from the town of Oakland, is located
Deep Greek Lake, where the angler
will find plenty brook and rainbow
trout. Warden Elmer Haulenbeck is
in charge of this body of water. There
is comfortable lodge on the premises,
the rates are reasonable and there Is
also plenty camping space.
Heretofore to fish this body of water
there was imposed, in addition to the
Maryland license for nonresident of
IS, an additional fee of $225. We are
glad to announce that this additional
charge has been lifted and the Mary
land license is all that is required.
However, If an angler wants to spend
the week end fishing in this lake and
has no Maryland license, he can do so
by obtaining special license at the
lake. costing s225 for three days.
The bag limit in Maryland is 10
trout per day Of all species and trout
less than the legal size of 7 inches
must be returned to the water. Each
trout caught must be counted in the
days limit.
Local anglers may obtain their Mary
land or Virginia fishing license at
cost Of S. at the American Automobile
Association, keystone Automobile Club
or the Atlas Sports Store on d street,
or from the clerk Of the Circuit Court
at $3.50.
Evening star., 1936-04-01

THE season on brook, rainbow and
brown trout opens in Maryland
next Wednesday, April l, just two days
away, and from reports it is expected
that the trout streams will again be
crowded with anglers eager to land
their bag limit Of these speckled beau
ties.
Following is the menu prepared for
the anglers: 10000 brook, rainbow and
fighting brown trout, all legal size.
We think the two best-known streams
fairly close to Washington are Fishing
and Hunting Greeks, located about 16
miles above Frederick. reached by way
of the Thurmont road.
According to Talbot Denmead
chief Of the new black bass
division of the Bureau of Fisheries,
there is also good trout stream near
Hagerstown named Marsh Run.
Another stream in this vicinity is
Wright or Eckstein Run, where last
year a brown trout measuring 1884
inches was caught by Phil Reacher of
Hagerstown. This beauty weighed
pounds ounces.

there are q number of trout streams,

RiskO After Ross.

A HANDICAP match between Mid
r. dleweight Champion Babe Risko
and Ross is being considered. 1t is
no secret that the Syracuse fighter is
pretty we'll fed up on the small purses
he has been getting since winning
the title and that one-round kayo by
Jock McAvoy further dampened what
little Interest New Workers held for
him. The McAvoy upset confirmed
their opinion that Risko is just a
rough, tough slugger with little to
recommend him other than a hard
wallop and ability to absorb punish
ment.
Ross will not waste the year by stay
ing idle. There are any number Of
non-titular engagements for the ask
ing and there is a highly important
engagement planned for him in No
vember when he risks his crown
against Jack Carroll at Sydney, Aus
tra'ia. Ross has been guaranteed
5000 and $1,000 for making the long
trip. Unless Barney is up to snuff and
knows how to combat the crab-like
style employed by the Australian he is
apt to leave his title in Kangaroo

Gamble in Australia.

CARROLL will be three months shy
of 80 years old when he fights for
the world welterweight crown. He has
been fighting professionally IL years.
His style, that of coaXing lead and
covering up with arms wrapped around
his head and lashing out with short,
choopy blows when inside, did not find
favor with the fans and he went into
retirement two years ago. He was in
duced to return to the ring when
Canadian Billy Townsend, well known
in this country, played hob with Aus
tralian Welters. Carroll became popu-
lar overnight as a result of a knock
out over Townsend. Following this
showing, Carroll stopped Wesley
Ramey In 10 rounds.
This year Carroll won from Bep Van
Klavern in two 15-round fights and a
call for Barney Ross was in order
The receipts of the second fight were
only s13,500 and judging from that the
Ross-Carroll match may fall short of
meeting Barney'S guarantee. Either
that, or Carroll will be fighting for only
the chance to capture the world crown
and the promoter will be putting up
the money solely for the honor of
staging the affair.
