A full brother of Omaha and a
half brother of Faireno, a pair of
former champions, probably will be
seen in action next year.
They are among a dozen yearlings
whom William Woodward bred in
Kentucky and is raising at his Bel
air stud farm in Maryland. AS usual,
they will be prepared for their start
by Jim Fitzsimmons at the Aque-
duct track in New York
Omaha's brother, big chestnut
colt, is called Oceanus and is eligi-
bic for the 1943 Futurity and the
1914 Belmont.
Although Oceanus was not tried
highly in his yearling tests, Trainer
FitZSimmons is certain his sturdi-
ness, conformation, soundness, man.
nerS and way Of going will make
him a winner as was Omaha, victor
in the 1885 Kentucky Derby.
Merrimac is the name of Faireno's
kin He is by Sir Gallahad III out
of Minerva while his illustrious
brother was by Chatterbox. He is
dark bay colt and already has at
tracted more attention than Faireno
at a like stage in their careers.

what happened? No more than q
continued show of regional jealousy,
and an undetermined stand because
there was no factual statements
from Maryland and Virginia men,
bers in regard to the striped bass,
or blue crab. The status of the
channel bass was laid aside for
future consideration, which means
the Legislatures of the States most
affected will have met, and ad-
journed for another two years, be-
fore the committee meets to for
mulate recommendations.
Friction May Kill Commission.
A pretty sorry picture indeed, but
just about what was expected. The
continual injection Of regional in
terests eventually will mean the
death of the commission, and, there
will be Federal control over migra-
tory fishes with no partiality to
either commercial or recreational
interests.
AS a matter Of fact there is right
now a Federal Bureau with the
power to take over if and when 1t
sees fit. Should it not do so sports
mems organizations, grown in power
during the last several years, will be
in position to swing adequate legis-
lation for their protection. If this
becomes necessary the pendulum
easily might swing further than
commercial interests will like.
