talk and the blue fish have made
their first appearance in the bay

three stand-out news items Of the

Favorable fishing reports are

Several encouraging catches OF
small-mouth bass have been made
in the upper Potomac and
Shenandoah rivers. Large-mouth
bass have also been found in the
bay. Trolling for rockfish in the
lower Potomac is bringing results.
Rare Fish Caught
The most interesting catch of
the week was a 12-pound carbio,
extremely rare in these regions.
caught by Tim Sullivan at Point
Lookout.
The carbio, rated one of the
fastest fish in existence, is a
freakish hodge-podge of several
fish.
It has a head like a catfish,
shark-like body, whip-tail like
a stingaree, and is a member
Of the mackerel family. Sullivan
hooked it Saturday night while
out with William E. Wolf. j. C.
Whitehead and George Frank.
This strange finster supplemented
a catch of 108 big hard-heads.
Eastern shore fishermen, com

of peelers, ran smack into a
school of large blues halfway

AS we say, there are IA ther.

ticket comes out Of a stamping
machine and registers infinitesi-

there can be no inaccurate

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Willie
Stribling comes back into the big
money for the first time since
he lost-~to Max Schmeling at
Cleveland last summer. when he
meets Ernie Schaaf in a 10-round
bout here tonight.
Schaaf, managed by Jack
Sharkey, has battered his way
through a succession of pretenders
to the heavyweight throne. A
decisive victory for Schaaf will
put him in direct line for battle
with Schmeling, if his boss, Herr
Sharkey, fails to whip the
German when they meet in New
York in June.
When last seen on the big
time, Stribling was a battered,
bloodied, broken battler. Max
Schmeling methodically handed
the Georgian the worst beating
of his long ring career. He will
be outweighed 20 pounds tonight,
scaling about 1873, to Schaff's
2O8. Schaaf is a 6-to-5 favorite.
Luminaries of the fistic world
will be on hand for the battle.
Jack Dempsey, returned from
Louisville, where he defeated
Frank Wine in an exhibition
battle and where he received a
colonels commission from the
governor, will be in a ringside
seat. Mickey Walker will be
near him. Jack Sharkey will be
in Schaaf's corner.

BILOXI, Miss, Feb. 26-Even
though great deal cannot be
said concerning the rookie pitch
ers now in the Griffs camp, there
is one or two who show promise
of future sGardom.
Robert Chattanooga Fried

one Of them.
Friedrich carriez around a nat

outs. So noticeable has it been
that 1t has been commented upon
by Griff, Johnson, Martin and
the two catcher coaches, Patsy
Charity and Eddie Ainsmith.
"The kid looks like a comcr,"
they agree.
Action under fire will help de-
eide his fate.
Friedrich has handled himself
well IN workouts.
Maybe he is the pitcher we're
looking for to balance our
staff" said Johnson. "SOme-
body out of the collection Of
rockies on hand should fill the
bill. Every one of them have
come up to us with a commend
able record"
With all eyes fixed on Friedrich
and his work, the rest Of the
rockies are expected to step out
during the daily practice sessions
from now on to overshadow him.
A few were allowed to put on a
little steam yesterday, under the
directions of Mike Martin. who
reported no sore arms as a result.
More steam will be allowed to-
day, with full steam being applied
by the end of the week. Begin
ming next Monday the plans call
for a few turns on the mound for
batting practice.
This may be inaugurated before
Monday if any of the hurlers
show signs that they are ready
before then, and if the infield
soil, which has been "doctored"
daily since the squad arrived, is
ready.

