With BILL ACKERMAN.

Down on Chesapeake Bay, where
vantage without harming in any
way the larger than usual hardhead
schools, it is banned because recrea-
tional fishing Is classed as non
essential. Some ports are adhering
strictly to the mo pleasure fishing,
but at others there is some angling
1t appears that enforcement officers
just haven't reached those areas At
some they are stopping every boat
that leaves the dock with a party
Those stopped undoubtedly will find
it difficult to renew their supplies
Of fuel. while their fares will find it
even harder to explain how they can
make round trips of 10 or 80 miles on
A rations.
Should they hold B or c cards,
there just is no explanation.
Catfishing may be followed under
the worst conditions, for Ole Whis-
kers apparently has an exceptional
sense of smell that takes him un-
failingly to a bait, even though it is
unseen in the swirling silt. Many
are enjoying this pastime, but few
are using their catches for the
table. They cannot believe, for some
reason, that any fish so ugly can
have delectable flesh.
Catfish caught in the Anacostia
and in the Potomac between WASH
ington and Alexandria aren't recon-
mended. Better fish them just for
fun and give the river above Three
Sisters q try for food.
The average size of the channel
variety Of catfish here Is about 2
pounds. At times one runs up to 80
pounds, however. So anything less
than a 4-ounce tip and six-thread
line is unwise.
The fly rod enthusiast would do
better In the small, fast streams
flowing into the Potomac up the
Virginia shore. This fishing re-
quires Virginia license.

begging for chance to get his title
back from Jackie Callura, was due
in Washington today to begin pub

Twelfth Street YMCA. Villar may
transfer his activities to Turner's
Arena for workout at about the
same time as Wilson, scheduled for

Explains Wilson's Defeats.
Wilson, who stopped Danny Petro,
has puzzled local ring fans as to
how he lost his title to Jackie CAL
lura. Callura lost to Lew Hanbury
here and. while good fighter, didn't
impress the local gentry as being in
Wilson'S class. Harry Burnkrant,
Wilson's manager. yesterday ex-
planned that in the first fight Will
son fought with arms damaged in
an accident. In the second fight,
held in Boston, Burnkrant said, Will
son won from here to China and
back and, although the referee voted
for him. the two judges saw Callura
as the winner The customers that
night raised the roof in dissent, he
added.
So anxious Is Wilson to regain
the title and so certain of success if
he ever catches Callura, that Burn
krant says: IF we can get Callura
into the ring again we'll pay all our
own training expenses and donate
our end Of the purse to boxings

Hart Wants to Slug.
Hart. disliking the tag of counter
puncher, promises to make a fast
attack from the start. If Villar
wants to make a fight of it, let him
come OUT and slug with me-" says
Hart.
Villar lets Terry Wint, his SPAR
mate. do his talking. and Wint comes
out with fat prediction that Villar
will flatten Hart in five rounds, or
less.

Modge Lewis Sudden Stordom
Gets Her High U. S. Pin Roting
Rise Of Clarendon Bowler Remarkable;
Lucy Rose Makes Bio Bid for No.

She was little known as bowler
a year ago, yet when the National
Duckpin Bowling Congress women's
rankings are released next month,
one of the choice spots will go to
Madge Lewis, so swift has been the
rise of the raven-haired Clarendon
Bowling Center star.
A check on the leading woman
duckpin bowlers of the country by
Arville Ebersole, executive secretary
of the NDBC. today revealed that
only five fair rollers top Mrs. Lewis
in special events.
Ida Simmons of Norfolk was in her
usual first-place spot with an aver
age of 124-6 for At games. Lucy
Rose OF Rosslyn, who stands more
than an even chance Of succeeding
Miss Simmons as the queen Of the
mapleWays, was the runnerup with
l2l-49 for 1873 games.
Baltimore Woman Third.
Elizabeth Barger of Baltimore held
third place with 1888 for 1lO
games and Flo Reynolds OF Water
town, Conn, stood fourth with
1923 for As games.
Lorraine GULL of Washington, who
held the No. ranking for six con-
secutive years. was fifth with 1875
for Ill games. Mrs. Lewis trailed
the famous Hi-Skor roller with
ll7-45 for 154 games.
Only Mrs. Rose comes close to
rolling as many games as Mrs Lewis
and this item alone will serve tc
boost the Clarendon pinspiller's final
ranking since the NDBA awards two
pins game for the difference in the
total games rolled. AS an example
Mrs. Lewis would receive PA extra
pins in compiling her average
against that of Miss Simmons due to
the difference of 107 games. This
item promises to be an important
factor in determining the No.
position between the Norfolk wonder
and Mrs. Rose.
The statistics given out by Eber-
sole do not include the pinfall of the
Capitals Big Three in the Claren-
don head-to-head elimination nor
the Washington Women's Duckpin
Association tournament but in both
events Mrs. Lewis had a heavier pin
fall than Mrs. Rose and Miss GULL
