T axe MyWord for 1t
BY FRANK COLBY.
Surprise Word of the Week

SUI TpTisr VOFu O1 the week.
Recently I asked IS persons to
pronounce the word corroborate
meaning TO confirm" All but one
! speech teacher, mispronounced it
as "koe-OB- B-uh-rate.' Indeed, !
think 1t will come as = distinct sur
prise to many OF my readers that
"koe-OB-uh-rate" is altogether in
correct.
Note the spelling Not even the
most practiced R-dropper of New
England or the South can properly
dispense with the second OF the
two RS" for 1t begins the second
syllable, thus: cor-rob-o-rate.
The correct pronunciation Is:
kuh-ROB-o -oh-rate.
! It's Hard to Believe.

days of the 10, 20 and 30 melo-
dramas when it was considered
good form to hiss the villain of
the stage? Have you ever heard
town hall audience boo" q

baseball fans try to confuse the
pitcher by clapping and stamping
in unison? Such a demonstration
OF disapproval was known to the
ancient Romans as explosum, from
explode, ito make a noisy demon
stration so as to drive a player of
the stage"
BY extension. these meanings fol-
lowed: To disapprove; to reject; te
disprove; to burst with a loud report

With BILL AcKERMAN.

On the near side of the Chesa-
peake there are few bridges from
which fishermen may fish for striped
bass, such as Eastern Shoremen do
at Cambridge, over the Eastern Bay
Narrows and at several other places.
Instead, the striper addict must
rely upon casting with surf equip
ment.
That stretch Of the Chesapeake
from Holland Point to the mouth
of the -Patuxent, and up this river
as we'll, Is favorable to such type
Of fishing.
Since Clifton and Jessie Ralph
made the first catch reported from
the beach at Plum Point, some days
back, we have been expecting to
hear Of others, particularly from
the pier at Seaside. That good
catches have not been made Is not
discouraging. They will be before
the hot weather drives of the fish
to deeper water and most likely at
the time Of the arrival of the first
hardheads at this point.
Holland Point, just a mile above
North Beach, Is recognized point
Of concentration of young striped
bass. They school there unfailingly,
but because it takes a power boat
this place hardly will prove as popu-
lar rs Breezy and Plum Points be-
low, where small boats are available.
Just what will be the status of
the Point Patience grounds in the
Patuxent above Solomons now is
not known, because much of the
surrounding area has been taken
over for war installations. Whether
this will prevent fishermen from
reaching these grounds, where big
bass have schooled regularly, re-
mains to be learned.
For those with an outboard motor,
trolling Point Patience will be q
simple matter IL there Is no curtail-
ment Of boat movement, for skiffs
are available at Solomons.

FDR May Name Three
To Oversee Sports,
Is Capitol Rumor
Kelly Reported in Line
As Leader; Mead Denies
He'll Take Position
By the Associated Press.

By the Assoeiaaed Prsss.
Reports have circulated at the
Capitol that President Roosevelt
may appoint . committee Of three
to oversee sports In wartime rather
than naming one man as sports CO.
ordinator.
Senator Chandler. one Of Q group
OF legislators striving to keep sports
alive during the war, said he under
stood the job will be given to .
committee.
Most prominently mentioned Is
either co-ordtnator or committee
chairman. Chandler said, is John
Kelly, Philadelphia sports enthusiast.
Herbert Bayard swope. consultant
on public policy to the War Depart
ment, said in New York that Senator
James Mead was in line for appoint
ment as co-oFdinator.
However, Mead said he hadn't
been offered such Q Job and didn't
expect to be. I'm convinced" the
New Yorker said. that the position
which I understand would be more
of q iaison job, should be filled by
civilian
Both Chandler and Mead said the
duties Of such an authority primarily
would be to keep sports from inter-
fering with the war effort.
