Boating Interests Hit
Measures Designed
To Curb Sport

Recreational boating interests in
New York and Michigan, aided by
national organizations, currently are
opposing efforts of their respective
Legislatures to place restrictions on
the boating sport and industry.
In New York, boat owners, yacht
clubs, dealers and manufacturers
are making last-ditch stand
against the Kreinheder bill, which
restricts the operation of motorboats
by thousands of boys and girls under
is years of age on the States many
inland lakes. Appeals have been
made to Gov. Herbert H. Lehman to
veto the Kreinheder bill.
Miehigan's boating legions are di-
recting an attack on House bill
which would limit the use of out
board motors of greater than
horsepower and inboard boats of
more than 10 horsepower on certain
inland lakes only during the boat
ing season of from June to Sep
tember.
The National Outboard Associa-
ton, United States Power Squad
rons and American Power Boat AS
Sociation, in addition to the manu-
facturers' organization, are backing
up local interests in the two States.

Worms for Fishing
Become Industry

BY the Associated SIeSSs
BOOTHBAY HARBOR, Me
The increasing popularity Of salt
water sport fishing throughout
the East and an abundance Of
bloodworms on Names great
clam flats has given this State
f1ourishing industry.
The thousands of anglers in
the East must have bait for the
various species Of saltwater
fishes and Maine has just the
kind they need.
Bloodworms, one time just ugly,
good -for-n nothing crawlers, are
highly priced now and are being
harvested by hundreds of men
and boys.
Diggers get from rs cents to 81
a hundred and the best diggers
are capable of capturing as many
as 1,200 of the Weird-looking
wrigglers in day. Using a spe-
cial fiat tined fork they dig down
with the tide and back with it.
which gives them about 20 hours
a day to work if they can stand
it. For night digging miners
headlamps are used.
From now until well into the
fall this unique industry will
bring about $1,000 a day to the
Maine coast.

Brotherhood of the Jungle Cock Gathers;
Tribute to Ozark Ripley, Paul Townsend

Anglers have a choice this week
end of hardhead fishing in the
Honga River or at Benedict on the
Patuxent, of perch and catf1shing
in the Potomac below Little Falls
and trout fishing in Maryland and
Virginia mountain streams.
The best fishing will occur early
in the morning and from 6 until
dark in the evening. In the Honga
River, for those who fish the tides,
morning will be best, the ebb tide
starting shortly after am. At
Benedict it is high water at Gil
am. tomorrow and 1913 on Sum-
day. At Little Falls the tide turns
at 1 pm. tomorrow and shortly
after on Sunday.
With a waxing moon full on the
11th) this coming week should pro-
duce catches at other points in the
upper Chesapeake. In the lower
bay catches in the pound nets are
unprecedented. With the great
lifts of hardheads are many large
gray trout, something commercial
men have not seen in many years.
Their presence in bay waters so
early might be the promise of ex-
cellent fishing for sports anglers
later. Again, it may mean nothing.

normal Trout streams in Fred
erick County are in good condition
but below normal levels for this
season of the year.
On the North Carolina coast the
channel bass are continuing to lay
just ouside the break. Good
catches continue to be reported
every day. This fishing should
reach its peak by May II. So far
the 62-pound fish caught by Capt.
Charles Perry is tops for the season,
a fish counted large anywhere and
just 4 pounds under the winner of
the Rupert contest last year.
The Brotherhood of the Jungle
Cock is an organization conceived

I'VE who love angling, in order
that it may enjoy practice and re-
ward in later generations, mutually
move toward a common goal-the
conservation and restoration of
American game fishes.
Toward this end we pledge that