gotten myself down to one or
two a day, which is something
for me to rave about.
'Last year / smoked cigarettes
all the time, not one or two, but
sometimes two packs day. 1t
didn't do my pitching any good,
nor did it help my health"
Breaking a habit, particularly
that of smoking, is difficult. With
Carl it is no exception, but he is
winning his battle.
81 notice when I ran around
the Outfield at the park the first
day out, my wind was BETTER"
says Carl. "That was proof
itself that the absence of so
many cigarettes was beneficial.
I think with q little more will
power I'll be able to cut them
out altogether, although that's
going to be hard"
If cutting out cigarettes is 60
ing to make Fischer a winning
pitcher, as he believes, one OF
Johnson'S hardest problems will
be solved. Becoming a winner
will help his team considerably
in getting somewhere in this
years pennant race. Carl can
make the Griffs' pitching staff
by adding his presence to that
of Marberry, Crowder and Brown
as starting hurlers.
Fischer showed rare promise at
times last year, particularly dur
ing the early part Of the cam
paign. He won something like
nine games before being stopped
and pitched brilliantly while turn
ing in these winning efforts.
He finished the campaign with
13 triumphs. Prexy Griff and
Manager johnson hope that he
can register IS or more victories
this season. This, they feel, will
be great help to the order Of
things, evn though the cigarette
manufacturers may not profit.

Sparkling Hurdles Field in c. u CarniOal
EX.EASTERN
FLASH WITH
VIRGINIA
BY GEORGE A. SIMPSON


A sparkling field of timber
toppers will face the barrier in
the third annual Catholic Uni
versity indoor field and track
games tomorrow night in the C.
U. The opening event is listed
for 1880 o'clock.
OF especial interest to local
fans in the hurdle races will be
the first appearance here Of
Grover Everett and Willard Pig
gott as college athletes.
Everett, former Eastern High
flash, will wear the - colorS Of
the University of Virginia as a
freshman while Willard Piggott,
erstwhile Techite, will fly the
black and old gold Of Maryland.
Holds ID. C. High Marks
Everett is the holder Of the
District interscholastic high
hurdles and broad jump marks.
He raced over the 100 yards high
hurdles in 16 seconds flat last
year and leaped 81 feet, 8A
inches in the broad jump. ~
Finkelstein and Speer, both OF
Washington and Lee, will be
other dangerous competitors in
the hurdles. The former has
been Southern Conference low
hurdles champion for two years,
while Speer has been the high
hurdles champion for the same
period.
Williams Entered
Leigh Williams, all-around ath-
lete at Washington and Lee, will
be another strong entry from the
Generals in the 440-yard run.
Williams won the Southern Con.
ference quarter-mile champion
ship last year.
Catholic University's best bet
in the sprint races, George
Barkley, may not put on his
spiked shoes tomorrow night.
Barkley has been nursing pulled
muscles in his right leg in a
practice meet with Navy at
Annapolis three weeks ago.
He broke down in a race with
Waybright, Navy ace, at time
when he was inches in front. It
is said that Barley is at least
a foot faster than Johnny Lyons,
his teammate, in the 50-yard dash.
Squads in Trim
The Catholic University and
Maryland squads are in trim for
the meet as both have engaged
in several practice meets this
week. "Swede" Eppley, Mary
land coach, has a couple of dark
horses which he plans to uncover.
Bill Carr has finally finished
the banking of the turns and
installing special seats to accom-.
modate the expected attendance.

j. s, AIRPORT LEASE
PLAN CONSIDERED
Bill to Be introduced If Terms
Are Met With
Owners.

A conference to whip into shape the
proposed legislation under which the
Federal Government would lease the
site Of Washington Hoover Airport,
near the Highway Bridge, for operation
Of the air terminal as model munich
pal airport by the Department Of Com
merce Aeronautics Branch was held
yesterday.
No decision was reached at the con-
ference, but the proposal was taken
under consideration, and if found mu-
tually satisfactory bill will be intro
duced in Congress to accomplish the
leasing of the privately owned ground
on which the airport stands.
Attending the conference were repre-
sentatives Of the airport interests, Capt.
E. N. Chisolm, jr., engineer OF the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission, and Charles w. Eliot. director
Of planning Of the commission.
The action of the Federal Govern
ment in laying claim to As acres Of the
airport landing field area as a result Of
legal dispute over the District of
Columbia boundary line on the south
shore of the Potomac is preventing
necessary private development Of the
airport and is jeopardizing the use Of
the airport, it is commended. The pro-
posal of the airport owners to lease
their holdings to the Government for
Federal operation of the airport was
advanced as the only way out Of TIE
difficulty
