)ONFIDENCE in his own ability has
carried Loughran much further
than a man of his light punching gen.
orally goes in the heavier division. Men
who depend largely on boxing manage
to last a few years and sometimes
reach the top. Poundmgs about the
head warp their judgment OF distance.
Heavy blows on the arms, when used
as guards, rob the muscles of their
elasticity and cause them to slow up.
Loughran hits harder with the right
than most fans imagine. True, he
cannot hit at long range because
his right Is principally used for de-
fensive purpose But sliding in IN

Loughran started in 1919. In the
first two years of his career he scored
seven knockouts in fourteen fights. HIS
first teacher was Willie Fitzgerald, an
out-and-out slugger. Unlike most
fighters who teach youngsters their

has been muddy for at least
three -fourths of the time, and is to-
day. The river is pretty muddy around
Washington but at Harpers Ferry this
stream and the Senandoah are reported
to be only slightly cloudy. Therefore,
in all probability, the bass anglers Will
have plenty Of sport this week casting
for their favorite fish, either in the
Shenandoah or Potomac.
The last week vas a poor one for
anglers, both in salt and fresh water.
A strong northeast wind swept Chesa-
peake Bay until last Thursday. Nat
urally the rough water put handicap
on fishing in the bay and muddy water
put a crimp in the aspirations OF bass
anglers.
There was, however. one redeemlng
feature in angling for bass. The Tidal
Basin has remained perfecly clear. and
the Washington Channel has furnished
excellent sport.
Capt. Aubrey Shepard at Gunston
place have been perfectly clear and that
some of the anglers have returned with
catches of seven and eight bass, some
pike. and that several rockfish weighing
around pounds each have been landed
in the cove He has plenty of boats. by
the way, and a goodly supply OF live
bait.
Sergt. Richardson at Fort
Washington tells us that the river
is discolored off the fort, but
Piscataway Creek is clear, and
lot of bass being caught. He also
has a plentiful supply of bait and
boats.
A. H G. Mears at Wachapreague
sends us word that Ieean fishing was
exceptionally good recently, but that
northeast sea. Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of last week prevented get
ting on the outside. He said weather
was unfavorable as late as Thursday.
However. his boat landed last Monday
and Tuesday $50 fish. mostly small
croakers, trout and hogfish, all good
pan fish but none large.
"HE best report of catch in Ches-
apeake Bay comes from Capt. Ed
Garvin of Tilghman Island. This
captain SAID ne recently Ildu pal W
from Philadelphia out on the "Goosesh
and they landed "a fish, blues and trout.
and that the largest blue weighed 9
pounds. and the largest trout 10 pounds
This trip was made a week ago last
Saturday. and since that time Capt.
Garvin reports that the northeaster has
prevented anything but still fishing.
and that the results from this method
were not SO good.
Other boat captains all along the bay
as far down as ST. JeromeS Creek re-
port only fair success, owing to the
northeaster In the lower Potomac the
best results were obtained off Tall
Timbers Capt Goldsborough reports
a catch there of 81 rockflsh running
from l to IA pounds. George Knight
at Leonardtown says that still fishing
is good off Blackstone Island, Kopels
Point and Herring Island.
Every salt water angler will tell you
that the hardhead has been the back
bone of the 1888 fishing season. This
fish made its appearance in large num-
bers early in the season and was caught
in such large numbers that the anglers
became tired of landing it. Just when

REPEAL RUSH.
PLANNED BY
PHILLIPS
Acting State Secretary Asks
kilograms Notifying Him
of Convention Acts
By International News Service

In order that the legal fu-
neral rites for the Eighteenth
Amendment may be performed
the same day it's repeal is ratl-
fled by the Sc States, Acting
Secretary of State Phillips to-
day announced he had wired
the governors of Pennsylvania,
Ohio and Utah, requesting them
to rush by telegraph official
notification of repeal.
These three States are due to
sound the death knell Of prohibi-
ton next Tuesday.
Asks "Rush" Messages
Philips requested that the sec
retaries Of State advise him by
telegraph as soon as the repeal
amendment has been ratified.
This, he said, will enable him
to issue a proclamation announc-
ing legal repeal of prohibition on
the same day the repeal amend
ment is ratified.
Ordinarily, the State Depart
n1ent would have to await receipt
of certified copies of the ratifi-
cation by each of the three States
before the Secretary or Acting
Secretary of State could proclaim
legal repeal. In the case of a
State as far away as Utah, this
might cause several days delay
before the repeal proclamation
could be issued.
Effective at Once
Although the repeal amend
ment actually becomes effective
as soon as it is ratified by the sc
States, the President cannot issue
a proclamation of repeal until
after the State Department has
announced official notification OF
ratification by the requisite num-
Der Of States.
