The great majority of local sports

900 LaSSie Stake, richest race for
fillies in America this year, at
Arlington Park today.
Motto, regarded as the best filly in
the East, was so much the best of
the field of eight that went to the
post that Jockey Raymond Workman
was just out for a ride coming down
the stretch and kept looking back to
see where the others were.
Motto, the 2-year-old daughter of
Sir Gallahad, 3d-Maxima. racing
for the sixth time of her career, won
by three lengths, with Toro Nancy,
an outsider in the betting, second
and Bye Lo third, two lengths farther
back Irksome was fourth.
Motto became the leading money
winning 2-year-old of the year. She
won $22,510 today, bringing her total
to $28,080. She ran the furlongs,
eased up, in 1885.
DING to the post a favorite,
N Motto paid $4.38 to win, s348

was $14.70 to place, with $500 to
show, while Bye Lo, the entry of Mrs.

Motto Is regarded by Trainer Tom
Healey as one of the most promising

~ resi- WATER anglers will
find the Shenandoah and Po-
= tomac Rivers clear at Harpers
l. Ferry. The river around Wash
ington is discolored, but in
Gunston Cove, Capt. Aubrey Shepard
reports, the upper part Of the cove
Is perfectly clear and the lower end
a little discolored. The discoloration,
however, he says, comes from the
vegetation in the water and not from
mud.
Since the opening of the bass sea-
son in GunSton Cove the largest
catch by any angler has been eight
bass and one pike. Others have
landed four, five and six bass. The
majority of the fish are being taken
with the use of flies and other arti-
fetal lures, but one angler landed
five bass using live minnows. A V1r-
ginia fishing license is required in
this cove.
According to an Associated Press
dispatch from Richmond, they are
not exactly considering traffic cops
for fishing boats in Chesapeake Bay,
but the number of fishermen is draw
ing attention.
Long noted for fine saltwater fish
ing, Virginias coastal waters are
drawing thousands of fishermen these
days from Virginia and other States,
as the season reaches its height.
What's more, they are all catching
plenty of fish. So many persons are
finding recreation by fishing in Viz
ginia waters that the Virginia State
Chamber of Commerce decided to
conduct a survey. 1t showed prac-
tically every f-hing boat engaged for
the last week end. An investigation
was then conducted to ascertain
what type of catches were being made
which showed assorted hauls of salt
water fishes of 300 and more from
various sections per boat.
nLUEFISHING, which ardent Wal
n tonians declare to be the finest
sport, has been unusually good
in Virginia waters. Those inclined
to the deep-sea fishing report catches
of sea trout, some weighing around
IL pounds, as well as lots of black
sea bass. Still others who prefer the
tight-line fishing, with crab for bait,
have found croakers and big spot
plentiful Founders also have been
caught weighing several pounds.
Occasionally, the clever fisherman
lands the prize of them all-the big
bonito weighing as much as SO
pounds Trolling in the rivers and
coastal waters also has resulted in
the capture of a large number of
fine rockfish weighing 10 pounds and
more.
In the upper part of the bay in
Maryland the hot weather has had its
effect on the fish. The early morn
ing angler may land Is or 80 fish
but if he employs the time, say from
5 to 10 p m, his catch may run into
the hundreds, consisting principally
of hardhead, few sea trout and an
occasional blue. The blues are in the
bay and its tributaries. but so far
have not commenced to attack in
their usual manner.
The best place to catch blues at
present Is Ocean City. Nd. Reports

stage-Prof. Joe Turner was squeez-

Just about that time he turned down
a young fellah who was broke and
wanted Joe to manage him. That
guys name was Jack Dempsey, and
the very thought of it now makes Joe
weep copious tears.
It's not an easy job telling Turner
how to run his own racket without a
comeback blowing your theory all to
bits. Goldie Ahearn has been
fighter, manager, referee and boxing
and rassling promoter, so he's not
much easier. The same goes for
Charlie Swan, who even got worms

a rassling referee.

body is gambling enough. Nobody is

dog puppy who expects to have
that puppy trained for field work
this Fall, should be starting that
training now by seeing that his puppy
is in the best possible physical condi-
ton. and that he is learning to obey
simple commands.
1t is better to have the puppy a
little too lean rather than a little too
stout, a happy medium of firm flesh
and muscle is best. The desired result
is best obtained by feeding plenty of
meat and by giving modest amount
Of supervised exercise.
In the last few years the pointers
have won most Of the prizes in the
field trials, although this record was
formerly held by the English settlers.
The reason for the reversal is thought
to be the too-intensive inbreeding of
the field trial setter with the conse-
quent gaining of too high speed and
loss Of accuracy.
