Peterson, city engineer of Michigan City, leads one to believe he is the champion black bass catcher of the state for the season of 1928, And according to the word from, him there is plenty of competition in the Calumet region, as he estimates there are about as many anglers in that region as there, are fish. Peterson's record for last season on fish landed, most of which were returned to the water, was 108 large mouth black bass, all taken within the confines of Laporte county. But the most pleasing fact to the mind of Tom Carter, of this city, is that 101 of the fish were taken on the Diamond Debs HEINIE Houston, winners of the Texas pen nant last year and 1928 champions of Dixie, bad two outstanding play ers, one was ruener bui Haiianan and the other was Shortstop Heinle ecnuDie.
