recommended this legislation on many occasions during the
past five years. In a letter to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives, dated February %, 1949, the Honorable,
Oscar L. Chapman, Secretary of the Interior, stated: y
"The creation of the proposed resident commission

Virgin Islands to make known directly to the Con-

would also be a concrete demonstration of this Ma

Hon. Richard J. Wech, Chairman, Committee on the Public

Potomac waters, but none we can
authenticate.
In the meantime, warmer
weather draws closer and it is
only a couple of fortnights before
the opening of the trout season
In Maryland. White perch are in
the lower river, awaiting favor
able weather and water condi-
tions to begin their spawning run.
In fact they may even now be
in the deep channel nearby. But
if they are, they're not taking
bait.
Maryland's trout-stocking pro-
gram soon will be under way, and
a Statewide inventory of surface
waters in small streams Is being
made with a view to spreading
out the program eventually. Prob
ably there will be no expansion
this year, except the reinstate-
ment of three streams in Carroll
County. Rock Greek will receive
a fair stocking for the "put-and-
takers" and in our opinion some
nice carry-over brown trout will
be captured later in the summer.
Perhaps some will show up as the
result of spring stocking, which
increases the pressure on natural
food supplies.
Along this line, we we'll re-
member the day, when with the
late Paul Townsend, we fished
what is now called Otter Valley
Run. but which we always think
of as Little Owens Creek. After
Townsend had acquired fishing
rights on portion of this stream,
we helped stock it with large
number of brooks, browns and
some rainbows. On opening day,
we started at the top of the
property to fish down with stream
ers, heavy rainfall having rolled
the water somewhat. To our as
tonishment We caught nothing
but native brook trout, no stocked
fish at all.
Townsend had suspected there
were some native fish in the
stream, but not in the num-
bers we were catching them. We

May Is Earliest Date
Available for Bratton
To Battle GaviIan
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 16.-Earliest
possible date for the proposed
Madison Square Garden bout be-
tween Johnny Bratton Of Chicago,
the National Boxing Association
new WleterWeight champion, and
Cuba's Kid Gavilan is May 18,
according to Harry Markson,
managing director of the Inter-
national Boxing Club.
May was the date originally
picked for Bratton to make the
first defense of his title, but the
circus will be at the Garden then
and the first fight date available
is May II. Ike Williams has that
date set aside for a lightweight
title defense.
Bratton won NBA recognition
as successor TO Sugar Ray Robin
son. now the middleweight cham
pion, by outpointing Charlie
Fusari in a Chicago thriller Wed
nesday night. The NBA specified
that the winner there meet CAV
ilan, with the winner of that bout
then meeting England's Eddie
Thomas.
Not Recognized by New York.
The Bratton- -Gavilan fight in
New York. If it is put on, will not
be recognized by New York as a
title fight. Instead it will be con-
sidered another in a series Of
elimination fights in which Billy
Graham, a top-ranked contender,
must be included.
To add to the confusion, Sugar
Ray declares he stiu is boss among
the 147-pounders. He said he did
not surrender the welter crown
when he won the middleweight
title from Jake LaMotta in Chi
cago a month ago and that he
plans to defend it. The NBA and
the New York Athletic Commits
sion ruled that a fighter cannot
hold two titles at the same time
and declared the 147-pound title
vacant.
Another angle in connection
with the proposed Bratton- Cav
ilan fight is that Lyman Wall
man, Bratton's manager, is more
interested in a return battle with
Fusari. Wed like to box Fusari
again before the Gavilan bout, "
he said yesterday in Chicago.
Wed like the return bout for
Chicago. too."
Bout Depends on Condition.
Markson said that the May Is
date for Bratton and Gavilan
depends on Bratton's condition.
"We heard he hurt his right
hand. If he's all right and able
to go then, we'll try and make it.
Both Bratton and Fusari pock-
eted $10,047.18 for their thrilling
Chicago battle. Each received
$8.547.12 as their 271a per cent
of the net gate, plus $500 from
television receipts.
Fusari, who suffered a cash
near his left eye. returned home
from Chicago by plane yesterday
His eye was swollen nearly shut
and his left ear was bandaged.

dropped a 10-to-3 decision to

With Bill Leetch

found out later that it had re-
ceived a yearly stocking about
which few knew, and these were
trout that had grown up in the
stream. The heavy pressure put
on the food supply by the stocked
fish caused the natives to scram-
BILE for their livelihood, and being
faster and stronger than the
stocked fish, they got to our lures
first. 1t was an Illuminating ex-
perience.
Unquestionably there are other
streams in nearby Maryland which
will support brown trout. and
which could be built up to ac-
commodate great numbers of an
glers. relieving the pressure on
heavily-fished streams. However,
it costs lot of money to raise
trout, and until State authorities
are able to obtain a greatly aug
mented supply for stocking pur-
poses, they cannot be utilized ex-
cept at the expense of presently
stocked streams. Federal aid may
be the solution. We hope so. for
present crowded conditions dur
ing the opening days of trout
season in Maryland are anything
but conducive to relaxation.
The same applies to our neigh
boring States of Virginia and
West Virginia, possibly to a little
less degree. Virgiriia's initial stock
ing was f1shed out last year in less
than week, and West Virginia's
not far behind. One partial solu-
ton might lie in a smaller initial
stocking, which being caught out
even more quickly would dis
courage a lot of trout anglers
from trying it soon again. How
ever, not only does it cost a lot
of money to raise and feed trout,
but also to hold them for longer
periods and stock them at more
frequent intervals. Our bet is that
this year the same old rigamarole
will apply.
