Next Thursday, September l, marks
the opening of the oyster season of
1901 in Maryland.
Whether or not the old saying in
the months without the r oysters

do with the season opening September
is regarded as open to debate. 1t
is fact, however, that from the end
of April to the beginning of Septem-
Der the demand for these bivalves is
light in this city.
All dealers shut u9 shop during

business until the middle of Septem-

tributaries of the Chesapeake, from
Sandy Point to Cedar Point men who
get their living from the waters are
engaged in overhauling boats and
oyster taking paraphrenalia. Early
next Thursday morning they will
make. their way to the oyster beds
along the Chesapeake.

such inroads into the oyster supply
that the lawmakers limited the
time for dredging and longing, so as
to give the oyster in the water bet

The good effect of this policy is
now seen. The supply of oysters in
the past two seasons has been plen-
tiful and exceptionally fine in quail

reach this city this season will come
from private beds, and is expected to
reach here Thursday. Before the
end of the week, unless the weather
is exceptionally warm, a half dozen

A MENACE TO HEALTH
Stagnant Pool At EastpOrt--A Horrible
Oder

Typhoid germs Turk in the pool of
stagnant water that stands in pud-
die day in and day out, in front of
the residence at Eastport two doors
above Basil's store. The water is
slop water, apparently, that comes
from the house, and it emits a hor-
rible odor even to those who pass in
teams.
There should be some effort made
to correct and avoid this, as it is a
menace to health. The attention of
the County Health Officer has been
called to the matter. and some action
must be taken for better system of
drainage.

KAUFMAN TRAINS
FOR BIG FIGHT
viii Finish Up Work in Balti-
more for Match With
Kubiac.

BALTIMORE, Sept 1s.--Al kauf-
man, aspirant for Jack Johnson's
heavyweight title, is TO come to this
city TO complete his training for his
coming big match with Al Kubiac.
the Michigan giant, before the Armory
Athletic Club. at Aibaugh's Theater.
At the request of Billy Delaney, Man
ager Barrett, who will handle the con-
test, Is now busily engaged In secur-
ing suitable quarters for the Western
pugilist, who is strongly touted as the
probable successor of johnson. just
now kaufman is at the most critical
stage OF his career in the roped arena.
He is taking a serious chance with
kubiac, whose sole ambition is to get
on an argument with Johnson for the
heavyweight title.
Delaney. who is now handling Kauf-
man. is one of the wisest men in pugi-
lism. He is known as the maker of
heavyweight champions 1t was he
who brought Jeffries out and who
was behind Johnson when he defend
ed the title against the -boiiermaker
in the memorable battle at Reno. New.
on the afternoon of July 4. Pat O'Con-
nor. the well known Washington sport
ing man. who will head big dele
cation OF capital city sports, who will
come over to see the match. and who
witnessed the Jeffries-J ohnson mill, re-
Gently said that Delaney had been Of
fered $4,000 to second JefIries against
Johnson. but being sore at the white
man he stuck to the colored man
and brought him out of the ring with
the undisputed heavyweight title at
tached to his name. 1t was also said
that the announcement that Delaney
would be behind johnson helped TO
bring on Jeffries' physical collapse.
Ii Is most probable that kaufman
will train near the Pimlico rack track
for the Kubiac match. as 1t Is a great
place for him TO do his road work.
Fred Ford, with whom Kubiac had a
falling out, is again with the Michigan
terror and Is supervising his training
at Merchantsyiile, Pa.

ORGANIZE BOWLING LEAGUE
AMONG BIG CITIES or EAST

NEW YORK, Sept. Jeff present
plans are carried out bowling league
will soon be formed among the big
cities of the East.
In the past there -has been consider
able objectioa to the professional In
ten pin circles. However, recent de-
velopments in the game seem TO indi-
cate that the time IL ripe for just such
an organization. The league viii prob
ably include New York, Brooklyn. New
ark. Philadelphia, Baltimore. Albany,
Rochester and Buffalo. There is also
a probability that Boston. for the first
time in bowling history. will be rep
resented.
With promoter holding tho exclu-
sive franchise in this city and having
in his employ bowler with a reputa-
ton, It is figured that professional
bowling might be made interesting
not only from the spectacular stand
point. but from the financial.
