BIG-GAME FISH
AUSTRALIAN WATERS POSSIBLE TRIAL FROM DARWIN If Mr. C. Alma Baker, rubber planter and big-game fisherman, can persuade Mr. Zane Grey, the American author and noted fisherman, says a message from Darwin, the pair may test the potentialities of Australian waters from that port. Mr. Alma Baker is bound for New Zealand, where he expects to meet Mr. Zane Grey. He was a noted polo player, and no\v has tin and rubber interests in the Federated Malay States. Sir. Baker states that the reason for the reputed lack of big-game fish in Australian waters, such as the mako shark and swordfish, is that the water is too warm. Big fish are never found in tropical waters, because they contain a very limited food supply.
