Now Leads Riders on Coast.

Born on q ranch near Cleveland,

went into slump.
Earlier this year, when things

HARLEs JACKSON, deputy
commissioner of the Bureau
of Fisheries, and Lee Barnes
~ were fishing guests of Jim
Barnes (no relation) at Higgins Mill
Pond over on the Eastern Shore few
days ago. The country over there
isn't exactly wild and woolly, but bass
do grow to nice size. The first day
they had no luck, but went back the
next day and pulled out large mouths
one after another. They accounted
for 18 bass and pike.
What makes this story interesting is
the size of the biggest bass caught.
It fell to the lot of Lee Barnes, who
used a shimmy wiggler to lure 1t on,
and 1t weighed exactly 724 pounds
when captured. A bass Of that size
seldom is heard of around these parts,
but Charlie jackson vouches for 1t.
It Is the second largest ever taken from
Higgins Pond, the largest being
claimed by Jim Barnes.
A dolphin is considered one Of
the most beautiful fish that
swims, and II you want to see
how one looks when fresh caught
and before the colors begin to
fade, drop over to Jackson's
office in the Commerce Building.
He has q mounted specimen as q
reminder Of that trip we all took
down to Florida last July. There were
IL of us in the party and every one
caught something, but few Of US
thought to have our prizes mounted
for posterity. jackson also has q
sailfish and vicious barracuda to keep
the dolphin company, and they really
are fine examples of the taxidermist's s
art.
HAPPY days are ahead for trout
fishermen. Up in the White
Mountain National Forest in New
Hampshire, c. G. c. boys have been at
work constructing fish hatchery at
York Pond, which will be the Bureau
of Fisheries chief source of supply for

and that means Maryland and Virginia
as well as every other State with trout

Unable to hold an early lead, Alcova

Lee Zones, erstwhile star of George

through the entire Alcova team for
touchdown. Late in the last quar-
ter Pullman climaxed a sustained So

SzRpB AND STREAMS Is
V GEORGE HUBER
By GEORGE HUBER.

Although the c. C. c. originally was
established to supply the man power
for reforestation work, they have been
put to work all over the country aid
ing anglers and hunters, Robert Fech-
ner, director of emergency conserva-
tions work, tells us. Even tree plant
ing work has helped in that it has
slowed erosion, which muddies streams,
and has supplied cover and food for
game.
A brief resume Of the corps
activities shows that it has con.
.structed more than $500 rear
ing ponds and have aided in the
improvement and stocking OF
streams and lakes.
This stream improvement idea is an
interesting bit or work that will help
trout and bass fishermen. In some
places logs, stones or trees are placed
to retard the current, in other places
such distractions are removed and
rearing ponds built. Incidentally,
Maryland is experimenting with the
stream improvement idea in Hunting
Creek, near Thurmont.
THE Biological Survey has acquired
about six and one-half million
acres OF land for wildlife refuge, and
c. c. c. manpower has been called
in to make many Of these refugees suit
able for birds. For instance, they've
been at work in Reaches Run over on
the other side Of the river. Dams have
been constructed in many places to
keep a constant water supply flowing
and stabilize the level Of shallow areas
to permit the growth Of vegetation
that will furnish food for birds.
Where food plants were, lack
ing, the C. C. C. has collected
them from other areas and
planted them in the refugees.
Nesting islands have been built
Fences have been erected to protect
wild life food and cover from destruc-
ton by stock. Erosion control work
has been carried on to prevent sitting
of waterfowl ponds and to protect the
ranges Of big game animals.
II this sort Of work keeps up, we
may have our redhead and canvasback
ducks back on the open list, and We
no longer will have to be ornitholo-
gists every time We step into . blind

Jacobs Makes Ten Strike.

JACODS MAKES lcn-Str1ke.
JACOBS scored l0-strike when he
backed his opinion and cash on
colored man coming through in the
fashion Joe Louis has. The Detroit
Negro was only a fair attraction
around Chicago when Jacobs decided
to take a chance by putting him in
with Primo Camera. The latter had
broken with the Garden management
and was open to the first big bidder
Jacobs was that man. He signed the
Italian and invested a few more of
his thousands of dollars by tieing up
the Negro to five-year contract.
That piece Of paper has paid more
dividends during the short time 1t has
been in force than that of several
champions prior to Louis time On
the strength of this bargain, Jacobs
has just reason to become excited
when his business judgment is ques-
toned or compared with others he
thinks have never put over stroke to
match with that one deal.
The Braddock-Louis match may
never come off Jacobs is not unduly
concerned whether it does or not He
figures in any way that the 1887
heavyweight big matches come out,
and if Joe Louis is to be passed up,
Uncle Mixes contract with the Negro
gives him selling point whenever
outstanding matches are on tap. Brad
dock is under contract for only one
fight for the Garden forces. There
after, Joe Gould will be receptive to
the highest bid and Jacobs is prepared
to do just that. He well can afford
to feel elated, even though some un-
feeling critics claim he was the one
to loan Muggsy Taylor the ten 10000
notes he produced to silence the skep-
tics and put the heat on Braddock-
Louis match.

Jacobs CAN'T SEE
| PROFIT COMING UP
Louis Manager Not Greatly
Concerned Over Scrap
With Braddock.
BY SPARROW McGANN.

n VEW YORK, November 30
mi Mike Jacobs does not "blow'
" about his prowess as a keen
q business man. It Is hard to
get Uncle Mike to talk about the
deals he has under way. About the
only way to get Jacobs to talk, other
than through his press counselor, Is
to chide him about the smart deals
put over by the boxing director OF
Madison Square Garden and then
Mike breaks out with a rash of words.
One such rare occurrence happened
when the proposed Jimmy Braddock-
Joe Louis no decision contest at At
lantic City, N. j., was under discus
sion by group of fight writer's in the
lobby of the Hippodrome The writ
ers had gazed with gaping eyes on
ten $4,000 bills In the hands OF
Muggsy Taylor. Count 'em and feel
'em, boys, they are real U. S. cur
rency," suggested Taylor. They are
for Braddock just as soon as he signs
up. And I'll hand him 20 more OF
the same kind after the fight"
No Bargain for Garden.
THERE was no mistake about the
genuineness Of the money. What
some of the more skeptical writer's
wanted to know, however. was how
the Garden contract calling for a
meeting between Braddock and Max
Schmeling could be overcome.
When did the Garden give up any
thing 1t had signed and sealed?"
asked one inquiring scrivener.
That was the cue for Uncle Mike
to step in. "Ill tell you one time
they will give up, and that gladly.
Just let me tell you the terms of the
Notwithstanding fight and after
that you might believe the Garden
would be glad to give up and be
tickled about it.
"Braddock is down for 42la per cent.
Schmeling gets 20 per cent. That
makes total of 62l2 per cent. There
is but 37i2 per cent left. After I cut
IN for half. that means the Garden
will have something like 20 per cent
left to pay expenses etcetera. Now, if
you know any promoter who ever made
any money with such percentage. es-
pecially in a big show, I would like to
know his name"
With this. one Of his unusually
lengthy speeches. Mike Jacobs left
the boys to think it over and give him
credit for holding the upper hand in
heavyweight affairs for the time be-
ing.
