Mitohell, fofmer Holy Cross athlete, who has held the post for the past four years, ROD AND STREAM - BY PERRY MILLER. EMBERS of the local chapter of the Izaak Walton League are congratulating themselves on the success of their first annual banquet at the Raleigh Hotel Wednesday. After listening to the ad- dresses delivered by Senator Harry B. Hawes o0f Missouri, Commissioner O'Malley of the United States Bureau ©f Pisheries and Swepson Earle, con- servation commissioner of Maryland, they feel that they can expect hearty co-operation in the program outlined by the local body. Col. C. Seymour Bullock, national Tepresentative of the parent body 2 Chichgo, 161d What the Tinak Walton itdoors. Commissioner O’Malley told of the work of the Bureau of Fisheries Tor the anglers of the country, what it has done for local anglers and what is con- templated Senator Hawes told of the work he has done in the Senate to aid not only local anglers but fishermen all over the country. He 'nld great thl::: of . Paul f of the Biological Survey, told in ::thlfleo( the work done by his bureau for fishermen and hunters. “Since 1912, Commissioner Earle said in the course of his address, “Maryland and have been working in close accord on the Potomac, and we now have reached a state where serious con- sideration is being given to rehabilitat- ing the natural oyster bars and giving the great shad, herring and striped bass fisheries the proper protection. Less than two decades ago this river sup- ported 600 dredge boats and 5,000 water- men. Today it will not support more than 50 boats. I just recite this as a striking example of the waste that has been allowed to run rampant in one of the best tributaries of the Chesa- e, 50 close to the District of Co- jumbia. It is conservatively estimated that up to 1912 the fisheries of the Po- tomac were valued at $1,000,000 & year. ‘The question is. can we bring this river back to its former productivity? “Maryland,” he said, “in 1929 & bill t prevent the sunken gill and drift nets from operating in the Po- tomac River. That law, of course, does not become effective until the State of Virginia passes similar legislation, but I am glad to say that a bill now is in the Senate of the Virginia Assembly outlawing these nets, along with several other concurrent bills, and I have every reason to believe that they will be adopted and end of He mentioned the efforts of the local tion to save the black bass and yellow pereh. He said that the Bureau of Pisheries has hatched out approxi- ‘mately 70,000,000 shad to be planted in the Potomac River. “One of the big problems in connec- tion with fish conservation in Mary- land is pollution of public waters,” Earle continued, laenlng.thlt oll pol- lution of Chesapeake y has been largely eliminated, and addire: 2 it Potomac River, however, is suff from - pollution of various sorts from Pledmont to tico. do not mean to say it is polMited in its entirety for this , but we have from Keyser, 4 hy manufacturing plants that are dispos- ing of their waste materials by empty- ing them into this important body of ‘water, thereby causing lution for miles at & stretch. In addition, we have the sewage of Cumberland and, un- fortunately, of Washington. It would seem that in the National Capi- tal, which is being beautified in every | possible way, would prevent the pollu- tion of the waters of the Potomac River, and with the increasing pollution from this great city, the situation must be met in the future, and should be started now.” The banqueters found the food fine |and the talent likewise. Mrs. Alex- | ander G. Bentley sang & new song entitled “The Red Rose,” a composi- tion by Louis Thompson, sung for the first time in public, and “Kiss Me Again.” Others mflfln( ‘were Miss Florence Yokam, young Washing- ton girl who won the last Atwater Kent contest for the Eastern section of the country, accompanied by Miss Gretchen Hood; George O'Connor and Mat Horn, the Dawson brothers, Harry and John, better known as the ‘“close harmon- izers” and Mrs. Shelby Livingston, whose “blues” songs were roundly ap- plauded. Following the program by the artists of the evening, a wonderful moving picture show by “Ike” Hopkins, & mem- ber of the local chapter, depicting fish and wild life, was shown. The re- mainder of the evening was devoted to dancing. To top off the successes of the eve- ning, 60 applications for membership { were received from those nt. goal of the local chapter ship of 500 and it hopes to reach that figure this year.

Taking It on the i Chin! The Hardest Sock I Ever Got. BY TOMMY LOUGHRAN. ENE TUNNEY hit me the hard- est punch I ever felt, in an eight-round no-decision bout in Philadelphia. That punch convinced me I had natursl fighting instinct as well as ability to stand the gaff. I also learned it doesn't pay to be over-confident. I had won 45 consecutive matches. The forty-fifth was with the late Harry Greb, after he had won the world light- heavyweight title from Gene in New York. I beat Harry in an eight- round no-decision contest, and I was feeling quite satis- fled with Mother Loughran’s son. I met Tunney about six weeks later. And I E‘n careless.
