Bill Poland wants Max Baer for
his next opponent in Washington.
Manager Jack Kearns, said so for
him last night after whacking Will
lie put the snore on Eddie Blunt. a
stout sepia gentleman. in a brisk
exhibition of wind-milling at Grif-
fifth Stadium. Blunt collapsed from
a visibly potent right to the jaw
after 2:55 Of the fourth round, or
some 81 laps short of the scheduled
distance.
Whether Baer and Poland would
draw under favorable omens is con-
jectural, but after last nights ses-
sion you probably couldn't give
away tickets. A slight odor of her
ring permeated the park when 1t was
all over. and this time the judges
were not responsible.
There is no denying that Poland
kissed Blunt with a thoroughly le-
sitimate and high-voltage pat on the
chin; but what puzzled the custom
ers, the whole GAP who plunked
down net gate of s9.759 for park
ing privileges, was Blunt's sudden
and complete change of heart after

Poland Hits Canvas.
For two rounds Blunt showed

but his best blows ratified of his

Blow Best and Likely
Last Opportunity 10
Crowd Into Race
Cards Hold Their Own
By Downing Giants;
Grove Is Injured
BY JUDSON BAILEY,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

The desperate hopes of the Gin
cinnati Reds for miracle that
would return them to third
straight World Series have been en-
quilted in the slow tide that seems to
be carrying the Brooklyn Dodgers on
its crest.
They had their best and perhaps
last chance to break into the thick
of the National League pennant
scramble last night and failed. as
Kirby Higbe whipped Johnny Van
der Nicer, AZ, before 10000 fans at
Ebbets Field.
1t was an important triumph for
and-a-half margin over the st. Louis
Cardinals, who beat the New York
Giants in another night game, 8-5.
But it was even more important
for the Reds. They had won 16 of
their last 20 games in great late
summer surge and would have
moved within Ia games Of first place
If they had won.
Higbe Marks Up 18th Win.
However, their loss dropped them
to 91z behind Brooklyn and back
of st. Louis, and proved to most peo-
pie that the flag competition Is going
to continue as q two-club race right
down to the finish.
Higbe pitched seven-hit ball for
his 18th triumph and except for q
brief lapse in the eighth inning he
never was in trouble. Brooklyn also
was held to seven hits, but was
helped out by q donation Of eight
bases on balls from Vandy.
The Cardinals had to come from
behind TO beat the Giants. The
Redbirds made three costly errors in
the early innings and Babe Young
hit his 20th homer with one on. As
the result Lefty Ernie White lasted
only five innings. Then Harry Gum
bert took over and pitched four
scoreless innings in relief and the
powerful st. Louis artillery opened
up. They Tailed six runs in the
three final frames tying the score
with three in the seventh to end
Carl Hubbell's stay, breaking the
deadlock with two In the eighth and
finishing with home run by Walker
Cooper in the ninth.
Bucks Make 81 Hits.
In the other National League
games Pittsburgh walloped the
Phillies, 1872, with a 21-hit bonn
bardment, including three doubles
and two singles by Arky Vaughan,
and the Chicago Cubs divided
double header with the Boston
Braves. Nanny Salvo shut out the
Cubs. 60 on five hits in the opener
and then Charley Root pitched s2s
innings in relief to win the second
session, Ga, and gain the 200th vic
tory of his 16-year career. Root
provided the winning margin for
himself by hitting a single with the
bases loaded in the ninth.
The New York Yankees added
another game to their immense
American League lead by over
whelming the St. Louis Browns, ILL,
in a night game. Ernie Bonham
pitched three-hit ball.
Lefty Grove pulled muscle in
his side, possibly meaning his loss
for the remainder of the season. and
the Boston Red Sox dropped 6-3
verdict to the Detroit Tigers.
JEFF Heath drove in seven runs
with two homers and triple as the
Cleveland Indians assaulted the
Athletics. 1l-4.

should be in good shape In three or
four days.
Sturgeon Need Protection.
Occasionally sturgeon comes up
the Potomac River to spawn, but
because there is no law to stop their
taking, even these last few remnants
Of q once great species seldom are
allowed to return.
The same is true Of most OF the
rivers along our Atlantic Coast. The
last run of any consequence is in
the st. Lawrence, because those
sturgeon that follow the Canadian
shore are protected. They are vested
in the crown. Across on the Amer
lean side. when the run is on, they
are caught by commercial men and
speared by the Indians. How long
can these half measures keep the
fish returning in abundance?
Down in North Carolina, where
the catch for the last two seasons
has fallen to 5000 pounds. the Con-
servation Commission has declared
a closed season on sturgeon in the
hope this once valuable commercial
fishery may be revived.
Our trouble always Is in waiting
too long. 1t appears any of our
natural resources must be SO far
gone before any heed is given that
preventive measures are of little
help. Federal regulation would not
have allowed destructive fishing.
Only Federal aid can rehabilitate
the sturgeon fisheries along the At
lantic.
Good Luck With Stripers.
Anglers fishing the shell beds OF
Tall Timbers are having good luck
with the stripers. There are little
pan-sized fellows in the schools, but
there also are some big ones.
Capt. Bill Goldsborough has given
up float-hning the big stripers with
soft crabs because they are almost
impossible to obtain in the numbers
necessary. but his trolling appears
to be equally productive of reason
ably large fish.
Sea Trout Fishing Mediocre.
The only real sea trout fishing this
year was of the Maryland coast.
The run at the Delaware Break
water and at Peconic Bay, Long
Island, distinctly was OF. But every
where there are great numbers of
small fish. particularly in bay wa
tiers. This season they are little fun,
but they will be the and 8 pound
ers Of next year, when they promise
real fishing.
Larger trout are due right now
In upper bay waters, but anglers are
not catching them. That they will
come there is little doubt. In fact,
the run is under way in the lower
bay and Potomac, for catches now
show q fair quota of large fish.

