Owing to the lightress of the tackle, the catch was one of the most remarkable ever made in those waters. Another local angler also distin- guished himself. When Arthur A.

Only one larger fish has been caught this year, one which weighed 43 pounds, on July 29. b SETTLE an argument,” writes one of dur Orange, Va., readers, “please give the correct name for big fish being caught in Tidewater, Va. and the bay. Some call them bonito, others cabio. The Florida fishermen in our community claim they are not real bonito but cabio, and our moun- tain folk say the Tidewater folk call them bonito. Would appreciate an answer in your column.” The real name of these fish is the cabio, otherwise called black bonito. ‘They range from New Jersey to Brazil and are not common in any portion of its range.

His first match today | is against Rufus King of Denver, Colo., whom Lawson should demolish | by a lopsided score. Roger Peacock, who should know all about it, claims this golf course is one of the easiest he ever has seen for & big tournament. “Why. they have a half dozen little drive and pitch holes here which you can reach with a wallop and a mashie niblick or an 8 iron,” he says. “It's pie for a fellow who can keep the ball straight and putt fairly well.” Roger had played his last three| rounds before today in 76, 71 and 72. A few rounds like that and he will have people asking who the Peacock boy is and why they never heard of him before. He is all set for this tournament and can go places. Voigt Draws Bye.

Among those who drew byes is George J. Voigt, veteran star and former Capital ace, who is hot for this tourna- ment if his practice rounds are any indication. George shot a 70 yester- day. Fred Mackay, well-known Rich- mond golfer and president of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, is here looking over Bobby Riegel, his protege from Richmond.
