The horse was third choice at 10

Jackey Tim Molony, who will

when I let him have his head
in the straight away, he went
along easily and jumped better
than I have ever known any horse

While this may seem a very low
figure, it also approximates the
national average. Over the State
as a whole, 10 per cent of the
anglers caught IS per cent of the
fish However, most of these were
fishing for crappie, which are
abundant throughout the States.
The creelS at major reservoirs
such as Triadelphia contained
nearly so per cent crappies.
Another interesting TACT is that
Eastern Shore fishermen spend
little time angling in their own
back yard. Although the Eastern
Shore has some of the best fish,
ing water in the State. most peo-
pie who fish there are out-of-
staters, chiefly from Pennsylvania.
Apparently Eastern Shoremen fish
primarily in salt water.
Harold j. Elser, biologist for the
Maryland Department of Research
and Education who heads this
census effort, says it will continue
through 1851 in conjunction with
research work in the field. The
information obtained will aid in
planning fish propagation, he
added.
West Virginia's Conservation
Commissions 1951-52 regulations
prohibit all stream fishing, ex-
cept in year round open waters,

This regulation was adopted IN

Ter up, fell over him.

Son Of Count Fleet
Slaves Off RepeIuz in
San Juan Capistrano
BY the Associated Press

ARCADIA, Calf, March 10
Veteran Jockey Johnny Longden
and a, four-year-old colt named
Be Fleet wrote a colorful chapter
of the turf today when they led
all the way to win the long $780,
900 San Juan Capistrano Handi-
cap at Santa Anita.
Ringing down the curtain on
the 18th annual winter melting
before $4,000 fans. the 41-year-
old Longden brought Be Fleet
under the wire by a length and a
half in front of the favored Argen-
tine horse Repeluz, while Mocopo
ran third in the field of 10 horses.
Eight years ago, Longden won
his only victory in the Kentucky
Derby. His mount was the speed
terror of 1943, Count Fleet. And
Be Fleet, Johnny's mount today. is
a bay son of the famous Count.
First Important Victory.
The gruelling mile -and-three-
quarter run, usual windup race of
the Santa Anita season. was
clicked in 2::56. The winner, well
liked by the big crowd paid $3.50.
$3.50 and So. Repeluz returned
$4.10 and $2.70, and Mocopo, $3.50.
Be Fleet is owned by Andrew
J. Crevolin, automobile dealer of
nearby Alhambra, who bought him
for about $16,500 at a Keeneland
auction in 1913. 1t was Be Fleets
first important triumph, and the
first time he ever tried to travel
such distance of ground.
The race was a far cry from
last years San Juan, when Moor
beat out Citation in a head-to-
head battle in world record time
of 2:5245.
Be Fleet broke on top and stayed
there. En- route. he shook off the
persistent threat of the Austria
liam, Bernbrook, Ohsodry and Su-
dan, the latter the stablemate of
Clifford Mooers' Mocopo.
RepeluZ Makes Bid.
The long striding Repeluz, rid
den by. Eddie Arcaro, began his
move from midway in the field far
down the backstretch on the Sec
ond go-round. Gradually he
pulled within shooting distance
of the flying Be Fleet.
At the turn into the stretch,
Repeluz was gaining on the leader.
Longden cooked his head around,
saw the Argentine horse coming
up. and promptly sent the son
of The Count into the winning
drive.
The victory was the second big
stake in row for Longden. He
turned in much the same type of
ride week ago when he ushered
Moonrush in to capture the $780,
900 Santa Anita Handicap.
The remainder of the mediocre
field-Akimbo, Top Production,
Vino Elmo and Gatita II were
never factors. Be Fleet carried
ia pounds, Repeluz top weight of
116.

Meat Packers Union
Demands Wage Raise
BY The Assoeiatsd Press

CHICAGO, Feb. 8.-CIO United
Packinghouse Workers held q
brief rally In the packinghouse
district yesterday to demand wage
increases. Some 5000 workers
adopted a resolution which called
for mo wage increase, no work."
They also asked that union off,
cials called to a meeting Sunday

ton"
TheNmeeting was called by UPW
President Ralph Helstein. He
asked representatives of $50 To-
Gals to meet them to consider a
future course Of action"
The unions contracts with most
meat packing companies become
open on the wage issue Sunday.
The contracts run to August II,
1852.
The union said last week that
two large packing firms-Swift
and Armour-had broken off ne
gotiations for a wage increase.
Company spokesmen countered
that they merely had recessed ne
gotiations because of the wage
freeze. They said the wage talks
would be reopened when the Wage
Sterilization Board gave the go
ahead. &
Mr.. Helstein told the rally that
"The packing house workers are
not going to get caught in the
middle of the wage freeze" He
said high prices and rising taxes
have left the workers with moth