ways we'll within the bounty of ma
ture herself.
Enjoying as we do only a life
estate in the out-ofdoors and
morally charged in our time with
the responsibility of handing it
down unspoiled to tomorrow's in
heritors, we individually undertake
annually to take at least one boy
a-fiShing, instructing him, as best
we know, in the responsibilities that
soon are to be wholly his.
Holding that moral law tran
scends the legal statutes, always
beyond the needs of any one man,
and holding that example alone is
the one certain teacher, we pledge
always to conduct ourselves in such
fashion on the stream as to make
safe for others the heritage which
is ours and theirs"
Jungle Cock Meet Tonight.
The Jungle Cock gather tonight
around another camp fire on Big
Hunting. There will be countless
stories of hunting and fishing from
the far-fiung streams and noun
tains of America to be snapped with
old buddies. That fire will burn far
into the night, but daylight will
find one and all out with rod and
fly.
Saturday evening another camp
fire with the transaction of mo-
mentous matters, but without two
beloved outdoorsmen who played
important roles last year.
Ozark Ripley and Paul Townsend
probably are watching while they
rest on the banks of some celestial
stream from their fishing. They
will understand the two-minute
pause from all activities at IL am.
/ on Sunday morning as a mans
tribute and appreciate it far more
than any words.
1t is planned by the outdoor
Writers Association to set in bronze
on the great Cunningham rock on
the bank of Big Hunting Greek a
lasting memorial for these two men,
who did so much for the outdoors
they loved so well, so that others
in days to come might not pass over

Race Anticipated
Handicapped Holds Time
Should Be Bettered
By 3 of a Glasses

Outboard hydroplanes in the 13o-
mile marathon down the Hudson
from the Albany Yacht Club to
Dyckman Street in New York on
Sunday, May II, will make a theo-
retical speed of 485 miles an hour
for the entire distance. This is more
than a mile better than the mara
thon record of Ala set in 1899 by
Charles Mack, jr., Of Milford, N. ].
The theory behind the reasoning
OF the marathon Handicapped, Com
modore j. S. Y. Tyson Of Philadel-
phia, is that the speed increases in
the 1-mile and smile records dur
ing 1910 justify the expectation that
Mack's 2-year-old record is headed
for a fracture. The handicapS, of
course, are predicated on perfect
water and weather conditions.
Superpowered class F hydroplaneS,
which are the scratch boats. are
expected to cover the long run in
hours 40 minutes and % seconds.
This is faster by about 712 minutes
than the Twentieth Century Linz
tied railroad train normally goes
from Albany to New York. These
class F jobs are rated 3 minutes 40
seconds better than last year. Class
C remains unchanged, class B is
expected to do 6 minutes and 16
seconds better and class A, the
smallest record class in the mara
thon, 81 seconds better.
Theoretically, the class Bs should
do the 100 miles in hours II min
utes and 80 seconds, although it took
last years winner, who used a B
outfit. Fire Chief Clayton Bishop
| of Onset, Mass, 512 hours to finish
because of the driftwood and rough
water. However, in 1899, when
Bishop also won in the same outfit.
he was clocked in 3:11:22, bettering
the handicap time by 1912 minutes.

Just to make certain they would
not be given parking" tickets by
police when tied up between races
at Hains Point, shippers of the Po-
tomac River Sailing Association
have applied to the National Park
Service for permits to sidle up to
the sea wall for periods not exceed
ing three hours.
The move is an outgrowth of an
amusing incident which occurred
toward the close of the associations
fall series. A park policeman at
that time threatened to arrest one
of the sailors who was tied up at
the point.
That was the first that sailors
and even some higherups in Off
cial circles here knew of the ex-
istence of a law prohibiting small
craft to use the Hains Point area
even for an emergency landing.
But with parking" permits in
their sailing jeans everything should
be okay from now on for members
of the sailing group. Permission to
use the sea wall comes at an i'm
portant time for sailors who are
staging three double-headers in
their spring series.
Between races most of them head
for the point for lunch and an op-
portunity to make changes aboard
for the next event.
Two and maybe three Chesapeake
Bay yachts are expected to enter
the 425-mile ocean race from New
London, Conn, to Hampton, Va,
sponsored jointly by the Storm Try
sail Club and Hampton Yacht Club,
starting June 81. Better than 25
starters are predicted for the event,
the longest blue-water race of the
year.
Prospective entries are William
Labrot's famed yawl Stormy Wealth
er, Annapolis Yacht Club, and Jim
England's new sloop, Mescal. Tired
Avon Yacht Club on the Eastern
Shore. A third and possibly fourth
entry may come from the United
States Naval Academy fleet, which
now numbers five ocean-going rae
ing yachts. Some midshipmen who
have had a taste of ocean competi-
ton aboard their ketch Vamarie in
the past are reported anxious to
enter at least one of their boats,
providing time away from the
academy can be arranged.
