Baltimore's colors flaunted above Washington’s last night at the con- clusion of the duckpin match between the Capital City Stars and the King Pins of the Marvland metropolis.

The Baltimoreans registered only a total of 2,618 for the evening, yet the Washington bunch was unable to pick up much ground. It bowled for a game average of 535.1, nothing very brilliant for a team of star duckpinners Wolstenholme Washington, and Zeiler of Baltimore, were the out- standing _bowlers of the block of games. The former made a set of 561 e hest the evening, "desnite a first game of 89, while Zeller amassed 558 pins for Baltimore. Rneller of the visitors negotiated the high game of the block with lll.\'; initial effort of 138. So poor was the bowling that 12 in- | dividual games below the 100-mark were recorded. Four of these were rolled by Washingtonians, Work, turning them in. Kraus of Baltimore, bowled the smallest score, 81.

TENPEN TEAM INTERCITY WINNER BALTIMOR January 10.—Tenpin fans of this city had their chance to cheer tonight, even though the five representing this city lost its match to the Washington team. In the sec- ond group of five games, the locals managed to tie the crack rollers from Washington, both teams toppling 435 pins. Since the visitors came here with an advantage of 326 pins gained in the first five games, rolled in Wash- ington last week, they are victors in the match. Capt. Graham of the locals is stanch in his declaration that the lo- cals are equals of the Capital pinmen, nd declares the reason the match in Washington gave the District pinmen so great an advantage was that the slippery alleys there made good roll- ing on the part of his team impossi- Dble.

In Fig. 1 is shown the segmont of the forward swing in which the clubhead gets its most pronounced throw, though this foeling of throw. ing the clubhead extends through the entire down swing. maximum velocity, however, and therefore the maximum throw, in the shaded portion of the downward arc as pictured D. This is It attains its As the clubhead is brought down- ward to the ball, move your body for- ward, through the hips, in unison with the action of the club. Let the left side of your body move straight out into the direction line. Then, as the clubhead nears the ball, give it a distinct, hard throw with the hands. This is commonly called “wrist ac- tlon” It is properly called hand- actlon—the wrists have nothing to do with This throw with~the hands makes the clubhead “catch up,” 50 to speak. You can instinctively bring the clubhead in there for good timing when you get the knack of throwing it. When you twist your body around to the left, in the down swing, as shown in Fig. 3, you cause the club- head to cut across the ball.

Clean sweeps were recorded by the four leading teams, while Goodfel- lows took the odd game from Regu- lars-and climbed up one notch there- by. ‘The best individual effort was that of Percy Ellett of Stanford Paper Co., his games of 129, 148 and 111 account- ing for a 388 set and spelling defeat for Terminal Ice. In this set, Nick Chaconas and Earl Lewis had a battle between themselves, emerging with honors even with sets of 350 each. Curb Cafe malntained its six-game lead by taking Mount Pleasants into camp after the latter team had worked its way up among the leaders. The first was won, 588 to 580, the second, 524 to 523, and in the final the leaders totaled 617, falling shy by 3 pins of the league record for the season.

U Many Are at Fault. Some anglers have gained the im- pression that this movement is aimed at the rod and reel fishermen; that they are the ones who are depleting the upper river .of small-mouth bass. That is erroneous. Of course, some of the rod and reel anglers are not content with a small number and are willing to take home with them all the bass they catch, irrespective of size, but fortunately they are far in the minorit This movement is started, first of all, to have a closed season of three yeas in order to restock the stream and allow the fish to mature and be unmolested during the spawning sea- sons.’ Then an effort will be made to stamp out the following evils: Taking of more than 10 bass i any one day's fishing; catching of any bass that does not measure 10 inches; the use of out lines, which include any use of itve balt to catch bass; netting, gig- ing and traps. . One letter says “If you want to do something real big, stop the tannery at Williamsport from dumping refuse into the river.” The refuse, it claims, covers the whole stream with tannic acid, which not only is harmful to the bass, but affects the eyes of fisher- men, causing them to become sore and swollen, Another letter says that one of the chief causes of the defletion of small- mouth bass is that no one ever sees a game warden anywhere along the upper Potomac to enforce the laws already in effect, and so it goes. A few of the most interesting let- ters concerning this movement are printed herewith fo show the different ideas and different violations of ex- isting laws. .

