u. s. Pilots, Tank
Crews Aid British

The Nazi claim that their forces
have reached the Volga was news
of real gravity. With the sever
ance of rail routes leading north
from Stalingrad the Russians have
been employing the Volga as their
chief transport route for moving
supplies north and south.
If German troops have reached
the Volga and can bring river trans
port to a halt. the defense of Stall
ingrad will be greatly handicapped
and the Russian task of moving
vital oil, gasoline, and food supplies
north from the Caspian will be-
come much more difficult.

desert of Egypt where British forces
reinforced with American planes

In the Chesapeake Bay area there
are few bridges from which anglers

but little.
The exception is the bridge over
the Choptank River on the Eastern

tage point for hardhead fishermen

flies. They seldom consider salt
water fishing seriously until the
trout season is over. So far 1t is
hard to determine whether holders
of Maryland licenses or those from
the Old Dominion are having the
best fishing.
Rumor brought more than q little
discomfort this week to anglers who
were unable to get down to the Bay
last Sunday, but 1t need not have
for there were few large catches.
Hardheads were caught in many
sections of the Bay and up the
Patuxent River, and the fish were
extremely large for April, but boats
that brought In more than eight
or 10 were lucky.
The first hardheads were caught
of the pier at Seaside, and with
them were few stripers Boats

small catches.
First choice for this week end is
Benedict on the Patuxent, or Brooms

from West River the Hill" in the
mouth of Eastern Bay on the other
side, should be found productive.
However, the first fishing in any
season is a grab-bag proposition.
Blood worms and soft crab are
the best bats now.
Graphic Fishing Improving.
Crappie fishing appears to be
getting better in Gunston and Oc-
coquan, but most Of the boys are
going after the herring with fiyrod
and feather.
Many do not know what they are
catching, and upon asking rivermen
find the name of taylor little help.
The taylor herring. or hickory shad,
Is common species in the Chesa-
peake and Potomac. 1t reaches a
length of "a inches and weighs
three pounds. It's depth of body
gives 1t the ability to put up a real
battle, and the undershot jaw, like
that of the tarpon, makes them hard
to hook.
The best fishing appears to be
below the dam in Occoquan Creek.
The best lures are small johnson
silver minnows and 90 metalures
with the bangle, but any white
streamer fly should be as productive.
Some anglers are tying maribo on
triple hooks, which, if small, will be
found to be better than the single
hook lures.
Channel bass still are at Oregon
Inlet and along the beaches north
and south in large numbers. With
continued cool days they will make
no further advancement up the
coast. There should be at least
three, and possibly four weeks more
of this fishing. Small white feathers
are the best lures when casting from
boats. Cut bats, fished on the bot
tom, bring better results from the
beach.

New Finish Site Adds
To Marathon Course
For Motor Boots

The finish line for the 18th annual
Albany to New York City motor
boat marathon down the Hudson

fixed at the yacht basin at 10th

The finish line in recent years
has been at Dyckman street and
the new site will make the 1912
river grind approximately miles
longer or 1856 miles from the start
at the Albany Yacht Club.
The selection Of the Park De-

minus Of the race will provide an
unexcelled vantage point for thou
sands OF additional spectators.
! Many veterans Of previous races
now are serving with the armed
forces or occupied with war pro-
duction jobs that prevent competing
this year, but an unusual number
of newcomers are showing interest.
Among the early entries was that
of Fred Jacoby, jr., of North Bergen,
N. j., who will defend the crown
won last year. Jacoby, who also
won the river classic in 1885, will
attempt to join Clayton Bishop,
Onset, Mass, fire chief, as the only
triple victor.
Among the inboard entrants are
two 225-cubic- hydroplane pi-
lots, Bill John Of Rye, with Sally
Ann, jr., and Bill Bourne Of Larch-

The new system, it was stressed

without requiring a yacht to be
boarded every time it goes out for a
cruise.
If physically possible, the num-
bers also are TO be painted on decks
