Hope said Word from my Attor-

But Bill Veeck, Jr., in whose
name a Syndicate made the of1er

'0'TO0LE DIRECTS
PUNCHES AT EACAN
Irishman Pressing
For Investigation Into
Louis Conn Bout

WASHINGTON, June 21.-P-
That fighting Irishman from Brook,
Ign, Rep. Donald L. O'Toole, turn
ed his punches toward Eddie Eag-
an Friday in pressing for an in
vestigation of the Joe Louis-Billy
Conn bout.
O'Toole made a brief speech on
the floor of the House in which he
reiterated that he was filing a
500, 900 suit against Promoter
Mike Jacobs, complaining that tho
promoter accused him of %extortion.
Jacobs claims that O'Toole's of
flee phoned for complimentary
tickets, which were refused.
O'Toole then turned his attention
to Eagan. In a 500-word extern
sion of his remarks for publica.
ton in the Congressional Record,
O'Toole asserted that it is Eagan's
duty as New York State Boxing
Commission Chairman to conduct
an investigation of the world
heavyweight title bout.
About the time O'Toole was ex-
pending his campaign, the Justice
Department took itself out of the
capitals fistic front lines in a
hurry. 1t denied a published story
that it would look into both box
ing and baseball for antitrust
violations.
O'Toole said he has received no
reply from Eagan to a telegram
sent Thursday demanding an in
vestigation.
Postmaster General Robert E.
flanagan, who had a ringside seat
at the fight, said upon his return
to his office Friday that he was
very disappointed in the bout
but sees no need of a boxing szar.
He commented, however, thai
every section of the United States
should have an opportunity to see
good, first-class fights In this
way we would develop better
fighters and we would have better
championship Matches"
This reference apparently was to
recurrent criticisms such as those
made by O'Toole that Jacobs has
a monopoly on the top-flight

this was a mans task a real hard
job to pitch a tent while the wind
is blowing.
While Ralph took charge of the
commissary, We got out the cast
nets, catching little mullets for
bait. CThere was no such thing as
bait for sale in those days.. A
quick lunch and another search for
bait was begun. Often in the spring
months, bait was scarce and awful
ly hard to find.
Baint Hard To Find
l have known five men to start
fishing, catching only ten small
mullets between them and it took
four long hard hours of hard cast
net fishing to get those ten mullets.
We generally started fishing
about 4:30 in the afternoon, begin.
ming at the ocean point and work
ing back into the inlet as the tide
got up. In the spring months we
avoided Blue fish When bait was
scarce and used our mullets for
bigger game.
The three hours from 4:3O until
dusk always brought in lots of fish
in the 80 pound class and OCCASION
ally forty Founders were caught.
At the end of the day it was a prob
lem to get rid of the surplus fish.
We usually stayed from three to
five days and after the first day
most of our catch was returned to
the water as soon as they were
weighed.

Realizing the wonderful possibili-
ties of Topsail, Theo Empie and l
purchased the place in 1912. A
roomy fishing shack, A pump that
supplied excellent water and a 200

In time came the automobile,
cupboard motor boats and the IN

drive his car right to Topsail, and
to within one mile of the inlet and
the fishing is still good there.
One fall month, not so long ago,
while the Blues were running along
the coast. A party of six spent ten
days at Topsail, They landed 173
drum, mostly small, and over 1900
blue fish. Catching sc many fish
they had to send to Hampstead for
experienced cleaners and salters.
Maybe that's why Blues have been
so scarce lately; But they did not
get them all, for on Wednesday,
June 10, a party fishing there,
made a catch of So blues, a large
trout and two drum.
Yes, fellow fisremen, the fish
ing is still good at Topsail.
