Given favorable weather, salt
water fishing in Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries this week end
should be good. There are size
able trout to be caught in the
Point Lookout area, plenty of
pan-sized rock almost every
where in shallow water and
bluefish scattered all over the
upper bay from the Southwest
Middles to Bloody Point. An
glers are learning that it hard
ly pays to venture out in the
heat of day. Early morning and
late afternoon on into darkness
are best.
Fresh water fishing, in spite
of very low water, has been
good in both the Shenandoah
and Potomac Rivers. The low
water makes wading an easy and
productive method of fishing.
The water is warm, but the bass
are scrappy. However. a bit OF
cool weather would improve the
comfort of both fish and anglers.
Many anglers forget that
Maryland's trout season contin-
ues to September Is, but its
streams are so low it is hardly
worth while fishing them. There
are still some trout in both Big
Hunting and Fishing Creeks,

E|dridge Thompson
May Use Preliminary
As Step 10 N Bout

Eldridge (Tommy) Thompson
the former Marine light-heavy-
weight from Quantico who has
won IA of his Is pro fights. has a
chance to earn big break when
he shows on tomorrow's nights
boxing program at Turner's
Arena.
Thompson will meet Calvin
Price of Washington in a six
round semifinal to the 10-round
featherweight feature involving
Gene Smith against Bill BosSio
A good showing might be the
means of earning Thompson a
fight on television.
Ray Arcel, director of the Sat-
urday night television fights,
will be on hand looking for new
talent, and Thompson is one of
the fighters he will watch par
ticularly.
Won Amateur Crown.
Tommy had a fine record as
an amateur, winning the Ma
tional AAU championship in 1851
plus various other titles, and he
is being primed to reach similar
heights among the professionals.
Tommy lost his National
championship in 1852 to Floyd
Patterson on a close decision
and would like nothing better
than another bout with Patter-
son. who won the Olympic title
at Helsinki and one of the bet
ter fighters in the 175-pound
division.
The main event will be tele-
vised over the ABC network, but
will be blacked out in Washing
ton. Because of the TV show
it will start promptly at g
o'clock. an hour earlier than
usual for main events here. It
will be preceded by four-round
preliminary. and the rest of the
program will follow. Starting
time for the first bout is
$40 pm.
Spars With Cooper.
Bossio, from Pittsburgh, had a
public workout yesterday at
Turner's Arena. He spared two
rounds against Jimmy Cooper,
the Washington boxer who
traded knockouts with Smith re-
Gently and who will be on hand
to challenge the winner of to-
morrow nights main event.
Smith still is working in New
York under the direction OF
Whitley Bimstein and will not
return to Washington until to-
morrow.
The four-round bouts arranged
by Promoter Vince Mcmahon
are:
Flako Langford against Kid
Crockett, heavyweights; Les
Bradley against Randy Brevard,
light heavyweights; Dynamite
Williams against Hank Jones,

Heurichs Nine Romps
To City Series Win
Without Ace Hitter

Any doubt about how we'll the
Heurich Brewers would perform
in the City Series without their
leading batter, Jim Francis, in
the lineup should be dispelled by
now.
Francis, who batted near 400
during the Industrial League sea-
son and who received the out
standing player award when
Heurichs won this tournament a
year ago. is out of the series
with broken ankle. His alb
sence wasn't noticed yesterday
as the Brewers, in their series
debut, bounced 19 hits off three
pitchers to defeat Military Air
Transport Service, 1910.
But this performance didn't
discourage Harold Scolpini,
MATS manager, They're a good
hitting club" he said, "but not
that good. If Siedell pitcher
Dick SiedelD hadn't been sick
we'd have beaten them easy.
Don't take the victory away
from them, though, they earned
it, but don't think they'll win
the series. I think AtchiSon &
Keller will. I know FBI could
beat the Brewers if it was in the
tournament"
Burdge Hits HOmers.
Pete Burdge of the MATS
stole the individual hitting hon
ors in yesterdays game on the
South Ellipse by slamming three
homerS and batting in seven of
his teams runs. Bob Horan got
two round-trippers and John
Harvell and Bill Jeffries hit one
each for Heurich.
Brother Love started on the
mound for the Brewers and gave
up four runs in the first inning
and four more before he retired
in the eighth with his team
leading 1873 Siedell. who had
stomach cramps, shifted to
shortstop in the fourth and was
relieved by Pete Palmer, but
came back later when Palmer
couldn't hold the Brewers and
was relieved again in the seventh
inning by Eddie Adams.
The series game on the West
Ellipse resulted in 5-3 victory
for the Washington Royals over
the Lincoln AC
Royals Bunch Hits.
Arthur Kay of the Royals
spaced nine hits while his team
mates got only seven off Art Van
Brackle and Lloyd Turner. But
six of the Royals hits were
punched into the first and fourth
innings when they produced all
their scoring.
Jim Henderson singled in Jim
McKeamer and Bill Mayor with
the Royals first two scores. The
three-run fourth inning resulted
from two singles. an error and
Johnny Fosters single.
Yesterdays two games con-
cluded the first round of the
City Series. The second round
of the double elimination tour
nament begins Tuesday with
Atchison and Keller playing
Snug Harbor on the South Ell
lipse and the Washington Black

A new racing rule for big boats
competing on the upper Chesa-
peake will be tried out this week
end for the first time when
Gibson Island Yacht Squadron
stages its 95-mile Cedar Point
overnight race. The rule is the
outgrowth of a recent meeting
of upper bay clubs and CONNER
cial shipping interests concerned
with yachts racing in shipping
channels.
The Gibson Island circular
states that when any yacht ap-
proaches a large merchant ves-
sci or tow underway between the
entrance to the dredged chan
mel at Baltimore light and ap-
proach buoys 3 and 4 south Of
the bay bridge in such a man
ner as to involve risk of COLI
sion, the yacht cannot assert its
usual right of way as sailing
vessel. Any yacht so doing shall
be subject to protest.
Yachts will be permitted to
sail through any of the three
central spans of the bridge.
Nothing is mentioned in the
circular, but it wouldn't surprise
certain Informed race officials if
the Coast Guard was standing
watch tomorrow night off Cedar
Point buoy. the lower turning
mark, to see that no yacht is
racing without port and star
board running lights. Some rae
ing shippers have a habit of
turning off lights so that their
competitors can't spot them.
