The Crowded Month
HE fight game has run from
famine to overflow, from rags
to riches, at the fastest pace any-
one can recall.
The startling defeat of Ray Rob-
inson by Randy Turpin has left the
September situation badly over-
jammed.
Jim Norris naturally wants a
Robinson-Turpin return match for
September with the prospect of a
$500,000 show. He also wants to give
Joe Louis his shot at the lost title
in the same month. He has plans
for the younger heavyweights who
have been moving forward.
Certainly of all the September
parties, the Turpin-Robinson meet-
ing heads the list in the way of gen-
eral interest. Robinson's defeat is
old stuff now, but it is still an al-
most unbelievable episode. The
reason for this is plain. British
fighting men have been so bad
through so many years that one
takes British defeat for granted be-
fore a glove is thrown.
There are many still who want to
see what happened to Robinson
since he crossed the purling Arian
tic. Slumps in fighting form are not
uncommon but it is
difficult to see how
Roblnson could
have gone back
that far.
One answer is
that Randy Turpin
must be a much
better fighter than
he was rated. Even
a slipping Robinson,
a skidding Robin-
GrantlanS Rice son is still some-
' thing to beat.
SO everyone, in any way inter-
ested in the boxing game, or the
career of a champion, wants to
know what the true answer is.
What has Turpin in his system
bat was overlooked? Why has Rob-
inson gone back? Or how far has
Robinson gone back?
Ray bestrode his field like a tow.
ering Collossus up to the Turpin
moment. It must have been a rude
shock after so many years to find
himself outboxed and outpuched
by a considerable margin.
There are many reasons why a
Turpin-Robinson return will attract
the biggest crowd of many years,
plus one of the richest harvests.
This could be true in England or
over here. With the fading days
of Joe Louis upon us, Robinson had
become the sole survivor of the
ring's greater days, when Dempsey,
Tunney, Henry Armstrong and m
few others were around.

The Long, Long Trail
Joe Louis is now more obsessed
than'ever that he will be heavy-
weight champion again before Sep-
tember passes on. He will tell you
he had a different feeling in his
Savold match, a feeling of deeper
confidence, of greater speed, of his
ability to hit and hurt.
I have seen champions before who
were keen enough to regain their
lost titles. Jim Corbett was one,
back in the years when he trained
.o desperately for the Jeffries fight.
Corbett astonished Jeffrles and the
world at large by his amazing con-
dition.
Dempsey lost no time in facing a
long, hard training campaign for
his second meeting with Tunney. He
worked for many hours a day for
the better part of a year to be
ready for this meeting. The fact is,
I think he overdid it. He had a close
call in the early part of his Sharkey
bout, and might have left the scene
that night a badly beaten man. But
the keen dslre to get another crack
at Tunney helped Jack along.
But Louis has a burning, blister.
Ing desire, Possibly unequalled in
ring history, to put the old crown
back upon the Louis knob. It will
also help cover the expanding bald
spot.
Few believe the Bomt)er tsae
speed enough to accomplish his
wish. But whatever happens I be-
lieve Louis will look better in this
next championship test than he
looked before. No one can wish that
hard for something and not have at
least a chance to make the dream
come true.

The Last Big Charge
A year ago Mrs. Dodge Sloane's
Brookmeade Stable dropped famous
Calumet from first place as the top
money winner of the year.
It isn't likely that Calumet will
lead the financial parade this busy
season of 1951. It may be Brook-
meade again, or Greentree. or Son-
ny Whitney, or George Widener.
Or some other stable.
But the Jones boys, Ben and Jim.
my, plus Mrs. Warren Wright, are
giving Calumet one big final whirl,
whatever happens later. Their two
major performers are Citation and
Bewitch.
Last winter at Santa Anita. Ben
Jones told me that 1952 would write
the big story for Calumet.
"We have seven colts by Bull
Lea and six f4tes." he said. "We
will have little for 1951. outside of
my aid-timers. But we may have|
plenty for 1952. We may get an.
other Citation or another Coaltown
or another Wbirlaway.

Bright
Idea
By Richard H. Wilkinson
R. and Mrs. Roscoe Hardy found
themselves in a sad predica-
ment. For years they had solved the
problem of summer vacations by
visiting friends and relatives. They

