Romon Flag Is Deemed
Donoerous Contender

1t could be Roman Flag. Roman
Flag trained late and may not be
ready till the Belmont meeting is
well under way, but around his
stable they insist that he is a better
horse than Dit, who comes from
the same barn and wears the silks
Of Arnold Hanger. If the Flag is
better than Dit he's a good horse,
for Dit is honest and consistent and
will push the good ones all year
long. He might have won the Derby
If Bimelech had not carried him
wide on the last turn, going around
Roman.
Altogether, the speculation of the
critics is not very complimentary
to Gallahadion and I would not
blame this belittled mustang If he is
out to callers from the press from
now on. First, after all, is the best
you can finish in race like the
Derby, with its old-fashioned rules.
Lucky or not, the son of Sir
Gallahad Sd is up there now and
the campaign to consign him to
the glueworks will have to wait
until somebody knocks him down.

In the Bush and Gunpowder Rivers.
The disease was discovered only q
few weeks ago, but already the Con-
servation Commission and members
Of the Maryland State Fish and
Game Protective Association are
trying to discover its cause and stop
its spread.
DR.. r. v. Truitt, biologist Of
the Chesapeake Laboratory
and University Of Maryland,
believes he has discovered the
cause.
He thinks 1t is the fiuke larvae or
nat worm. That parasite may not
be the exact cause, but it opens the
way for infection. The fiat worm
attacks the eyes, which become in
famed. Sores develop and when
the skin is broken other agencies
may get in their work. Pollution
apparently has nothing to do with it
because DR.. Truitt has made tests of
all waters in which sick fish have
been found and the conditions were
passable.
Maryland black bass, and other
species, too, are having a hard
enough fight for survival with both
heavy sporting and commercial
catch annually, and unless this dis
ease is checked 1t may be curtains.
The State authorities are not idle,
and the disease, discovered only
about month ago, is being fought
by every available agency.
Hardhead Fishing Started.
Better news from Maryland
waters is that the hardhead season
Is open with bang. Benedict re-
ports good catches yesterday and
another spot where fishing was ex-
cellent was Piney Point on the Lower
Potomac. In the upper section of
Chesapeake Bay, the first real catch

section.
Capt. Eddie Bowen of Solomons
has seen several schools surfacing
around his area, but no fish have
been caught 50 far. Predictions are
that bay fishing for rock is going to
be better than ever this season.
Each Of the last four years has been
better than the succeeding one and
the striped bass at least is one fish
which Is increasing rather than de-
creasing With blues scarce as they
have been recently, 1t isn't hard to
suppose that the stripers will take

Virginia Trout Fishing.
Down in Virginia for bit of trout
fishing, We took occasion Sunday to
cover practically the whole length of
Jermiahs Creek, or Jermy's Run as
the natives call it. That supposedly
is one of the best Virginia streams
around here and it does have lot of
fish. 1t also isn't half as heavily
fished as are the Maryland streams
Of Hunting and Fishing Greek.
Plenty of fish are in the water, but
their size is pathetic.
Virginia laws require you
to keep all you catch with no
size limit and we saw fish
after fish no more than 3
inches long.
Not more than one fish in 20 was
over Z inches and the best we saw
was taken by a youngster of about
IL years. He had q dozen fish in
