MIDDY SWEEPS OFF FOR OLYMPIC TEST Schultz and Brown Take Places of Gray and Schumaker in Races at Princeton. AN‘NAPOLIS‘ Md, July 3—The Navy crew, under Head Coach Charles Walsh, left here this morning for Princeton, where it is entered in the Olympic tryouts, starting tomor- Tow. The crew, composed of three en- signs and five members of’ the Naval Academy second class, and cox- swained by Lieut. Victor Krulak, Ma- rine Corps, is determined to fight des- perately and hopefully in spite of last- minute changes in key men. Finding that Jim Gray did not edapt himself to the short distance after the 4-mile contest at Pough- keepsie, Walsh placed Paul Schultz, Jayvee stroke in that position on the varsity, and 157-pound Charley Brown at 7, in place of Vincent Schu- maker, Schultz the whole season. The crew will be completed with Walter Bayless, bow; George Bullard, 2; Bd Hoffman, 3; Capt. Allan Flem- ing, 4; Arthur Yeates, 5, and George Whiteside, 6. Shortly before leaving. Walsh ex- pressed his belief that Pennsylvania, which the Navy meets in the first heat, along with California, would be his crew's most dangerous op- ponents. STANDS BY CAMERA EYE.

They spent approximately $1,500,~ 000 on the highly successful Los An= geles exhibit in the Olympics of 1932. 8o far they have spent well over $20,- 000,000 for the Olympics of 1936. At Los Angeles they sold 1,700,000 tickets to spectators. At Berlin they have already sold 3,600,000 tickets a full month ahead of the games, with a. forecast of around 4,500,000 tickets be- fore the first event breaks loose. This is something more than any one looked for since Emperor Theo- dosius of Rome cancelled the Olympic games as a public nuisance in 392 AD. Best Squad Ever. 'HE American team at Princeton an at Randalls Island will prove to be the strongest Olympic outfit ever hauled under one tent in the history of athletics. That doesn't mean it will mop up from start to finish at Berlin. There are other nations with other stars—runners, oarsmen, swim- mers—fast men and strong men from England, Italy, Germany Japan and Finland, in particular. The main story now is not the month-away Olympics, but the nerve- wrecking job of winning a place on the Olympics boat that sails July 15 for Berlin. There will be more than s few heartaches by sundown dn Sun- play demonstration contests at Berlin.

HY not take a fishing trip in West Virginia? It is prac- tically all hilly or moun- tainous country, and offers some of the finest fresh water game fishing within easy driving distance of Washington. The bass season opened two days ago. and the trout season re- mains open until the end of this month, so now is the time to go. You can hardly travel 5 miles in West Virginia without coming a a stream that has not been stocked either with trout or bass. About the best bass fishing is in some of the branches of the Potomac River in Berkeley. Morgan. Hampshire and Min- eral Counties. Well-known streams in that section are the Shenandoah River, Black Creek, Meadon Creek, the Caca- pon Rivers, South Branch, Patterson Creek and New Creek. Other good bass streams are the Greenbriar River, Elk River, Coal River, Little Kanawha, Gauley River, Middle Island Creek, Tug River, Blue- stone and Guyandot. There are many | more than just the few listed here, but | generally speaking the streams in the | mountainous sections are trout streams and the others have bass. Bass prefer | the wider, larger waters, while the trout are up where the streams are | clearer, more rapid and fresher. | The Monongahela National Forest, located along the Allegheny Mountains in Pocohontas, Pendleton, Randolph, | | Tucker and Grant Counties, has sev- | eral hundred miles of trout streams | stocked each year by forestry officials | and the Conservation Commission. Ot- ter, Glady, Laurel, Gandy and Seneca are trout streams, while the Black- water and Cheat Rivers are very popu- lar bass waters. ‘HE conservation had several streams cloced to all fishing until the bass season opened to protect them during spawning. These were Back Cresk. Cacapon River, Sleepy Creek and the Shenandoah. All these streams mentioned and many others supply excellent fishing, but the best bets for bass are the South Branch, Shenandoah River and Cacapon River in the order named. To reach the South Branch drive up to Winchester, Va.: then take High- way 50 to Romney, exactly 113 miles from Washington. You will be right in the middle of some mighty fine fishing country. A little nearer home in Virginia some very good bass fishing may be | found. Almost every county has sev- | eral stocked streams, a list of which | will be furnished by Tourist Bureau at. the American Auto- mobile Association, or it may be ob- | tained by writing the Commission of | Game and Inland Fisheries at Rich- | mond. We have one here in the office if you care to drop in and look it over. The list contains the streams in each county, what may be caught in them and a list of hotel and tourist ac- commodations. It makes a very fine addition to the local angler's library. About the best bass fishing in Vir- (Greatest U. S.

