Walker's victory upset the predic- ton of the writer that a member of the younger school would be open champion again this year. But Walker is not exaetly an old stager «t " this game, as he has developed his own game only within the last five year: He showed promise in 1913 whe he made a fine showing in the British open at Hoy Lake. jince coming to this country, how- aver, W ker has developed more rapidly th he did on the other side.

When De Mar finished a number of enthusiastic Boy Scouts might have been observed on the side line testing the strength of their juvenile lungs with the cry of: “Ray for the.troop- master. He's all right.” Another group of youngsters, who, upon examination, might have béen found to be in posses sion of those religious cards given to youngsters as a_reward for steady at- tendance at Sunday school were veiling : “Ray for teacher. He's all right.” Is Sunday School Teacher. All this was true because this De Mar, a printer by trade and a record- breaking runner by vocation, is also tie troopmaster of the largest troop of Boy Scouts in Melrose, Mass, and the teacher of the largest Sunday school class in_the same New England village. A new respect for religion and the oathi of the Boy Scouts is born in the heart of a youngster when his leader happens to be one who has achieved brilliantly in the world of sport De Mar is certain to be our main re- liance in the marathon, with his stiffest test coming from Hannes Kohlemainen, the great Finnish runner. whose record De Mar kicked into the discard with his tireless and speedy feet. He is one of the most interesting of all the Olympiz candidates, for he is @n_absolute in- dividualist in sport, relying on form that |s all of his own invention and relying absolutely on his own judzment in the matter of training. Except for his legs De Mar is al- most frail in appearance. His chest doesn’t seem to contain the lungs one would expect in a runner capable of lasting over the marathon but this De T person gets unsuccessful during the past week looked for rock fish. It would seem that these fish hav not yet reached the -swift wate around Chain Bridge—at least no re- ports have come in from that place except to say that some of the larger rock have been seen breaking water. Thoe present week should be a good for the anglers. Not only are tho rock biting. but some large perch weighing a pound or more are being caught opposite the flour mill in Georgetown. A-few large mouth bass have been caught in the little river and their cousins, the crappie, are reported to be on a one rampage.

Monday and Tuesday were bad da Wednesday high winds prevented fishing, but on Thursday they landed forty trout. Their total catch for the outing was sixty-five trout and over 200 hardheads, hog fish and kine fish. Zimmerman says the trout fishing is about over but that the channe: vass are giving anglers plenty of sport The chaangl bass come in near shore at this time of the vear and can be caught in the surf the same &s the well known king fish.

Thi vorite fishing ground for many 'local anglers should attract many this week, because there is a new moon which always affects fishing. It may be that the big ones will be oul in deep water, owing to the northwest winds, but they will be somewhe around. A southeast or southwest wind will is possible to catch them in two or three feet of water from the board- walk. Rock Point is furnishing excellent sport. and many £ood catches are re- ported. The same applies to all the other salt water fishing spots. their One of the last acts of the adjourn- ing Congress was {o pass the bill to establish’ the upper Mississippi River wild life and fish refuge. This bill calls for ay appfopriation of $1,500,000 to purchast 300 miles of bottom lands along the upper Mississippi Rtiver and to be used as & breeding place for migratory birds, other wild birds, game animals, fur-bearing animals and a breeding place for fish and other aquatic animal life. The pur- chase is to be made by the Secretary of Agriculture. Credit for the passage of this measure must be given to the Isaak Walton League of America, led by Will H. Dilg. whose efforts were un- tiring to have this legislation en- acted into law. Neither time nor ex- pense have been spared, and today Dilg is perhaps one of ihe happiest men in the city of Washington, be- cauge he was right here when it came up in the House and has followed it from the beginning to the end. e F MRS, GRAVES VICTOR.

BY SAMUEL HARDY. EW tennis players realize the way to success. Even stars who hate reached the final round of our national singles in early vouth have failed to scale the heights because -of their inability to note the path to be followed, or their unwillingness to give the time to the neccs- sary work. Yet cvery star of future tennis, like the present outstanding player, Tilden, has to follow correct methods or fail It was six years ago that Tilden depended entirely on his chop. H soon_recognized, however, that if he was to get far, he would have to develop a sound forchand drive. Hec worked until he got it. The result proved to him that practice could master any stroke. But when Tilden set abofit the task of developing a forehand drive, he lost many a match in consequence, that his old chop would have won for him. Frequent following such'a defeat, he would cheerfully say: “Wasn't that going)| better today?” "ien %o MID-CITY NET TEAM ADVANCES IN LEAGUE wealk- in the backhand when they started, yet they now score aces with this shot It all came about because of their willingness to perfect tuem- | selves in a weakn knowing the | need of it if they were ever to go racketers advanoed in tho Tennis League last turning in five victories ir matche other le oing a bit fur, Vincent Richards always was lack- Summarics Mrs. J.
