made one cast which fell out of bounds. It was 
measured as accurately as possible, although this 
was difficult, as the line passed over a tree, and 
credit for 298 feet was given him, but the cast 
was not counted. 
American casters are eager to know how the 
British casts for distance are scored. Here a 
line is drawn at right angles to the center line 
of the court, and when this line intersects the 
weight where it lies, the distance of the cast is 
scored on the center line. Thus it will readily 
be seen that the distance from the scoring point 
to the point on the center line opposite the 
weight is less than if the distance direct from 
scoring point to weight were measured. For 
example, in Mr. Rice’s cast of 293 feet, if the 
tape line marking the center of court had been 
moved over to the weight, the distance would 
have exceeded the figures allowed by the judges. 
The Newark Protest. 
Newark, N. J., Aug. 6 . — Editor Forest and 
Stream: Whereas, in 1909, the Newark Bait- 
and Fly-Casting Club of Newark, N. J., duly 
notified the officers of the National Association 
of Scientific Angling Clubs of its intention to 
offer at the annual meeting an amendment to 
the constitution of the N. A. S. A. C. repealing 
Clause 7 of Section 5 of Article 2, which de¬ 
fined a “professional” as “one who is engaged 
in the manufacture or sale of fishing tackle” 
(thus barring many sportsmen and gentlemen 
of the highest type from participating in the 
National tournaments) and to substitute a clause 
fairer, broader and more sportsmanlike in its 
scope; and, 
Whereas, Owing to a lack of a quorum in 
1909, said proposed amendment of Clause 7 of 
Section 5 of Article 2 was not acted upon; and. 
Whereas, Said Clause 7 was repealed and 
amended at the 1910 annual meeting in Chicago, 
and a new clause designed to permit such gentle¬ 
men under proper restrictions to cast in National 
tournaments was adopted, reading as follows: 
Clause 7: “Anyone engaged in the manufac¬ 
ture or sale of fishing tackle (who promotes his 
commercial or business interests or those of his 
employer through his abilities in or connection 
with tournament casting, or who advertises his 
abilities in or connection with tournament cast¬ 
ing, or in any other way links commercialism 
with the sport of tournament casting). 
Clause 8: “Anyone violating the spirit of 
Clause 7 shall be deemed guilty of conduct un¬ 
becoming a gentleman or sportsman, and shall 
be barred from participation in any tourna¬ 
ment” ; and, 
Whereas, The Anglers’ Club of Milwaukee has 
refused to proceed with its arrangements for 
holding the annual tournament at Milwaukee, 
owing to the president of the National Associa¬ 
tion having ruled in effect that the new Clause 
7 and the penalty for its violations, provided 
for in Clause 8, mean exactly the same as the 
original Clause 7 before its amendment, which 
defined a “professional” as follows: “One who 
is engaged in the manufacture or sale of fishing 
tackle” (and as such was debarred from casting 
in a National tournament, no matter whether he 
conducted himself as a gentleman and a sports¬ 
man or whether he was “guilty of conduct un¬ 
becoming a gentleman or sportsman,” by abus¬ 
ing the occasion and perniciously advertising his 
wares. Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That this club unanimously endorses 
the action taken by the Anglers’ Club of Mil¬ 
waukee and protests against the high-handed 
rule-or-ruin and utterly untenable ruling of the 
president of the National Association as being 
inimical to the best interests of the association 
and calculated to disrupt it. Be it further 
Resolved, That the secretary be instructed to 
send a copy of this resolution to the secretary 
of the National Association, the Anglers’ Club 
of Milwaukee, to each of the affiliated clubs and 
to the sportsmen’s magazines.

change second-hand books may ask for what they need, 
or offer what they have.
