Shoe Pitchers’ Stamina on Trial : Old Dominion Jubilee Will Be Gala Affair| Long, Back at Old Post, To Bein Red Bird Line-Up Today TOURNE TO PLAY 50 Y CONTESTANTS -POINT GAMES Endurance Proves Vital Factor in Determining Metropolitan Champion—Soldiers of Alex- ander the Great 3 Invented Game. LINGING horseshoes originally was a trial of physical strength. Little or no skill was employed at first by the soldiers of Alex- ander the Great, who are credited with the game's invention. They threw for distance, just as the discus was hurled. ‘When one of them conceived the idea of throwing the irons at a target he converted a rather dull one that 2,000-odd years later wa: a guess some 5,000 or more of these are preparing to battle for the | pastime into a fascinating sport— s to find millions of devotees. On championship of the Metropolitan area of Washington, in the sec- ond annual tournament promoted The introduction of stakes did not eliminate strength as a fac- tor in the game. Far from it, though it was less of an asset in the Macsdonians’ game than in the modernized sport. The original pitchers used regular horzeshoes. which are much smaller than the specially made irons that are popular today. The latter weigh 2! pounds apeice and considerable effort is fequired to toss them the regulation dis- tance of 40 fcet. Durability Told. Stamina played an almost vital part in deciding the metropolitan cham- pionship issue last year. In each of three major play-offs, in which three men were involved, each time the one who drew a bye and consequently was resting while the other two pitched. won out. Millard A. Peake of Bethe: da got this “break” twice—in the win- ning of the Southern Maryland cham- pionship and later the metropolitan title. Alexander Kirchner of Barcroft drew the bye and won the Northern Virginia crown Because horseshoe pitching with mod- ern equipment was new to a vast ma- ority of participants in the tournament ast year. short games were played in the early rounds and no one's stamina was _taxed. However, there has been much horseshoe hurling since then and this year's contestants will be put to a thorough test. Instead of 21 pints, & by The Washington Star. game will consist of 50. In all final matches, two out of three games will decide the victor. Up to the finals cne game will constitute a match. Will Save Time, Another important change from last | year will nave to do with the schedul- ing of matches in the Washington pre- liminaries, nearly all of which will be held on municipal playgrounds. Only a fow matches will be scheduled each day and the pajrings for these will be published in The Star well ahead of time. Thus will be avoided the conges- tion that marked last vear's prelimi- narics and this plan will be a time saver | for many pitchers. | Things will be further simplified by | the posting of a bracketed scoreboard at each tournament, enabling the survivors ' | of each round to identify their oppo- |nents for the next and make definite dates to play. Any player who delays long enough in reporting for a scigd- ulod match to hold up the tournament will b2 defaulted Chairmen of fournaments in Mary- | |land and Virginia will follow the same | | gen-wal rules governing the Weshington preliminaries, Entry blanks will be. available at all the playgrounds within a few days and at The Star sports department.

