Newly Claimed Horse
Wins Owner 5000
AT Narragansett
By the Associated Press.


PAWTUCKET, R. l.. Sept. g.
Jessie Gladys, claimed for $4,000
three days ago after she ran three
times at Saratoga in claiming races
with no takers. brought her new
owner 5000 today by winning the

A 33 to l shot in the mutuels, the
4-year-old daughter of Pharamono

finished four lengths out front in the
1-16 mile feature.
The favorite, Samuel D. Riddles

Jessie Gladys victory, her first OF

route was 1:45. War Hazard re-
turned 1920 and s310 and Wise
Moss Sc 90.
A bold move by Stolen Tryst, IS

shot out front at the gate and sped
down the backstretch, leading by six

Jockey Mike Caffarella couldn't
keep his mount going at that pace,
however, and approaching the half

as they swung into the home stretch
Jessie Gladys took the lead.

A Federal act, known as the
marine fisheries compact, was set
up by Congress to bring about better
cooperation between the Atlantic
coastal States and Uncle Sam so
that adequate regulation of mi
gratory fishes might be achieved.
1t was to become effective when
two or more States accepted or
ratified it.
To date the Legislatures of six
States have ratified. Gov. Herbert
R. O'Conor of Maryland has sig
nifed his intention of signing the
act on September Is, at the same
time he will call the first meeting
of the newly created Board Of Nat
ural Resources.
Virginia has not signed the
pact and cannot do SO before It's
Legislature meets in 1912. Until
that happens Maryland will get
little benefit. Acceptance by North
Carolina also is most necessary, for
if the Striper, one of the most
important of all migrants, is not
protected by that State and Wiz
ginia, too, there is little use pro-
tecting it in Delaware, New jersey,
New York, Rhode Island, Massa-
chusetts aand New Hampshire.
Their stotcks of striped bass come
from Chesapeake Bay and the North
Carolina sounds.
For the pact to become COM
pletely effective every State along
the Atlantic seaboard must ratify
it. for what good would summer
protection of the croaker in North
ern waters do if Southern States
continue destructive winter fishing.
States Fail to Cooperate.
Many Eastern States with COM
mon waters have tried for years
to get together to solve the intricate
problems of their fisheries, but never
with any success. This pact will
provide only a chance for CO.
operative action with Federal legis-
lation regulating offshore fisheries.
If it does not include inshore fish,
cries as well it will meet with little
success for most of our migratory

Golf Aces Will Gun for Bogort
In D. C.. Amateur at Kenwood

The local amateurs, who aren't too
good a lot of golfers nowadays, set
out this week in a stern chase after
the District simon pure title held
for the past two years by bulky
Ralph Bogart, the Chevy Chase
youngster. Qualifying rounds of the
tourney will open Tuesday at Ken
wood Golf and Country Club. a
stretch of terrain over which Bo-
CART will be tough to whip. Indeed,
from this corner Bogart again looms
as the champ, with a bare possi-
bility that Volney Burnett or Parker
Nolan might spring an upset or that
Charley Malone might get a hot
hand and outclub Ralph. But Bo-
gart is tabled as the hot shot.
Entries will close tonight at Ken
wood with DR.. w. c. Barr, District
Golf Association secretary, and the
field probably will reach bumper
proportions. incidentally, they
should call it the championship
of the District of Columbia Golf
Association. There isn't private
club with a full-length 1S-hole
course within the boundaries of the
District of Columbia.

Archibald Luck Here
Puts Wright on Spot
In Fight "Wednesday
Joey Never Hos Dropped
D. c. Bout; Bound to Get
$1,000 for This One

joey Archibalds featherweight
fight with Chalky Wright holds the
flstic spotlight this week. They are
scheduled for the 15-round distance
at Grifhth Stadium Wednesday
night.
The colored boy virtually is toss
ing his future out the back window
by boxing joey here, for it now is a
well grounded superstition that
Archibald can't lose in Wash
ington. He doesn't lose even when
he seems to-if you get the idea.
And there's nothing fixed or phony
about it. Call it the luck of the
Irish If you will. but joey has a
fistful of four-leaf clovers when
they pass out the decisions In the
Capital.
$1,000 Guarantee Odd Angle.
There are some curious angles to
the scrap, not the least of which is
Archibald's $4,000 guarantee. Guar
antees, or the lack of them, were
responsible for a fiSSure in the
featherweight crown a couple Of
years ago when Al WE'LL, Joey's
astute agent, refused to sign to box
Harry Jeffra for a nickel less than
10 grand. Nobody had that kind Of
dough then, not for featherweight
bouts.
But WE'LL had good cause and
ample precedent TO modestly ask
that wage for his man. Hadn't
Pete Sarron guaranteed Freddy Mil.
Ter $4,000 for their title fight in
which Miller lost the belt? WE'LL
argued Archibald had as much
chance of losing as Miller and want
ed the same fee for the risk involved.
He didn't get it, but succeeded IN
stirring up the placid waters of the
126-pound pond. Archibald later
boxed Jeffra for considerably less
than his $4,000. not once. but three
times. He retained, lost and re-
gained his title claims in those bat
ties, scoring both victories, mind
you, in Washington,
Wright Is on Spot.
Pete Scalzo, meanwhile. was wear
ing the National Boxing Association
mantle as a consequence of his

of Richey Lemos and eventually

Archibald has come down in his
price for the title by accepting an
So 900 guarantee, but there are some
fans who incline toward the belief

boy by Wright without extreme
damage to pocket the eight grand
and keep his title claims. On the

summer. Federal regulation Will be
the only logical solution of +he
problem.
Migratory fishes are in no way
different from migratory birds. The
Federal Government stepped in to
put a stop to the uncontrolled
slaughter of wildfowl. These regu-
lations supercede State regulations
and in some instances where some
of the States are SO situated that
certain of the bird migratiCns are
gone before the best shooting they
do not have a season comparable
with some other States. These laws
are made to do the most good over
a great area. Federal regulation
could do the same for migratory
fishes.
Fish Held More Important.
Between the two, birds and fishes,
we would say the latter are most
important, for, discounting the fact
that fishing has become the greatest
participation sport in the world
during the last decade, the mi
grating schools of fish are one of
our most important 1ood sources.
They have been since the first
colonist arrived.
Uncontrolled commercial fishing
has been responsible for the COM
plete disappearance of many species.
Some others are in rrecarious
condition. In another 10 years,
without some kind of regulation,
remaining species will fail to meet
the demands of the market.
Modern methods Of fishing are
destructive. That includes inside
as well as offshore fisheries. Bay
pounds kill countless thousands of
small fishes annually. The offshore
travis not only take every living
creature in their way, but they also
Scrape the bottom so bare here
is little fora left to bring other
fishes back. The menhaden fisher
men, through uncontrolled fishing,
take many food fishes and the food
of food-fish schools.
While We are convinced Federal
regulation is the real answer to
the problem, the States pact is q
step in the right direction.
