.RITCHE TO ASK
VIRGINIA'S HELP
Declares Key To Situation is Held
BY Southern State
Needed LegIs-
iatlon.

Governor Richie will meet
Gov. e. Lee Trinkle, Of Virginia,
early in September to confer on
conservation Of crabs. Swepson
Earle, Conservation Commissioner
of Maryland, and w. Mcdonald
Lee, Commissioner of Fisheries of
Virginia, will attend this confer
ence.
Action by Virginia to protect female
crabs Is sought by the Maryland au-
thorities. Under the Maryland law no
female crabs may be taken at any
time, but It is alleged they are dredged
in Virginia waters.
The situation was explained by Mr..
Earle as follows:
Female crabs,r he said, leave
Maryland waters in August and Sep
tembeT for Hampton Roads. where the
water is deeper and saltier. In DC
tober and November so per cent of the
crabs in Hampton Roads are females,
while in the Maryland waters the
figures are reversed. so per cent Of
the crabs remaining being males.
There are SO licensed boats taking
crabs in Virginia waters.
at will be seen that Virginia holds
the key TO the situation. We want the
Virginia Legislature to pass law pro-
hibiting the catching Of female crabs.
In 1911 l went to Virginia and asked
for such legislation and the authorities
told me II could prove my conten-
tion that a large majority Of the
female crabs from Maryland go to
their waters they would have the de-
sired laws passed. The United States
Bureau of Fisheries proved it for me,
and now we will ask that the promise
be kept
"As soon as the little crabs are able
to travel they start back for Maryland,
and by the time they are years old
and have shed Is times they are Of
marketable size. credit female crab
with 100000 eggs. but the Federal au-
thorities go as high as 100000. In
either case, and making allowance for
accidents and fatalities, it is plain
that the destruction Of every female
crab means a loss Of many thousands
of young ones.
Virginia has five-inch Gull law for
crabs, the same as we have, but dealers
here who buy crabs from Virginia COM
plain that the law is not enforced. In
Maryland the law is observed In an
unannounced inspection of a packing
house on Honga river last week
found only one crab under the legal
size in crates containing 5000"

OF course, it may be said that q
champion may lose ground over a
year, even to the extent Of not
being able to qualify. But that
is not the question. Having won
the event. and being the titleholder
he should, logically speaking, be
able to compete in their own event
without further preliminary effort.
Security in that right should
be part Of the prize that comes
with the title. We should have
q higher opinion of our own
events, and not show 50 plainly
that we doubt their testing quail
ity, and fear that our own cham
piOn Is something of q dub.
Mr.. Crafts w. Higgins of The
Golfers Magazine has brought this
question UP q number of times,
and think that it was largely
through his effort and forceful
representation that the Women's
Western Golf Association adopted
their clear-cut, sensible rule that
has set them on q plane where they
are able to treat their own cham.
pions with the respect due their

Never once, whatever they may
think privately, do they assume
by any official act that they fear
that their lady champion got in
by a fluke and that she needs the
humiliation of q close contest in
the qualifying round to put her
in her proper place.
The ladies Of the WOmen's
Western Golf Association are too
courteous for that. too regardful
OF their own hOn0rs and events,
to express any doubts of their
champions right to compete.
Very politely they lead their
champion to the first place In the
match play bracketing. No. II
is placed against her and all Is
well.
do not think that anything
could induce these ladies to ask
their champion to qualify. OF
course, IL the lady champion de
sires to compete in the qualifying
round, she can do 80, and take
her chances with the rest.
Some might like their chance at
