LOS ANGELES, Cal.. July 6. That Ad Wolgast and Joe Rivers would meet again, probably on Labor Day, ln the Vernon Arena and attempt one more to settle the question of superiority in the lightweight division, was practical ly decided upon today. 1 Both principals, their managers and Tom McCarey, manager of the club, were of one mind on this subject. All agreed that another meeting was im perative, all agreed to meet again, all agreed practically that Labor Day was the most logical date, and the question of finances alone separated them. The selection of a referee was not mentioned. Another meeting, several perhaps, will be held before the ar rangements are placed into articles of agreement, but the impression was left that It would be but a matter of a short time before the final stage had been reached and that the two great est lightweights now in the ring would certainly meet again. Wolgast maintained that he was not helped to, his feet by Referee Jaok Welch while Rivers lay on the floor being counted out and asserted that Rlver8 was knocked out and was glad to quit. v "He was not game; that lets him out," said the champion. Ad also said that his winnings, count ing in his 115,000 purse, and the bets he gathered, totaled close to $40,000. In accordance with the French minister of war's settled policy of reviving the mili tary spirit Id the ranks of the army as well ns among the general public, it has been decided to reintroduce the traditional 'Revetile" and "Lights Out" bugle calls, Trhirh were abolished a few years ago.

This volunteer work will not be con fined to members of the club. Anyone wishing a consignment of trout for his particular locality can send In bis ap plication to Dr. E. C. McFarland, whose office Is in the Bwetland building, and It will be given proper attention. The continued unsettled weather has worked a hardship on fishermen of all classes and but few good catches have been reported of late. Quite a number of the faithful went to the Upper Clack amas last week, some going without blankets, and all were thoroughly soaked before they got home. Dr. A. J. Brock and J. S.

The best fish of the past week, a bass weighing five and one-half pounds, was taken on one of these painted wooden lures. correspondence schools, but so far I haven't heard that any of them offer to teach fly casting by mail. It's one of those things that must be seen to be thoroughly understood. You can learn more ahout casting in half an hour un der the coaching of an experienced angler than ln reading all the works ever written on the subject There are a few points, however. which can be explained here, and which seem to cause considerable trouble to a good many fishermen. Perhaps the commonest mistake made by so many casters is ln swinging their rod too far behind on the back cast. In mak ing the back cast your object should be to keep the line as high as possible. This keeps the cast clear of rocks and brush, and allows the line to carry out better on the next forward throw. Therefore, it is well to remember the following rule: Tour line will always The advance guard of the automobile follow the direction given it By tne roa racln- contingent due in Portland for tip. li your tip snoots up in me air KI .i ti a.in or-. line and leader will attain a good high " .,..... , ... -. nositlon.

"I recall a striking instance of their application of it more than IS ears ago that was as unique as it was effective. method. We will suppose you have 30 feet of line hanging down stream. Start wour back cast, raising the rod with gradually increasing force, and ending with a decided snap as the line goes over your shoulders, but allow the rod to travel only a little beyond the perpendicular. Give the line plenty of time, and as soon as it straigntens out, send It forward with an easy, rolling motion. The back cast is a movement of increasing force, both rod and hand being raised to give the upward shoot, and It ends with almost a Jerk. The forward cast Is more of a pushing mo tlon, and should be smooth and steady. That's all there Is to ordinary fly casting. Files Make Difference. It's surprising sometimes how much difference a change of files will make.
