Maryland Game Head
Will Seek Larger
License Fees
Increase in Production
Expense Is Pointed Out
By Warden lie Compile
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 8.-State
Game Warden E. Lee lie Compile ad-
vised county agricultural agents,
county advisory councils and the
numerous Maryland hunting and
fishing organizations today that the
State Game and Inland Fish Com
mission will request legislation for
an increase in the hunting and
fishing license fees.
The commission recommends in
creases ranging from so to 100 per
cent for vavrious classes of IL
censes. The additional revenue will
be used to expand the States wild
life program. LIE Compte pointed out
that the only funds available for
stocking and breeding purposes
come from license fees, none being
supplied from the States general
fund. He also points out the in
creased cost of game and fish pro-
duction for stocking purposes.
Cottontail rabbits raised by the
State cost approximately 81 each.
Quail are 81; ruffed grouse, So:
wild turkeys, $40 to SIS; deer, $50
to $50, and pheasants, sl.50 to
$3.50. Legal-size trout and black
bass cost about 40 cents each.
These costs are for fish and game
raised at State farms and hatch
cries, no cost being included for
game or fish supplied by natural
propagation. With heavy hunting
and fishing, however, each season
1t Is necessary for the commission
to supply more artificially raised
game.
Another cost increase in running
the commission comes through its
work in connection with the Fed
eral aid to States program under
the Pittman-Robertson Act. This
law supplies Federal money for fish
and game refuge areas if the State
also puts up half the money and
administers the work.
Among other requests for legisla-
tion being considered by the COM
mission is one prohibiting trans
portation of black bass out of the
State. Maryland is one of the few
States which still permit CONNER
cial netting of bass, although local
laws in Baltimore and two or three
cities prohibit their sale. 1t is pro-
posed also that law be enacted re-
quiring field trial clubs to obtain a
license costing IS a year. At presA
ent the provilege to run a field trial
Is granted free by the commission.

Holmes, Leadoff Man,

By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
One Of the main factors in the
drive of the second-place Newark
Bears toward the leadership Of the
International League has been the
steady hitting Of their leadon man,
Tommy Holmes.
Batting slightly over 300, Holmes
has the third highest average on
the club and packs plenty of extra
base wallop at the plate.
This was emphasized yesterday as
Holmes collected a triple and a
double in four times at bat to back
up Hank Borowy's three-hit hurl-
ing and bag the Baltimore Orioles,
10.
Roy Bruner limited the Bears to
four hits, but Holmes triple, with
George Scharein on base in the
third inning, gave Borowy all the
margin he needed.
The victory boosted Newark to
within 215 games of the league
leading Rochester Red Wings, who
went down, 81, before Montreal last

Conn No Grebb Despite
His Clever Boxing
BY GRANTLAND RICE,
Special Correspondent.

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (N.A.N.A).-
Youth sticks by its heroes. A young
Conn admirer from Pittsburgh
writes this, "You had a big boost
for Billy Conn. Then you wrote
he had no chance against Joe Louis.
He was too light. If Harry Greb,
weighing 160 to 165, was big enough
to beat heavyweights, why Is Billy
Conn too light at leo pounds?"
The answer is this-Billy Conn is
a fast, game boxer. But he is no
Harry Greb, before Greb went near
ly blind.
Greb was q whirlwind. He was
one of the most aggressive fighters
that ever took heavyweights apart
Including such as Gene Tunney,
Tom Gibbons, Bill Brennan and
Killer Jack Dillon, not to mention
Jack Dempsey in q training camp
workout. Ask Dempsey.
I'm referring to the Harry Grebb
who still could see out of both eyes.
The Greb that Jack Blackburn
would just as soon have kept away.
Conn looks too frail for any Joe
Louis test. The Pittsburgh entry
is a stand-up boxer, not a ducker
and croucher and bicycle speed
man. He isn't a trick fighter. His
style fits into the Louis system
almost perfectly.
He might outlook the Bomber for
few rounds. What then? Billy
hasn't been able to hurt light
heavyweights, SO what chance would
he have of keeping Louis away for
Is rounds?
What about Tommy Farr and
Pastor and Godoy who stood up
through 40 rounds against Louis
in their opening salvos? There's
something here. But I'd like to
see Conn pack away another year