T have seen in the markets both large and small mouth bass six, seven and eight inches in length, not only a few of them, but hundreds of pounds of such fish. That is the real trouble, the commercial fishermen with his nets, not the an- gler with his rod and reel. “When fishing in the creeks of the lower Potomac today ome only sees nets and more nets; in fact, it is quite a trick to drift while casting and keep out, of them, they are so thick and placed so as to cover all the fish- ing grounds. “Now, Mr. Editor, Mr. Angler and Mr. Everybody who enjoys a day's fishing now and then, let's every one of us get up in arms to fight for the enactment of a ‘sale and interstate shipment’ law, so that we can have some more of the good old fishing days that we used to enjoy. not so many years ago. “Hoping for the best of success in the very near future, I am very truly yours, “F. H, NEITZEY.” Take Away Small Fish. “Reading your article in The Sunday Star of January 4, as an ardent an- gler for small-mouth bass, I am cer- tainly glad you have started an agl- tation for a closed season for small- mouth bass in the upper Potomac, also for restocking same. If the offer of G. C. Leach of the Bureau of Fish- erles Is not taken advantage of by the three States mentioned in your article, it will be nothing less than a crime. “I have seen quite a number of so- called fishermen in the neighborhood of Seneca Rapids, and Goose Creek sectlons carrying away small bass that did not average one-half pound apiece. It is so seldom you find any more three or four pounders that it is really a loss of time and pleasure to 80 to these places any more. “A heavy fine with a workhouse sentence should be levied on any one selling this species of fish at any time, and also for those who take the small pan size from the water and carry them away. “In reference to the big-mouth bass, there certainly should be some law with teeth in it that will keep the seine and trap-net fishermen from using the varlous creeks tributary to the Potomac. Of course, this spe- cles fs a food fish, not necessarily a game fish, but it should be protected on its spawning grounds. The seine and trap nets might be permitted in the Potomac River proper, but abso- lutely prohibited in the creek where they could grow to full ma- turity. 4For instance, to my knowledge, in 1923, one man owned 27 traps and seines in and near Piscataway Creek, running from shore to shore in the creek, excepting a very narrow chan- nel. This creek used‘to furnish ex- cellent sport, and large fish were not the exception. In the Fall of 1924 I made 16 trips to this place and never saw a fish over one and one-half pounds caught on hook and line. Across the river, in Little Hunting Creek, the same conditions prevail. Also in Naniemoy and Accotink. Hoping you also will take this mat- ter up, and assuring you that all anglers of Prince Georges County will thank you, I am, “G.

Since early Fall, Coach Elmer Zear- foss has had his men at work on the concrete courts at Montrose Park, and but for the recent snowstorm would have ordered practice during the holidays. As soon as the slush has disap- peared he expects to get busy again and have his squad of 30 netmen going through their paces in prepara- tien for the Spring tournaments. For a team of six men, Coach Zear- foss has four regulars from last sea- son and a quantity of new material to plck from. Besides Fred Doyle, captain-elect, and Fred Dodge, win- ner of Tech’s Fall tourney, Detweiler and Bailey are seasoned players, and are practically sure of places on the first-string combination. Two others will be picked from the squad. Tech hopes to schedule Baltimore Polytechnic Institute for its first match.