Upset Chance Great, 'ARE the cases of Bonthron, Cun- ingham and Venzke. They have been named as the three best milers in the country—or the three best 1,500-meter runners. All three have their eyes and their hearts set on making this 1936 team. But there also is San Romani of Emporia, to mention only one additional challenger. Romani is good enough to beat Venzke, Bon- thron or Cunningham, if any one from this trio happens to be even slightly off. And no runner can figure in advance just when he will be at peak form. Bill, Gene and Glenn, at one time or another, have been around this middle distance top for nearly four years. It would be something of a tragedy to find any one of the trio missing when the boat sails—but it #5 possible enough. There is no question now that your Uncle Sam will be stronger from 100 meters through 5,000 meters—from Owens to Lash—than he has ever been before. Once again this doesn't mean any mop-up. Owens, Metcalfe, Luvalle, Williams and Eastman will be hard to handle in the four shorter sprints or races. But from that point on the job takes on a number of rougher edges—from 1,500 on through the marathon where the Argentine’s Zahala is ready again for another record.

Now | that the blues are well in, they are | being caught by trolling, but its best to play safe and take some chum along. Capt. Brady McKay writes from Ridge that he had a party of Wash- from 6 to 7 pounds. Fourteen were caught trolling and the remainder chumming. That makes it about & 50-50 proposition as other boats there | were catching more by chumming, and only turning to trolling when the chum ran out. LUEFISH also are doing right by the anglers over in the Atlantic. James D. Jarman at Ocean City, Md., reports that Lieut. George A.

Fishing for blues is very erratic, though, because of the weather, Jar- | man says. “When it comes a good day | we get in a punch just like Schmel- | ing did. The next day is rough and we {go down like Lewis.” Weakfish and ik!ngs are being caught from the pier jand the channel bass at Fox Hill | Levels.

BY ALAN GOULD, Associated Pyess Sports Editor. EW YORK, July 3.—When the Olympic track and fleld argu- ment comes down to an issue of agility, your Uncle Samuel’s lads consistently have demonstrated their ability to out-jump or out-vault the world. ‘The only exception concerns the hop, manifested little interest in the triple jump since earliest Olympic days and supremacy in it has passed to the op- posite side of the world.

He has an unofficial world | mark of 51 feet plus. In the running broad and high jumps, as well as the pole vault, it's a red, white and blue bordered story.

EW YORK, July 3.—Just when it looked as though the United States was running out of “iron men” for the classic Olympic decathlon, severest of all individual athletic tests, the Rocky Mountain area has turned up with a record-smasher, all primed to meet the world’s best at Berlin this August. Glenn Morris, 24-year-old Denver automobile salesman, who shattered the world record with a mark of 7,880 points in the final Olympic try- outs at Milwaukee last Saturday takes rank with the most phenomena! athletes ever developed by this coun- | try for all-around competition.

Morris dropped out of the pole vault after achieving only 11 feet 4 inches, but he can do better than that if the Olympic pressure requires. Displaces Clark, Morris has displaced Bob Clark of the Olympic Club, San Francisco, as America’s No. 1 decathlon candidate Clark was unable to keep up with his | Denver rival at Milwaukee, despite one of his best performances, includ- ing a broad jump of 25 feet 111, inches.

