Bridge area and below on shadgut
bait and quite few spring mullets
are to be caught in the mouths OF
small streams flowing into the Poto-
mac on both the Maryland and
Virginia shores. Small worms fished
on the bottom with small hooks are
the bats for these fish. Contrary
to reports we have heard, there are
no herring in the Potomac as yet
Undoubtedly the gizzard shad
locally called mud shad or winter
shad, are the fish that have been
snagged lately. It will be several
weeks, probably before the herring
and perch make their appearance.
While Maryland has opened the

any species until the regular open

Heft' S Dead Baseball Arm Gave
Basket Ball a Good Official
Ex-HurIer in Demand
As Cage Referee
By MerreII WhittIesey

Arnold Heft, who was afraid it
was farewell to sports when his
pitching arm went dead back in
1912 while he was with the Scranton
Red Sox, now regards the incident
as extremely profitable.
In all probability, Heft, a former
Central High School athlete, admits
he still would be bouncing around
in the minors, after playing with
Baltimore, Thomasville, Portsmouth.
Owensboro, KY, and Scranton fol-
lowing his freshman year at Wash
ington and Lee in 1888.
But now he's big Lacquer in an
other profession. In North Carolina
they regard the curly haired WASH
ingtonian as the best basket ball
referee in the Southern Conference.
In fact, the players are getting a
bit jealous. In the conference tour
nament the last two years, more
words have been written on Heft
than on the star courtmen.
Better without Showmanship.
Heft, who operates butcher shop
on Georgia avenue, is not a Pat
Kennedy. AS matter Of fact, he
has lost the showmanship that he
displayed last year and the coaches
say it was for the better.
Early in March of 1947, Arnold
was asked to handle The Stars
Metropolitan tournament and he
was f1attered by the bid. But the
next day call came from Raleigh,
offering him one Of the three offici-
ating roles in the Southern Confer
ence tournament. He was granted
a release from The Star tourney
and he showed up in Durham as a
freshman official unknown to all but
few coaches who had seen him
work and liked his authoritative
manner.
In the first game he called, they
liked him. At the end of the second
he was getting more applause than
the high scorers. He was a unani-
nous choice as head man in the
title game, although 1t was his first
tournament.
This year his Southern Confer
ence regular season schedule was
TANNED. He had all the Mason
Dixie games he could carry, worked
out of Asa Bushnels Eastern Inter-
collegiate Office and in spare time
worked the high schools, averaging
better than six games week in all.
Two weeks ago, when North
Carolina met North Carolina State
in a renewal of their bitter rivalry,
Heft was called to Chapel Hill for
the assignment. 1t was a foregone
conclusion that he would repeat in
the conference tournament.
When Heft calls foul, the players
and fans alike know who it's on,
what it's for, and his manner is such

ingram Drafts Plan
For Financing Colts;
Rodenberg Is Out
ey the Asseeiaied Press

BALTIMORE. Mar. 9.-Admiral
Jonas H. Ingram, commissioner of
the au-American professional foot
ball conference. has a proposition
in writing" to present to a commit
tee Of Baltimore businessmen meet
ing today to discuss plans for rais-
ing enough money to keep league
franchise here.
The Baltimore Colts drew zoo, 900
customers here last year, their first
IN the conference, but wound up
$4,000 in the red.
The conference took over the fran
chise held by Bob Rodenberg of
Washington and his associates when
Rodenberg could not guarantee
there would be enough money in
the bank next year to ensure opera
ton.
Rodenberg's chief hackers in
Washington withdrew their support
after the balance sheet for the first
season was presented.
Rumblings that all was not well
in Baltimore so far as the Colts
were concerned were heard for the
first time late last week.
On Saturday it was disclosed that
Admiral Ingram had been in town
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro called
together a group of local business
men, headed by Charles P. McCor-
mick, head of large spice and
coffee firm, in an effort to keep the
Colts here.
They met yesterday and Admiral
Ingram sat in on the conference.
He told them that 100000 would
be needed for a long-range financial
plan, but that s250,000 would keep
the franchise in Baltimore.
He said a new group in charge of
Colt fortunes would start out from
scratch and would not have to
liquidate any outstanding indebted
ness.
He assured those attending the
meeting that If Baltimore interests
raised the money, they would be
placed in full control of the club.
Bob Rodenberg was not at the
meeting, although he still is prin-
cipal stockholder.
Baltimore is a great sports town"
Ingram said. "Its enthusiasm for
the Colts beats anything I ever saw
in college, but new capital is needed
If the Colts are to stay here.
1.-The Colts are two or three times
stronger than last season when
they ended in the CELLAR, and II
personally will guarantee the trans
fer of a name player or two to bol-
ster the Colts on the field"

"Now here's something prac-

"Notice the depth of the saucer.
1t was polite to drink out of it

down in the saucer, like this, and
the handle prevented the rim

a row of James Clews' plates on
