FISHING
According to IZAAK WALTON
BY DON CARPENTER

Chesapeake Bay fishing is good,
and no kidding-I have just re-
turned from the bay where I have
fished every day for six consecu-
tive days.
Trying to definitely prove my
theories on night versus day ang-
ling, I stayed at Camp Roosevelt
just below Chesapeake Beach for
a week and fished every night and
during the day time. and when I
stopped Sunday night, was con-
vinced that night fishing during
hot weather was the tops"
Day fishing proved to be best
in deep water most anywhere, but
nearly all the fish were very small.
The bait used seemed to make
little difference-cut spot, blood
worms, or shrimp. Bloodworms
seemed to have the edge on the
rest.
Night fishing was a different
story. At dark the trout or weak
fish started to hit and by 9 O'Clock
the really big hardheadS arrived
and from then on what sport we
had. Fish from two to three and
one-half pounds were caught regu-
larly. lost a half dozen rigs to
large fish that broke the six-thread
line I was using, but landed many
times that number of old yellow
bellies that put up as sweet fight
on my switchy rod as I can re-
member. You can't horse" those
big hardheads and believe me they
really took line.
The spot were in but ran small
on the average. Trout ran small
but are increasing in size. caught
no blues, although I trolled many
miles for them. Pan rock are work
ing in water about 80 feet deep. I
did not get any King William
perch and have been wondering
what has become of them. They
should be biting now, and believe
it-or.not I did not catch a toad
fish although 1 did get two eels
that did their best mess up
my gear.

are tied for first place with New
York with two victories and no de-
featS.
With the babies of the team,
Harry Hofberg and Phil Bound
ford leading the offensive with
three hits apiece, the Washing
tonians slashed out is hits to de-
feat Detroit, 13 to 4. Lefty"
Bean, the string bean hurler, linn
tied the Auto City lads to eight
scattered hits and famed three.
HOFBERG SHINES
Hofberg's hits were a triple and
two singles. while Boundford's
were three well-hit singles. Hof-
berg also gave a neat exhibition
of high class fielding around Sec
ond base, handling five chances
with faultless ability, and three
were of spectacular varieties.
The New Workers found Balti-
more a tough team to crack, nos
ing out the lads from the Monu-
mental City. 5 to 4, in a we'll
played game. Our neighboring
city nine outhit the Gotham team,
IA to II, but the New York aggre-
cation hit little better in the
pinches. Cooney worked on the
hill for the winners, while Ring
dorf pitched for the losers. Derch-
mont. Licato and Lelchuk were

der MAX" BACK,
DEMANDS RIGHTS
BY DAVIS ]. WALSH


International News Service Sports Editor
NEW YORK, Aug. 18. - The
Middle Atlantic champion, Max
Siegfried Schmeling, who is some
times coming, sometimes going but
generally in the middle. is paying
us his quarterly visit today, arriv-
ing on the Bremen with the an
nounced purpose Of demanding his
rights.
Among the many who will not
be there to meet him this time Is
Promoter Mike Jacobs, who re-
spects the rights of others, and al
ways protects his own.
1t is even said that among those
who will never meet him, except
maybe by chance encounter on the
street some day, is the Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis.
Anyhow, this is Schmeling's
eighth trip across the Atlantic
during the last IA months in an
attempt to confirm the report that
he is the leading challenger for the
title, a role he was presumed to
have duly qualified for last year
when he knocked Louis as rigid
as plate glass window in a non
championship fight. Instead, Louis
got the elderly Braddock, Schmel-
ing got plenty of pavement and
Louis got the title.
Moreover, he's . generously let
ting Schmeling keep the pavement,
for one week from tomorrow night
he's meeting Tommy Farr, the
pride of Tonypandy, Wales, by
way of making his first defense of
the championship. In other words,
the closest Schmeling has been
able to get to the title in all this
time is the first row ringside.
However, he's pretty good "hol-
Ter guy" even in his Weber &
Fields dialect, and so he'll prob
ably go down to the boxing com.
mission, where he'll get a lot of
double-talk from General Phelan
and the right to leave the build.
ing by the front door, provided he
goes quiet. The commission told
him the last time not to worry;
that everything was going to be
all right.
He'll "holler" to the newspaper
men on shipboard and later in his
hotel suite. But they don't make
matches; they only write about
them. He may "holIer" some
more at and after the Farr fight
and, before that, he may pay g
strictly "holler" call upon Pro
moter Jacobs. But, personally,
thought it was significant of some
thing when the latter declared to
day:
Il won't call upon Schmeling.
He knows where to find me.
He also knows my terms. Well
talk business that way or not at
all. I'm tired Of working for
. him."
Briefly it would seem that tha'

