and there is sport fishing, where one
neglects his business to reel in a
few fish THAI cost at the lowest esti-
mate several dollars a pound. The
Rupert contest is one way to bring
the per-pound cost down-if you're
lucky.
The daily squalls of the last week
have made the hardhead reticent
about taking bait. They should bite
now like suckers The trout and
spot. too, are shy and ravenous.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland
and the narrow strip between it and
the Delaware River called Delaware
is one and the same country. Both
have excellent fishing. Many Wash
ington anglers fish it-for the tide
running weaks at the breakwater
and for the stripers in Eastern Bay
and the Choptank. But, because
it is reached easily. it is mostly
fished by Pennsylvanians and guides
from both shores vie for their trade.
In the past this rivalry has been
good natured. Lately claims from
Delaware shippers and counterclaims
from Chesapeake guides have
reached an all-time high. until now
the controversy approximates a
feud. The last claim of the boys
from the First State, that their fish
ing is the best along the Atlantic
coast, was countered. Of course. by
Free State captains with there is
no water on earth to compare to the
Chesapeake when it comes to sport
fishing" and the offer of Sl0O from
Capt. Randolph Harrison of Tilgh-
mans as a side bet to prove that he
and crew of four shippers of his
selection could lick a like crew of
Delaware boatmen catching fish.
The tentative terms of the con-
test include each crew to fish be-
tween 6 am. and 6 pm. in their
own waters according to sportflsh-
ing methods, and the gross weight
of the catch of food and game fish
be the deciding factor.
Bill Wolf. fishing scribe of the
Philadelphia Record, and probably
responsible for the challenge, has
been proposed as the Delaware
Judge. while Arnold "Ducky''
Stewart, outdoor editor Of the Will
mington News-Journal, is slated for
that position aboard the Mary
landers' boat.
Nothing may come from the con-
troversy. And even though the
contest materializes it wouldn't
prove one fishing was more meri-
torious than the other. 1t would be
lots of fun, cause lots more talk and
probably a return engagement. 1t
might become an annual affair.
Why not, for fun, talk and competi-

Ring Muss Due If Smith
Licks Son-in-LuwConn
By JOHN LARDNER,


NEW YORK, July 10 (N.AN.Ao. -
, As though he didn't have troubles
enough, Joe Louis now is faced with
the prospect of fighting a former
Pittsburgh infelder named Jimmy
Smith, in case Smith beats Billy
Conn in their forthcoming bout,
scheduled for this summer.
Mr.. Smith Is the father-in-law of
Mr.. Conn. He thus will be spotting
Conn several years of age. On the
other hand, Smith is fast and ag-
gressive and is said to carry better
right-hand punch than his Son-in-
law The weights are about even.
Smith should have the better OF the
tnfighting, while Conn will endeavor
to keep the fight at long range-2,00o
miles, if possible.
The implications OF this bout seem
to have escaped the public. as well
as Mr.. Smith. If Smith beats Conn,
he will become the logical contender
for Louis title. following the Louis
Nova match or even before it. BY
knocking out Conn Smith very likely
would supersede Nova as the chal-
lenger in September.
Louis is one of the few men who
realize this.
If Smith beats Conn" the champ
was muttering the other day, Il
gotta give him shot. That's only
fair. Conn is good man. and
the man that beats him deserves a
crack at the title"

And there is no reason to suppose
that Mr.. Smith would duck a fight

the Brooklyn bench, he walked over
and challenged the whole Dcdger
team as 1t sat there. Among the
Dodgers was big Jacques Fournier.
the French first baseman, as rough a
citizen as ever threw punch in a
ball park.
"And I mean you, too, Fournier,'
snapped Mr.. Smith.

! The six-year reign Of Astor Clarke
as the No. l bowler Of the District

Ranking Committee last night at its
annual meeting voted Jenkins the
top spot for the 1901 season.
Leading sweepstakes bowler of the
country the last season with an
average of 130 and a fraction, Clarke
unquestionably would have been the
top choice again had he rolled the
required 125 league games. This as
sociation rule also cost such crack
pin maulers as Hokie Smith, Tony
Santini and Ollie Pacini a place in
the rankings.
Makes Strong Finish.
Winner of the Petworth League
championship with an average of
l25-plus, jenkins rolled sensationally
the latter part Of the season to
amass q mark of 1873 In the District
League and 100 in the National
Capital. His lowest was 120 in the
Rosslyn Independent loop.
Giving Jenkins the closest compe-
tition was Perce Wolfe and Ed
Blakeney, who tied for the runner
up spot with 49 points each In the
voting. Wolfe several times had
given Clarke battle for the title.
Both brilliant in the District
League, Cletus Pannell, a newcomer
to big-time bowling. and Milton
Monk Walker, Government Print
ing Once star, tied for third with
81 points.
Fourth place went to Bill Krauss
with 36 points. Paul Jarman re-
ceived % votes for fifth while his
Chevy Chase Ice Palace teammate,
Ed Nash. was sixth with 81 points.
Ernie Hauser won seventh place
with 10 points and Ell Geib was
eighth with four.
Povich Sets Record.
Jack Talbert, Chevy Chase Ice
Palace manager. gained ninth place
with three points and Abe Povich
received one point for tenth position.
The latter's Masonic League all-time
record average of 125-plus in all
probability swayed the lone vote.
The ranking committee was COM
posed of Dave Burrows, president of
w. c. D. A.; Charley Barnard, vice
president of the w. C. D. A.; Ben
McAlwee, secretary of the W. C. D.
A.; Perce Elicit, former president of
the w. c. D. A.; Lonnie Krauss, long
identified with bowling, and Arville

round" says Lou, full of bitter ex-
perience. They will start building
up the Smith-Louis fight and try to
deal me out. If you ask me, I think
Smith should be retired for his own
good. I don't care how many sons
tn-law he knocks out, so long as they
are not logical contenders. But
when he starts knocking out logical
contenders. he interferes with my
business. Smith is an elderly gen.

So far as can find in the records,
