Turf Notable

Ashes OF William Tecumseh Ander-
son, who would have been II on
May 2, will be sprinkled on the in
field Of Belmont Park, New York, to-
day to close one Of the most colorful
careers OF the American turf.
Known to his tntimates as Fatty
because Of his more than $50 pounds.
Anderson was known to the entire
racing fraternity as an owner,
breeder, buyer. trainer and bettor
extraordinary.
Won Vast Sum on Race.
Anderson, who died Saturday after
4 seven-year illness, was one of a
group Of men who glorified in the
bet 4 million" label and 1t was In
1925 that he won more than a quar-
ter Of a million dollars on a single
race.
At the time Anderson, a native of
Legrand, Mo-, was owner OF the
Chula Vista stables and his English
bred colt, Calaris, was in training
for the Cofforth Handicap at Tia
Juana.
Anderson kept secret 1873 mile

OUTDOORS
With BILL AcKERMAN.

Capital anglers, fishing nearby
streams, have been somewhat dis
appointed with what they have
found in the way of trout It might
be because of the weather, or it
might be that the sucker fishermen
cleaned out these streams before the
opening of the season.
The best creel noted on any Mont
gomery County stream was caught
by a State game warden. Why
Maryland-paid wardens, who have
inside information. are allowed to
fish is difficult to understand. 1t is
safe to say that so long as the
practice continues 1t will be i'm
possible to get the full cooperation
Of sportsmen.
Paint Branch is the best of the
streams close to Washington and is
reached by following the Sligo pike
out Of Silver Spring. 1t was stocked
heavier than any other, and there
probably we're some fish left from
previous stockings.
Rock Run and Cabin John Run
are best reached from Aqueduct
road and Potomac road beyond Ken
wood. Rock Run in the past has
produced some swell trout. Neither
stream-particularly Rock Run
will stand much heavy fishing,
Mill Greek. reached from the road
from Rockville to Derwood, may be
fished up or down to Rock Greek.
Muncaster Branch, or North Fork
Of Rock Greek, has been stocked, but
only enough to supply an excuse to
give it try.
In fact, these streams should be
fished only when it is impossible to
range farther away. The best flsh-
ing will continue to be found in
Frederick County, where the choice
is Big Hunting Greek. Fishing
Creek apparently has been pretty
well cleaned out by the mountain
folk.

Tom was one Of the younger sons;

of the family left. The father was,

provided his wife and children
with q cosy and well kept home
