ASSERTS SERIES WITH A PROVED CLASS OF CHAMPS ! Bucky Contends Showing of Griffmen This Season Refutes Theory That They Were Lucky to At- tain Double Honors Last Year. > BY STANLEY HARRIS, Manager and Second Buseman OSTON, E Well, here it is the morning o in front in the American League by ‘World Champion Washington Club. July 4—There's a saving in base ball that the clubs leading the big leagues on the Fourth of July are the pennant winners. f the Fourth and Washington is out a full two-game margin. And I am confident that we will repeat our performance of last year and again win a championship The Washington club showed its characteristic ability to come through in the pinch were able to fight * a hali-game lead by to this lead, Friday's victory over th losing to the Yankees vielding us a ful All championship clubs have been marked for their ability to deliver the goods when the demand was made. ! That was exactly what we did when we faced the Philadelphia club in five games. We had to win four to wrest the lead from a fast-moving, confident, aggressive bunch of young- | sters. And we did just that little stunt. T guess eral, steady } convinced our way from a t that series nd our gen- play of the season have skeptices that Washington has a truly great and a real cham pionship ball club. There were those who sald we were lucky to have won a pennant and a world series last vear. They ought to know otherwise now. Shrewd base ball judges are : beginning to concede that Washing- ton has one of the most effective com binations in the history of the sport ationals Well Balanced. Now that we are out in front in the race for the pennant we intend to stay there. We have a clb that, barring the unexpected, will continue o play steady, victory ball. We have a Strong great defense and a wonderful pitch. {ing staff. It is the best balanced in | the league and quite likely the most effective in either major organization The Washington pitchers showed their stuff against the Athletic Here they received a test dimicult enough for any pitching staff. The Philadelphia club had been running wild in the league: their sluggers were having a field day with pitcher they faced. The didn’t believe they - could showed Johnson, But our firing them they were Coveleskie and Ruether stopped the league terrors.

Against us they averaged 1.6 run per game. True Championship Form. There, 1 believe, is the answer to the wonderful pitching of the world champions. Surely that is showing | true championship form. You can't go much behind the figures in look- ing for an effective twirling staff. Lamar and Galloway were the only Philadelphia sluggers who batted over .300 against us. Lamar had an aver- age of .368 and Galloway hit for .333. The best Simmons could do was get a batting average of .117. Hale and Welch also fared badly. The former batted for .143 in the five games. Welch was 10 points below this. Dykes batted .263, Poole .235 and Cochrane .200. After such a performance do you wonder that the Washington club is confident of winning another pennant and bringing another world series to the Capital? The pitching staff is| working smoethly. We have four great twirlers to rotate in Johnson. | Coveleskie, Ruether and Zachary. We can back these up with capable re- erve pitchers. In Marberry Wash- ington has perhaps the greatest relief pitcher in the history of the game. “0ld Men” Prominent Factor. Washington was criticized in some quarters for getting “old men” when tain deals were made. I am sure the base ball public now will agree that the veterans in question are the | ones who have been largely instru- | mental in helping the club get to the | topof the pile. | Well, that is where we are perched this Fourth of July mormng as I write this. And we're golng to make the records of practically every other vear run true to form again by being the July 4 leader and the pennant winner as well. STREAM BY PERRY MILLER: CCORDING to Dr. P. M.

T. V. Walker of 1601 Hobart street, written by J. W. Jones, a local . angler and conservationist, throws considerable light on the mutie where sa a in Conservation Essential. i “I am submitting a statement re- ,garding a subject in which many of Your readers are interested and the ‘ subject deserves agitation “We read and hear of conserv regards natural resources, and ! conservation appeals to all not co mercially intercsted in the resource to be conserved. Those interested commerclally seem to think that to- ‘day is the only time to be considered, and devote their entire time to de- +veloping means whereby they ma !bring under their control for com- mercial purposes the entire remain- ‘ing portion of the particular object to which their voecation may be de- | voted “We have heard of the extinction various useful birds and animals; we hear rumors of the end of our forests; we are told that the supply :of petroleum will soon be exhausted; +and we have very recently read much about the ruthless destruction of va- rious kinds of game by over 4,000,000 licensed butchers who claim to be sportsmen “There is another feature that is being agitated to some extent at this time, but its importance does not ap- pear to be appreciated. Reference is made to the various salt water re- sources. The oyster is actually re- eeiving more or less attention. The crab is receiving attention from some $tates and being neglected by others tion Due to Neglect. The salt water fish Byt all in many respects, and the re sult is proving disastrous. A few Mears since any one in a rowhoat was reasonably sure of a bountiful catch of such fish. Even the many nets then ini use did not appear to reduce the Kiipply. Then came the motor boat and the facilities for reaching good fishing grounds and utllizing various devices | were increased. The automobile made it possible and easy for people to go as far as 100 miles or more for u week end or day's fishing. These amateur fishermen catch more or less fish of &ll kinds and sizes. Fish too small for ropsumption are thrown into the boat and allowed to die. The only use to \which they are ever put is that of making the catch look larger in a iotograph. The only fish returned to “Tie water are the toads, but they are Hedng kept now to be used as bait for trabs. ! "Formerly there was no market for undersize fish and they were thrown hack by the commercial fishermen. Recent immigration has included people who will utilize fish of ar size and the dealers soon found it out. Today, if yuu will visit the fish Topuses at the wiarf and on Louisiana avenue,or the Aands in Centér Market, ¥6u will find scores of barrels contain. jirie thousayds of salt water trout and | other fish {0t more than 6 inches in length. The salt water trout is becom- ing scarck. If given opportunity, it nttains a good size. The little trout previous)y mentioned, are very un.