TENNIS-WRITER RULE - STILL HURTS TILDEN By the Associated Press. While the United States Tennis Asso- ciation will not act until next month at its annual meeting on the newly framed amateur rule, including its player-writer features, the effect of the new proposal on the playing ac- tivities of William T. Tilden, national champion and most prominent player- writer, already has aroused consider- able discussion. Tilden himself discussed the ques- tion In a syndicated article. but when asked by the Associated Press for a statement of his position, he de- clared: “I do not wish to be quoted on the player-writer question or its effect upon my status this year until after the new amateur rule proposal has been acted upon by the United States Lawn Tennis Association. As a mat- ter of fact, my plans are indefinite, but it is obvious that 1 cannot out- line my position until the new rule is effective.” Friends of Tilden, however, pointed out that his newspaper contract, which calls for him to provide storfes daily on the outstanding title events in which he takes part, would con- fiict sharply with the feature of the new player-writer rule which forbids a player to write “for pay or for a consideration current newspaper ar- ticles covering a tournament or match in which he is entered as a competitor. Tilden signed the report of the spe- cial committee which drafted this as fvell as other provisions of the pro- posed new amateur rule recently ap- proved by the executive body of the United States Lawn Tennis Associa- tion, but his friends hold that he did so with the thought that it was the best solution of the player-writer problem, regardless of his personal situation. ———— Evander G.

Another writer's view regarding the closed season : “T read your articles in The Star De- cember 28 and January 4. “I do not believe a three-year closed season on small-mouth bass will help matters any. 1 think every one will agree with me that where a river is a dividing line In three States it is im- possible to have a closed season, as it cannot be watched. You know the Poto- mac is a long river, and I am sure any game warden will agree with me that the Potomac will be a hard river to close and watch. “I have been fishing in the Upper Potomac for 10 vears from Georgetown to Cumberland, and I have never yet seen a game, warden. It is impossible for them to be all over the river. I go every Sunday, holiday and on my annual two-week vacation, and I always get at least one bass. 1t T do not I am satis- fled, because T Jove to be on the water. If you will take the time, T am sure you will find out. that it has been a long Wwhile since any bass have been put in the Upper Potomac. T mean from Lit- tle Falls to Great Falls, and from Great Falls to Seneca. Now, how do the fisher- men of Washington expect to catch any bass if they never put any in the river. “What Is the use of closing the bass season for three years to give the fish hogs the time of their lives? On the-other hand, to close the season for three years and then never put any more bass in the Potomac for ten years would put affairs back to just where they are today. ‘Another thing that the fishermen of Washington need is a good club- house, one on the Upper Potomac, and not one in an office building. We need a fishermen’s clubhouse on the river, where the angler may o to sit around and talk to his friends and make other friends and every year see that bass are put in the Po- tomac. If this is done vou will see the best fishing ever. Other States do it and they don’t have a three-year closed season either. “I know a place on the Potomac, only 7 miles from Washington and a beautiful place, too, where they can put bass in the river each year for three years, and then there would be no need for a closed season. “Hoping there are some good red- blooded fishermen left in Washington that will agree with this article and that ou will see the point that I am wetting at, and thanking you for your STARS PLANNING INVASION OF ENGLAND NEXT SPRING Dorothy Campbell Hurd, Present American Cham- pion; Glenna Collett, Mary Browne and Others Tuning Up for Expedition. BY RAY MCcCARTHY. EW YORK, January 10—American woman goliers arc preparing to make the preliminary gestures that will lead up to a concerted invasion of England next Spring by a strong team of United States woman stars.

Golfers all over the world have long and eagerly anticipated a duel featuring Joyee Wethered, the British girl wizard, and Miss Collett, the finest woman golfer in this country. Both are youngsters and both are exponents of the modern school of hard hitting. This writer would favor Miss Col- lett in a match with Miss Wethered. Glenna hits a tremendous ball from the tee. And the Providence girl is deadly when close to the greens and on the greens. The only weak link in Glenna's golt is her iron pl though she can handle her iron r than the aver- age man golfer, s s not perfected this department of her game to chan; plonship standards. Hagen, the m ter of the mashie iron, should be able to give her valuable pointers during her stay in Florida. M Genoa . Salyador Santa Maris Columbi Pinta ... .. Christopher. Balboa .
