.RIPRAP is LOOMING

BY he Associated Press
LOUISVILLE. April 16,-wherever
the Kentucky Derby is discussed. and
such places are many now that the
historic race is four weeks away, the
name of Riprap. one of trio of can
didates in the stable Of Trainer Max
HirsCh, is being heard more and more
frequently.
Turf follc ers who have been
watching his preparation at Belmont
Park say that if he continues TO train
in the form he has shown thus far he
is sure to be one of the faVorites when
the field goes. to the post at Churchill
Downs Saturday. May IS.
With the $50, 0,000-added event only
month off, there has been considerable
opporl lunity to test the merits of the
100 remaining eligibles. but the race
remains an open one. Two of the 162
nominees, Mormask and Mornline,
Benjomin Blocks sons of Norwich,
1922 Derby winner. are dead; others
have gone amiss and have been turned
out. but the cream of the, three-yrar
olds have skinned over the turf IN
a manner satisfactory to their tram
ers and still are in the running.
Prominent among these is Riprap.
This chestnut colt by Broomstick out
of Blue Sky belongs to the Sage Sta
BILE. He did not face the barrier until
October of last year, but won three Of
his four starts. one of them beins the
Walden Handicap. He showed 10 t3d-

ROD AND STREAM
by PERRY MILLER

T HEEE is a treat in store for
local anglers. This will be in
the nature Of a monthly prize
for the largest FISH landed in
May. June, July, August, Sep
tember, October and November. The
prize will be awarded to the fisherman
who brings his catch to one OF the
sporting goods stores making the offer
and having it weighed in, Full &C.
tails concerning these additional
prizes-the regular prizes fer the
year to be awarded at the end of the
fishing season the same as in the
past-haye not as yet been an
nounced.
Several sporting goods stores suS-
gested recently that it might be q
good thing to offer a monthly prize
in addition to the prizes awarded at
the close of the fishing season. They
contend that heretofore an angler had
to wait until the end of fishing to
reap his reward. BY giving monthly
prize an angler may capture two
prizes with one fish--a monthly prize
and the prize offered fer a fish In its
class at the close of the season.
Full details of this offer OH the part
of the sporting goods stores will he
announced in this column next wesk.
Last Sunday two anglers caught 35
white perch in the river between
Fletchet's and Chain Bridge. 1t is
said that some OF these perch weighed
about a pound. The river has been
muddy during the week, but ought
10 be in good condition for those
anglers who may venture forth today
ln# quest of perch. There is no doubt
about the perch being in the river,
but whether the annual run has
started is a question.
There are also many herring to be
seen making their way upstream, but
not lin sufficient quantities to be
snagged. it will not surprise this
column to learn of many good catches
of perch today and during Easter
week. The time has arrived for them
to make their appearance In large
numbers, but. as before stated, the
lateness of the season may hold them
back until we have two or three days
of warm weather,
1t may be that this Spring perch,
herring and shad will all be in the
swift waters of the Potomac at the
same time, as has happened many
times in the past. And TO make the
sport more exciting a good-size rock
may be hooked at the same time. 1t
is the uncertainty of the sport that
makes 1t so fascinating.
Reports from Chesapeake Bay state
that big hauls of rock fish are being
made by net fishermen. One day last
week i'm the mouth of Patuxent River
off Solomons Island, 400 pounds of
these gamesters were taken in one
landing, the largest among them
weighing pounds.
The croakers or hardheads, as they
are more familiarly known, also are
their way upstream. The
local markets have plenty OF them
for sale. These fish furnish good
sport for anglers during the first few
months Of the season, when they seem
to fade away for time, only to make
their temperance later in the Sum
mer. The first run OF these fish are
usually of the larger size. During
the real hot Summer months the big
ones evidently seek deeper water and
then the smaller and better eating
croakers are caught. With the re-
turn of cooler weather the big fellows
are again landed and incidentally
they put up q good fight.
The real sport in the bay com

