but quite q few are being taken at
lower bay points on soft crab bait.
The bay is full of pan rock, but the
big fellows are hard to catch. The
few that were surfacing off Love
Point and In .ae Chester River last
week, have gone their way. Some
still are to be had trolling of Point
Patience in the Patuxent and Tall

is little surety Of catching them.
Baby blueflsh have put in their
appearance in the Solomons area
showing in the tide rip off Cedar
Point for the first time this year
Your writer was there to greet
them, in company with Carter Bar
ron, Casey Jones and DR. Harry An
derson, fishing with Capt. Rody
Langley. We had a good day, inso-
far as small trout and the spot
were concerned, and had moved up
to the Light to do some cumming
for rockflsh. We caught dozens of
them, but returned the vast ma
jcrity to the water.
Noticing the gulls screaming and
dipping off the point above the tide
rip, Capt. Langleys answer to our
inquiry was that they were the
baby blues. His diary notes their
appearance at this spot on the same
day for the last three years The
tide was flooding, so We pulled UP
and moved out over the school to
find that Rody had called the turn.
Your writer caught the first fish, q
baby of about eight inches, closely
followed by another falling to Harry

little fellows and went up to Point

IAN- Star Ace Stands Only 5-4H,
Has Little Weight, Stronq Arm
By Bill Fuchs

Pitchers on the Allentown Boys
Club All-Star team which meets the
Boys Club of Washington All-Stars
Friday night at Grifnth Stadium,
might make the mistake of disre-
garding Jack Malarkey as being too
small to be dangerous. For Allen
town, that could be diastrous.
Malarkey. 17-year-old outfielder
for Western High School and the
Georgetown Branch Boys Club,
stands only 5-4ia and doesn't weigh
135 pounds with a bat on his shoul-
der. An unassuming youth with
copper-colored hair, Malarkey was
good enought to make the all-star
team for two straight years. Against
Brooklyn last year at Ebbets Field
he collected two hits in three times
at bat, drove in four runs and scored
three times. He was adjudged By
Brooklyn sportswriters as the out
standing player of the game.
Malarkey missed most of the last
season at Western because of an
attack of pneumonia and Coach
Billy Richardson bemoaned his loss.
Richardson said at the time that
Malarkey not only was great hit
ter, but also boasted one of the
finest throwing arms ne had ever
seen in high school ball.
He has a terrific arm" says Joe
Branzell, Georgetown Branch coach.
He can throw from any distance
and is always accurate.
And he won't hesitate to ask
questions. Two years ago he was
throwing the ball in from center
and left field to the plate on a fly
The catchers couldn't get them and
he asked me why. I told him to
throw it past the mound so 1t would
come in on a bounce.
"Malarkey is also fast around the
bases" says Branzell. up in Brook
lyn last year every time the Brook
lyn players looked around Jack was
stealing a base"

Ten Simple Rules to Follow
To Avoid Tragedy in Water
By Morinus De Cost


"Showoffs" are q pain in the
neck anywhere, but around
beaches and swimming pools
they are a positive menace.
1t may be fun to rock the boat
or duck an unsuspecting bather.
but if your victim can't swim,
or should he strike his head on
an unseen obstruction. humor
quickly turns to tragedy. And
when these "showoffs" aren't
getting other persons into
trouble, they're getting into it
themselves. Don't be a showoff
yourself, and don't have any,
thing to do with one.
Another way to get into trouble
in the water is by doing your
racing away from shore. If
you're going to have a race, start
1t out in the water from a float
or dock and race toward shore.
That way you will be closer to
land If something goes wrong.
Courage always is magnificent,
and an attempt to rescue a
drowning person from deep water
requires courage. But still more
necessary are swimming expert
ness, physical stamina and the
special knowledge that comes
only from a sound training in
life-saving methods.
In making a rescue, never go
into the water yourself unless
you absolutely have to. Try to
use pole, rope, boat or some
other aid. If you must swim, try
to take along some means of
support such as board or an
inner tube.
If you can't swim, don't try to
save a victim in deep water. It's
hard to watch another person in
trouble without trying to help
him, but If you can't swim your
self it may mean two tragedies
instead of one.
Every one, whether he can
swim or not, should learn and
practice the principles Of artifi-
cial respiration.
In conclusion, here are the
YMCA's 10 basic rules Of water
safety:
l. Never 60 swimming alone.
2. Never 60 swimming at an
unguarded spot.
3. Never dive into strange
water.
4. Don't show of around the
water.
5. Don't attempt q rescue un-
less you are a strong swimmer.

