By the Associated Press. LTOONA, Pa., July 4—Lcu Moore of Los Angeles, s veleran de- spite his 25 years, vaced over the bcard oval here today to lead a field of 14 drivers from start to finish and win the 100-mile Independ- ence day automobile speed event. Maintaining an average speed of 108.7 miles an hour and finishing in 53 min- utes 10 seconds, Moore set a pace which none of his competitors could equal, and only Jimmy Gleason, delphia, and ‘Wilbur Shaw, Indianapolis, could ap- proach. Moore finished nearly a mile ahead of Gleason, whom he had lapped just after passing the 50-mile mark, and had a good 2-mile margin on Shaw. Four Fall to Finish, Back of the three leaders came & parade of West Ccast entries, with three Los Angeles men—Fred Frame, Tony Gulatio and Shorty Cantlon—taking fourth, fifth and sixth places. Paul Bost, Matthew, N. C., was seventh; Milt Jones, Cleveland, eighth; Al Aspen, Philadelphia, ninth, and Gene Hau- stein, Detroit, tenth. Four others did Gleason and Shaw drove thrilling races, dueling for the runner-up posi- tion and shifting places several times 2s they strove in vain to overtake the big machine which led the pack con- stantly on the mile-and-quarter track. Frame, who held second place in the national A. A. A. championship point standing by galning 70 points for fourth place, could not match the three lead- ers’ speed, and barely succeeded in crowding ahead of Gulatto after Tony had Jost ground in a thrilling but harm- less dip into the dirt apron during the first half of the race. Joey Huff, 24, Indianapolis, the young- est driver in the field, met Moore on even terms until a torn tire cost him 4 laps after 35 miles. Ten miles farther on Joey was eliminated when his car carecned into the rail at the east turn. Huff and his mechanic were unhurt. Chet Miller, Detroit, had a similar nar- row escape when his car threw its right rear wheel on the west turn. George Wingertner, Richmond Hill, N. Y., and Malcolm Fox, Westville, N. J., were un- able to finish due to motor trouble.

Pearce is entered in the regatta of the National Association of Amateur OCarsmen, which will be held in Phila- celphia July 24 and 25, his entry hav- ing been received yesterday from his home club, the Leander of Canada. In the coming regatta Pearce will meet the best scullers in the United States and Canada for the national cham- pionship.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER HARLES RICHARDS, director of public iaformation of the American Game Association, in his radio address for Rod and Stream last Thursday, sald that any body of water is Lmited in the number of fish it can sustain. He said cover and food are just as ifportant to fish life as is water. “Fish must have cover and food,” he sald. “A barren stream or lake is no place for fish. Supply the right kind of environment and you can materially improve your fishing next year. Plant- ing the banks of all streams with wil- lows and other trees that grow natural- ly along stream banks will supply shade, and the insect life that drops off into the water will materially add to the food supply of the fish. “If you want better fishing in the future plan now to build a series of small dems in every stream in the territory, where you fish; anchor the tops of trees in the larger streams to furnish hiding places for the fish; anchcr brush piles around the shores of the lakes, where you fish to supply cover for the small fish, and to attract all kinds of minute enimal life upon which the b:by fishes may feed, and next Spring plan to plant suitable zgetation in all your best fishing waters and make them siill batter.” ICHARDS took as his subject “In- dependence Day for Fishermen,” end said thet while a majority cf mankind were g:thering blisters on| their feet in varicus patriotic ways, there w:re thousands of others, who spent the day along fome beautiful stream or out on some fishing bar. ‘To most of thesz anglers the l'ourth was merely a go:d excuse to get away to their favorite fishing holes. “The wise father will pack up the whole family and take them 2!l along, give the young:ters a chance to wade or fish or merely play along the barks. He will tie those fellows to himself 80 they will always rcspect and admiire hi Ncthing brings a family closer together than sharing fun, adventure, plans and play. “And why shouldn't we take the boys and girls along? Fishing is a lesson 1 discipline and one of the world’s retest character builders. The man or boy, who has the patience to fish, whether it be with the most elaborate bambos rod and reel and all the fancy doodads, or whether it be with & willow | pole, a grocery store twine, scme two- for-a-penny hooks and a cork salvaged from an cld bottle, gets some lessons in self-control when fishing that he never will learn anywhere else. By all means, take the youngster along, and | ri if you are not lucky enough to have any of your own, go over and borrow a fieighbor’s lad, whose dad thinks he is too busy to go fishing and to really get acquainted with his own.” A LETTER from Pop Girling, well LAknown local angler, says: “On Saturday evening, June 27, George S. Anthcny, Harry Ruble, Tom Jones, Moyer Smothers, and Ollie Mur- phy, with yours truly, motored to Dukes Wharf, midway between Benedict and Broomes Island, and were soon aboard the launch Lusitania, skippered by Capt. Samuel Hooper. “Already on board was Teedy Zim- merman, who had preceded the party. Soon seven lines were overboard and seven hopeful souls were hoping. The night was perfect. The moon, about 48 hours from full, shone bright in a cloudless sky. Water calm. Flood tide running. The proverbial lucky seven, represented by seven men and seven lines, were on the job. In fact, all omens for good fishing were in correct Jjuxtaposition. “In a tree on the shore a whip-poor- will was willing, but it soon became ap- parent the fish were not. A choice as- sortment of succulent soft and peeler crabs, shrimp, bloodworms and a few prime cuts of fresh, juicy red salmon were offered, but no takers. Yes, sir, the bait was good. In fact, some of it was so good you couid taste each stave of the barrel it was aged in. Even liberal squirts of this potent elixir upon the bait failed to produce the desired re- sults.

