Con Dadnla Famed Fighter Hard Days Of Baseball Still Active

Maryland. Virginia Bus Services to Help
Gus-Rotoned Fishermen to Enjoy Sport

With gas rationing here, most of
the fishing activities of local anglers
will be confined to Southern Mary
land between Annapolis and Solo
mons Island. With an allowance of
only three gallons of fuel per week,
those seeking sport probably will
have to depend largely on bus
service.
Reduced to gallons of gas, the
round-trip cost of getting to these
fishing ports would be: Annapolis
and South River. four gallons; West
River and Herring Bay. four gall
Ions; Chesapeake Beach and Breezy
Point, more than four gallons Long
Beach, Kenwood and Solomons
would approximate seven gallons.
Annapolis and South River may
be reached by Greyhound bus. From
the Maryland capital the Red Star
service covers the Eastern Shore
and the resorts along the ocean
front. There also is train service to
Cape Charles.
Next Saturday, the Washington,
MARLBORO q Annapolis Line Will
start weekend service to North
Beach. Reservations should be made
going and coming. The two trips
each way on Saturday and the three
on Sunday will allow fishermen con-
siderable time either to fish from
the pier or to go out in a boat.
Deal, on Herring Bay, isn't served
by bus. At present, Solomons has
but one bus each way, and because
1t is meant to cater to the needs
Of the islanders, it comes to Balti-
more in the morning and returns
in the evening. Connections from
here are made through Greyhound
bus to the Pigeon House on Route
so, and it takes two nights to &C
complish one day of fishing
Along the western shore OF Vir-
ginia there now is adequate trans
portation to most of the fishing
ports. For those that are short
distances of the main line, boat
men are planning to find a means
OF getting parties to the water.

Opponents for District
CoIored ButtIers Yet
To Be Selected

Two of the Districts best-known
colored boxers have been added to
the list of those competing in the
May 81 show at Griffith Stadium
for Navy Relief. Oscar Wright and
Billy Banks, lightweights, will be
sent against opponents as yet I'M
named in support Of the double
feature listing Lee Savold against
Lou Nova, heavyweights, and George
Abrams against Steve Mamakos,
middleweights.
Wright, fast-punching boy, won
from joey Zodda in his last appear
ance in Washington while Banks
has been scoring consistently over
strong opposition in Baltimore.
Eventually it is planned to match
them.
The District Boxing Commission
was credited with generous
gesture today, having waived it's
usual 10 per cent take off the top.
This was decided by unanimous
vote Of Commissioners Claude Owen,
Thomas Morgan and 1t. John
Agnew.
Added interest has been given the
Savold-Nova bout by word that the
winner may be pited against Heavy
weight Champion Joe Louis in place
OF injured Billy Conn. Savold, who
never has boxed Louis, would receive
particular attention in the event of
decisive win over Nova, but Man
ager Ray Carlin also will be ready
to put in his claim for another
Nova-Louis 60 should his boy come
through on May 81.

NEW YORK, May 13.-Jimmy
Smith, the fighting father in law
of Fighter Billy Conn, earned him
self q lasting reputation in the major
+ leagues as a fearless scrapper in
the two listed era of the game.
He was a good enough inf1elder
that the Pittsburgh Pirates picked
him as the successor to the immortal
Honus Wagner at shortstop in 1916,
but he hurt his ankle in the first
game of the season. Now the fates
have brought him different fame.
timers are full OF stories about
his escapades.
There was the time in 1921 when
he was with the Phils. One night
he went to Camden, N. j., to see
Roy Steele, a great basket ball
player of the day.
Smith was in such a hurry to
catch the 11:30 ferry in order to
beat the training curfew that he
hoped onto the boat without a
ticket. He became involved in q
bloody battle with several dock
policemen and ended up in jail with
six stitches in his head.
At Al He Appears 30.
Teammates bailed him out with
out telling Manager Kize Wilhelm
and the following afternoon Smith
played second base.
Most of Smiths encounters start
ed as innocently as that. He had,
and still has, quick temper, but
In his playing days he never drank
or smoked. He made a fetish of
being in condition and was an out
standing all-around athlete.
He is Al years old now, but ap-
pears 30, and for the last week or
two worked out with the Pirates at
Pittsburgh along with his son Tom
my, who has baseball aspirations
and shows promise. Smith was
caddy in his youth and now plays
golf in the 70's.
His big league baseball career
started with Chicago in the Federal
League in 1915. He went to Balti-
more the same year and later played
with Pittsburgh, New York, Gin
cinnati and Philadelphia in the Ma
tional Leagues
He never weighed more than 155
tn those days and is only 10 pounds
heavier now, a dapper dresser with
curly, sandy hair. He feared no one
nor any numbers
Challenged Entire Brooklyn Team.
He was one of the leaders of the
battling Cincinnati Reds who bagged
the world championship in 1919.
That summer the Reds and Giants
were involved in a ding-dong pen
nant struggle and one of their
games ended in q riot at the Polo
Grounds after Dolph Luque, pitch
ing for the Reds, beaned Rube Ben
ton. Witnesses say Smith was the
individual winner in the free-for-
all.
At another time he is said to have
challenged the entire Brooklyn team
without Dodger leaving the bench.
Smith always was a great admirer
Of John McGraw and once kicked a
patron literally out of his saloon in
Pittsburgh because of some dis
paraging remarks about the Little
Napoleon Of the Giants.
Smith used to defeno Uonn, too,
when the young Irish boxer was
just getting started and before he
started dating Smiths attractive
daughter, Mary Louise.
Even after the two were married
and Conn and Smith carried their
verbal sparring into public, Smith
remained friendly with COINS fam
lily. He attended Billy's mothers
funeral at Atlantic City.
But that seems long time ago,
now.
