The upper river from the Little
Falls to the Big Falls, and thence
to Seneca. is reported to be furnish
ing excellent sport for the angler.
All parties fishing in the upper river
used smelt for bait. which at this
time of the year are very easy to
keep alive.
At Seneca the best fishing is re-
ported at Seneca dam and the rapids
below, between Seneca and the falls.
A local angler walked into a sport
ing goods store the other day and
asked If they had any bloodworms.
He said he had been fishing near
Sycamore Island and had landed sew
eral two-pound rockf1sh and wanted
to try the same place again this week.
1T was pointed out in this column
in local waters until late in the fall,
and from the above report it would
appear that they are with US all the
year round.
Salt water anglers are becoming
more and more scarce each week. 4
few still visit Chesapeake Beach,
Annapolis and Rock Point, but the
majority have put away their salt
water tackle until next season. OF
course some angler occasionally lands
big fish, but the trip Is hardly worth
the effort.

smartest racers of all ages and kinds in
training, representing the strongest
eastern and western establishments
will have assembled at Prince Georges
Park before the middle of the week.
These thoroughbreds will race over
course that has been reSoiled from end

Walker. He was born twenty-one
Hedge section OF Elizabeth.
Britton dropped Walker with al
most the very first blow of the fight
But in spite of this bad start Mickey
came back strong. and not only went
the entire twelve rounds. but before
the end of the bout he was taking the
lead away from the champion. Jersey
then woke up to the fact that it
had prospective champion. This
was last year.
This year Walker took part in eight
fights previous to the title affair. He
gave Soldier Bartf1eld two tough bat
ties at Philadelphia, but his real form
was indicated when he went to Boston
and knocked out Johnny Griffith in
twelve rounds, and then came back to
the same town and put Pal Reed away
in four rounds.
Then came the second crack at Brit
ton and the title.
IL a Rugged Fighter.
In the ring Walker presents a
rugged appearance. He is not much
of a boxer, but his offense serves as
a defense. He is an extremely hard
hitter with both hands and keeps
away all the time. Possibly
his left hand is the better of the two
at least it seemed so in the Britton
fght-but either hand is damaging
to an opponent.
All in all. he is a good. tough ring
man and should wear well.
The new champ will have formi-
dable opposition from his fellow
townsman and schoolmate, George
Ward. Ward has whipped Walker
during the last few months and is
regarded the better man.

Mickey's right name is Edward
years ago last July Is in the Keighr
Michael was a pin boy in a bowling
alley when he first got the notion of
being professional fighter. His
teur boxer, took him in hand when
he was about seventeen years old and
gave him his first boxing lessons.
Mickey learned SO quickly that they
claim he drove his cousin clean
through the old barn one day. At
that time Mickey weighed about 120
pounds.
After Higgins decided that he could
not teach Mickey anything new he
took him down to the Elizabeth Y.
NJ: c. A. and he absorbed little
plenty of boys to practice on, as the
boxing law had just gone over in
Jersey and had caught on strong in
Mickey's home town. Young Orsini
f1oored Mickey in one of these Y. NJ.
c. A. bouts and so they matched the
two to box at the Foresters' Club.
And that was the kids first ring
fight.
First Important Fight.
Mickey's first important fight was
against Tommy Speno. the star bat
tier of the town.: They went eight
hard rounds. This launched Mickey S
ring career in earnest, and they
started to stack him up against such
seasoned battlers as Marty Summers.

native game saved from extinc-
ton Let's all get together and join
the 1Saak Walton League of Amer
lea, SO that our chi1dren's children
may enjoy the same sports derived
from the waters and woods Of the
country that we enjoy today"
Commercialism and greed are not
the only factors to be named in the
fight for conservation Of fish. Pollu-
tion of streams is matter Of great
Importance to every person interest
ed Mr.: LIE Compte of Baltimore, game
warden of MARYLAND, says he has
more trouble with pollution than
and fish laws and that in many cases
the pollution Is not caused by the
manufacturing industries located
within his state. He states that there
is one pulp mill in West Virginia, just
across the border. which pollutes the
waters of the Potomac river, and. A.
nally. the people below. at Cumber-
land, complained that the fish life
was absolutely destroyed. He said he
had number of pollution cases, but
had never had one brought to trial.
Another complaint received by him
nocacy river, one Of our great bass
streams. A very fine dust from 2
stone quarry in Pennsylvania was al
lowed to go into the stream on which
the quarry was located. The grit
would stick to the gills of the fish
and cause death. He said he could
do nothing as the plant was in anoth-
er state: federal legislation could do
something, but not state laws.
In the summer of 1921 Mr.. Herbert
Hoover called a conference in this
city to consider two questions;
stream pollution and control of mi
gratory fish. He invited the commits
sioners of the Atlantic coast and
gulf states, about 100 of whom were
in attendance, and the matter was
gone into very exhaustiyely. Resolu-
tions were. adopted and the final con-
clusion OF the conference was, that
the question of stream pollution
should be and could only be effective
ly controlled, by the federal govern
ment. The Izaak Walton League sug-
gests that the members of its So
ciety indorse the action Of the Hoov-
er conference and for the commits
sioners to urge their senators and
to push through Con-
Eress some law sufficiently drastic to
meet this condition.
