Maryland Racing
Revenues Drop

Maryland horse racing rev.
enues dropped off to 1921, 1867
for the fiscal year ended June
80 as compared with $9,648, 483
during the same period which
ended June 30, 1859.
The decline, according to
State Comptroller Louis l..
Goldstein, stemmed from cur
tailed and irregular racing
schedules. There were only 115
days of mile track racing dur
ing the 1959-60 fiscal year as
compared with 1913 days in the
previous IL months, Goldstein
explained.
Also, only four of the five
half-mile tracks held meets and
one of the four trotting and
pacing meets scheduled during
the year was not concluded
until July 2. This meant that
the revenue from the trotters
was credited to the 1960-61 fis-
cal year.
OF the total revenue received,
$2,615,412 was allocated to coun-
ties and incorporated cities and
towns throughout the State.

Brenda was a lady. BY noon,
Friday, it was obvious she was
going to come a-calling.
The glass had begun to fall
early Friday morning and was
steadily continuing its nose
dive. The wind was shifting to
the southeast and the skies
were already taking on the
dirty grey hue that always
spells trouble for the water
men.
At 6 pm. when your party
arrived the wind had increased
20 to Is knots, still southern.
There was no argument when
you advised your people it
would be foolish to try going
out this evening, and although
disappointed, they we're wise
enough to pass this trip and
head for home, content to try
again another day.
BY now Brenda was reported
off the Carolina coast and gale
warnings were up from Hat
teras to Cape May, N. j. In
preparing to meet this gal you
lashed the boat down under ex-
ira lines allowing plenty of
slack for the abnormally high
tides that were sure to come.

fly matches out in numbers al
most beyond belief, and the fish
feed ravenously upon them.
They are referred to as White
Millers.
They are a specie of May fly.
Most of the May flys life is
spent under water in the form
of nymph. The White Miller
nymph reaches maturity in late
July of each season; the nymph
rises to the surface, and the
back of the case splits open. The
adult fly drifts along, drying
its wings, then rises into the
air for a brief mating flight
then death.
The female, after mating in
flight, drops her eggs in the
river water, then both she and
the male fall to the surface and
die. The eggs, being sticky, set
tie to the bottom and cling.
Later these eggs hatch, small
nymph is created and crawls to
the bottom feeding and grow
ing, until the whole cycle can
be repeated.
First Little Rings
The flies emerge just after
shutdown, and before it gets
dark. AS the nymph cases are
drifting along, the bass take
a feeding position and suck the
cased flies into their mouth. At
this time only very small ring
can be detected and an mex
perienced angler would never
suspect it was made by a heavy
bass.
Later, after the flies have
dropped to the surface the bass,
and catfish, feed with more

Thompson's Wins
Two Games, Goes
Into PIayoffs

Thompson's Restaurant
won two games. last week to
go into the second round of
the Montgomery County
Adult Softball League play
offs which started last Mon
day.
Thompson's won a third place
playoff, 10-5, from Rockville
Chamber of Commerce before
a crowd of 300 in the final Open
League game of the season,
then defeated Company League
runnerup, Emerson Research,
6-1, to go into the second play
off round. The two victories
ran Thompson's streak to seven
games.
Charcoal Grill, Open runners
up, was paired with Company
League champ, Johns Hopkins,
and Thompson's was scheduled
to face Open League winner,
5000 Grill, on Monday. Winners
of these games were scheduled
to face each other in the first
game of best of three playoff
beginning yesterday. All games
are played at Meadowbrook
(Rock Creek Recreation Cen
ter.
Russ Glover was the winning
pitcher in both of Thompson's
games last week.
Rockville Scores First
Rockville scored four runs in
the second inning to take an
early lead in the Open League
third place playoff game.
Thompson's scored two runs on
three hits and Chamber of Com.
merce added another to make
the scare SO going into the
fourth.
Thompson's manager, John
Workman tripled in one run
and scored on an infield out
against Rockville starter Leroy
Burroughs in the fourth to
make the score Sd in favor OF
Rockville.
In the fifth, Thompson's
scored five runs to break the
game open on five hits includ.
ing Eddie Wratten's double to
end the scoring. Glover allowed
nine hits, five runs and walked
two. Burroughs and reliever
Bumgardner allowed Is hits, 10
runs and two walks.
Emerson led Thompson's 10
for the first four innings before
the restaurant men picked up
three runs on two hits. A wild
throw over the catcher's head
attempting to cut off a run
with two out let the gates open.
Thompson's then picked up a
single run in the fifth and two
more in the sixth to win 81.
Glover Wins Second
Glover was again the winner
allowing one run on four hits
and two walks. Dave Ramsey
was the loser. He allowed
eight hits.
Thompson's, the defending
champs of the Open League
from last season, were in a do.

seven games, five in the regular
season. A loss anywhere along
the way would have eliminated
Thompson's from the champion
ship play between the two
leagues. However, Thompson's
scored &c runs in the last five
games, setting a league record
by beating Colorado Caterers,
25-3, on the way to a playoff

noise and are easily located.
How to Fish
Unquestionably the finest and
mos, effective manner of catch
ing these bass is with a fly rod
but not necessarily the only
method. Cast the popping bug
(color means nothing), or bet
ter still, a CREASED Mudder Min
now, to the exact spot imme-
diately after the fish rose.
You'll be rewarded with a strike
nearly every time.
Small casting plugs or spin
ming lures, of the surface type,
can be used to take almost as
many fish. Good plugs are the
Phillips Crippled Killer, the
DEVILS Horse, Midge-Oreno-
small plunkers and darkers too.
Underwater lures are worth
less.
Since the flies hatch from
sandbars, this is the best place
to fish for them.
Just upstream from the pub
lie landing at Edwards Ferry
is an excellent spot, also in the
area of Sycamore Landing.
Nearly any sandbar in the
SWANS Lock section, and in the
shadows below Pennafield you
can expect heavy matches.
If you miss out on the
matches this year, remember
them for next season. Within
the next few days the mature
flies will cease Matching until
next July. Try it, and you'll
find it a fishing experience
you'll long remember.
