Never has there been such an array of big bass entries as the contest produced this year. Every division of bass largemouth, small-mouth, Kentucky and even rock produced sizable entries. Largest was that of J. P. Ellis of Nashville, one of the few capital city anglers, to take a top prize in The Tennessean contest.

Ellis hooked a 10-pounder on a live minnow at Cunningham's lake near Clarksville last summer. Tops in the largemouth division with artificial bait was Dr. Robert L. Hortoa of Dickson with a 9 pound, 6 ounce catch at Reelfoot. Top catch of the contest, probably, was the 8 pound, 4 ounce smallmouth entered by Judge John Holladay of Cookeville, taken at Dale Hollow last month.

On the same day Frank Howard of McMinnville captured first place in the smallmouth division for live bait, hooking a 7 pound, 9 ounce beauty. First place in the Kentucky bass division was taken by A.

UP)- Man O' War, America's foremost thoroughbred, died of a heart attack yesterday.

Death came to the big red 30-year-old stallion yesterday afternoon In his stall at the Faraway farm of his owner, Samuel D. Riddle of Lexington and Philadelphia.

His late groom, Will Harbut, who was ever near the plutocrat of the pastures for 15 years, described him as the "mostest hoss in the world." But Harbut's illness broke up the "friendship" more than a year ago and a few weeks ago the groom preceded him in death, the victim of a stroke.
