assembled in a 145-pound frame, &c
against Washington's Frankie Wills
In the feature 10-rounder. Arm
strong is 81 favorite to beat Wills
for his seventh straight triumph or
the current comeback tour.
Wills is given a fair chance oi
going the route, something Arm
strong's previous six opponents have
failed to do, and there even is q
small section Of the Districts fight
public expecting Frankie to end
Armstrong's victory string. There
always is . possibility he will dc
that. At LAT pounds, the weight
he must make tonight, Wills is the
heaviest boy the Hammer ever has
faced here. He's also the most ex-
perienced. Armstrong in previous
Washington stopovers has chilled
Phil Furr, Johnny Cabello, Saverio
Turiello and Lew Hanbury.
Wills Primed for Big Effort.
Wills, a combination boxer and
puncher, has had month of serious
straining under Heinie Blaustein in
Baltimore and is fired for a big
effort tonight. He really is sure of
himself this time, something he
wasn't when facing Bunny Davis
las Ia underdog here q year ago,
sbut he won that one. Frankie Is q
@airly smart boxer, with ability to
kprotect himself in the tough spots
and he also has the ability to take q
few hard shots without folding.
He comes to this Armstrong fight
with a good record behind him, with
successive victories over Joe Agosta,
Red Doty and Ernest (Cat) Robin
son (twice), with the only setback
against him loss to Bob Montgom-
cry at the ball park last summer.
Helping the possibility Of his going
the 10-round distance tonight is the
fact that he never has been knocked
out.
A lot weighs in Wills favor to-
night, but Armstrong has much more
In his favor. He's just bad news to

Some OF the real Old-ttMerS up
and down the Potomac will remem-
Der unbelievable runs of shad, her
ring, striped bass, and even great
sturgeon.
The sturgeon is beyond help. 1t is
doubtful that Uncle Sam, with all
his facilities, ever could bring back
this fine fish, and it's another black
mark against humans signpost
along the road to easy money.
It has been the thought in many
quarters the same fate awaits the
other species if steps to prevent it
are not taken shortly.
One need not go back 50 many
years to remember the large runs Of
shad each spring. The catch in the
Potomac in 1900 totaled 1900, 900
pounds. It has dropped steadily
until just few seasons back the
catch was but 5000, 900 pounds.
Because the number Of shad Ash
ermen in this area has been re-
AuSSd by WoA SOAAAAeIOA1cy nDOut tW1CC
as many shad are escaping the nets
to ascend to the spawning grounds
and reproduce.
The United States Fish and Wild
life Service expects, due to the larger
numbers Of spawning fish, a consid-
cradle increase in the abundance Of
shad, but according to Charles E
jackson, acting director Of the serv-
ice, 1t will be only temporary If this
fishery returns to its former inten-
sity after the war.
1t is hard to believe, but proved
beyond any doubt by biologists that
as recently as 1899, 90 per cent Of
all shad entering the capes Of the
Chesapeake were caught by COM
mercial fisheries. In 1943, with many
Of the meters in service, about II
per cent Of the run was caught.
Yet that slight increase Of is per
cent allowed to escape has more
than doubled the number Of spawn
Ing shad to reach the headwaters Of
the Potomac, the Chesapeake and
other tributaries.