Judging from the great numbers
of porpoises in the bay, and the
vast numbers of schools of food fish
o. all kinds, We soon should have
some sport with larger blues and
trout as we'll. 1t is little early yet
for both Another fortnight should
tell the tale, although you can ex-
pect the trout in numbers any
day. Larger blues usually make
their appearance later in August.
driving away the little fellows, and
fishing for them continues well into
September. They like good salty
water and plenty Of food. The por-
poises indicate the presence of both.
Contrary to public opinion por-
poises in the bay augur good fish
ing. They may drive away schools
of rock, blues and trout temporarily
from a given feeding ground, but
the small fish will return the min
ute the big fellows leave. And in
cidentally a school Of porpoises Is
a most interesting sight from close
range. Occasionally they play havoc
with commercial nets, but overall
they are perfectly harmless and do
not injure the fishing picture as q
whole.

CharIes-Bivins Fight
Postponed One Week
To August 9 Date

Ezzard Charles, now in leading
position among heavyweight boxing
title contenders after Freddie Mills
victory over Gus Lesnevich yester-
day in England, will fight Jimmy
Bivins here August 9 instead of next
Monday, as originally scheduled.
The new date was set yesterday
by the District Boxing Commission
after hearing that was high
lighted by charges from Leonard
Shane, Bivins' manager, that Charlie:
was trying to run out" on the
fight. For a while 1t appeared that
Charles stoo da good chance Of hav-
ing the fight Cancelled, but the day
was saved when Goldie Ahearn
rival promoter of Mrs. Florence
Turner-Variety Club group, which
Is promoting this bout, gave up his
option on the August 9 date at Grit
fifth Stadium.
The commission had a report from
a physician In Cincinnati. Charles
home town, that Charles was suffer
Ing from gland ailment that ur
to now had prevented his training
and that he couldn't get in shape
by next Monday. That was the only
date available to the Variety
Club group until Ahearn came
through with his release.
Jake Mintz, Charles manager
wasn't present yesterday, but Shane
who does business for Bivins, was
very much in evidence. The truth
of the matter is that Charles didn' t
start getting in shape for this fight
as soon as he should have" he said.
Bivins, he added, has been training
steadily and is in the best shape of
his career.
Furthermore, Shane added, Charles
is in a spot to get a much bigger
purse by fighting Lesnevich (results
of the Mills bout weren't in at that
time), and doesn't want to take a
chance against Bivins When Charles
first signed for this fight it didn't
look tough, but now that Bivins is
showing he means business, things
are different.
When Mills eliminated Lesnevich
yesterday, it made Charles position
among the heavyweight contenders
even more commanding. He could
draw purse of $4,000 or better
against another leading contender
If 1t weren't for his scheduled fight
against Bivins, which could spoil
everything. On a percentage basis,
he figures to take in around $4,000
or $4,000 against Bivins in the Va
riety Clubs charity fight.
Mintz hasn't yet commented on
the commission action in setting a
new date, but after hearing the
results of yesterdays Mills-Lesne-
vich fight he said:
Now that Mills has beaten Lesne-
vich. Charles feels that the light
heavyweight division is no longer
interesting. They can keep the
crown in England. Were going
after the heavyweight title and
Charles is willing to meet anybody
who stands in the way"

Bell Still Is Champion
OF Hursey, Repeats
His 1947 Victory

Tommy Bells heart isn't in his
work. but the Youngstown Ohio
welterweight' still is champion of
Smuggy Hursey. Bells 10th-round
technical knockout of the local
middleweight last night at Griffith
Stadium, along with his decision
over Hursey last September, shows
that Smuggy is out of his league
against boys who can punch and
move around.
Smuggy is game, but he's not fast
enough to cope with the fancy
fighters. Bell got to Smuggy early,
piling up a good point margin in
the first three rounds that was able
to Withstand Hursey's rush during
the middle heats. Finally series
of blows and pushes in the 10th put
Hursey down for nine-count. He
arose rubber-legged, and Referee
Eddie La Fond stopped the fight to
save him more punishment.
At that it was closer than the
September fight. DR.. Joe Trigg.
judge, had Hursey ahead by a few
pOIIltS dG lllc Cllu VI IIlS I1lIlJI1, Wl1le
the other judge, Bob Kilmartin, and
Referee La Fond had Bell in front.
1t was a slow fight in spots, with
Bell fighting only in flurries and
Hursey unable to do much except
shuttle around hunting his elusive
opponent. Bell admitted afterward
that because of personal troubles he
wasn't much interested in fighting
last night and had trained only
three days.
Bell weighed 1887 and Hursey
155. A crowd of 1921 paid a gross
gate of $10,660 and a net of $7,787.
The prelims' were much better
than the main event. Looking par
ticularly impressive was Bobby Nc
Quillar, Detroit lightweight, who
made his first showing here a good
one by knocking out Charley Ben
nett in the third. Other fights
went the route. Puggy Lyons de-
