Televised Louis-Conn Contest In Theaters New Jacobs Plan By th» Associated Press SCHENECTADY, N. Y.. April 16 - Thousands of boxing fans will see Champion Joe Louis and Challenger Billy Conn battle it out for the heavyweight championship June 19 from “ringside seats” in movie the aters, simultaneously with Yankee Stadium spectators, if Promoter Mike Jacobs carries out his newest idea. The head of the Twentieth Cen tury Sporting Club witnessed a tele vised wrestling match here yesterday and promptly declared it "wouldn't surprise” him if plans to cast the Yankee Stadium bout onto screens in theaters and in Madison Square Garden were carried out. Uncle Mike and Madison Square Garden officials flew here yesterday for the television demonstration, which they witnessed in company with General Electric officials. The wrestlers put on their show in GE’s television station WRGB. The bout was cast onto a 12 by 15 foot screen in the Civic Playhouse. Jacobs didn't Indicate how far from New York City or in how many theaters the project would be prac ticable. Declaring he was pleased with the “clarity” of the Semonstration, Jacobs said in an interview: “It wouldn't surprise me if we could go through with our plans to have the Louis-Conn meeting tele vised on large screens.” Carrying through of Jacobs’ plan would mark another step forward in boxing’s pioneering prograss. A fight was recorded for the motion pictures as far back as March 17. 1897, when Bob Fitzsimmons tangled with Jim Corbett at Carson City, Nev.

Ave. N.W. —. 1 Outdoors It was “opening day" of the troul season in Maryland yesterday and to a real trout fisherman no day oi the year tugs more at heart, mind and soul. Somehow or other he must get out on a stream, if only for an hour or two. We went to the Catoctin range, near Thurmont, Md. where most of the nearby clan gathers. First port of call was Little Hunt ing Creek, this side of Thurmont. As we moved toward the head of the stream, where we knew native browns, brookies and rainbows were awaiting us, we noticed a hatch of stone files and a number' of white millers. So, bending a fan-wing royal coachman onto our leader, we essayed the first cast. No so‘ap, but we cast again and got the first fish. It was a nice brown of about 10 inches, which was handily played and landed. For us, the trout season was officially opened. We were not first on this, or any other stream, by a long shot. Plenty of boys, men and women were out by 5 aun., the legal opening hour. Fishermen and women from five neighboring States piled in on the streams during the day. Maj. Jack Litzleman drove all the way from South Dakota to be on hand for opening day. Jack Knight and his boy. Dick, were down from Williams port, Pa. Frank Bentz and Ham Brown came up from Baltimore. Joe Brooks, a really great fisherman and a grand sportsman, was giving casting lessons to a group of boys in their teens, and succeeded in catching the smallest fish we saw during the day—a 4-inch brookie from a pool which contained 2 pounders.

Stick bait, stone bait, white grubs, angle worms and dry flies, together with an assortment ot streamers and spin ners were all popular lures. But the boys were catching flsh and having fun. On Big Hunting Creek, where the limit is five fish per day and only flies and streamers are permitted, the crowd was surprisingly small for opening day. Fourteen-inch browns and hybrid rainbows were not un common. Beaver Creek was just a little too far for us to make in only one day. but several who had been there said the crowd was not too heavy and that some nice flsh were being taken. If you can’t make it to the afore mentioned streams, Rock Creek has been stocked above the bridge on the road between Norbeck and Rock ville and there are some nice trout in Mill Creek and Turkey Foot. We finished our day about 5:30 with seven nice browns, two brooks and two rainbows.
