STURGEON FISHING
INDUSTRY. .REVV|NG
Catches in River Near Delaware
City Indicate Good Pros
poets for the Season.

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Delaware City. April 26.-SturEeon
fishermen claim that all indications
noint to a revival OF this fishing indus
try on the Delaware river. after ii had
been thought that this fish had become
extinct. Twenty years ago the stur-
eeon fishing industry was the principal
vocation of people Of this place. but
from that time the catch declined until
there We're some seasons when not n
single boat sought these fish on the
river or bay.
The result has been. according to the
fishermen. that a closed season has in
substance been in effect on the river
and this accounts for the return of the
fish In addition to this. the sturgeon
are also said 10 he sturder fish than
herring and shad and that this accounts
for their withstanding the effects of the
pollution of the river and bay. which
has practically made the herring and
shad extinct on the river.
Shad fishermen lave already been
making catches of the big sturgeon
and as many as three of the fish have
already been caught on a single day.
and il is very early for these fish To be
running. The indications are that there
will be more sturgeon fishermen out
this year than shad fishermen. This
Will really mark a new epoch on the
Delaware FOR il has been many years
since as many sturgeon fishermen OPP
Grated n the river as shad fishermen.
Another thing that has greatly en-
couraged local fisher1Ien. and in fact
all sturgeon fishermen on the Delaware.
is that a number of young sturgeon.
each weighing about four pounds. have
hcen caught within the last week from
the pound nets. according to reports
from Atlantic city. This is considered
very unusual by the fishermen and
they wonder whether il is an indication
that a comeback of this great foodfsh
can he expected. Most of the fishermen
arc of this opinion.
Fishermen of this place last year pre-
dlcted new era for sturgeon fishing.
Their predictions were fulfilled for
more FISH were caught last year than
in any single year since 1900. Ten and
fifteen of the fish were caught in a
single day last year. while one crew

eTalship will count heavily in the final analysis, and if Brodil can hold his men down to a 30-beat for the first two miles without allowing any rival to place open water between his shell and Columbia, the Blue and White should win the race.

DEMPSEY KAYOES
 LARRY WILLIAMS

Atlantic City, N. J., June 22-Selec- ton of Harry Ertle as referee of the worlds heavyweight championship contest between Jack Dempsey and Georges Carpenter, at Jersey City, July 2, is entirely satisfactory to Dempsey.
 The champion expressed this opin- ion today when he advised that Jos eph Cassidy. secretary of the New Jersey Boxing Commission, would of ficially announce the selection of Ertle before night. Dempsey. how ever, had not discussed the situation with Jack kearns, his manager. as Kearns had not returned from New York.
 Dempsey said he had full conf dence in any decision that Kearns made in regard to the choice of the third man in the ring.
 '+So it's ErtIe, is it " Dempsey said. Well, that's good enough for me if it suits B.earns. kearus does the managing and I try to do the fight ing. Any referee that is experienced is acceptable and I feel sure that Ertle is competent.
 '-I can truthfuIly say this, I hon estly do not care who is in there to referee. That's up to Kearns- It wouldn't make any difference to me if Descamps refereed. l think Car pentier feels the same way about the referee question as I do.'
 Divorce Suit Worries.
 Dempsey is more concerned over the report that he has been named as correspondent in divorce suit at Pawhuska, Okla, than he is over the referee controversy. Today he in structed his attorney, Ray J. Cannon, of Milwaukee, to investigate and start suit for libel if necessary against F. R. Boulanger, who, in his petition for a divorce, named Dempsey. Can non tetegraphed for a certified copy of the complaint to determine if the charges were the same as reported in press dispatches.
 Dempsey is no home-wrecker and this thing has upset him. Cannon said He doesn't even know any body in Pawhuska and never has written to anybody there"
 Larry Williams Kaoyed.
 There will be some real glove fight ing at Dempsey's camp from now on until the end of the training. The champion gave indications of this yesterday when he knocked out Lar ry Williams, whc. heretofore. has managed to sssimilate all of the champions punches. Dempsey tore into Williams savagely, flooring him in the first minute of their workout recovered from the effects of the

Louis Bogash and his manager, Joe Smith, are not over-enthusiastic over the possibility of a match with Jack Delaney, the local middleweigh both entertaining doubts that such a bout would prove a turing bait to fight fans.
 Bogash, however, is willing to take on Delaney. he stated, yesterday, but he must be guaranteed $2.5O0. With the Bartfield- -Bogash show resulting in a financial loss on Monday night, no such guarantee is likely to be forthcoming from local promoters.

 More Carpenter Assistants.
 Manhasset, N Y, June 22-Mys- terlous things occurred this morning at Georges Carpenters training ca mp and when an explanation was requested the answer came in whisper:
 ''Shhh! It's a secret and We cannot tell"
 About s o'clock a big limousine stopped at the front gate and the chauffeur hailed Trainer Wilson and the latter came down and opened the gate The machine pulled inside and To conceal their identity they pulled their coat collars about their faces and ran into the residence.
 A few early birds hung over the fence and waited and watched. Soon they saw four men clad in bath robes leave the back door and hasten behind the barn where Georges does his training.
 Noises like the tattoo of fists upon a punching bag could be heard for time, then there was silence for 2o minutes First one and then another iof the robed fighters filed into the .h ouse. The last appeared to be the challenger himself. Trainer Wilson followed them, carrying several pairs sof boxing gloves.
 Another half hour and the three heavyweights, still hiding their faces. ientered the car and were whisked away.