The Patuxent certainly has a great crop of them this year. Mr. Ruble hooked one, and after quite a struggle (during which he locked his legs around nearly everything on the boat to keep from being pulled into the water) final- 1y boated him. This ezl almost wrestled both Mr. Ruble and the skipper over- board before they succeeded in separat- ing it from the hook.

Cnly two horses—the Belair Stud's Blerheim and E. R. Bradley's Barom- eter—dared to aitempt to match strides with the big bay from the Greentree Stable. Twenty Grand finished only cne and one-half lengths in front of Blenheim, but Charlie Kurisinger had the Kentucky Derby and Belmont Stakes winner under double wraps as he swung past the judges' stand in the slow time of 2:34 2-5 for the 1% miles. The time was nearly five seconds short of the track record hung up by Crusader in winning the 1926 renewal of the Dwyer. A crowd of 10,000 content to wager on which horse would finish second, got & small thrill as the fleld of three time with ~ Blenheim leading. All through the backstretch Bill Kelsay kept the Belair 3-year-old out in front, but the holiday crowd was not worried. It remembered Twenty Grand's great finishes in the Derby and Belmont takes. Charlie Kurtsinger never made his move with Twenty Grand patil they hit the top of the stretch, a\quarter of a ile home. For a few steps managed to match strides with the son of St. Germans, but not for long. Once out in front, Kurtsinger again took the champion in hand and coasted home while Blenheim beat Barometer four lengths for the place.

BY FRANCIS E. STAN. GRIZZLED ex-minor| leaguer, a young second baseman fresh from the University of Maryland's freshman team, and an even more youthful pitcher who had confined most of his ball playing to Eastern High School have produced the ef- fect of three stiff shots of strych- nine in District Repair Shop's base ball club, which now appears destined to repeat its pennant- winning feat of last year in the Departmental League. No other twilight loop club is nearer to a second series pennant than is Dis- trict Repair and, to quote one of the Repairmen’s rivals, “it is because George Seitz got hold of Art Ludlow, ‘Willie Wolf and Dick Lanahan.” | Just as no other club is nearer to the flag, than the Repair team, 50 was no other nine conceded a poor:r chance 1o win the second series than the team | whh‘:‘ch ostensibly intends to do just that thing. To‘dly Repair Shop is heading the Departmental League with four straight victories—as many as it won during the entire first half series—and most of the players are ready to admit that the man who way thought to have passed his peak (Ludlow); the youth- ful infielder who was thought to be a | “weak sister” at the plate (Wolf), and the kid who would find out that high school ball was vastly different from evening league ball (Lanahan), are the chaps who are more responsible for D. C.’s splurge than any other five men on the team. 'OT that the other Departmental, League clubs are conceding Dis- trict Repair the second half pen- nant. Not by a long shot. Commerce, which swept through to win the first series by taking 10 games in a row, especially has no idea of giving up and resting on iis laurels until the play-off series comes to see which nine will represent th> Depart- inental Le: in the city series. Whether D. C. will be stopped ere it clinches the flag may be seen tomor- row when the Repairmen and Com- merce clash at 5:15 on the East Ellipse in a game that's sure to draw out a mob of supporters. It probably will be Dick Lanahan on the mound for District Repair and eilher Leon Riley. Shout Taylor or Johnny Kearney will oppose. hHr' is how the Departmental League stan w. L D. C.
