dig stands for conservation
FIRST, last and always, and there are
no halfway measures with him, and
how to bring about conservation was
the sum and substance of his message.
Coordination of movement, Dig
says, is the only hope of preserving
outdoor America for Americans. and
the biggest and most important move
rnent looking toward that end now
Is the Izaak Walton League. chap
ters of which, made up of the fore
most conservationistS and nature
lovers, are springing UP like mush-
rooms in every State of the Union.
The growth of the organization is
shown in a. few brief facts noted by
Dig. Thirty-four months ago the
first Izaak Walton League of Amer
lea was formed in Chicago. Today
that chapter has well over 1000 mem
bers. Dig said that as this chapter
has grown, so has it's teachings
spread. There are now 1880 chapters,
with an enrolment of approximately
$4,000 members.
Forty-two States contain chapters
of the league, and recently he de-
clared that he had attended five State
conventions Of Izaak Walton chap
tiers. He said at the last general ma
tional convention there were more
than 1000 delegates from AZ States.
Not an official of any one of the
chapters, the State organization, the
national body or those who contribute
to outdoor America receive one
penny for their efforts, Dig said.
NO country on the face of the globe
has an outdoors like that Of outdoor
America" said Dig. land no people
ever crucified an outdoors like Amer
leans"
Accom- pIfshments Of League.
Things that the league has already
accomplished and still striving
for, as enumerated by Dig. include
/. The, passage of national legisla-
ton which saved from drainage

2. The purchase of lands in Wyo

8. An aggressive program callinl
for national and State legislation t.
eradicate pollution from coastal ant
inland waters.
1. Public shooting and fishing
grounds and game refugees to be es
tahlished by the national and Stat
governments.
In concluding an address in Balti

game you have and increase the
supply.
Il have yet to find legislature or a
congress that. If they find thing is
right, and find that the people want
it, will fail to pass it,
Chance for WashinEtonians.
Why can't Washington anglers get
together and call on Dig to come
down to the Nations Capital and ad-
dress not 100 anglers, but 1000 or
more anglers, and show him that
here, at the seat of Government, we
have men who are real fighters, and
men who can call on Representatives
and Senator's from all States of the
Union to further the objects fathered
by the Izaak Walton League.

Baltimore. yesterday car
ried off the individual honors in the
South Atlantic A. A. L. crosse
country championship race. held
under the auspices of the University,
of Maryland at College Park. His
time for the course. which was about
Ga miles, was So minutes and l
second. tt
Maryland won the team trophy
easily, scoring over the Aloysius CLUB
of Washington, the only other organ
ization that had enough men in the
race to qualify for the cup, by wide
margin the count being 80 to ST.
Although Maryland did not have
man among the first three. r. Gwinn
of Johns Hopkins running second and
the veteran Dan Healy OF Aloysius
Club finishing third, 1t had the next
ten, all that it started, to breast the
tape. A Petruska was the first Old
Liner to get home.
Almost a Dual Affair.
Seventeen of the twenty runners
that faced the test were from Mary
land or Aloysius, the latter having
finished, Brooks and Stanley giving
way during the race Outside of Agee
and Gwinn, the only other entrant,
save the Old Liners and I Streets,
was Davidson, a teammate of the
first named.
Agee, who won the ten-mile race in
Baltimore on Thanksgiving day. set
the pace almost from the outset, and
Gwinn also took second place soon
after the start and remained there.
Gwinn, though. never feally threat
ened to take the honors away from
the youthful Agee, who was more
than 100 yards in front when he
crossed the finishing mark.
Veteran Finishes Third.
Healy, who has been running al
most as long as can be remembered by
some of the oldest inha bitants, ran
his usual steady and heady race, but
he did not have quite enough spry-
ness to give his much younger rivals
real battle. He finished good
third, gradually working his way
from sixth after the halfway mark
had been passed. He was less than
so yards back of Gwinn and about %
in front of Petruska-
Mike Lynch, another Aloysius vet
eran, was 14th. but he finished fresh
as a fiddle and could have gone four
times as far. In fact. such a short
distance is not Lynch's long suit. as
he is more at home at the marathon
route.
Agee's time was slow, much slower,
in fact, than many of the Maryland
men have covered the course, but the
runners were hampered by a strong
northwest wind which they were
forced to face for the greater part OF
the distance. He ran the ten miles
in the recent Baltimore race at
better pace.
