YOHN w. FENTON, one OF Rod

up an interesting question.
~ 1T would be impossible FOR
me to even guess the number
of fishing trips I have taken to both
fresh and salt water resorts during
the past 20 years" he writes. and
during that period I have never come
in contact with any one who could
explain to me why fish do not bite
in salt water during a northeast
wind.
I have had many peculiar expert"
ences, such as catching a bull min
now on a trout hook, 4-foot ell on
the smallest hook purchasable in
merely a practice cast In less than a
foot Of water; have had a shark bite
off three-fourths Of trout and hard
head when about to use a net; have
caught AZ toadfish In succession on a
hard bottom without landing any
other species. On the other hand, 1
have caught IL different species, no
two kind in succession-kingflsh,
trout, founder. perch, catfish, swell
belly. shark, toad, hardhead, spot and
hogflsh, and on one occasion caught
a fish even the natives could not
name. All of which were feasible.
but no one has yet explained to me
why fish do not bite on north
easter.
Gould 1t be that during the Winter
months more northeast winds prevail
over the ocean and bay than in the
Summer season and that when a
northeast wind blows during the
warm weather it is indicative to the
fishes that the Winter season ap-
proaches and they prepare to leave
for deep water or their Winter
haunts? Are the habits of fish similar
to migratory birds In certain in
stances?"
THERE are many anglers who
i still believe that a northeast
wind puts a stop to fish biting.
and it most certainly does if the
velocity of the wind Is sufficient to
cause the water to become rough and
covered with whitecaps. This is
especially true Of water ranging in
depth from 10 to Is feet. The waves
cause the water to become discolored
or cloudy and drive the fish into
deeper water. In deep water it's
more the discomfort of the anglers
trying to fish and hold on to some
thing to keep from being tossed over
board. and the rise and fall of your
bait on the bottom, which causes one
to think the fish have stopped biting.
A high wind from any direction
will stop fish from biting. be It from
the north, south, east or west, or
from intermediate points, when the
water gets too rough.
There Ere certain fishing grounds
In Chesapeake Bay where the boat
captains welcome a gentle wind from
the northeast; they say it will make
fishing better. I talked with an
angler who does the majority Of his
fishing In New Hampshire and he
said on . particular lake they well

(This Is the first OF a series DEAL

BY ORLO ROBERTSON,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

N IEW YORK, March 26.-
M Having failed to show
v much consistency during
4 their juvenile campaigns,
the countrys outstanding s.
year -olds are answering the an
nual call to boots and saddles"
with prospects none too bright
for an outstanding champion.
They beat each other with almost
every shift in weights last year, run
ming like champions in one race and
like platers the next. Unless one Of
the group has blossomed into a
Twenty Grand or a Gallant Fox dur
ing the Winter the same thing may be
expected this year when they parade
for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill
Downs, May S; the Preakness at
Pimlico, May u, and succeeding rich
stakes.
Since some horse must be made the
favorite for the sixtieth running Of
the Derby, the bookmakers have Sc
lecter Matt Hari from Charles T.
Fishers Dixiana stud. They are quot
ing the little Midwestern filly at 10 to
l largely because of her victories in
the Breeders Futurity and the Ken
lucky Jocky Club late in the season
at Latonia.
But Matt Hari is a filly and Ken
tuckians, who know their horses, think
none too well OF that sex as far as
the Derby Is concerned. Only one
filly. Harry Payne Whitney's Regret
in 1914, ever won it.
Sir Thomas is Looming.
TROM Lexington, where Matt Hari
n Is winterine, come reports that
the Dixiana filly, victor in five
Of her eight starts and winner Of
SIS, 1854 as a juvenile, is training
famously. There are reports, however,
she will be reserved for stakes limited
to her sex unless she Is in top condi-
ton on Derby day.
The horse that is attracting the at
tention of horsemen is Sir Thomas. a
son of Sir Gallahad, Sd, which did not
win a race last year, but finished Sec
ond twice and third three times in
II trips to the post. His best per-
formance was in the 100000 Belmont
Futurity when he finished close sec
ond to Singing Wood.
Sir Thomas. sired by the same stall
lion that sent the great Gallant Fox
to the races, Is a poor mans horse,
being owned by his trainer. Alec Cor
don. He now is the second choice to
Matt Hari.
CHARTERED at Douglas Park in Ken
lucky, Sir Thomas probably is the
farthest advanced In training Of any
Of the 3-year- -olds. He already has
breezed several easy miles. The get
of Sir Ganahad always have been at
their best as 3-year-olds.

Bowed Thrice TO Goodwin.

TN ALL, it appears tomorrow's fight
will be one Of those rare occasions
when the little guy will stand as
good, II not a better. chance than the
big one.
Barry, too. should know it is not
good business on his part TO box
smaller fighters, an obvious fact which
causes District ringworms to wonder
how the Southeast redhead was in
veigled into accepting the bout in
which he stands to gain so little in
comparison to the prestige he may
lose following a victory over the
highly-touted Charlie Massera.
Past performances have shown
lighter battlers to be plain poison to
Barry. Bob Goodwin licked him three
times and Robert never scaled more
than 10 pounds. Joe knight and
Make Rosenbioom are two other
light-heavies who have conquered
Barry.
OF course, Fiducia has yet to prove
himself Of the cahber Of Goodwin,
Knight and Rosenbloom. but Freddie
won many admirers when, without
working up a sweat, he rocked Henry
Irving to sleep in his lone local en-
eagement. Some have gone out pretty
far on the limb for the New Jersey
italian, although Irving is not accept
ed as a first-claSs measuring standard.
But in that woefully one-sided tussle
Ffducia showed a strange resemblance
to Knight. He hits like the Georgia
southpaw and is a much smoother
and more colorful boxer.
