NEW YORK, February 1.—The request of centrgl European soccer organizations to the international federation for the expulsion of the United States threatens to lead to the formation of a new international soc- cer federation. Officlals of the sport | here have suggested that Canada, England, Scotland and the United States band together. The central European organizations have protested to international federa- tion that the United States, through the American Soccer League, has been signing European soccer stars already under contract in their native coun- tries. The request for expulsion will be thrashed out at the next meeting of the federation in Helsingfors, Fin- land, in June. England, Scotland and Canada are not members of the present inter- national organization. The chief vari- ance of these countries and the parent body is over the amateur rule of the federation, which permits the playing of amateurs who leave their work to play away from home.

BY PERRY MILLER: The bill introduced by Senator Hawes of Maine to prohibit the sale of large and small mouth bass in the District of Columbia was fayorably reported out by the District com- mittee last week. The same bill, in- troduced in the House by Repregenta- tive Manlove struck a snag in the House District committee, Represen- tative Blanton and others objecting to it, principally because there was no one present to explain the bill. Representative Fred Zihlman, chair- man of the House District committee told the writer he would bring it up again next Wednesday at 10:30 o'clack and suggested it would be a good thing to have somebody present to explain the features of the bill. column is going to try to get Henry O’Malley, United States Commissioner of Fisheries to be present and asks that all others interested in the bill, who are able, to attend this hearing.

Sherrill, who was officer in charge of public build- ings and public grounds, issued an order prohibiting the catching of bass in months, and as far as this column knows this order never has been re- scinded. The matter has been placed before Col. Grant, Col. Sherrill's suc- cessor, who no doubt will see that further fishing in the Basin until next Spring is stopped. the Basin during the Winter Col.

Project Termed Reasonable. “I feel sure that no parent would object to giving his child a small fee of 26c to enable him to enjoy the fun of a day's fishing. About every boy and girl in and about Washington gets money from his or her parent to go to the movies these days. That same money could be spent far more heaithfully by the child in a fishing trip to the Basin. So let all, both Young and old, contribute their mites to the support of the Basin fishing project. “I also am heartily in favor of the idea. of providing boats with sliding seats for those who only want to take a_little exercise after office hours. This form of exercise is one from which great numbers would derive ex- ercise of the most pleasant and health- ful nature. Many of us get more or less walking exercise, but our poor old torso is too often allowed to go neg- lected, Rowing is the ideal exercise to bring’ into play the muscles of the back, arms and “abdomen, doing it gently, without the necessity for any violent straining, such as is required in some other pastimes. ‘“‘Hail to the basin! -Its possibilities for pleasure and recreation are at last to be fully enjoyed. ““Yours (gleefully), “HARRY E.

Another letter, this one addressed to the writer, say: “My Dear Mr. Perry Miller: "I ‘am always interested in your col- umn in The Star, but I am particu- larly interested in what appeared therein last night. “I am one of Washington's poor, benighted anglers, and know every rock in the Potomae River from Har- per's Ferry to Point Lookout. I have looked under each one for a large or small mouth bass. If you don't be- lieve this, look at the bottom of my canoe. % “Seriously, I am very much inter- ested in Senator Hawes’ bill, and am wondering if there was anything I could do to help. I am very busy this time of the yvear with my real estate, but busier in the Summer trying to catch a bass. However, if you think it would do any good, I will write one letter or many or will join the Poto- mac Anglers’ Association, in order to add one more voice in the demand for legislation that will protect these fine fish. “I think your scheme of charging a fee for fishing in the Basin an excel- lent one, as both you and I know what will happen if there is going to be no restriction.