Retired Lightweight Champion OF the World.
n TEW YORK, April 16.-The
action of the New York state
Athletic Commission in setting
$3.50 as the limit price to be
charged for a ticket to q box
ing show in New York State has
drawn forth numerous bleats from
promoters. boxers and even those gen
tlemen of the press known as "hght
critics"
There is loud plaiut that this
action win result in forcing the bat.
tie for the world heavyweight cham
pionship out OF this State.
Regardless of this, I, for one, am
against setting this price limit. I be-
lieve the whole system is ali wrong.
Now whenever YOU say q thing is
wrong, YOU should he prepared to
suggest q remedy Well, / am pre-.
pared and my suggestion is this:
Charge a top price for seats in the
first three rows; then grade down
ward as you so back.
Benny Cites Example.
For example. say we have a Tunney
and Maloney fight at one of the big
ball PARKS here. Let Humbert Flu
gazy or Tex Rickard, whichever pro-
nloter happens to conduct the con.
test. charge S100 each for tickets in
the first three rows. Say he charges
SIS for seats in the next three rows
and graduates the price downward
until he would be charging perhaps
so each for seats in the forty-fourth
row. This would give the promoter a
fair average and would be fair TO the
customers.
1t doesn't require much thought to
see that the present method is mani
festly unfair. Under present condi'
tions the price for the best seat in
the first row ringside would be $3.50.
And the price for the worst seat in
the forty-fourth row would be $3.50.
Is it any wonder then that the spec
ulators are able TO reap such a
harvest on an important battle? 1t
is only natural that a person wants
to get the very best when he is pay
ing for it, and SO when a fight fan
goes to the box Office to buy a ring
side seat he cannot be blamed for
wanting something within the first
or 10 rows when he is paying the
top price for his seat.
There are fight fans who will pay
any price for a good seat at an i'm
portant boxing contest. \ year or
so ago e.. T. Silver we'll known

to buy the seats he wanted for box

, seat in the ffteenth row as some
body else pays for a seat in the first
or second row. l would much rathet
pay a big premium for a seat close
TO the rIngside."
Even then he agreed with me when
We talked about grading the prices
as | am now suggesting.
There are enough wealthy fight
fans i'm New York city TO buy out
the first six rows OF any important
bout at price even as high as
$1,000 a seat. You will ne surprised
TO learn how few seats there are in
the first six rows. There is a fiXed
number Of seats, providing they are
of the same width and the aisles are
of the same width. The ring itself
is of B. certain fixed dimension and
no matter how big the place, even
il II were set in the middle of the
Sahara Desert ii would be impUssi-
BILE to get more seats in the first
six rows than you can get in the
first sin rows of q small club. This,
OF course. means with the asles the
same breadth. There are approxi-
mately 65O seats in the first six
rows.
Humber Fugazy told me that he
| had received 5000 applications Tor
must be within the hrst six rows
| This was at the ratio of 13 applics-
! tions for each seat at his disposal
/ I'm those rows.
AS a matter Of fact the ratio was
even higher because a portion of
| these seats had been allotted prOmi-
| nent individuals and the boxers in
( the principal bout, who happened 10
/ be Jack Delaney and Paul Berlen-
\ bach.
Demand Value for Money.
Many a time merchants and other
/ big business men buy ringside seats
| for q bout to give away to friends,
clients or customers. In cases of this
kind, these men would be only too
! glad to buy FinSside seats further
/ back than the first 10 rows il there
was difference in the price. But, o.
| course, they demand the very best,
when they are paying the highest
| price.
| Now one thing more. Under pres
! ent conditions, there is a sudden drop
| from the very high-priced riugside
seats so that seats only one row be
/ hind the last row of ringside seats
sometimes sell for S. or even $40 less
/ Under the system ! am suggesting,
there would not be this sudden drop
1t would be gradual. and the customer
would feel better satisfied.
realize this is radical departure
from the system now In vogue. Never
theless it has merit and is worth con-
sidering. The boxing commission and
the promoters are welcome to It.

me and that's Mr.. Fan, the man who
supports the boxing game.
