Blame for Failure OF

Most of them exude optimism for
1885. It is not hokem, but fact
and this in spite of two major
disappointments- ball and
boxing.
It just wasn't in the cards for Joe
Cronin's American League champs OF
1888 to be winners last season. The
club that opened the campaign SC
jauntily finished battered and broken
as result of a record-breaking series
of injuries. There was some excuse
for the diamond failure. For boxing
there was none.
Artistically, boxing was mild sue
cess. The fights as a whole were
entertaining; but they didn't mean
anything. Financially. boxing was q
flop.
Some placed the blame on an
innocent, IL c0lorless, boxing
commission! a body of ring
solons free from political entan-
clements and suspicion. Some
blamed 1t on the lack Of suit
able indoor sites, others on
apathetic fans. 1 still think

Built on Cabbage Patch.

y
count on the fingers of one hand
the number of times Washing
tons promoters hoped a train for
Philadelphia, New York and Boston
to round up talent. Any big-time
matchmaker will tell you that's the
only way to do business.
What Washington needs Is a pro-
moter who will pack up his tooth
brush and an extra shirt, scour the
big towns for his matches and gamble
little, all the while developing
hometown talent in the prelims
without using kids not even cut out
for fighters every week. We are sorry,
In way, that Heinie Miller was
appointed secretary to the District
Boxing Commission. He might be
the matchmaker to fill the bill. He
did 1t back In the Kenilworth and
Sportland days, and did it under
handicaps and when fighters prices
came high.
Heinie took a cabbage patch,
160 feet square, borrowed bleacher
seats from Clark Griffith, ringside
seats from Catholic University, and
built tin fence around II. Guards
were needed to keep radiator caps
from being stolen. The Kenilworth
Club offered nothing much except
fights and fighters, and 1t cost 400
bucks a week to run.
Yet, according to Bill Durham, who
was secretary-treasurer at Kenil-
worth, and who still has substantial
ing figures, 20 shows at the little
Maryland club drew $95,000 With
no travel involved, comparatively, the
Riding and Hunt Club, the only cur
rent financial success, has drawn less
than $40.00 for 20 shows. The Hunt
Clubs biggest gate was $2,700; Ken

The above is a fairly good pic
ture of fishing over the weekend
as we found it. Saturday at Solo
mons no one caught anything but
mosquitoes. On Sunday very few
boats left the docks.
Little Caught
On the upper bay there has
been very little caught for the
past week. Sunday morning two
small catches of not over 20 hard
heads came in, the largest run
ming Scant two pounds.
Early last week DR.. E. w. Cross,
prominent Pittsburg surgeon, his
two sons, Earl and Robert, in COM
pany with Talbot Denmead, of the
Bureau of Fisheries, visited the
Gooses at the mouth of the Little
Choptank and caught 200 pounds
of hardheadS and just two trout.
The fish bit hard and were caught
in less than three hours, some
weighing as much as four pounds.
The fish that were not disposed OF
by the party were donated to a
charitable institution.
Friday night at Kopel's Point,
the fishing was good if you don't
mind taking them small. With
bloodWorms for bait, the spot were
biting as fast as you could get
your line to the bottom. A party
of four on the cruiser Argosey,
from Washington, caught them
faster than one man could string
them. Our party caught small
hardheadS, small blues and one
trout, using soft crabs and shrimp
for bait. Not much for a 60-mile
trip.
At S. w. Middle is a different
story. The blues have been run
ming there for the past five days.
Two catches reported Friday had

six pounds. Sunday Doc Prescott
