Explaining it's action in charg-

teur show at the National Press
Club last night, the Boxing Com
mission today issued the follow
ing:
Accepting the Juvenile
boxers under is years of age
strictly as exhibition perform
ers, the commission, at the
Press Club show, did request
and accept an annual license
fee of 81 for the older con-
testants, the boys such as Mike
TardugnO, Leo COveleskie and
others.
"The commission advised that
this action was taken, pending
the approval of rules and regu-
lations, not only to protect the
club but also to protect the
boxers concerned.
"ShOuId the rules, as finally
adopted, not include license fees
for amateur boxers over 16, it
would be q simple matter to
return the fees which, tenn
pOrariIy were put up by the
Press Club to cover the licenses
of the older boys on the card"

Local anglers, encouraged by
reports that the fish were begin
ming to show a little interest in
the proceedings, are wondering as
they prepare to sally forth.
HardheadS have been caught in
nets in goodly numbers in the
Patuxent around Benedict during
the past few days, and old cam
paigners expect to see them take
to the hook shortly, possibly start
ing tomorrow.
There will be quite a few who'll
investigate these possibilities.
Large Perch In River
However, the large perch which
will continue to reward the
anglers in the Potomac between
Key Bridge and Chain Bridge will
hold the attention of many. A
few pan rock have also been
nabbed.
Clint Tucker took a fling at the
perch early. this week and picked
up 80 of them, 10 weighing over
a half pound. Wednesday Sid
Atlas dragged in 70 perch includ-
ing one whopper that weighed near
a pound in deep water near
Walkers Point. Sid used soft crab,
blood worms and, just common
ordinary angle worms with just
the same effectiveness. Sid also
brought in four big eels.
Plenty of Catfish
Ed Craig nabbed a big mass of
catfish and about 20 large perch,
early in the week. Catfish are
plentiful.
Abe Shapiro, Tom Grasse, Char
ley Abbatte and Everest Rosson
made their initial pilgrimage to
Benedict last weekend, and though
Capt. George Horseman did his
dernest, no manner of fish came
their way.

BY BILL CORUM
Just As A Chancer
We're Going To Take
Time Supply To Do 1t.

BALTIMORE, Md, May IL.
So here I am down here in the
land of the oriole and the mock
ing bird, and with a song on my
lips.
What'll it be, boys?
Step up and name your own
request number. Don't be back
ward. We're all friends to-
.Rether here, you know. How
about Time Supply On My
Hands,"
ALI I am trying to say is
That I'm going to make what
probably is a sucker play, and
select and back Time Supply to
win the forty-fourth running of
otbe Preakness stakes at Pimlico
today. I am going to do that
Tor several reasons, but the
primary one is that I hate to go
with the chalk. None of those
~3-to-5 shots for me.
.Cavalcade looked to be a
pretty fair colt in the Derby, as
did his stablemate, High Quest,
in the Wood Memorial. Also
the Sloane-Smith-G Garner COM
Ibination is as lucky as all get
out these days.
But racing fans and some
times even racing handicappers
have an odd way of reasoning.
They figure that because a
horse wins one race he'll come
right back and win the next
one. He doesn't always do it.
II he did, I wouldn't be work
Ing for a living. True Caval-
cade is the solid horse of the
race and, equally true, he beat
pretty much the same field a
week ago in the Derby. But he
didn't look to me like any Man
O. War doing it.
Besides this is not the Derby.
There is no Mata Hari and
Sergeant Byrne to race each
.0ther into the ground in this
lone.
Fresh Colt
Time Supply is fresh colt
and a fleet one. He's had a
long rest since Florida. He hasn't
been shipping all over the coun-
try. Nor has Swiftsport, the
extreme outside of the Freak
ness field, which also holds a
fighting chance. In any case,
If you care, I pick the race as
follows:
/. Time Supply. 2. Cavalcade.
3. High Quest. Agrarian.

old boy, and I'll pick 1t up
in fact toss a pair OF gaunt-
let's.
I've still got two hands, you
know-even when driving q
car.
Shut Out AS
Remember some years ago
when Guy Bush shut out the
Athletics in a world series
game? 1t was about the only
chance we National LeaguerS
had for cheering in that par
ticular series, and, as I re-
member the philippe you turned
out on the Mississippi mud cat
was a masterpiece of keen
writing and pungent expression.
Anw now prowling around in
the official figures (when bet
ter providers are produced, Bill,
the Fricks will produce 'em)
proving around in the fig
ures I find you've been JUS
titled.
There are today in the Ma
tional League, just So pitch
ers who, during their life
time have figured in 20 or
more pitching decisions. And
of that lot there's only one
who holds the winning edge
over every club he has faced.
And that one is Guy Bush,
about whom you wrote all
those flowery phrases.
Two hundred twenty-five
games he's pitched-and not a
single club in the league has
been able to top him. The
Cardinals come the closest.
The score between Bush and
the Birds at the beginning Of
the season was Is to 14-but
Guy has added another since
the season opened.
Easiest Club
And the easiest club in the
league? Why even you would
guess that, Bill. It's our old
pals from across the bridge
Brooklyn. They're cousins
to the whole Bush family
and every time Guy needs an.
other feather in his cap he
steps out and gets himself an
other Robin.
Twenty-One times he has
made the Dodgers roll over and
say uncle" and only nine
times have the BroOklyns been
able to do SO much as lay a
glove on him-Or should 1 say
bat" At my youthful age
those figures of speech still are
a bit bOthersome.
But 1 hadn't intended to
ramble to this extent, Bill.
What 1 had intended was to
point out the. vast number of
interesting facts that can be
evolved from some of those
figures sent you by the Ma
tiOnal League Service Bureau
(adv.) You really must have
your granddaughter read them
to you some time. You'll be
surprised. No fOOlin'. Remem-
ber me to all the boys at the
office, won't you-and if you
happen to have any hot tips
for Jamaica give me a ring. I
can use a little ready cash
right now, and the best way 1
know to fill the wallet is bet
ting against the COrum selec-
tiOnS.
Again expressing my deepest
apologies, / remain,
Sincerely,
FORD C. FRICK.
P. S.-FOr the sake of the
records that &C" stands for
Christopher, believe it or not.