| satisfacjory eating. The bones are many £nd prominent. It is Goubtful WhetbAr four of them will weigh a pound. Think of killing a fish weigh- | ing one-fourth of a pound when the ;atne fish, it left alone, will weigh from 5 to 10 pounds and occasionally 1ore! are neglected Law Not Observed. “Why should the Government and various States undertake to inerease of the Potomac River is highly polluted. on a report received by him from the health | size of fish to be retained? | while “health officer of Arlington His chester, ples of water taken from the river ¢ tested. , advise all persons to refrain from otomac River eries, when firsehmen are allowed to trap and marketmen to sell salt-water | trout and other fish of the size men tioned? “Th hearsay. statement is not based upon You need not take it sec- ond-nand. Go to the market or the other places and see for vourself | thousands of salt-water fish, which, if you are a fisherman, are not larger thar a millreach, you would be glad to use for bass bait “The States of Maryland and Vir- ginia claim to be concerned about the conservation of salt-water re sources. What are they doing to achieve results? Maryland has taken steps to protect the crab and to in- crease the oyster supply, and had to some extent undertaken to control the use of nets and seines of various kinds. Virginia has made a great | amount of noise, but has done practi- cally nothing that will result in some real conservation. “Why cannot both States limit the Why can- not the size of fish to be shipped or sold be limited? This would result in thousands of fish being returned to the water and the fishermen would in a few years be catching fish worth instead of complaining about | the scarcity of good fish, as they are today “The commercial fishermen will probably undertake to thwart any legislation along the lines proposed. It is, therefore, necessary that real conservationists get together and use their influence to the end that proper legislation may be emacted to limit the size of fish to be taken and mar- keted. D. C. Vitally Concerned. “The District of Columbia is not di- rectly concerned, but is vitally con- cerned indirectly. Every week end sees thousands leaving the District for fishing resorts on salt water in Virginia and Maryland. Of late their catches have been very much reduced compared with three or four years ago. “ A few years ago a split shad sold here for 25 cents. Today one sells for cents per pound, or over $1 for an average size fish. This is caused by the falling off of the supply. “A few years since salt-water trout sold for 6 to § cents per pound, some- times less. Today the same fish sells for 25 cents or more per pound. “The arguments used apply to vari- ous other fish, but salt-water trout is at this time a very good available sample. The District of Columbia, al- though not a producer, is a very large consumer, and if it desires to con- tinue to have a supply of good fish, it is up to the people of the District to secure legislation regulating the size of the fish that may be sold or pos- sessed i This is a very interesting presenta- | tion of some of the reasons why the fishermen are complaining today that they are unable to catch fish both at salt and fresh fishing grounds. It was pointed out in this column some time ago that thousands of undersize bass were being shipped in to the local market and could be purchased at al- most any of the fish stands in the city. There is a law governing the catch and sale of undersize game fish. The question now is, Why is this law not enforced? In his letter Mr. Jones has omitted one of the most important and damag- ing conditions to fish life, namely, pol- lution. Fish will rush into poliuted water, but will not remain, for if they do it will in all probability cu!t them | their lives. The Potomac is in good condition for anglers, but no fish are being caught except catfish and an occa- sional rockfish. | heats in | color in the dedication classic at the | Costello, SINGLE G WINS PACE 'BY STIRRING FINISHES By the Associated Pross. CLEVELAND, July 4.—Making two of his famous whirlwind finishes, after having finished fifth in the first heat, where he lost a tire, the 15-year-old Single G, world’s greatest pacer; defeated the fastest field of side- wheelers on North Randall in the free-for-all pace, one of today's fea- tures of the Grand Circuit card. The Shaw, for 2:06 trotters, the other headliner, went to Favonian, which raced back to his victory of Monday, in which he broke the world trotting record for a mile and a quarter. The time for the mile heats in these two events were the fastest of the yvear. When Lily the Great took the second heat of the 2:10 pace she set a pacing record of 2:18 4.5. Single G. racing in fourth position, was knocked out of contention in the first heat when Sparkle tried to pass him at the stretch turn. In the col- lision a tire was torn off Single G's sulky. The heat went to Margaret Dillon in 2:02 15 He had little trouble going to the ront when his driver, Ed Allen, was readw in the next two heats, coming from fourth position on both occasions in the stretch and pacing the last| quarter in 29 4-5 seconds. The time | for the second heat was 2:00 4.5, the | last half being paced in 5935 and the third in 2:022.5. Single G has lost only three races at this track | since his first start here in 1915. When beaten two vears ago he had been drugged.
