Appeared to Loaf.


~LIN was the sort who entered a
fight with a dead pan" and
his actions gave you the impress
sion he was in there to do the least
amount of work for his money. Bob
disproved that when he went out Of
town to fight Martin Levandowski.
Levandowski then was handled by
an old fighter, Billy Freas, who taught
him how to use his right hand. Olin
developed a high fever and his man
ager implored him to call of the
match. Bob refused. He went through
with the fight and was on the floor
several times before the referee stop
ped the unequal contest. You cannot
call fellow of that type q gutter.

on Lewis.
Lewis may have a weak chin. he
wobbles when hit solidly. But Olln
has not shown that kind of punching
power. Lewis is the smarter boxer
and may outwit Olin, who will at
tempt to make it an inside fight. If
he does, Olin will have hard job
convincing the fans he is genuine
champion.
In justice to Olin. opinion must be

FEUD OF BIRD DOGS

Pointers, Settlers.

By the Associated Press.
A LBANY, Ga, January 12.-Blue-
~ bloods of the dog kingdom will
renew their ancient pointer
setter feud next week on plantations
near this South Georgia city.
It's the field trial season in Dixie.
Sportsmen from all parts of the coun-
try will tramp over stubble fields with
their dogs in search Of the willy Bob
White and the honors that go to

After many years the pointers and
the long-haired settlers stand about

clans probably will never be settled,
but the war goes on.
Field trials are traditional in the
South. Many meets are held every
Winter, climaxed by the famous grand
national. the hunting dogs world Sc
ries, at Grand Junction, Tenn.
But the tournament of noses" be-
gins in this section with the Con-

Dishes 1t Out to R0sey.

r EWIs plunged his right hand so
hard into Make Rosenblooms
midriff that the latter went
down on his launches and hollered
''foul." It was clean punch, and
the referee refused to allow Roseys
claim. Instead, he gave the light
heavyweight champion five-rninute
rest and ordered him to resume the
fight. Lewis took up where he left
off and gave Rosenbloom a thorough
hiding.
Olin was unable to knock Rosen-
bloom off his feet in IS rounds. How
he expects to circumvent the Negro's
superior punching power Is causing
no end of discussion. Olin's friends
assert that all Bob needed to bring
out his latent ability was a world
championship. Now that he has
reached this goal, he will be differ
ent fighter, they say. There Is some
thing in that.
Olin never took the fight game
seriously until last year. trip to
the coast gave him a different view
Of the game. Usually the Brooklynite
would 60 into a shell Of cautiousness
# his punches did not have damaging
effect in the early rounds. He acted
as though he wanted to continue the
fight to the end without risking facial
Disagreement. All that was changed
when he stopped Bob Goodwin in one
round. showing q new brand OF cour-
age and aggressiveness. It was these
traits which won him the decision
over Rosenbloom.

WANTS EARLY WORK
Yale Would Advance Grid Drill
Start Date Five Days.

Yale foot ball coaches want the
date of preliminary practice advanced
five days-from September Is to Sep
tember 10. DR.. Angel, Yale president,
has manifested such sympathy as may
be read in his expressed willingness
to permit discussion as to the advisa-
bility of such a move with Harvard
and Princeton.
Harvard seems to be against the
change. Perhaps they think up there
that in breaking Crimson tradition in
respect to the job of head coach, they
have been sufficiently revolutionary.
Princeton is on the fence, having
no strong prediction for the earlier
date and yet not SO strongly COM
mitted to the mid-September rule as
to be willing to fight for it.