The dyed-in- | the-wool anglers who visit the pier at ‘Chr‘sapcake Beach have been disap-| pointed so . far this scason. Several | anglers who like to fish at night have waited all night on the pier without getting a strike. A. H. G. Mearns informs this col- umn_that the season for the big channel bass has opened at Wacha- | preague and that last Thursday two | boats on the ocean had catches of nine each. Two boats fishing on the | inside of Wachapreague Bay landed | one channel bass each and another | angler lost hooks, lne and sink-rs when he hooked one of these big “fellers.” | Over' on the Eastern Shore Capt. Dan P. Ball reports that all boats are | meking large catchcs of hardhead and | some rock. | The best fishing right now is at Solo- | mons Island, where hardhead and rock | are furnishing great spoit. The hird- | head are being caught both in the Bay and in the Patuxent River, Off Point Pati-nce the rockfish are putting up great battles with the trollers. J. C. Webster fishing at this place last Sat- urday landed 25 of these beauties, the | largest weighing 9 pounds. APT. ERNEST MESSICK says that fishing down at Benedict has been very good during lest' week, and that on Thursdey his party landed 39 hardhead and 1 rock .and that other boats returned with catches of from 30 t0 40 herdhead. The hardhead have not commenced to strike around Chesapeake Beach 2nd the Herring Bay district, according to reporis. In the lower Potomac around Leon- ardtown and Piney Point the reports last week were not very encouraging, but. some catches were being made of hardhead and rock. Anglers returning from the Maryland trout streams report these places pretty well fished out.” The fih” caught are small. [ e | HE first fish to be entered in the Rod and Stream contest. was a large : rockfish caught in the Potomac River | by Fred B. Mills of 44 Longfellow street | northeast. Mills in reporting his catch, said he" was fishing from a boat directly under €Chain Bridge in the middle of | the stream. He was using cut herring for bait. He said it took him 15 min- | | utes to subdue his prize, which weighed 14 pounds and 2 ounces, RS. FLORENCE P. KAHN, Repre- sentative from California, who was Rod and Stream's radio speaker last Thursday, gave some very interesting facts about flishing in her home State and told why California is one of the best fishing States in the Union Mrs. Kahn said that California has | 26,000 miles of inland water fishing streams and 10,000 lakes available for | tHe sportsmen. These streams, she said, | were stocked with trout, rainbow, brown, | steelhead, Loch Leven, cutthroat, east- | ern brook trout and the beautiful golden | trout, and large and small mouth bass In the ocean the angler can find al- most any species of fish he desires, sai!- | | fish, tuna, swordfish, striped bass or | wai (ward) rock fish, and others too numerous to | mention. | Mrs. Kahn said that California has the largest trout hatchery in the world | at Mount Shasta. With 52 brood ponds | |and 5 hatcheries it is equipped to| {handle more than 10,000,000 trout & year. [ Nets in the Chesapeake Bay and its | ributaries below Pooles Island, set to | | catch shad and herring, must be taken |up immediately, Swepson Earle, Mary- land conservation commissioner, an- ‘nuunres. Those above Poole's Island | can remain until June 10, he added. | | Violators of this order are subject to | | a fine of from $25 to $100. According |to law the nets should have been re- | moved May 31, but Commissioner Earle | conceded the fishermen 10 days added | time. RVING A. LEHMAN sends in the | | folowing letter: | “My dear Mr. Miller: “For the past six weeks or more I have noticed with a great deal of interest that your columns are better and more ‘newsy’ than they have been in past years, and I believe that if more of your readers were to let you hear from them you could keep the readers up to date better and thus| render a better service.

Anyhow, that's exactly what happened to Marshall Morgan, who visited that place last week in company with Ccl. J. P. Turrell of this city and Maj. Carl Hanna of Norfolk. ‘They caught four of these sea horses fishing in the surf. Morgan landed the largest on a_30-pound-test cuttyhunk line, using a Greenheart rod and a Wil- son Seagirt reel. He said it took him 30 minutes to get his fish near enough to gaff him. At cne time the fish made such a run that he thought all his line was gone and that he would sure- ly lose him, but luck was with him and just at that time the fish started to come in toward shore, which saved the day.

