BALTIMORE BOXERS

Rinc men from Baltimore scored
three out of four victories last night
at the Washington Barracks show.
The fights were all slam. bang, give

the most attractive cards yet staged
at the Army post Several surprises
were dished out with the local lads
on the short end.
There was one Knockout registered

ting Terry O'Day. the little Irish
featherweiSht, away in the third
round. It was one of the most un-
usual and spectacular h. O.'s in the
history of boxing in these parts
Sharkey had let f1y vicious right for
the solar pIexus. but O'Day turned his
body just in time to escape it. The
blows landed heavily on the kidneys
with telling effect.
1t was just such z blow in round
three which sent ODay writhing in
agony to the canvas. He saw the
blow coming and turned his body
further around than usual. catching
the roundhouse swing very close 10
the spinal column. His seconds, fear
ing some injury had been suffered
hoped into the ring, which in itself
would disqualify any battler. Sullivan,
however. made 10 count and O'Day
took his first K. o. since taking up
his residence in this city.
Eddie Bowen put up good fight
against his more experienced opponent,
Joe Belmont of Baltimore, in the
main go of the evenings card. Bel
mont proved to be a wise. crafty
ringster. and possessed a wonderful
left hand. He kept playing tattoo on
BoweD's face, frequently crossing
with his right. which shook Bowen
several times. Bowen fought good
game battle. but the Baltimoria n
proved too much for him.
Fra nike Trischman of Baltimore
pulled a surprise by giving Jimmie
Waterman. United States Navy lad. a
neat trimming in their six-round go.
rrischman appeared to be much the
bigger man and had entirely too much
reach for Waterman. Waterman
proved that he could take it as well
as give it and was In there fighting
every inch of the way at all times.
The only Washingtonian to score
on the evenings card was Jack Cody
of Fort Myer, who gave Rube Parn-
ham of Baltimore good lacing in the
six rounds. Parnham showed a flash
at the beginning of the ninth inning.

to point the way.

The Biological Survey sees the
handwriting on the wall and in
recent bulletin says:
The fur supply, once rich heri
tase and a prime stimulus for The
occupation and settlement of the
continent. is seriously threatened by
present conditions and lack of uni
formity in laws and regulations relal-
ing 70 open seasons. trapping meth
ods and primeness of pelts. To
remedy unwholesome conditions as
far as possible, and before il is TOO
late. the Biological Survey is CO.
operating with State conservation
and game commissions in encouras-
ing the enactment of uniform trap
ping laws in zones having similar
climatic conditions.
"Furs of many kinds were COM
monty taken in all sections of the
country few generations ago, but
with the depletion or extinction over
great areas OF certain of the more
priced species, the most valuable fur
bearers in the United States, from
the standpoint of financial returns
from the annual catch, are now the
muskrat, the skunk, the raccoon and
the opossum.
Fur animals are the sole basis
of the fur trade. one of the oldest
and still one Of the most important
Industries of the world. They con-
stitute A valuable ma atursl resource
which should be perpetuated. for if
once exterminated species can
never be brought back.
Fur bea ring animals should not
be classed as game. for they are
trapped primarily for fur and not for
food.
Three months is sufficiently
long open season for any fur bear
ing animal. and the bureau is recon-
mending legisla ton TO this end. 1t
is also urging that trappers be re-
quired to make annual reports of the
number of each species taken, for
with data thus made available a
sound foundation will be provided
for a survey of the annual catch and
it's relation to the breeding supply,
or. as it may be termed, the capltal
stock.
In urging the Importance of proper
legislation on fur animals the sur
vey points out that what is needed
is not more laws. but better laws and
q stricter enforcement OF them. Laws

without bias or influence by one in
terest at the expense of another.
The trapper of fur animals should
receive the same consideration given
to the hunter of game animals or
birds.
"The greatest degree OF co-opera :
ton and foresight on the part of
every one is essential If all species
of fur bearers are to be retained
permanently and the fur industry is
not to be jeopardized."