Jacobs Eating Duel
Touted for Saratoga
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special Correspondent OF The Star.


SARATOGA SPRINGS. Aug. 28
NAN.A0 Mike Jacobs, the duce
pronounced deuce Of boxing, had
an idea a couple Of years ago of
promoting an eating contest at his
Hollyhock ranch in New Jersey, with
all corners invited to beat the star
eater of the Jacobs stable. a tape
worm-ridden character named Wal
ter Stewart.
Mr.. Jacobs thought that Stewart
was another Joe Louis. He had
visions of Stewart dominating the
eating field as Louis dominated the
fight field, and restoring the million
dollar gate to the gourmand racket.
As a matter of fact, there never
has been a million-dolla gate In
eating. Small club matches, at
5o-cent top, ringside, have drawn
good crowds, but big outdoor show
in Yankee Stadium or Municipal
Stadium or Soldiers Field is still
the unrealized dream of every eating
promoter.
Well, Stewart was just a good club
eater. He was handy man with
ham and eggs, he had fair gift
with venison. He was colorful to
watch, though I used to think he
faxed it little. He had better than
average digestion and a nice. dart
ing fork hand. But he wasn't big
league.

"Dr." Georges Appetite
Discouroees Stewort

Your correspondent punctured Mr..
Jacobs vision OF cleaning up with
Stewart by challenging this over
rated trencherrnan in behalf Of my
own great eater, DR.. Harry George,
stately stagehand at the Metropoi-
tan Opera. who held the Eastern
and Canadian open titles for con-
Stunning consecutive lamb chops at
one setting 1887.
When Stewards managers studied
DR.. Georges record, they promptly
ducked out. They claimed that
their man had bruised tonsil with
an oyster fork while training, and
could not eat competitively for six
months. Mr.. Jacobs had to call OIL
his tournament. Stewart has been
sulking ever since. His eating Ca
reer was wrecked before 1t had well
begun.
In the interim. DR.. George also
retired. undefeated and covered
from head to knees with laurel. He
preferred parsley on everything else,
but laurel on himself
I do not plan to bring this grand
eampaigner back into action. But
1t strikes me that If Mr.. Jacobs, the
deuce of boxing, wants to go back
TO promoting eating contests. the
place for him to stage gustatory
bout between the two best men he
can find is Saratoga. Eating here is
conducted on a copious scale, in q
regal manner

has always been willing to spend
money to make money. Eating in
Saratoga requires a considerable in
vestment, but once you are of the
nut you clean up.
A single portion of filet mignon is
$3.50. Chicken is $3.50, chicken and
frog legs is 81, steak and frog legs
is $3.50. This is the basic minimum
In the joints where they really eat.
Evening star., 1941-08-28
Seat Tickets for Every
Junction Suggested

I believe the best way to stage
the match is cross country style
each course in a different place, in
the manner made popular by Ivan
Linow, old-tirne eater and wrestler,
who took his soup In one restaurant,
his fish in the next, and so forth,
concluding way up the street with
the pie, cheese, and coffee.
would advise the Deuce to lay
q grandstand at every stop and also
selling travelling tickets good at all
functions:
First stop-Celery, radishes, olives
ripe and green. scallions, cottage
cheese and crackers. This class is
unlimited. The contestants can use
their own discretion. Many a man
has become famous simply as a
radish-eater.
Second stop-Shrimps, crabmeat,
miscellaneous seafood. Also un-
limited.
Third stop-soup, hot or cold, or
both.
Fourth stop-Here the boys take
aboard steak and frog legs, or what
ever main dish is agreeable to the
managers of both contestants. Hot
rolls and ale are optional, points
being scored for each.
Fifth stop-Saratoga corn cakes.
Then pie, cheese, and coffee and /or
other beverage.
Under the Linow-Lardner system.
each eater may designate the spot
where he wishes to take his salad
There shall be no eating on the
break and each eater is asked to eat
clean, within reason. If Mr.. Jacobs
supplies the eaters, Saratoga will do
the rest.

port of the committee, M. P. Web
ster, First International Vice
President of the Brotherhood of

mittee upon its favorable report
and explained to the convention
something of the background of
the Presidents Executive Order
which created the committee and
called upon the National and In
ternational Unions to cooperate
with F. E. P.

Fair Employment Practice Com
mittee followed a fortnight and
effective address to the convention
