CLEVELAND, June 23.-Joe Louis
estimate of Lou Nova, his next
opponent:
Hes good and strong, and he
punches pretty good, but I don't
think he'll be too much trouble
In fact, says the champ, not as
much trouble as Billy Conn was.
And Conn., he said, won't be
tough enough to hang around 13
rounds the next time. He did real
good job, but he was easy to nail
when 1 finally did nail him
The champ. in answer to ques-
ton, admitted that he hadn't been
so good lately as was two years ago
But wasn't out of training for as
much as two weeks from November
up to this Conn fight, so maybe all
I need is good rest before gettin'
sharpened up for Nova"
Hereafter, said Joe, II won't make
the mistake of trainin' too much.
Everybody needs vacation now and
then and We'll see for sure if I'm
slippin' after do some restin'. That

Several anglers have complained
of not catching fish while other
boats come into their dock with
large catches. They want to know
why. Other anglers are berating
incompetent boatmen. Boatmen are
decrying the practice of anglers
failing to show up for their reserva-
tions.
To those who didn't catch fish
this past week we would say that
II something wasn't wrong with
their fishing the boatmen failed to
put them on good fishing grounds.
There are good fishermen and be-
ginners, able boatmen and incom-
petents, although the new motor
boat regulations were directed at
the Standardization Of boatmen.
Fleet operators once in awhile do
get shippers who should never be
aboard q pasSenger-carrying boat.
They usually correct this condition
as soon as 1t is brought to their
attention for they have quite an
investment in the boat and know
dissatisfied customers hardly ever
return.
The reservation situation is be-
yond any kind of control. We like
to believe all fishermen are sports
men and while playing safe in max
ing a reservation they also should
play square by keeping it. If it Is
impossible to keep it, at least give
the boatman a call and a chance
to get another party.
Better Sport During Week.
With many new anglers in Wash
ington and every one trying to fish
on the week end, there has beer
created situation that the wise
angler will sidestep by fishing
through the week if it is possible
He gets better service without be-
ing rushed, uncrowded roads and
comparable fishing. At many points
the best boats are reserved by Mon
day for the following week end anc
those who go on the bare chance
of finding q boat free usually are
disappointed.
We hope these answers will suf-
fee for all sides, for the fish really
are in Chesapeake Bay waters sno

Fishing Is Fun If Anglers Are Fair

the anglers would spread their
trips.
Louis Elsie and Bill Noll fished |
with Capt. Ed Storey of Rockville
the other evening on his Two Sis
ters under Sharps Island. They |
brought In 48 hardheads, most of |
them weighing nearly 3 pounds.
This area, with Diamond Shoals |
and the GooSes, is in top form, but |
not a bit better than at Solomons,
where the catches during the past |
five days have mounted in size until
we wonder what disposal of them
could be possible.
Anglers take commercial men to
task for large catches, but with
fishing what it is now the thousands
of sports fishermen can make the
waste from the nets appear picayune.
We have no bone to pick with any
angler who has use for his catch.
For those who catch a boatload
for the mere fun of hauling them in
we would caution them that such
practices will spoil their fun in a
short time; that anglers are lucky
because they can have their sport
without killing their quarry, which
is more than can be said for hunt
ing.
Tuna Caught on Light Thread.
Until last month Bahaman blue
fin tuna had never been boated on
lighter tackle than 39-thread. Once
it was accomplished it became
daily occurrence More than 20 were
caught in a single week on "a
| thread
Now we learn Mrs. Marion Hassler
has turned the trick on l5-thread
Her tuna weighed 374 pounds and
will constitute a new world record
for this weight tackle 1t required
but II minutes to boat the big fish.
The moon has much to do with
taking of stripers at Tall Timbers
by the fioat-line method. The cur
rent, too, is an important factor.
With the full of the moon past and
days when the current fails to
change at all, this fishing hasn't
been SO good. Trolling, however, is
bringing in the smaller stripers, with
an occasional buster here and there
In the Patuxent, at Solomons,
the schools take to shrimp chum
and, strange as it may seem, on
slack water. Those anglers who
have been batting with the shrimp
are catching the smaller fish, while
those who bait with soft crabs have
been catching larger fish.
Capt Ed Bowen's count a few
days back was 27. The previous
day Capt. Harry Woodburn brought
in nine averaging nearly 9 pounds.
There Is neither rhyme nor reason
to this fishing. 1t is good one day
and non-existant the next, but
worthwhile when you hit it right.

Sity of Washington swept to victory
over California in record time and

Last weekend the Harvard crew,
coached by Long Tom Bolles,
brushed the Yale navy clean OF
the Thames River in New London

season. The Harvard boatload was
hailed as the best in the East.
Bolles and Ulbrickson are Wash

same boat, stroked by Ulbrickson.
when Washington won the Pough-
keepsie race in 1926. Ulbrickson
became head coach at Washington

as consistently as the varsity boats.
Five years ago the Harvard crew.

And in each season of Bolles'

It's a pity that American college
rowing cannot achieve the real
