THAT northeaster which had been

holding down the size Of
= catches, finally has departed
for other parts, SO now we may really
catch some fish. Tuesday and We'd
nesday were the days when it was
really bad, so bad, in fact, that all fish,
even the rocks, went into hiding.
Naturally, reports are either nom
existant or are very rneager, but We
know what to expect this time of the
year, and all that is needed is warm
weather and once again anglers will
be able to pull back on curving rod
and bring in some big ones.
Down at Solomons they really are

when they come into that section.
Capt. Harry Woodburn Is putting in

They hope that If they feed the blues
plenty of chum. even when not fish

around Solomons instead Of going up
to the Gooses. Blues prefer the deeper
water at the Gooses to the compare
lively shallow water at Cove Point
and of Cedar and Drum Points. It's
just possible. though, that they will
stay around Solomons If they find the
food plentiful.

the result Of broken neck suf-
fered In q preliminary match with
Jack Donovan last night before the
largest grapple bill crowd Of the year
at Griffith Stadium.
Added to the card merely to give
spectators their usual five matches,
Romano, former italian heavyweight
champion, and Donovan met In the
first match of the evening. Five
thousand fans, awaiting the four
Dusek brothers in following bouts,
failed to become aroused over the
mild milling.
After Donovan and Romano had
tossed each other about in compare
lively gentle style for 13 minutes, the
blond Donovan eased Mike to the
mat, clamped on a combination head
scissors and wrist lock and proceeded
to apply pressure. 1t was at this
point that Donovan later stated Ro-
mano went limp. Donovan released
the pressure, Romano Topped back
on the canvas and Referee Cyclone
Burns counted the Italian out.
Romano Popular Here.
A THOUGH he failed to rate fea-
ture bookings here, Romano had
been extremely popular with local
fans for more than a decade. Always
a clean wrestler, Mike fell by the way
side when flying tackles, kneeing and
elbow swinging were introduced to the
game. His lack of color, despite his
wrestling ability, made him a poor
drawing card.
Romano who was 40 years old, in
flicted as much punishment as he abb
sorbed prior to the final hold which
Donovan applied. The bout, sched-
uled for 80 minutes, was devoid Of the
usual rough tactics. Few fans realized
that Romano, carried from the mat on
a stretcher and rushed to Freedmen's
Hospital, was dead.
The four Dusek brothers then went
into action, and the majority Of spec
tators, who regarded the Romano
Donovan mishap merely as an acci-
dent, quickly forgot the opening bout.

n YEW YORK.-The streaking
shadows Of the Olympic
" straightaways four years ago
L at Los Angeles marked not
only the return Of sprint supremacy
to the United States, but the begin
ming Of an ebony epoch.
The American Negro's ascendency,
gained by the twin triumphs of Michi-
gan's bespectacled little Eddie Tolan
in the tenth Olympiad, with dusky
Ralph Metcalfe of Marquette in pur-
suit, now has become firmly estab-
lished. The white boys of today are
no more q match for their coffee
colored rivals in sprinting than the
pale faces of frontier days were in
their attempts to outrun the redskins.
Owens May Succeed ToIan.
THERE may be many slip be-
tween now and the first week Of
August in Berlin, but it's conceivable
American Negroes will run at least 1-2
in the Olympic dashes. If dusky
Eulace Peacock Of Temple, national
champion, RECEIVERS fully from pulled
tendon. they may make it 1913 in the
classic 100 meters for the United
States.
Peacock last year beat Europe's
best with monotonous ease, but our
two top sprinting bets now are Jesse
Owens, the great Ohio State athlete,
and Metcalfe, 20o-meter national
champion for the last four years.
Rated OF his Spring form, Owens has
a good chance to duplicate Tolan's
double. He has equaled the world
record Of 94 seconds for 100 yards
on two occasions. The veteran Met
calfe. conditioning himself slowly for
the Olympics. Is more powerfully built
and favored by majority of coaches
to show peak form in Berlin.
In 1882 Metcalfe, then just a COL
lege sophomore, lost an eyelash de-
cision to Tolan in the closest 100
meter finish in Olympic history He
ran third to Tolan and George Simp-
son of Ohio State in the 200. Tolan
subsequently turned professional.
Simpson has retired.
Uncle Sam Seems Safe.
THUS. barring mishap or the comet
like rush Of a Percy Williams
to the fore, there appears nothing
for Uucle Sam to worry about In
this years Olympic dashes. Williams,
the slim Canadian, was the first and
only sprinter to administer a coat Of
whitewash to the Americans. He
did it in 1928, the year that marked
the low ebb IN this countrys Olympic
foot-racing fortunes Frank Wykoff' s
fourth place in the 100 and jackson
Scholz's third in the 200 were our
best at Amsterdam.
Tolan set new Olympic records
in both dashes four years ago, but
his marks may take a beating from
the double-barreled attack of Owens
and Metcalfe. Owens raced the 22O
in 20.3 seconds last year. Metcalfe
shares the listed world mark OF 206
for the 200 meters as well as the
standard Of 1913 for the metric CEN
tury.
Whereas speedy sons of the British
Empire alone have interrupted Amer
icas Olympic sprint conquests here
tofore, it appears the strongest oppo-
sition this year may come from Ger
many. Switzerland or Japan. Arthur
Jonath Of Germany was the only real
foreign threat to the Americans four
years ago. The Swiss. Haenni. end
Japan's Yoshioka. finalist IN the
100 at Los Angeles, rate chances to
score, at least, in Berlin.

still fishing for them, but all they are
able to catch are hardheads and more
hardheads, with an occasional trout
finding its way into the boat.
Hardheads are all over the Bay,
though. Just before that northeaster
