Winner, Loser Get Prizes | In Florida Angling Tourney AP Newsfeatures MIAMI, Fla.—There's can win a prize if you lose Bobdby Bauer. one fishing competition in which you It's the Metropolitan Miami tournament and more than 300,- 000 anglers are expected to participate. The $15,000 worth of prizes includes a tough luck trophy swarded by the Author Philip Wylie to the unfortunate fisherman with best hard luck story Among the more cherished awards are four perpetual trophies—for the heaviest sailfish. the longest sailfish, the heaviest white marlin and the heaviest jackfish. The 106-day tournament runs into April and is open to every- is no admission fee—and the eager school boy with you wicky STIFF.

Already entered are rod and reel experts from 44 states, trict of Columbia, Europe, Canada and South How do you win the tough luck trophy? the! Ameriac. { D | Well. Collins L. Carter, of Albion, Mich., got this award at the last tournament when a shark bit off the tail of a white marlin he was about to boat after an hour's struggle. The bite ws estimated at 13 pounds and the remainder of the fish weighed 107 pounds. The ultimate winner of the class scaled only 104 pounds, but mutilated fish are not eligible so Carter joined the tough luck group. The first tournament was held in 1936. The idea was started by « group of sportsmen-businessmen in Miami and Miami Beach who formed an association known as Anglers, Inc., to encourage port fishing in the metropolitan Miami area. All members donate teh services and refuse to accept prizes. The tournament committee say the rules are kept as simple as possible, All catches must be made unaided on rod and reel and must be weighed in at one of 53 official weighing stations. Thirty- one different species of fish may be entered. Just in case the avid angler needs encouragement the sommuttee points out that of 58 world records charted be- tween 1674 and 1947 no less than 20 of the top fish were tak- en in Florida waters. tell, By JACK DELANEY WAILS: .

A wahoo, the first caught since the start of the tournament, weighing forty pounds, appears to have a good chance of leading in its class, but you never can “uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,” at least until the’ tournament is over. Lime Promotion While it has no bearing on fishing, except for the fact that the question arase during a fish: dinner, we believe the matter should be given some thought. Reyce “Red” Powell, executive director of the Florida Jaycees, and ambassador of good-will for the Florida Citrus Industry, was served a piece of lemon with his fish dinner. All was _ forgiven that night, at the Jaycee ban- quet, when, with his broiled crawfish, Red was served lime, followed by lime pie for des- sert. Powell believes the best inter- ests of the state can be served by using, insofar as possible, Florida products, whether citrus or any other and that by doing this we all can contribute or t to Florida’s continued prosperity. | Sportsman’s Show « More than forty displays make up the exhibits at the Spor ‘tsman’s Show, now being held in Miami. Practically everything. pertaining to outdoor life was on display. .jDisplays by tackle manufactur- €rs, taxidermists, state and couf- ty exhibits, trailer dealers in fact practically anything you could name was there for the sportsman’s benefit. Outstanding from an entertain- ment standpoint were the junior’ skish tournaments and the plug- casting exhibition of Don Allen of South Bend Tackle. Allen who travels to all the Sportsmen shows in the country giving exhibitions for South Bend Tackle, was easily the out- standing event of the show. Allen casts with either or both hands. He can cast just as ac- curately using a rod in either hand as he can with one. The top attraction of his performance is casting with four rods simul- taneously, two in each hand, and making accurate casts. Allen is as good as they come, and the audience apparently was of the same opinion. Boulevard the Spot Moving the charter-boat docks to the boulevard was a very smart move on he part of the boatmen. The new arrange; ment is a drawing card for vi: tors to the city. Mere par! ne space is available for cars, and more people are down to see the boats come in with their catches. Sunday ,a Greyhound bus, on its way Lae stopped momen: tarily to allow passengers to gaze at a nice catch of fish that had been hung on one of the racks. It all makes for good adver- tising and constitutes a decided improvement in the Garrison Bight area. 2 SCALES: The first Wahoo to be entered in the Island City Fishing Tour- nament was made by Comman- der Kenneth J.