and the method of fishing it.
For all practical fishing purposes
a trout's life may be divided into
three activities--resting, eating and
spawning. When resting, a trout lies
in quiet, rest-conducive water and
is reluctant to move. When eating
he moves into water that produces
food, and strikes readily at moving
objects which have the appearance
of food. At spawning time, he seeks
still another kind of water and pays
little attention to food, although
other species may follow along tc
feast on the eggs which are de-
posited in the gravel on the bottom
of the stream. Fly fishermen have
scant fun with spawning trout, or
with their camp followers.
Looks for Signs
Upon reaching a stream an ex-
perienced angler looks for signs of
working trout. He looks closely in
the riffles, in the slick currents
above and below the riffles, in the
tail-end of pools and in water close
under the banks. If trout are feeding
on the surface they are easily seen
because they break the water and
often jump clear out of the water.
If they are feeding deep it is not so
easy to see them because the re-
fraction of light in the riffle and on
the surface conceals activity on the
bottom. But even when trout are
feeding deep, a patient angler can
spot them. His trained eyes catch
the momentary flash of a trout's
side as it turns against the current,
or they may pick up a tail fin break-
ing the surface, A pair of polaroid
glasses helps cut through the sur-
face glare.
It is of course obvious that deep-
feeding fish will respond best to
deep-fished flies. Tailing fishthose
which expose a tail fin as they stand
on their head to take read--are nos-
ing the bottom for nymphs or feed-
ing on those which have broken
loose and are swimming toward
the surface. Surface feeding fish are
gorging on hatches of new summer
flies emerging from the water or
on old flies which are laying their
eggs on the surface of the water.
Trout lying lazily in deep, still
pools rarely bite on flies or any-
thing else. These pools are usually
resting places. Trout seen there are
probably well fed and torpid. They
move out to more productive waters
when their hunger is aroused.
Observes Conditions
The successful fly fisherman ob-
serves all these natural conditions
before he starts fishing. He fishes
his flies where fish are working at
the moment, and selects his flies
to imitate the appearance of the
insects which currently attract the
trout. By this manner of fishing the
fly, he approximates the natural
action of the insect itself.
For deep-feeding trovt, a fisher-
man's most successful fly will often
be one of the hair flies, tied to imi-
tate caddis-fly larvae, rock worms,
stone-fly, larvae or other such
creatures which spend their youth
on the bottom of the stream.
For the midsection--between bot-
tom and surfacebest patterns are
flies like the grey hackle, the
nymphs, and the slim-bodied
single-wing flies.
On the top-deck--on the surface
or just beneath it--best patterns are
the divided-wing flies.
The flies in each of these classifi.
cations call for a fishing technic of
their own. The hair flies commonly
work best when fished .close to the
bottom. It may take a split shot to
put them there. The nymphs and
hackles bring results when fished
from bottom to surface. The di-
vided wing wet flies are fished just
under the surface. Dry flies, of
course, are fished dry, floating on
the surface and in no other way, as
explained in a subsequent article.
The simplest way to fish a wet fly
is to cast across the stream, allow-
[ing the current to catch the fly and
swing it down and back across to
the near side. While this is the sim-
plest way it is not always the best
way, but on fairly large streams
such as the Rio Grande. the Gunni-
son and others of like size. it is
just as good as any other. For
smaller streams, the angler will do
better if he fishes his fly directly
up stream, allowing the current to
bring the fly down toward him.
/x A
For The Beginner
Except in unusual circumstances.
the beginning fly fisherman should
atways use two snelled flies, tied
with short gut loops, and with about
a seven and one-half foot leader.
One of these flies, the bottom one.
is called the terminal fly, the other.
the "dropper." The dropper fly is
attached to the top dropper loop.
A cast of two flies is suggested to
the beginner because trout some-
times reluctant to hit a single-fly,
will strike when two are offered.
The future looked black. The
Hardy's bank account was never
lower. Then Roscoe had an idea
He remembered that once upon a
time he had an Uncle Ralph. Rumors
drifted in, unfounded, that Uncle
Ralph had gone to Alberta, Canada,
established himself in the wheat
business and prospered.
Now then, thought Roscoe, why
not restore Uncle Ralph to the good
graces of the family circle? Why
not cook up a story about Uncle
Ralph suddenly dying and making
Roscoe and Mrs. Roscoe sole heirs
to his millions? Why not mention
this in a letter to Cousin Beatrice
and Chauncey Hardy, who lived in
Philadelphia and who had practi-
cally evicted them two years ago?
And if it worked on Beatrice and
Roscoe gulped. "It's--it's that
relative that's visiting them."
hauncey, why not try it on other
relatives?
Mrs. Roscoe Hardy had al-
ways been rather grudging
about handing out compliments
to her husband. But she had to
admit that this plan was de-
serving of a lot of credit. She
even agreed to write the letter
to Beatrice herself.
"--and as you probably know,"
Mrs. Roscoe wrote, "dear Uncle
Ralph, who has been living in Al-
berta these past 20 years, passed
way a month ago and has made
as sole heirs to his millions. Natural-
ly we are upset at the news of his
death, and would like to come to
Philadelphia for a week or two to
rest up and visit you."
Less than three days elapsed be-
fore Mrs. Roscoe had a reply.
"Darling Grace," Beatrice wrote,
"news of dear Uncle Ralph's death
has upset us terribly. Of course you
need a rest. And both Chauncey
and I will be delighted to have you
Rs our guests for as long as you
Want to stay. despite the fact that
at present we have other relatives
visiting us. Chauncey. and I can