Too, there was Charlie ''Windy"

Clark Griffith nor Joe Engel

Union Station, Charlie eased his
spending purse to "Slim," ad-

him-until they got back.
Anyway, Washington has had
phenomenal success in the
printer baseball tournaments as
the years sped by.
It won its first tournament in
1918, in Pittsburgh. Fortune
didn't smile on them again until
1922, when the Cleveland tour
nament ended in a Washington
success. Then came four fat
years, followed by a lean one
and then two successful tries.
Detroit came through in 1888
and Washington dominated
again in '34 and '35. Last year
Chicago won and is this year de-
Tending the title. All of these
dates may not be precise-but,

Back in 1910 when an automo-

the scene of a different kind of
an International Union Printers
Baseball Tournament.
In those days a mustache was
a vital part of players parapher-

rub" his mustache before taking
his turn at the plate for luck.
Those old timers were a colorful
set of players. Edgar "Bevo"
Brown, who sets type in The Times
composing room, and who was on
the arrangement committee in
1910, claims that they played bet
ter baseball in those days than
they do now.
WERE GOOD IN 1910
Despite the fact Washington had
a crack jack team, it finished
fourth in 1910, so keen was the
competition. Such famous old
timers as Eddie Goucher, Dilsaver,
Jim Elicit, Jim Weaver, McNeill,
Bob Saunders, Tony SueSS, Frank
Thornburg, Bruce Wilhide, Elmer
Boyd and George Boyd, graced the
locals lineup when Bevo Brown
was a young and handsome gentle
man.

Auto Accident Death
 Rate Hits New Peak
First Quarter Totals of Present eYar Highest Ever
 Recorded in Any Similar Period

New York, N. Y.-The death rate from automobile accidents among the 17,500,000 industrial policyhold- CTS of the Metropolitan Life Insur- ance Company for the first quarter of 1887 was the highest ever record ed in any similar three-months period among this representative group of wage-earners, according to the statisticians of the insurance company. But exactly the opposite was true with respect to diseases incidental to childbirth, for the death rate from this cause-71 per 100,000-was the lowest ever estab- lished for a first quarter period, and about 50 per cent lower than the rate 10 years ago. An increase in tuberculosis mortality was reflected in a death rate which, for the first time since 1929, exceeded the pre- vious years record for this season.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-06-18

From all causes combined, the mor- tality rate for the first quarter of 1887 was nearly per cent greater than the 1886 figure. being 98 per 1000 lives exposed for 1897 and 9.4 per 1000 for the corresponding per- iod last year.
 Despite the increase in the tuber- culosiS death rate, the situation has improved since January, the statis- ticians say. For, though this years January figure was 8.8 per cent above last years at the end of the first three months this excess had been reduced to 3.6 per cent.
 While the general increase in mortality was due primarily to an outbreak of influenza and pneu- monia in January and February, other separate causes contributing to this increase were cancer, dis eases of the heart and coronary ateries, appendicitis and the various forms of external violence-includ- ing automobile accidents which last mentioned alone showed an in- creases of IA per cent and 36 per cent respectively in their death rates.
 Counterbalancing in part in un- favorable factors in the mortality picture were improvements in the death rates from such diseases as syphilis, cerebral hemorrhage, chronic nephritis, diarrhea and enteritis, and diseases of hte puer- peral state.
 While the cancer death rate of 95.9 per 100000 for the first three months of 1897 was appreciably higher than the rate for the same period of 1886, the statisticians point out that the cancer mortality was somewhat lower than that re- ported for the first quarter of either 1885 or 1884, and has possibly about reached its peak.
 Although health conditions among the Metropolitan Industrial policy holders in Canada were somewhat better than in the United States, the Canadian death rate was about 2 per cent. higher for the first quarter of the year in 1887 than for the first three months of 1886.

ExOnerated!

Leo Caron of 93 Kelsey street, Waterbury, was dissolved of crim- inal responsibility yesterday by Coroner James J. Corrigan of New Haven in connection with an ac-: cident which took place on Amity road in Woodbridge on June 2, at which time George Spencer of 279 Piedmont street, Waterbury, was fatally injured.
 Caron was accused as the driver of the machine by Spencer when the latter was dying at New Ha- ven hospital. Coran denied this and 1t was later shown that the car was registered in Spencer's name. The coroner found that the hearsay testimony of the deceased was of no value without some af- firmative proof.
