raging, The Courant hesitated to publish this picture fearing an epidemic of
“fishing fever.” Pete Reymundo caught this 12-pound bass, which was 26 inches

Friday at three o’clock when the local sextet meets Coach Davie’s Limehill
squad at Limehill.
County Training School Win
and Lose: The victory march of the County Training School five was halted
momentarily Friday afternoon by the Lomax Hannon quintet of Greenville. The
CCTS boys playing a splendid defensive game were unable to get their eyes on
the basket. Augustus Brown, “Crip shot artist” of CCTS, was well covered and
had to be satisfied with only four points. Welch tallied the other four points
as the game ended 9-8 with CCTS on the short end of the score.
Leaving Greenville, the team
hurried to Georgiana, where they met and conquered a fast and flashy team by a
score of 15-11. The entire team played inspired basketball as they vowed not to
lose two games in one day.
