Fighting Tuna Lures Anglers To Maritimes By IRVING WHYNOT (Canadian Press Staff Writer) Halifax, Sept. 17--(OP)--An un- official "Battle of the Atlantic" is being waged off the Nova Scotian coastline as deep-sea anglers match strength and experience against the Sinning and fighting spirit of the glant bluefin . Big-game professional sportsmen have always regarded the tuna fleld as their own, one in which ocoa= sional catches by feminine and ade olescent anglers were cast aside as "lucky strikes." This seaon, how- ever, they have become acutely aware of the presence of the new- comers who are sharing the t- light with remarkable, sometimes record-breaking, takes, Old time Bluenose guides shook their heads in amazement when 18-year-old Pat Brodeur of Mont real hooked and landed a Ta0-pound bluefin afetr a 2% hour fight. As far as can be determined, the young has established a world's record for his age. Patsy Duffy, a 15-year-old New York miss, hooked one of the une der-sea fighters but lost him after "playing" him for 90 minutes, For records, Mrs. John Randolph of Ohio, Conn, claimed the women's top spot ty landing an 800-pounder after 1% hour fight, Also a record breaker is Mrs, John Manning of Los Angeles, Calif, who set a new 30-thread world mark when she boated a 783-pound bluefin in 30 minutes, one of the fastest times ever recorded for landing a bluefin of more than 700 pounds, In Nova Sootia the his 8 goes back to 187 omas Pattilo caught several glants, then known as albacore and horse mackerel.

Laurie Mitchell, The late Zane Grey, famous American author, came to Nova Scotia attracted by Mitchell's efforts and after considerable fishing landed a 758-pound tuna to capture the world's record. It remained the top catch until 1938 when Mitchell landed a larger tuna across the Atlantic in the North Sea but this again was brok- en by Thomas Howell who landed a 0586-pounder off Liverpool, NS. in 15m, This record still is un- The fh run in great size off the SAR ele NO MORE FLOOR WAXING!

CANADA'S NATIONAL AIR SERVICE ring--easily but from that moment on the angler is in for a fight. Their characteristic battle is a series of long dives, each ending near the surface and promptly followed by a powerful dive to the depths from ' which they must be urged by skil- ful "pumping." As a general rule the best fishing months are July, August and Sep- tember but they remain fairly plentiful in October and have been taken as late as November. Their movements follow closely the movements of herring and mackerel, their chief food. THE TIMES-GAZETTE Tuesday, September 24, 1946 13 ORTSY LLACIES "/ MARGERY MILLER Contrary to popular opinion, many of our greatest boxers failed to win even half of their profes- sional bouts. For many years it was customary fighters to engage in a lot of 'no decision" bouts. In such in- ces, no official decisions were ered when matches went the scheduld distance. ong knock- out could win for a fighter. Of course when a boxer outfought his opponent he was awarded a "news- paper" decision--that is, the praise of the press, But there was nothing official about that, Jack Britton, as the result of the no-decision rule, won officially only 90 fights out of the 283 he fought. Yet Britton was one of ilie greatest welterweight champions of all time, Jack, Blackburn, late trainer of Joe Louis, who held his own with such men as Sam Langford and Joe Gans, won only 38 of the 92 bouts he had. A horse doesn't always have to run in order to win a race, Still possible in turfdom is the walk-over. When all entries hy. a stakes race except one are with- drawn, the remaining horse may Although walk-overs now are very rare, some well-known thor- oughbreds have won by means of them. Aniong these is Whirlaway, world's. champion money . winner. Whirlaway walked to victory in the Pimlico Special, Oct, 28, 19042, The "race" was well worth the exercise, being valued at $10,000. Although few people are aware of the fact, cock fighting, which is re- garded 'by many as a very minor sport, financially speaking, offers prize money comparable to that given to winners: of our richest Horse races, and attracts very large bets. Owners of cocks which triumph in derbies or tournaments may win as much as $100,000. The tradition of high stakes in cock fighting goes back to early times. At the turn of the century a Caroline rooster call- ed the Red Cuban Jaybird won $10,000 for a single battle in Mexico, Bettors. on cock fights would sneer at the $2 bets made by the walk around the course of the, event, thus assuring himself victory. majority of horse race fans.
