Possibility that the winner Of to-

Arena would be in line for a match
with Champion Everett Marshall was
announced today by Promoter Joe

At the same time Turner declared
that he might referee the main bout

on any other official. Dusek refuses
to rassle If Benny Bortnick is the third
man in the ring for he claims that the
official deprived him Of win over the.

Capt. Harry Woodburn Of Solomons
reports that last week was fairly good
down in his section. with some boats
bringing in IS to 20 blues and an
equal number Of rock. Too many boats
are trolling around Point Patience for
many Of the big ones up that way to be
taken. That's the way fishing goes.
When q few big fish are caught at one
spot. every boat from miles around
heads for it, and consequently none
is caught.
Ocean City likely is through
for the season 80 far as marlin
90, although blues, trout and
bottom feeders still have some
time to run.
The records show 910 marlin caught
on the party boats this year. Private
boats and those from other ports
easily took at least 100, so it is safe
to say that during the 1888 season over
1000 were caught there. q staggering

BERGMAN IS EAGER

Rain Is Preventing Much Desired
Test Of 16 Sophs-Punters
Also Are Retarded.

No college football coach in town is
praying more earnestly for the rain to
stop than Dutch Bergman out at c. o.,
for Dutch is convinced that until he
can see his squad Of 81 outdoors he's
not going to be able to make much
headway about picking his first team.
Bergman's chief question Is the capa-
bilities Of the 16 sophomores on the
squad. He has, of course. worked the
Cardinal candidates daily in c. us big
gym, but the hardwood floor offers no
similarity to turf, and Bergman is con-
vinced he isn't able to learn much.
His main desire to get outdoors is
to have every man on the squad letter
perfect in every formation which has
been given them, so that there will be
no slip-up in signals when American
University is encountered in the first
game on October /.

(September 81, 1881

The first few days Of bad weather
had no real effect on bay fishing. as
we shortly will testify, but if that
storm to the South moves up 1t likely
will make dent in If not ruin it for a
week or so. Shortly after Labor Day
Of 1896 one Of those hurricanes. pc
tered out in this section, and it almost
was curtains for the season.
Monday in all that rain the fish
were just where this column said they
were going to be, of the Calvert
County shoreline between Seaside and
Dares Beach. Capt Robert E. Lee of
Shadyside took three members of The
Star staff, Malcolm Major and New
man Sudduth of the art department
and jeff Davis, photographer. out into
the bay and started hunting.
All last week tho rock had
been breaking across from Sha-
dyside. but they were missing
Monday.
He turned southwark and shortly
after noon hit into the fish OF Sea-
side. This, being below Herring Bay
and North Beach, is somewhat out Of
Capt. Bob's territory, but he goes
where the fish go. In four hours
the party, which also included Mate
Charlie Andrews. caught 180 fish. Fifty
were trout, up to pounds, IS rock to
pounds and the rest 2 and 3 pound
blues.
All were caught trolling that little

Big One At Sharps.
On Sunday Representative Virgil
Chapman Of Kentucky and Ray Ham
ilton Of the r. F. c.. fishing with
Capt. Leroy Ward between Herring
Bay and North Beach, caught 16 blues
and 8 rock. Largest rock was 8 pounds,
and the blues averaged 4 pounds. The
same day another angler called this
department and swore up and down
that there wasn't a fish In the whole
bay. Herring Bay in particular. So
you never can tell.
Fishing also is promising over
on the other side in the mouth
Of the Choptank River.
This likely will be one Of the spots
for big blues if and when they hit.
The largest .bluef1sh caught in the
United States last year was taken on
September % over that way near
Sharps Island by Mrs. Herbert L.
Quinn. In fact the five largest were
caught in that area between Sep
tember Z and october 6. These abso-
lutely were the top fish for the coun-
try, according to Field and Stream
magazine. An interesting article on
Chesapeake Bay blues will be found in

forlorn eyes at the steady downpour

Ahearn the scrap will be staged at

hopes, will involve Steve Mamakos

is the fact Pacho requests more re-

Ahearn expected to smooth that item
today.
Gevinson, installed a 9-5 favorite
over the hard-hitting but easy-to-hit
Quarles, faces relegation to prelim-
mary roles or virtual forced retirement
unless he trounces Quarles impress
sively, for his recent spankings have
damaged his prestige considerably

strength at Congressional, which won

might be good thing for the Vir-

OF course Of the local clubs
only Washington and Army
Navy would be eligible. Belle
Haven at Alexandra would be
the other.
Clubs in Maryland couldn't squeeze
into the show because of geographical
boundaries.
I'm going to suggest to the vir-
ginia folk that they organize a State
team SERIES" said Fowler. Maybe
then We can find out just how strong
this Country Club Of Virginia team is.
They've licked us and they've licked
everything that has come their way.
But the only way We can find
out how good they are is to have
them meet all the best teams in
the State"
Maybe Ralph has something there.