rOOm."
"Humph!" Mrs. Roscoe folded the
lett" with a look of triumph.
T WAS a long drive to Phila-
delphia, and Roscoe had been
able to borrow barely enough to
get them there. But the future now
loomed bright. There would be a
)leasant month of relaxation, free
from worry about the cost of meals,
and always there was the possi-
bility of being able to touch Chaun-
cey for a hundred or two. And after
that, more relatives, more pleasan!
:iaes, and more touches. Roscoe
figured they could work their pres-
ent scheme for at least a year in
afety, while the "estate" was be-
ing settled.
The Roscoe Hardys arrived in
Philadelphia late one rainy night
and drove up to Cousin Chaungey's
with glad expectancy. The place
was brightly lighted.
Roscoe honked his horn shrilly
and had the satisfaction of seeing
Cousin Chauncey jump to his feel
and rush to the door.
"I'll go up and get Chauncey tc
ome out for our luggage," Roscoe
told his wife."
Roscoe climbed out of the ca)
and ran through the pelting rain
to the house. He disappeared in.
side, while Mrs. Roscoe waited. She
waited perhaps three minutes and
then became irritable. What wa
the idea? she asked herself. Whal
kind of a reception was this for the
heirs of millions?
The front door suddenly burst
open and Roscoe came hurtling
down the walk.
Breathing heavily, Roscoe climbec
into the car. There was a wild lool
n his eyes.
"For heaven's sake. what's hap-
pened?" Mrs. Roscoe demanded
"What's the matter?'"
Roscoe gulped. "It'sit's that--
relative that's visiting them."
"Relative? Who--oh, the one
Beatrice spoke about in her detter.
Well. what about it? Who is it,
nyway?"
Roscoe gasped again, this time
sot entirely from lack of breath
"It's Uncle Ralph!" he blurted

Coal Was Created
Before Human Advent
What is coal? How was it made?
Well, it all started many millions
0f years ago, in what is called the
Carboniferous Period. We some-
times call it the Coal Age. The
climate was very warm and moist
all over the earth. There were
heavy rains. Plants grew fast and
luxuriantly, especially in swampy
areas.
In our country, these great
swamps extended in all directions
to where we find coal today in
what is now Pennsylvania and
the whole Appalachian range, the
middle Atlantic states, the Rocky
Mountains, and even the far away
Pacific Coast. The forest trees
resembled giant ferns, reeds, and
mosses, rising to heights of 100 to
120 feet, and many feet in diame-
ter. Other trees looked much like
enormous ferns, climbing 50 feet
into the air.
Everything was green and lush
in this strange world. The giant
trees, ferns, grasses, insect life
and other creatures, died, fell into
the swamps and became part of
the sea life buried there. Heavy
rains washed soil and sand from
high places into the swampy low-
lands. Land gradually sank. The
great inland seas advanced and
covered up these peat-like bogs,
keeping out air and bacteria thal
cause decay. Again conditions on
the earth changed. The land was
raised up and once more forests
grew, flourished, and died. Again
the land sank and the seas ad-
vanced.
This process continued over and
over through untold thousands of
y e a r s. The sunshine, whose
warmth and magic made these
forests, was buried with the vege-
tation. Slowly the forests piled up
one atop of the other, the peat
layers began changing into some-
thing we now call lignite, and the
enormous deposits of dead leaves,
branches, trunks, insect life, and
sea life were transformed slowly
into coal and other minerals.
The quality of legume and grass
silage can be improved by letting
the green material partially wilt
before putting it into the silo, and
by adding 60 pounds of molasses,
or 150 pounds of ground shelled
corn, or 200 pounds of ground ear
corn to each ton as the silo is
filled.

HADACOL BRINGS REAL RELIEF
HADACOL Helps Folks Who Suffer Weak, Run-
Down Conditions, Nervousness, Sleeplessness
Caused by an Upset Stomach and Poor Appe-
tite, If Due to Deficiencies of Vitamins
B1, B2, Niacin and Iron
In these days of the fast pace of
life, with folks always hurrying,
you simply have to feel well to keep
going. And if you are weak and
tired, nervous, have no appetite,
don't sleep well and feel run-down,
life can be mighty unpleasant. Mrs.
Martha Herren of "13-C N. Chevy
Chase Drive, Glendale, California,
used to feel that way. But she
heard how many folks who suffered
these conditions when due to a
deficiency of Vitamins Bz, B2, Nia-
cin and Iron were being helped by
today's great HADACOL. She be-
gan taking HADACOL and now

her own words, about HADACOL:
"For a time I had been run-down,
was just simply tired all the time.
I was nervous, couldn't sleep well
and didn't have an appetite at all.
I would just pick at my food. 1
started taking H D?.COL, as I had
heard so much about it. In just a
couple of weeks I could certainly
tell a difference. My appetite picked
up---I was actually hungry at meal
times. 1 was no longer as nervous
and tired. 1 simply can't say enough
for HADACOL. I am still taking it,
and believe me, 1 will always have
it on hand. I know how much it has
really helped me, and slncely,
HADACOL is wonderful."
Yes, HADACOL makes it possi-
ble to actually relieve the REAL
CAUSE of weak, run-down condi-
tions, poor appetite, nervousness

ous complete relief but helps pre-
vent these conditions from return-
