Fireworks Casualties
Likened to Air Raid
1900 Marylanders Hurt and
Four Killed During Past
Four Years

Over 1900 persons in Maryland
have been injured in connection with
Fourth of July accidents from fire
works, in the last four years, accord
ing to records filed with the State De
partment of Health by the Maryland
Society for Prevention of Blindness,
of surveys made year by year, by that
organization.
In 1897, 295 persons were injured;
3O4 in 1888; BOT in 1899; 303 in 1910
"a total of 1909. There were four
deaths among those injured-two
little girls, one, five, the other eight
years old, died of burns caused when
sparklers set fire to their dresses;
one, a boy of twelve, died from in
juries caused by the explosion of a
homemade cannon put together out
of lead pipe and powder from fire
crackers, and the fourth, an adult,
died when an aerial bomb went off
prematurely, fracturing his skull.
Citing this large total of accidents
and the four deaths as examples Of
the risks involved in the irresponsible
indulgence in fireworks or other eX-
plosives, DR.. r. H. Riley, Director of
the State Department of Health, adj
vised those who feel that Independ-
ence day celebrations are incomplete
without fireworks, to limit their in
diligence in such explosives to adequ-
ately safeguarded community dis
plays.
Emphasizing the importance of pro-
tecting children against the danger in
volved in the indiscriminate handling
of fireworks, DR.. Riley said that the
State records show that approximate
ly two out of every three of those who
have been injured in Maryland in the
past four years have been Youngsters
under fifteen 1872 of the total of
1909. This group included he said,
one baby under year old As chill
dren from one to years old; 316
from to 10, and ABB from L to Is.
The rest ranged in age from 16 to 70
and over
"Firecrackers-big and little-were
responsible" DR.. Riley continued ''for
the injuries to the greatest number.
Nearly a thousand persons-963-
were injured in accidents or explo-
sions from this source; 1873 in acct
dents caused by miscellaneous types
of fireworks; 35 by torpedoes; 81 by
skyrockets, 27 by Roman candles and
Is by sparklers. There were probably
many other, similar, accidents that
were not reported.
"The Re. ted accidents read like

the face and eyes, threatening the
loss of sight; to the arms and hands
causing the loss of fingers in some in

Crooker and Trout Are Running Heavy
Too Many Perch Worry Anglers

August usually finds the large
hardheads gone from bay waters.
Many authorities contend they have
started their Southern migration,
while the and 2 year-oldS have ia
ken over the feeding grounds for
the balance of the season.
Another theory, to the effect they
lie quiescently in the deep waters
until late September, has been ad-
vanced. and because the large fish
are the last ones caught in the
fall there might be something to
this.
Last week we would have said the
chance of catching large croakers
was slim. Today we know big fell
lows, averaging between and 4
pounds, are running In the chan
nels and feeding at night, for we
have had the evidence.
No Trouble to Find Fish.
We know large trout are coming
up the bay, that large spot have
taken over some fishing grounds
dlAO IIid1 pCiCIl dlc oO IluiilCIOUS
they are bothersome. When q school
comes along there is nothing to do
but move. Yearling trout are near
ly as bad. Their strike is WORTH
while but their fight is woefully
weak. Their killing is unwise now,
for their food value is very small.
Because they will return next year.
there Is nothing to do but move
also when they start striking.
Schools of trout weighing up to
2 pounds each are raising continu-
ously to feed on small silversides.
When they do a small, bright spoon
cast in the school usually Is pro-
ductive, or if they are right around
the boat hold your bait just a few
feet below the surface.
With soft and peeler crabs scarce
and almost prohibitive in price, trout
bats are hard to obtain. The next
best bait Is bloodworms. There also
is the large Norfolk spot to keep in
mind, for they'll take this bait al
most to the exclusion OF all others.
On light tackle. there isn't gamier
fish in the Chesapeake-hard on the
strike and fighting right up to the
surface.
Since we noted the advisibility Of
saving your aluminium license frame
we learn that those you will get
with your Maryland license in 1912
will be tin.
Those stream anglers who deco
rate their hats with buttons to prove
their angling activities will find the
tin will not live through the years.
Even the first day may give an un-
slightly coating of rust. So save
the old ones.

and Jimmy Crowley. Fordham coach
In charge of the All-Stars. believes
the Hoya will add a tremendous
punch to the teams offense.
One of Two Small Backs.
Ghecas possibly was Georgetown's
chief running back last fall. He
has tremendous burfst of speed
and is regarded as one of the
hardest men to stop in a broken
field in Eastern football circles. He
worked we'll from a spread forma-
ton, running virtually without in
terference at times, and with the
brand of blocking expected from his
mates on the All-Stars should be
invaluable
The Georgetown youngster is one
OF two men on the squad weighing
under 180 pounds. Charley
ORourke, Boston College star, is
the other and each weighs around
ITS.
A star outfielder with a good
batting average at the Hilltop last
spring, Ghecas has been playing
with the Watertown, N. Y. nine
this summer but will give up base
ball soon to 60 into training for
the grid game.
Alternates With Osmanski.
Except for reinforcements at the
right halfback post, which is where
Ghecas and Joe OSmanski will per-
form, the All-Star backfield is COM
