FOREST AND STREAM 
[Sept, io, 1910. 
rule allowed a man to make and sell all the rods 
or angling devices he wished so long as he was 
engaged in a more important business as a means 
of his livelihood. It can be easily seen what dis¬ 
satisfaction the interpretation of this clause 7 
occasioned. 
At the recent annual business meeting of the 
National Association of Scientific Angling Clubs, 
the matter of changing this obnoxious rule be¬ 
came the subject of most importance. It was 
unanimously agreed that commercialism was un¬ 
desirable in tournament casting, and that the 
•existing rule relating to professionalism be 
changed by removing clause 7 in its entirety and 
substituting the following: 
"Anyone engaged in the manufacture or sale of 
fishing tackle who promotes his commercial or 
business interests or those of his employer 
through his abilities in or in connection with 
tournament casting to promote the sale of his 
or his employer’s wares, or in any other way 
links commercialism with the sport of tourna¬ 
ment casting. 
“Anyone violating the spirit of Cause 7 shall 
be deemed guilty of conduct unbecoming a gen¬ 
tleman or sportsman and shall be barred from 
participation in any tournament.” 
Clause 8. The committee reserves the right 
to refuse or reject any entry or entries. 
The change from the old rule to the new re¬ 
sulted in much good feeling and will without 
doubt be instrumental in building up the Na¬ 
tional Association both in affiliated clubs and in¬ 
dividual members. R- J- H.

♦Re-entries. fVisitors. 
The accuracy bait event, from the standpoint 
of high scores, was perhaps the most successful 
one of the season, twenty-six out of thirty-three 
entries and re-entries being above 98 per cent. 
E. K. Pierson’s 99.7 per cent in the quarter-ounce 
accuracy equals our club and exceeds the national 
record, while L. E. De Garmo’s 143 3/5 feet in 
the quarter distance slightly exceeds our club 
record. Attention is also called to N. C. Heston’s 
longest single cast of 163 feet 8 inches, which 
establishes a new club record, and exceeds the 
longest single cast in the recent tournament. 
In the recent tournament, our club won the 
“N. A. S. A. C.” pennant with 30 points to our 
credit. In the “all-round,” W. H. Ball and L. E. 
De Garmo won the first and second cups, re¬ 
spectively, while Mr. Ball further added to our 
club’s laurels by “smashing” the record in the 
salmon fly event. 
The secretary feels it no less a duty than a 
pleasure to refer to the favorable comment made 
with regard to the manner in which Capt. 
Nicholson has conducted recent events. His 
promptness in running off events, as well as his 
courteous treatment of all members has elicited 
praise of which he is deserving. 
The team contest, the second club (cup) con¬ 
test of the season with the Chicago Fly-Casting 
Club, will in all probability be held on Sept. 11 
(9:30 a. M.), at Garfield Park.

Bait-Casting in Tennessee. 
At the Tennessee State Fair, which will be 
held in Nashville, Sept. 19-24. a bait-casting con¬ 
test will be one of the features. National As¬ 
sociation rules will govern.

Wind generally northeast during contest, but 
puffy crosswinds interfered with accurate cast¬

This was the last of our regular scheduled con¬ 
tests. There were fifteen who completed their 
scores in bait events and six in the fly. That is 
an increase of two in each event over last year. 
At the meeting held at the Refectory after the 
contest, it was decided by unanimous vote to use 
the money that is returned by the national 
tournament committee to purchase two or three 
fly rods, which shall be club property and be 
kept at the grounds; so that any member may 
feel free to use them at any time. Should this 
not meet with the approval of any one not 
present at that meeting, we will send him a check 
for his pro rata share.
