The commercial catch In 1887 was
1854 100 pounds with a value of
S14Q .339. In 1888 it increased to
2,0l1 300 pounds, because of the in
creasing size of that 1884 brood, and
its value was $156,809. This was .

Striper fishing and its status In

Late In July there was craD
conference at Newport News. Va.
1t was attended by members of the
Maryland and Virginia commissions
and representatives of the industry
In both States.
Virginia pointed out that even
though they were fishing 10000 crab
pots in l94l instead of the 1000 of
1910. their setting aside Of about
400 square miles at the mouth of
the bay as a sanctuary for sponge
crabs during July and August would
60 far toward solving the shortage
of blue crabs if Maryland would take
the steps necessary to prevent as
many as 100000 dying in floats
(holding floats for peelers about the
she'd in single year. -
Marylanders were unanimous in
the hope Virginia would cut down on
their take of sponge crabs after
pointing out that in the Free State
Grabbing is allowed but six months
out of the year and the taking of
sponge crabs is prohibited at all
times, as are crab pots and pounds,
while Virginians were permitted to
take sponge crabs for 10 months and
others throughout the year.
In few words, there appears to
be little chance of real cooperation
between the two States as far rs
the commercial men are concerned.
There was. however, an agreement
to turn over the responsibility of
developing an effective conservation
program to the commissioners of
the two States.
Streng Measures Needed.
Differences between followers Of
bay industries in Virginia and
Maryland have resulted in gun bat
ties in the past, both believing in
their inalienable rights to take fish
from the waters as they saw fit. A
survey by Federal authorities, with
the findings as base for regulations
for q conservative take If enforced
hN Federal authorities, soon would
return the blue crab to its former
great number and be equally fair
to one and all. And there would be
no such dearth of the delicious sea-
food as there is this season from
one end of the bay to the other and
no variance in the methods of take
to cause further grievance among
baymen.

Fisheries Commission has the newly

Greater Speed, Punch
Make Poland Choice
Over Bigger Blunt
Bill Expected to Score
Plenty in EorIy Going
Of Wednesday Bout

Eddie Blunt, giant Negro heavy
weight, may beat young Bill Poland
in their 25-round scufiie at the ball
park Wednesday night, but doesn't
ngure to on their workouts At |
Turner'S Arena.
Today will be their NTH at Uncle |
Joes academy of arts and sciences
and thus far Blunt has not stirred
the gallery to any wild outbursts
of enthusiasm. Good and tough, yes,
and big enough to stand up under
the hammering of l6-milimeter
field gun, but slow, too. He can hit,
but has got to have q stationary
target to be dangerous.
That's why Poland should be fined
for lettering if Blunt so much as
lays q glove on him. That's the
difference between their speed. OF
course, Willie will be tagged-and
often. He isn't exactly . phantom
defensively, but Blunt shouldn't
touch him after they shake hands
If Poland slips into high gear and
boxes smartly,
Palond Must BE Wary.
Blunt will have q sizeable advan-
tage in weight. Poundage is i'm
portant in heavyweight fights if used
properly. After Joe Louis fight with
Bill Conn, Trainer Jack Blackburn
pointed out that part of Joe's poor
performance partially was due to
the fact that he didn't take ad-
vantage Of his heft. He should have
thrown it more on Conn and worn
him down before dragging up the
heavy artillery for the finishing
assault.
Conn naturally didn't give Louis
many chances for this strategy and
Poland will have to be as wary with
Blunt. Poland isn't as slow afoot
as they would have you believe,
but prefers to stand his ground
and punch it out with the enemy
rather than dance around and be
cute. Such tactics make him look
slower than he actually is. Against
Blunt. discretion will be the greater
part of valor because If Eddie ever
gets inside with his rib-cracking
left Poland will feel it down to his
heels.
Poland has looked good in train
ing, but still is far from the rank
Of q genuine title contender. They
may shove him in with Louis if the
opportunity presents itself, but he
won't be ready for another year or
two. Bill takes too many for his
own health and certainly couldn't
stand up with Louis in a toe-to-
toe slugging bee.
Bill Careful With Right.
Ring experts have criticized Po-
lands habit of dropping the left
too low and of being right-hand
slugnutty. but this has not been
true in training. Trainer Whitley
Bimstein and Manager Jack Kearns
virtually tied the right behind him
In his sessions with Buddy Scott
and the result was noticeable. He
seems to punch sharper than Blunt
and certainly faster. The question
Is whether he has enough persua-
sion in the right to drop his big op-
ponent. -
kearns claims Poland improves
with each passing round, but if this
hight happens to go over Is rounds
Blunt will have the edge because of
his ponderous hulk. From that point
ON It'll be a question OF stamina.
