T0ADS AND CARP
BITTER ENEMIES,
SAYS PROFESSOR

One of the most ancient of fishing
yarns which has helped 10 put pisca-
tOrial stories in general under reproach
is that of the bitter enmity supposed to
exist between frogs and toads or the
one hand and carp on the other.
Long before the days OF Izaak Walton
gruesome tales were told OF conflicts
between these creatures, and the Com
pleat Angler himself was-derided for
stating that frogs attack carp by stick
ing fast to their heads"
The account given in Mature" by
Prof. Adrian J. Brown. of Birmingham
University, Of an attack by a toad on
a golden carp is all the more interest
ing, since it proves the truth Of what
has, hitherto been regarded by most
people as a 'nshy'' story.
He says: ION March % my son directed
my attention to a large golden earn
lying in shallow water near the edge of
a pond in my garden with frog or toad
apparently resting on it's head. The fish
appeared TO be very sluggish, and made
no attempt to escape from a landing net
with which it was easily brought to
shore.
ION examination it was found that the
head Of the fish was held tightly by a
medium-sized common toad. which had
obtained a very firm grasp by inserting
its fore limbs as far as the second. or
elbow, point~into the sockets of the eyes
OF the unfortunate fish. The ghoulish-
looking toad lay on The top Of the fsh's
head facing it's tail and with its hind
legs hanging in front Of the fish's mouth.
AT first the appearance OF the ewes OF
the fish led me to think that they had
been ruptured but closer examination
showed that they were merely displaced
and turned partially round owing to the
pressure eXerted by the intrusion of the
toad's limbs between the eyes and their
sockets.
"On carefully withdrawing the toad's
fore-limbs, which We're inserted to the
extent Of about one inch within the eve
sockets. the eyes returned to their nor
NAL position apparently uninjured. bur
during their displacement the fish must
have been quite blind.
mo effort of the fish could have rid
itself of the toad after it had once OBJ
tanned the remarkably firm grasp which
has been described, and it appears very
probable that the fish would have died
in short time"

DUGAN RIDING WELL
ON EASTERN TRACKS

NEW YORK, June Jockey NIiller's
admirers may not be willing TO admit X.
but that popular lad has a formidable
rival in the tiny California apprentice
boy, Eddie Dugan, who can ride as
light as eight-four pounds. is entitled
to FIVE pounds allowance in selling races
and who has shown judgment and per-
severance worthy of an older head.
Dugan is one OF four brothers, all of
whom have been jockeys. His older
brother w. Dugan. rode heavyweight
races last year for Barney Schneider
Eddie Dugan is under contract for the
next two years TO c. II. Durnell. and
that means that the boy will many a
time ride for John w. Gates big bets
Dugan has been seen in the saddle on
New York trucks only about four weeks
but already he has made z deep impress
sion. he being declared TO be as good
a boz to get away as is Miller. Horse
men say IL is the best possible thing for
racing If not only one, but at least halt
dozen competent rivals to Miller
should be developed, for they saw 1t IS
absurd that the turf should De depend-
