the past week climbed from .372 to .378. His hits have counted, too, as he leads the circuit in runs batted in, 84 with his smashes. Most of his rivals lost ground during the k. The other leaders be- sides Columbus, .344; Branom, Loulville. .343; Tucker, Kansas City, .342; Rogell, St. Paul, .341; E. Smith, Minneapolis, .338; Warner Toledo, .337, and Grigsby, Kansas City, .335. “Bubbles” Hargrave, St. Paul pilot, has an average of .386, but is not recognized as the leader because he has been at bat 181 times as compared to Cooke's 320 attempts. Archie Campbel] of St. Paul held his leadership in pitching during the week by winning another game and buomns his season’s mark to eight won an none lost. Nelson of Kansas City ranks second, with 12 won and two lost. St. Paul displaced Columbus as leader in team batting during the week, increasing its average to three points to .304, while the Senators gained one point and dropped to second with a .303 mark.

By the game wardens of | both States making some trips together | along the river, a person fishing would necessarily have to have a license from | one State or the other. This agreement would not give Maryland wardens au- thority to arrest any person in West | | Virginia nor would it give West Vir- | | ginla wardens the right to arrest any | person in Marylad; but it would neces- | | sitate a person fishing holding a license | from the State in which he was actually | located while fishing. Our interpretation of the new ruling +is that, & West Virginian is allowed to | fish from his own shore in the Potomac | | River without having a Maryland | license, but if he goes out on the river | in a boat, he must have his own State | | license and also a Maryland license. The conference was attended by E. | Lee Le Compte. State game warden of | Maryland; H. B. Cornwell. chief game protector of West Virginia; H. S. Kol- mer, secretary of State Game Depart- | ment of Maryland. and Richard S.| | Browning, deputy warden of Allegany | County. The three counties of West Virginia | in which the ruling is of particular in- | terest, are Morgan, Berkeley and Jeffer- | son. The Maryland counties involved are Washington and Allegany. | The Potomac yesterday had cleared | ! and was in good condition for the small | | bass anglers.

Firefly, James H. MacRafferty cc;rmtnl:mmng,y is on cruise to Breton Bay and lower river. The fishing and crabbing there is all that any one could wish. ‘While anchored in Mattawoman last Sunday night we were fortunate to en- counter Horace Baxter, who, with his wife and boys, has been cruising the Jower Potomac, Nanjemoy, Machodoc, Yeocomico Rivers and Breton Bay being some of the points visited. He spoke in glowing terms of the behavior of his boat, the Amycita, on the trip and re- Jated running into scme of the famous southeast “chop” of the lower river, the rough water off Ragged Point furnish- ing plenty of thrills There is much amusement boating circles over the “ne tan” fad.

At many points we find old abandoned docks, pilings and fish stakes, ancient rotting vessels and scows, the debris from which is a serious ‘menace to navigation. ] Opposite Hains Point, for example. there is an unsightly mfl of old &mon un- Guess I'll| pile | sub-station KLOTZBACH. | clutter up the highways with the debrid of their business, why should they be permitted the freedom of the river im this respect? | Two supposedly surface sewers oper | into the channel, the odors ‘arising therefrom are ample proof of matter other than surface water being dise charged. Small matters, one may say, but, witness the fatc of some of our Midwestern streams that through inate tention and neglect have become noth< ing more than open sewers to carry off the wastes of cities and manufacturing plants, sans fish, sans beauty, sans boatmen! Now that the highways are becoming more and more crowded the interest of the public is turning more and more to | the water and water sports, and cities | all over the country are making plans and provision for the boom in boating that has arrived. Here in Washington the old order is proving inadequate, and, using other cities as yardsticks, the facilities for the prospective as well as present boat owner are practically nil. The coming Winter will find many boats either frozen-in in the anchore age or compelled to lie banging toe | gether in old slips and piers like de= | commissioned warships in & navy yard; | the detriment of planking and paint, and the disgust of the owners. ‘This condition coud be remedied b; | the placing of berths along the wall | in Potomac Park, temporary pilings might be driven at small cost that | would suffice until some better arrange- ment might be made.

The Gravelly Point plan has many, objectionable features, among them be= ing the distance from the city, too close to the proposed airport, nearness to a cinder-spouting railroad and the | fact that a bridge now unable to take | care of present traffic must be crossed in order to reach it. Some have voiced the objection that commercial expansion would eventually force all the yachts from the Wash- | ington Channel. It is hoped that any future commercial expansion will be in another part of the river, the chane nel is too small for anything of this nature—how ridiculous to construct a beautiful park on one side, on the other a motley assortment of brick wharves, steamer landin etc. A curious wedding. the Beast.

At present the 2-cent tax collected on gasoline is rebated the buyer that uses it in his boat—if he has time and patience to collect it. Were this tax used in the improvement of the harbor and not rebated we are sure that no boat owner in the vicinity would rajse an objection. . g The cost of fonstruction and upkeep would soon be taken up by the remtal from these slips, and later, as the moneys mounted up, these temporary pilings could be replaced by more last- ing and approximate structures of con- crete or stone. Allotments of berths might be made to the clubs that de- sired them, the-clubhouse, located in the park available to all using the basin. | One club, rather than the many now located here, with unity of action and control and the large membership pos- sible under these circumstances, could work wonders in the improvement .of our local waters, be a power in fish and Fopertant part of the soriel and spare. im| o B ing life of the community.