NDICOTT, N. Y., June 7.—If this serious-minded, rather serious- looking young Teuton is upset| E | or depressed by the glowing no- tices that have bubbled out of Jack Sharkey’s headquarters, he is at least a good actor. He doesn’t show it in any way. Schmeling is as smart as a fox and he seems to understand that the fight- ing type will never look as good in training as the boxing type. In fact the way they look in training is no sign of how they will look under fire in the ring ‘Three of the worst train- ing camp fighters any one ever saw were Gene Tunney, Mickey Walker and Benny Leonard. I re several of Tunney’s friends leaving Stroudsburg as blue as indigo. His sparring part- ners were cuffing him around and he had a!most nothing to show. But he knew what he was about. When Jack Dempsey saw Mickey Walker in training on the Coast for the first time he refused to believe such a_terrible looking fighter could Walker. Billy Gibson once said that on two occasions out-of-town pro- moters, who saw Leonard work out, came to him in deep. indignation afd It was' not until the fights took place was something else again' when the old bell rang for action. It is all too often a different story when they jump from | sparring parincrs and the training | show to face the ordeal of actual fighting. For and Against. ERE are some of the main details to be considered for and against | the German challenger. For—Smart, young, strong; danger- | ous puncher, perfectly conditioned; will- | ing to take a chance; cool under fire. Against—Will be outweighed and out- boxed; lacks Sharkey's experience; not as good with two hands. Two years ago Joe Sekyra was rated as a pretty good boxer. Yet Schmel- ing was all.over him and Joe had little chance to show his boxing skill. Schmeling that. the same will happen to Sharkey. They take the angle that 7o0d crowder can force the boxer into the crowder's game, especially if the crowder is fast enough to get in close in a hurry as Dempsey, for ex- | ipnini | ample, used to be. | This s true, but it must be remem- | bered that with as good a two-handed puncher as Sharkey can be the crowder | must first run serious risks in these | first early charges, Max will have| to take something of 'a shelling if Sharkey looks anything «like he has | oked through the last two weeks. When this_point is brought up the‘ rebuttal is all ready. “That may be true,” they say, “but remember this— nene of them look so good with a| dangerous puncher coming in looking | for a chance to land. ~Sharkey is| smart enough to know that any man | who can drop Risko with one crack can also drop him, or any one else | now around. They won't look so good | when a mistake may leave them on the | floor. It is easy enough. for a good boxer to look like a million dollars | when he can do his stuff in complete | safaty. It isn't so easy when one slip | may cost him the title.” | This is true, to a large extent. Back I once asked Battling Levinsky how it felt to fight Dempsey. | | At this time the Battler was pretty well | up the list. T thought I could outbox | him easily.” he said. “But when I got | in the ring 1 suddenly realized that Dempsey could afford fo make several mistakes against my punching, while 1 couldn’t afford to make one against | him. I knew that if I left one opening the fight was over. That tied me up. Dempsey's offense had turned into & good defense on that account.” BEFORE y automobile, rive the new NASH your selection DEcatur 2280 | rough and tumble fighter who couldn't Not Afraid to Fight. IT is pretty evident that Schmeling isn't in the least afraid of Sharkey. Some 18 months 2go they were tell- ing him how tough Risko was. Risko had gone 12 rounds with Tunney. He had beaten Jack Sharkey. He was a | be hurt. He was big, strong and game. Schmeling listened to all this from vari- ous sides, but went in expecting to win. In the case of Sharkey he lets you know that he has followed Sharkey’s career quite carefully—how good Jack looked before the Dempsey fizht—how he was to chase Risko out of the ring— the fine condition he showed in mm-‘l ing for Phil Scott. But he recalls that a jab and a stab in the third round from Scott's left and right upset all of Sharkey’s stuft and suddenly turned hm him sour. All his science had dis- integrated in three seconds to second- rate stuff. Schmeling knows all this. Even if he takes a tidy shellacing in the first few rounds he will still carry in his head the belief that one solid whack will bring him.back on even terms again. Schmeling says that he has no =et plan, but he is too smart a fighter not to have one or more plans worked out, all depending on what will happen-in the first round or so. No one can go in blind, and it Is just as big a mistake to have only one set plan. that might be overthrown. Sharkey almost caught Dempsey by crossing him with a sudden | attack that the old Mauler never looked for. He was dizzy bafore he could ad- just himself. | The main point to make about Schhme!ing is this—he is as smart a ' ‘heavyweight as the ring has se'n. He | is cool, and apparently he is game. And | e can punch. That at least is some- thing to start with fn any fight. (Copyright, 1930. by North American News- paper Alliance.) | | FARMER STRIKES OUT 15 AS ST.
