season as compared with former
years. Best angling for these fish
seems to be in the lower Patuxent
from the cable crossing up to
Broome Island, and after-dark fish
ing is best. However, some nice fish
have been taken of Kopel's Point
and In the Blackstone Island neigh
borhood on the Potomac side.
A few trout have been taken bot
tom fishing off Solomons, but so far
these fish have not appeared in
abundance. However, as the season
is early for trout the old-timers
claim this augurs well for better
sport later on. Incidentally, crabs
now seem unusually plentiful in the
Bay areas, which with the large
numbers of bait fish present also
is good sign.
There still are large numbers of
blues of fair size off Ocean City
Trout, kingfish and croakers are
hitting all along the beaches of Vir-
ginia, Maryland and Delaware.
Trout fishing from boats at the In
let at Ocean City has been excellent
with the top fish so far scaling IA
pounds. Channel bass fishing at Fox
Hill Levels has been only fair with
best bats shedder crabs and moss
bunkers.
While the bass season opens in
Virginia Friday, small-meuth bass
addicts probably will be disappointed
in water conditions, which are bad
everywhere. Most anglers will con-
fine their fishing to lakes and ponds,
which, though high. at least present
clear waters for the large mouth
bass to be found in them.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE
Philadelphia Phillies had landed
Curt Simmons today after what was
possibly the most vigorous major
league bidding campaign since the
war.
This Simmons fellow is lean
18-year- old southpaw who stands
6-foot-1 and who pitched until June
6 for Whitehall pa High School,
where he ran up one of the most
impressive pitching and batting rec
ords in schoolboy annals
Neither General Manager Herb
Pennock nor President Bob Car
penter, who signed Simmons yes
terday and shipped him to the
Phils' Wilmington DelD farm in
the class B Interstate League, would
disclose how much Simmons re-
ceived for signing.
But Carpenter said it was "a con-
siderable sum" and Pennock amend
ed sit was one of the best contracts
I ever saw"
+ Said Simmons: "It's wonderful" !"

Sheppard 5 Haichei
AyaiIs Him Little as
Moore Wins Easily
BY George Huber

Curtis fHatchetman) Sheppard
left the gold-plated hatchet, which
he carries as a trademark, outside
the ring when he stepped In against
Archie Moore at Grif1ith Stadium
last night. That was q mistake,
because "a with 1t he might have
made 1t q close fight, and (2) the
hatchet itself disappeared some
time during the fight.
without that hatchet he merely
was q slow-moving punching bag,
with ability to take lots Of punish
ment. Moore found him an easy
mark and gave him q brutal beat
ing for the entire 10 rounds. Shep-
pard was q pitifu1 sight In his
dressing room afterward. His whole
face was puffed, his left eye was
bleeding and swollen shut, and he
barely could see out Of his right
eye.
Ths fancy-boxing Moore ducked
Ia and under Sheppard's wild swings
and punished him all the way with
rights to the head and lefts to the
body. Only twice did the Hatchet-
man really connect-once in the
sixth and again In the seventh.
BY that time he was so battered
he hardly stopped Archie for more
than second. In the eighth,
Sheppared hit the floor for an
eight count from sheer exhaustion.
Sheppard had q 23h pound
weight advantage which did him no
good, Weighing 1881 to Moore's ITS.
A small crowd of 3,105 dropped q
gross gate Of $s,781.3 80 and . net Of
$6,455.7l into the box ONCE. The
Damon Runyon Cancer Fund gets
10 per cent.
In the six-round heavyweight
semifinal, Leo Matriccini Of Baltt-
more took close one over Al Ed
wards, Washington. Another heavy
bout of five rounds saw Billy Doerner
OF Brooklyn getting the nod over
Joe Green, Washington. Stonewall
jackson, lightweight, was the only
local boy to win, topping Johnny
Johnikin of New York in six. The
card opened with Bobby Jakes of
Brooklyn stopping Billy Smith OF
Washington at 2:37 of the first.

The Phils' bidding victory was

Philadelphia teams, and the Ma
tional League st. Louis, Pittsburgh,

1t was reported that Sam Breadon,
owner Of the st. Louis Cardinals,
had offered as much as $4,000 for
Curtis signature after Simmons
struck out II Phillies in an exhibi-
ton game that ended A several
weeks ago.
In three seasons Of pitching for
Whitehall High, Simmons lost only
two games. He pitched two no-hit-
ters this season and in one game
struck out % batters.
Simmons filled in at first base
when he wasn't pitching and batted
a neat 400.

He can afford to take it easy,

says Babe Didriksen Zaharias
beats 98-pound Louise because
she eats more.

Babe eats steak that big. How
