It all came about in this manner. Several weeks ago a local expedition sailed out of Southport to the Cape Fear Shoals to check up on rumors that rip-roaring gamesters of the deep were putting on the feed bag here where the warm currents of the gulf stream serve up tons of small fish as delicious bait. Although the boat was overcrowded and the | men inexperienced in fishing for heavyweights, the ) real mistake lay in the fact i that the tackle carried along was made for thirty-five pound lightweights. Results .... a strike! Glory a-boring! And presto, a parted line and a prize fish flagging good-bye. Far from being daunted, the party of fishermen sail- | J ST.

Attracting est To Southport ed into the thick of the fray, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away, they j showed for their efforts 24 barracudas, half a dozen amberjack, seven dolphin, and ! pounds and pounds of king mackerel and bonito. Here is a paradoxical thing about the venture, however: the fishermen were not as enthusiastic about the catch as they were about the fish that got away. This is a well-known failing of fishermen, but this time the facts were straight. Tuna, tarpon, and sailfish of full girth and length were hooked, but the 35-pound line couldn't take the punishment. To prove that this first expedition to the Cape Fear Shoals was not a fluke, a second boatload of fishermen intrigued by the exploits of the first sailed out and then back, bringing the same story of great schools of tro- j pical fish.

Trout Fishermen Have Fine Luck A catch of 225 large trout were brought in by a Siler City party Monday morning. They reported that they used up a full peck of shrimp and that the fish were biting better than ever when they were compelled to quit at noon owing to the lack of bait. The trip was made on the E. M. Lewis of Captain Hulan Watts, the partjr leaving at 7:30 o'clock and returning to port at 1:30 o'clock. The fishermen were Grady Buckner, T. C. Frazier, Jack Brook, Ed Dark and Bill Bestal. One of the party was put entirely out of commission I by seasickness after catching1 seven fish. Two others were bad-1 ly affected by the same trouble | and the party repoted that Mr. Buckner was the chief source of production of the huge catch. " P0R1 i A Good Comi .

Although the boys have been a distinct credit and a great advertising asset to the town as a result of their splendid playing ability, they have, heretofore, appeared on the court in uniforms that were far from proposing. They played in whatever they had, and sometimes it was little more than a bathing suit. This year, awaiting the beginning of active playing, the first step on the part of the team ar.d its friends will be to see that it is properly outfitted. The boys must have warm-up shirts and pants and regular playing suits. Such outfits are expected to total about $65.00, and towards this each member of the team is contributing $5.00. The balance must come from friends of the team, and it is suggested by the Southport Civic Club that contributions towards the purchase of these suits are in order from Southport citizens. They may be made directly to the team's treasurer, Robert Thompson. t; . .