PLYMOUTH, England, July 3—T. 0. M. Sopwith's new yacht, Endeavor II, prospective challenger for the America’s Cup, and W. L. Stephen- son’s Velsheda both were dismasted in a race off here. They were caught in the teeth of a gale in the English Channel. While she was pounding in the trough of the sea the new Endeavour's steel spar snapped off at the lower crosstrees. As the mast went the boom, mainsail and rigging came crashing down on deck. Almost in the next instant Velsheda's mast carried away eight feet above her deck. The two yachts, covered with fallen and tangled tophamper, lay slam- ming about in tumbling seas. Much of the gear slid off and dragged to leeward. There was only one casualty. A member of the Endeavour II's crew received a face injury. The Endeavour of two years ago, with which Sopwith unsuccessfully tried to capture the America’s Cup, also was in the race and bore down on each disabled yacht in turn, of- fering assistance. Tugs and motor yachts were summoned from shore and two of them towed the disabled rac- ers in here. o SEEK DOUBLE-HEADER.

BARKS #om - ROBABLY one of the most| | important developments in | | the field of dog breeding and raising has been the research in nutrition, with emphasis on the | vitamins. A few years ago it was thought that calories were the im- | portant units in food. but experiments | proved that dogs as well as people could starve to cdeath in spite of a plentitude of feed. The emphasis shifted from an in- terest in calories alone to a proper distribution of calories among the different food elements.

Many Called, Few Chosen. ‘HE latest statistics released by the American Kennel Club reveal that, 11-5 per cent of the dogs registered by that body become champions. On that basis, of the 6,625 dogs registered in May, about 80 will be champions by Christmas of 1937.

'HERE now are almost as many | known vitamins designated by let- ters’as there are new bureaus in the Government. The more alert dog feed manufacturers have been quick to take advantage of this new knowledge, at least in their advertising, and claim stuffed products. The story of the vitamins is far from complete, how- {is some doubt about their staying there. It certainly is known that heat affects some, air others; perhaps others binations. The following is a brief summary of the vitamins as found in fresh foods and their effects or values. Vitamin A—Source, leafy vegetables, cod liver oil; value, builds resistance to certain bacterial infections, fore- stalls certain eye infections. Vitamin B—Source, milk, yeast, liver; value, stimulates appetite, tones up digestion, prevents anemia and nervousness. Vitamin D—Source, cod liver oil, sunshine; value, prevents rickets. Vitamin E—Source, wheat germ, let- tuce; value, prevents sterility. Vitamin G—Source, yeast, fruits, greens; value, protects against black tongue.

About Gun-Shyness. ROUND the Fourth of July, the problem of the gun-shy dog both- ers more than the hunting addict. What to do with the dog that goes crazy at the sound of a firecracker, that is simply haywire when a Sum- mer storm brews? What makes some dogs hypersensitive to certain noises that seemingly do not affect other dogs at all? And what is the cure, if any? A consensus would indicate that gun shyness, like other mental traits, is hereditary. Yet puppies descended from gun-shy parents, when taken early enough, often have developed into stanch dogs. Some people report good results in breaking dogs of gun shyness by conditioning them to loud reports, according to the text-book wonderful results for their vitamin- | ever, and while it may be true that | | the vitamins go into the feeds, there suffer when exposed to certain com- | the same functions, more or less, and | years. It seems, however, that that average is going down with the in- crease in both shows and show goinz For the fourth consecutive monti cocker spaniels led the role in regis- trations. Boston terriers were second, Scottish terriers were third and fox terriers fourth. Several Shows Siated. 'HE middle of October will see the beginning of the Fall circuit of southern shows. This year the pro- cession will start with a license show in nearby Virginia, sponsored by the Old Dominion Kennel Club. Possi- bly this will be one of & trio which will include the St. Margaret's Hunt Club show and the Rockeville Kennel lub show. With a pet show sponsored by the public schools of Baltimore in Septem- ber, and a bang-up sanction show featured by the Baltimore County Kennel Club the end of September, this neighborhood ought to be able |t learn all there is to know about dogs and dog shows in short order.