Sweet Face No Barrier

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 (NAN.A0.
Down from the mountain camp
of Sweet William Conn, who is
training for the first important
heavyweight fight of his life next
Tuesday with Bob Pastor, comes
word that 40 lady schoolteachers
recently visited Sweet William and
marveled at his loveliness.
Their reaction was observed
closely by DR.. William Morris, the

dead away at the sight of Williams

expressed surprise. Six said he

at the sight of me. 1t would be

I probably would have to take on

lem, DR.. Morris does not say The

still do a good job of fighting. Max
Baer, fair as wild rose, is merely
the exception that proves the rule.

that Gentleman Jim was mighty

NO" said the second expert,
whom we will call B.
That's an interesting story I have
Just told you, and absolutely true.
1t was handed down to me with
kid gloves by my grandmother.
Hearts FIottered When
Kid Mccoy Passed By
Yet what happened at New
Orleans? The handsome Corbett
knocked out the fierce Sullivan in
81 rounds. Had he been a whit
better-looking he might have done
1t in 20 At least that is the way
DR.. Morris figures the thing.
Another example is Kid Mccoy,
a fellow whose pulchritude was
byword for many years. Feminine
hearts fluttered when the Kid
passed by (when he did pass by.
The Kids good looks. according to
DR.. Morris, were of classical order
What the order was and whether
1t was obeyed or not DR.. Morris does
not quite remember. But he points
out that Mr.. Mccoy won most of
his fights in spite of his pearly
teeth and evenly distributed fea-
lures, which included Grecian
nose, the eyes of a Viking, and a
domestic set of teeth.
Gene Tunney was handsome, and
Tommy Loughran, even by the high
standards of Dr. Morris, was pip
These boys did not permit their
beauty to distract them from the
business in hand. Neither did
Georges Carpenter, the orchid man,
or Battling Nelson, who has nothing
to do with the case.
Up in Conn's training camp they
tell me that DR.. Morris is doing
great work in keeping up Billy's
spirits. When Bill contemplates
himself in the mirror and says,
How can handsome guy like me
get any place in the fight game?"
the doctor pats him on the back
and reminds him that Bob Fitz-
simmons was pretty, too, if you
like freckles.
Conn feels so good about his
fatal beauty now that he'll fight at
the drop of schoolteacher.

If Billy FoiIs Heovy
Field VIII Be Barren

Conn is dead sure he can beat both
Pastor and Louis. That's his busi-
ness. Maybe he can-but few others
think so.
No one wants to see Pastor meet
Louis again. There has to be some
sort of limit.
Outside of Conn there is no one
to toss into the same pit with Louis.
Max Baer was smart enough to
know that he didn't belong in the
same section, much less the same
ring. Max had the chance to pick
up at least $4,000 against Louis.
The idea in general had no appeal

Uostor's Stond Against
Louis Shows Couroqe

The only chance for a Conn
Louis engagement to build up any
interest would be to have Conn peel
the hide of Bob Pastor. This is no
simple matter. After 20 rounds in
their first and second starts, Pastor
still was swinging at Louis.
The ex-football entry is no great
fighter but also he is no puffball.
He is bigger than Conn, just as fast,
better puncher and much fore ex-
perienced. He isn't as good boxer
and he isn't any gamer, as Bill Conn
is dead game.
But those who are taking 1t for
granted that Conn will trim Bob
Pastor may be in for a jolt. I saw
Louis almost take Pastors head off
in the first round at Detroit, hammer
him all over the limited reservation.
And many rounds later 1 still saw
Pastor crowding Louis to the ropes
smashing away with both hands.
If Billy Conn can beat Pastor by
a number of kilometers and win with
something to spare, they might be
able to steam up show against
Louis in Pittsburgh or Detroit. New
York has seen Louis too often in the
last two years against Galentos,
Godoys and such. E,
Conn has all the confidence of a
game kid. He has too much conf
dence as far as Louis is concerned.
They are figuring now that the
Bomber Is on his way over the hill,
just as the Yankees are. Champions
have a way of suddenly dropping far
back where there is no outward sign
OF struggle. Something happens
physically, mentally and psychology
ically-which is beyond Me reach of
the human eye. The old urge dis
appears. The will to win softens up.
And suddenly there is another ex-
champion.
Four years ago there was a general
idea that Joe Louis would beat him.
self by overeating and oversleeping,
by softening up. But the Louis who
met Godoy was pounds lighter
than the Louis who faced sCarnera
and Baer. Joe has crossed them up.
He has refused to get fat, slow and
careless.
