The experience of conservation

Associated Press Sports Writer.


Beginning his goth year in the
major leagues, Manager Joe Cronin
of the Red Sox, generally regarded
as one of baseball's greatest short
stops Of the last two decades, may
become Boston's regular first base
man this season.
Cronin, who passed the military
draft age last October IL, never
played the initial sack until last year
when the tardy appearance OF Liu
Finney, coupled with the sale of
Tony Lupien to the Philadelphia
Phillies, led the jut-jawed Irishman
to don the first baseman's mitt. He
appeared in 76 games and hit PAL
including five homers.
Cronin brought the same mitt TO
the Pleasantville IN. j. camp with
him Wednesday and emphasized his
comeback" attempt yesterday by
slamming the first batting pitch over
the left field fence. With Finney
gone into the service, and George
Metkovich, who was expected to
hold down the bag, in l-A, Cronin
may reach the 100-games- played
mark for the first time since 194l.
Only four other Yawkeymen were
in uniform, but before the day end
ed Pitchers Otis Clark and Vic
johnson showed up at the hotel and
word was received that Veteran
Hurler Joe Bowman had accepted
terms and would report Immediately
Newhouser, Overmire at Camp.
Other training camp notes:
Detroit Tigers-Squad reached II
with arrival of Pitchers Hal New
houser and Frank Overmire. New
houser said he'd make sure he
could pitch nine innings before sea-
son starts as he believed three-inn-
ing jobs in spring training was not
enough to tune up his arm.

With eight consecutive six-round

step up his ring education to the
8-round class on an all-star card

Pratt is the fighter who put the

The proposed series OF IA dams
on the Potomac River and its
tributaries, to be built as post
war hydroelectric project of the
U. S. Army Engineers, in the opin-
ion of ichthyologists, would spell
the doom of the small-mouth black
bass in the river. 1t is possible that
these finest of fresh-water game
fish may be able to exist Tor a
time in certain stretches at the
heads of the lakes to be formed,
but not for long. There are not
many small-mouth bass rivers left
in the country, and the Potomac
with it's tributaries is one OF the
finest remaining.
We have heard it argued that
these proposed lakes will be stocked
with large-mouth bass and that
sport fishermen can look forward
with rejoicing to increased facili-
ties for their recreation. Remem-
Der, however, that these dams and
lakes are for the main purpose of
generating hydroelectric power The
oraWdown." or lowering of the
water level in the lakes to furnish
power, will ring the lakes around
with mud fats in low-water pc
RODS and kill off all marginal vege-
tatton between normal and low
water levels. It is in this marginal
vegetation, where sunlight filtering
through the water promotes life,
that myriads of minute crustacea.
larvae of insects, frogs and min
nows on which game fish forage
live and propagate. Deep water will
not permit the growth of s,,b-
aquatic vegetation of this sort as
not enough light penetrates the
deeper waters to support the higher
forms of plant life.
The Potomac and its tributaries
are for the most part swift-flow-
ing streams. That is one reason whv
they now support small-mouth bass
