Holds Record The world record largemouth 22 pounds four ounces was caught in Georgia in 1932 the year of top smallmouth It is an unusual season in Florida that a largemouth in the neighborhood of 20 pounds fails to be entered In one of the many contests There are two unusually large gnd extraordinarily fine large-mouth lakes in Florida One is Lake Apopka in Orange County The other the largest lake in the state Okeechobee which spreads through five counties in the southern part of the state The latter is my favorite fishing hole and where some grand old mossbacks have tied onto my lures It is not uncommon for one or more eight to 10-pounders to come from this lake every fishing day of the winter season with scores ranging from five to eight pounds There are dozens of fine bass streams My choice of these is the Kissimmee River that flows from the Kissimmee lakes into Lake Ok chobee Rally Starts Yanks oil Win Trail Americans Triumph by 8-to-4 Score at Royal and Ancient ST ANDREWS Scotland May £remingly inspired by the magnificent play of Marvin (Bud) Ward America's Walker Cup team summoned an amazing burst of golf after lunch today to sweep to victory in six out of eight singles matches against Britain's leading amateurs and regain by a final score of 8 to 4 the coveted team trophy which has reposed in the Royal and Ancient dub house here since 1938 Up to the time that Ward the Spokane Wash veteran set forth with fire in his eyes the Ameri cans had been locked in a grim hand-to-hand struggle that gave no hi fit of the ultimate victor After Ward down three holes at the end of the morning round rame back to rend his opponent Leonard Crawley by 5 and 3 his teammates turned the things into rout When the dust finally settled five the famous "old only Ted Bishop and Fred Kammer Jr of the American side had failed to rack up victories Smiley Quick National Public Links champion had slaughtered Jimmie Wilson of Scotland by 8 and 6 the most one-sided margin and the big cup was on its way back to America The final count of 8 to 4 in eluded the two victories scored by each team in the Scotch foursomes yesterday At noon today those two points on the British side loomed large it looked as though they might enable the defenders to gain at least a tie in which ease they would have kept the cup Soon after the last match was over Roger Wehtered former British Walker Cup star stood on the west terrace of the Royal and Ancient and formally handed over the huge trophy to Francia Ouimet non-playing captain of the Americans The victory was the 10th for the United Statea in the 11 times the matches have been contested The British won for the first time in 1938 but due to the war were not able to defend it until this year Roberts Hurls Brownie Win KNOX

It's too much for me To those who fish and hunt along with the converts the fiscal year begins with the opening of the fishing season the chase of the white tail or the flight of the first southbound flock of ducks and geese Along about this time I am usually found chasing Atlantic salmon down to ice that is flowing from eastern Canadian streams out into the sea That or slinging flies or nymphs at some recalcitrant square-tail in the Lauren tides Adirondacks or some equally well-advertised brook frout water Another outlet is meeting the silver kings the tarpon somewhere along the line between Boca Grande Pass and Panama When Business Interferes In the spring summer and fall grow furtive and restless Honest toil irks me I see brook trout black bass and muskies in my dreams I squander time and money in their pursuit By the time the fishing season ends I begin to chase sparrows and meadowlarks and bark at rabbit tracks After a spring and summer with an assortment of fins 1 am ready to

fishermen are inclined to believe bass fishing inlliiil the south where the predominant member is the large-mouth fails in its comparison with those same fins taken from northern waters Such is not the case Florida for instance with its thousands of lakes has been grossly misrepresented Florida lakes and streams offer better large mouth fishing than the waters of any other state Fish run more to size The waters are in no sense misasmatic and from experience I know the fish fight with the same unrestrained vim1 as they do in waters of the north-: ern states and Canada II Florida waters are not
