OUTDOORS

Maryland hatchery trucks have
been planting large numbers of
trout, all running to far above legal
size, against the opening Of the
season on April Is.
They have continued the policy
advocated last fall Of stocking heav-
lily those waters close to well-popu-
lated sections and where fishermen
may get to their sport by public
carrier.
Old-timers have had their rods
and tackle in shape for many weeks
It is the novices who wait until the
last minute to check snake-guides,
lines and flies, but there even is
time for him to get ready.
There is far better assortment
Of tackle In the sports stores than
was expected. And anything short
Of major repair job is possible.
Newcomers are after information
about flies suitable to nearby
streams. The two best dry flies
and 1t usually is possible to use your
feathers dry in this locality right on
from opening day-the the black
gnat and the royal coachman
The best streamer is the Mickey
Finn, although Streamers in all COL
or combina tions appear at times to
produce equally well, In fact. it
seems as though any fly is worth
trying at least until it Is found
wanting. If YOU have some from
back home, give them a try before
buying others.
There are many Maryland
streams such as Beaver and Big
Hunting, where special regulations
are IN force. On these waters the
State creel limit of 10 is reduced
to and no bait or mechanical lures
arc permitted. That means spin
ners and even lures shaped to rep
resent night crawlers and other In

PHILADELPHIA, April 7.-Bayo-
net fighting and ju-jitsu will be all

William ]. Herman said today.
And Herman, scion of four gen.
erations of physical culturists, ought
to know. For $50 years before him
his family made a neat living by
catering to the whims of sports
devotees here and In Europe, and
Herman himself, a former United

Alexander Is Amino
To Use Archibald
As Fi5tic Ladder
D. c. Boxer Sees Chance
For Bigger Battles if
He Scores Friday

Carroll CKid) Alexander, the
Washington youngster who meets
Joey Archibald, former world feath-
erweight champion, in the eight
round feature match on Friday
nights boxing program at Uline
Arena, Is viewing the engagement
as a chance to step upward in the
boxing world.
He's a gritty little youngster with
lots Of potential class and seldom
has had soft touch since turning
professional. He formerly was a
member of the Georgetown Boys
Club team in his amateur days and
won the Junior Golden Gloves and
the District AAU championship.
Now % years old, he has won 20
bouts. lost 3 and had / draw in pro
competition.
Has Seen Much Action.
He's not exactly a green hand at
the boxing game and was one Of
Washlngton's busiest fighters while
an amateur. He's been doing all
right as a pro and little more than
a week ago attracted much attention
by knocking out Joe Woodley in
the first round at Baltimore.
Nothing definite has been ar
ranged yet, but Promoter Goldie
Ahearn is talking of the possibility
of match between Fridays winner
and Jackie Callura, the National
Boxing Association feather cham
plon, sometime this summer. Alex
ander might not be ready for that
class OF competition, but he's not far
from some good matches and will be
IN line for them if he stops Archi-
bald. Probably the only thing stand
ing between Archibald and a meet
ing with Callura is.the hard bargain
that Al WE'LL, Joey's manager, usu-
ally drives.
Two Matches Are Added.
Ahearn has completed the pro-
gram for Friday night by adding
two matches, Jimmy McAllister
against George White and Herschel
Todd against Jackie Goodman. Both
are for four rounds. Two other
elghts, in addition to the feature,
previously were announced, with
Louis kid Cocoa meeting Young
Kid Robinson and Herbert Marshall
fighting Napoleon Mitchell. The
latter are heavyweights.
A little contract trouble is cloud
ing the Mitchell issue at present.
but Ahearn hopes to have it cleared
by Friday. From New Jersey comes
word that Mitchell has a contract
to fight Client Conway at Newark
on April -. The trouble seems to
be that Mitchell has too many man
ayers, one Of them having signed
with Ahearn and another with the
New Jersey crowd. Ahearn's con-
tract seems to be dated ono day
earlier. however, 50 Mitchell prob
ably will fight here. Just In case
some last-minute hitch develops,
Goldle announces he will have an
other heavyweight In reserve,
