old question-what has become Of
the blues?
Normally, the first run of sea
trout in Chesapeake Bay waters is
small. The average weight is well
below pounds. Even an occasional
one around S pounds Is out OF the
ordinary. Yet we know of two top
ping the 6-pound mark. The latest
catch was made by Stewart F.
Richards at Point Patience. 1t has
been predicted this will be an ex-
ceptional trout year and catches
of big fish before the season really
gets under way make the predic-
ton seem sound.
Bait for Bass Is Scarce.
Until the last two seasons, bait
was far more popular than plugs or
flies for bass fishing in the Potomac.
Now the trend toward mechanical
lures is Nation wide. Seeing the
strike more than doubles the fun.
| With waters rolled as they have
/ been hereabout the last several
weeks, plugging and f1y-ishing
aren't so productive. But bait fish
ermen are able to pursue their sport

OUTDOORS
Schools Of Small BIuefish Are Running
p. At Ocean City; Sea Trout Coming in

Bluefish schools have been re-
ported at Ocean City, on the North
Carolina beaches north of Oregon
Inlet, on the Southern Jersey coast,
and finally down the Virginia shore.
None of the fish except a very few
caught at Ocean City exceeded 2
pounds in weight, which appears to
label them the summer" variety
small fellows that never followed
the main schools.
Since 1936-the last year blues of
any size were caught-these small
blues have been in their usual
haunts season after season, and
sometimes in really large numbers.
The normal schools of large blues
variously have been reported off the
coast of Portugal and in the Gulf
Of Mexico.
The two most plausible reasons
advanced for their change of habitat
are the low point in the natural 10
year cycle and the continued heavy
take from the menhaden and her
ring schools - bluefish food - by
commercial draggers.
Larger Fish Likely.
No matter where the big schools
have gone, we should have had
larger fish by now from the schools
of little fellows, for after all, they
do grow up-and surprisingly fast.

De Chard Apt 10 End
Brief Pro Career
In Reiss Fight
Firemon's Job Seen Curb
To Boxing; Drew Benefit
Program Sparkling

He doesn't know it yet, but Fire
man Jimmy De Chard may be
making his farewell appearance as
a heavyweight fighter tonight when
he steps into the ring at Grifnth
Stadium to battle young al Reiss
of Detroit.
Their eight-round session head
lines a bargain bill of slugging for
the benefit of the late Preston
Drew's widow and children. Drew
died after his first professional ap-
pearance recently before a home
town crowd in a bout with Lew
Hanbury. Hanbury, who made his
pro debut in that ill-fated engage
ment, also is on tonight's card.
De Chard's future is rather hazy,
but if the Fire Department follows
the Police Departments lead it'll
order him to cease and desist hence
forth. 1t might not be bad idea,
for Jimmy isn't patterned for pro
fighting at which he has had only
a brief fling. It simply isn't his
nature and more outspoken critics
who have followed his pro career
carefully seriously doubt il he ever
would be better than grade B per-
former. Nobody ever questioned
De Chards courage under fire. His
loss to Joe Baksi proved he has
plenty Of moxie. 1t simply is that
he has no appetite for the bloody
business.
In laying down his plumbers tools
to don the blue of fireman, Jimmy
gave up higher salary for economic
security. 1t was a broad hint that
he wasn't counting too much on the
ring as means OF a livelihood. 1t
Is recalled that he refused to pay
too much attention to boxing until
he had served his plumbing appren-
ticeship, erecting bulwark against
the lean, bitter FOSTERING days that
so many fighters experience.
If De Card does continue, boxing
will be more Of a sideline with him
than heretofore. Curiously enough,
he may have more time for training
in his new work, for on the con-
struction job he left home early
in the morning and seldom returned
before 7:30. He also toiled harder
than the average fireman, which
Is no reflection on the smoke
eaters, and frequently was too ex-
hausted to train properly.
De Chard Is the choice over Reiss
tonight, although it should be a
bankup battle.
The entire card includes 46 rounds
and 1t should be we'll worth watching.