~ T. LOUIS. Jess Willard, still
- smiling although hit nearly as
\ hard by the depression as by
Jack Dempsey. steps up to join
the perennial debate over who was
the greatest heavyweight.
Big Jess picks Jack johnson. the
man from whom he won the title;
not Jack Dempsey, the man to whom
he lost 1t.
THE greatest heavyweight Of all
time?" The first man-mountain to
hold the title paused only moment.
"I think Jack johnson must have
been the greatest. He was a wonder
full boxer and in our fight at Havana
he was amazingly clever. He could
punch and was hard to hit. Although
old and heavy, he fought 26 rounds
under broiling sun. And that takes
courage!"
Willard thinks Dempsey caught
him on the down grade after four
years of idleneSs.
Still in Good Trim.
WILLARD, one-time $40-a-month
w cowhand, at Al is minus the
fortune he accumulated by
fighting and promoting a Wild West
show, and is touring the sticks

"I had to 60 back to work." he
remarked during a tanning bee dur
ing a stop-over in st. Louis recently
Oil lands, real estate and even his
California butcher shop have been
taken from him, but he's getting
along fine"
But Big Jess manner and appear
ance would not cause one to suspect
that his fortune had vanished. Only
a few gray hairs show in his dark
thatch. He weighs 270 pounds, only
2o-odd pounds more than he weighed
when he fought Dempsey Is years

And here's flsherman's luck-the first

credit for bringing this fish alongside
must be given Capt. Smithy. who is
a fine boatman and knows every inch

of Key Largo. He maneuvered the
boat to relieve me of much of the

him. I still am sore and terribly
tired. I also scraped the skin off my

sport, and when you come this way
try Key Largo for sailfish. This man

w We HAVE been asked about
M the chance of landing
v v rockf1sh in the lower Po-
tomac off Tall Timbers.
Capt. c. H. Overton at Piney Point
says he has not been out owing to
heavy fog which has hung over the
river for the last week, but that on the
first good day he is going to try his
luck with rockfish and let us know
the result.
Virtually all local anglers visiting
Florida this Winter have caught
sailfish or two, or at least have had
the satisfaction of hooking one.
Recei....y we received two letters
from Florida, the first from Harold
Vermule, a member of the District
chapter of the Isaak Walton League.
He said:
IT wanted to write you and let you
know how is the fishing down here in
Florida, but did not get out in the
Gulf Stream until yesterday Sunday.
1t is very hard to get in with party
that is already made up, so took my
wife and boy with me. We went out
in the afternoon and the wife and the
mate on the boat caught some dolphin,
but I could not get the hook in any Of
them.
Il was using a 250-yard reel with
200 yards of 24-pound test line and a
light tackle rod, when got rap from
sailfsh. I hooked him after I
dropped the back back 35 or 40 feet.
He started to go and had a speed of
approximately 60 miles an hour, TAX
ing out all my line in about 20 seconds.
The captain of the boat said he esti-
mated the sail to be 7 feet long and to
weigh about 10 pounds.
II have more respect for a sailf1sh
now and you can bet I will use the
captains 500-yard reel with 500 yards
Of 72-pound test line the next time
I get chance to fish in the Gulf
Stream. The big one got away this
time, sure"
"HE second letter was from Jesse
Loeb, local angler and member
of the IZaak Walton Chapter.
He is publisher also of the yearbook
of the local chapter, which contains
many interesting facts concerning pis-
catorial matters. His letter, from Key
Largo, approximately 80 miles below
Miami, said:

r ATE Friday afternoon I received

IL my first report of the 1885 fish
ing season. Don Carpenter, we'll
known local angler, informed me he
had received a letter from j. M.
Leavell of the Atlantic Rod and Gun
Club at Atlantic, N. c., saying that
the ocean down his way was furnish
ing plenty of sport for the anglers,
and that red drum or channel bass
and sea trout were numerous.
Such a report from the North Car
DINA coast at this tina of the year
is unusual. Ordinarily these fish do
not make their appearance in these
waters until some time in March. A
mild Winter evidently is the reason
these fish are so far up the coast
at this time.
The Winter or hickory shad have
made their appearance in our own
waters, number of them being
caught in the wire mesh at the Ben
ming power plant on the Eastern
Branch of the Potomac River. Usu-
ally these honey fish do not make
their appearance in our waters until
March. At present all signs point to
an early Spring as far as the denizens
of the deep are concerned, and if we
don't have any extreme cold, with
temperatures low enough to cover the
rivers and Chesapeake Bay with ice,
we can look for the first run of fish
at least a month sooner than last year.
