Two of these, however, Norris Williams and Francis Hunter, surely would have made the grade had they taken part in enough American tourneys to have justified a rating. Williams and Hunter, both of whom figured, along with Richards, in bringing the Olympic laurels home from Paris, did not play much after their return Williams suffered a torn ligament during the competition in France and never fully recovered during the season, while Hunter was kept away from the game on account of business reasor Williams and Hunter were ranked at Nos. 3 and 5, respectively, in 1923 Carl Fischer. the youthful Philadel- | rence as to the remainder of the lead- phian, and Bob K were the others | ing 20 was the placing at thirteenth to drop from the t 10, cher/| of Helen Jacobs, the California who was at No. 7 last year, did not | maiden who won the national girls play in sufficient events to be con-|title.

I ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER- HERE is a rift in the clouds that have been hanging over the pro- posed closed season for small-mouth bass in the upper Potomac River. When it was found that the Maryland legislature did not meet again 1927, wverything became dark and a solution for the proposition seemed hopeless, but now the darkness is gradually being dis- pelled by a ray of sunshine, which came about in the following manner. After calling upon the governor of Maryland for help and being in- formed that he was without power to aid in the movement, it was sug- gested that the tter be brought to the attention of Swepson Earle, con- servation commissioner of Maryland. Last week a representative of this column called on Mr. Earle and he suggested that Mr. O'Malley of the United States Fish Commission call a meeting of the conservation com- missioners of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia in this city to see just what could be done in the matter. .

Attention has been called to an “evil” existing in the Anacostia River, which should be corrected. The complainant a rod and reel angler, but admits that he commercializes his efforts, that it Is a source of income for him, as well as others. He says that the fish are rp, and that dough is used for balt, d that no other fish except the catfish, will take this particular kind of bait He says, that occasionally a bass will strike when he is hauling in bhis line, but that the abuse to the bas in the Anacostia River is, that thou- sands of bass, nearly all below the legal limit in weight and size, may be seen breaking water for food in the warm watee from the power plant would | gree- |are one |seek warmth and protection as well of | as had |t matter | board and injured in handling them. { the !

He says “they are here by the thousands,” and adds, “1f Sunday should prove a Bright and warm day, bring out your and notebook and discover the present chance to propagate. . We fish together here, but I believe the legal and sane way.” For this writer's information, I want to say that the big thing at present is to get a closed season on yourself when this is accomplished the lesser eVils will be taken up one by one and posed of, if possible.

A can make it, and there is no other SK almost any tournament golfer what shot in goli is the most important shot of all and the chances are he will tell you it is the run-up approach. Here is a shot that saves a stroke when the player shot in golf that will do that con- sistently. Put your run-up dead to the cup and you save a putt. The difficult thing to master in the| run-up fs its stmplicity. Most golfers | do one or beth of two things—they try to watch the ball and the cup at the same time: or, if they center thelr | gaze on the ball, they turn the body | to' the right in the back stroke In- stead of keeping the club face to a straight line. In Flg. 1 is shown the correct stance for this shot. We are now to run up a ball that is, say, 15 yards off the edge of the green. The wide- open stance is used, which brings the heels fairly close together. Note that the ball rests at Point 10-E. The clubhead in the back swing is to be | taken back from this point on a direct straight line, as if It were to be shoved straight back to the figure 9 | alongside the chart. The welght| shifts over to the right leg, but the| body does not pivot or turn to the | Fight at all. Keep the arms close to | the sides.

Don- aldson, anchor man for Amity, rolled Salem applied a coat of whitewash to the Brightwood quint. No high scores were made in this match, Driv- er's 314 set being the best rolled. Campbell of Golden Rule continued his good rolling, turning in a set of 370, with hls team making a clean | sweep of their contest with the leading | Eastern team.

McCarty's 325 set furnishing the necessary kick to give his team the edge in a match highly spleed with enthusiasm. Another such match is ex- pected next Tuesday when the Reds stack up against the Giants, over whom they hold a one-game advantage. Farlee's Dodgers eprung a surprise when they took the measure of the “luckless” Pirates in all three games, Furmage's consistent pin-spilling great- 1y alding the victors, Although trimming the Giants on total pins, the Yanks could only account for one win, and dropped into last place, one game back of the Pirates. Shorty Bowman's 123 game, which he started with a double-header strike, and Dave Burrow's game of 128 featured this match. The league now has six bowlers shoot- ing well over the century mark: Whit- ford, McCarty, Roberts, Eilett, Baur and Hendley, in the order named.

This tops the former record made by Billle's team a few weeks ago by six pins. . This brilliant performance was made possible Dby the splendid bowling of Marjorle Bradt and Lorraine Gulll, ace of the feminine bowlers. ~Miss Bradt contributed a count of 132, while Miss Gulli slipped in a nifty game of 125. Any time these two sterling bowlers get going together records are apt to get a joit. Commercials also made a strong bid for high team set, but fell just 18 pins shy of the mark set by the Mount Pleasants this season. ' Their games were 491, 458 and 535, a set total of 1,484, Buddies rolled three neat games, hav- ing. counts of 466, 465 and 488, good enough to win nine out of ten games most_any time in any women's league. Mount Pleasants grabbed all three games from Post Office Department, but only after the latter quint rolled them to a tie In the first game, due to Laura Compton’s neat count of 116, which ap- parently put the game on ice for the P. O. D. girls, until Gladys Lowd made a spare in the ninth fragne and then topped it with a strike in the tenth, which proved to be the one needed to tic up_the game, Mount Pleasants won lightly on the hips throughout this stroke is good practice. In Fig. 2 the correct position at the top of the back swing is shown. Note that the wrists have not broken the clubhead back. The wrists maintain their fixed address position throughout. The eutire action is more with the hips than anything else. The dotted line in Fig. 2 indi- cates the incorrect path of the club- head when the body is permitted to turn or pivot in the back swing. Observe In Fig. 3 how the clubhead is kept low to the ground on the follow-through. Note also that the club face still is at right angles to the line of flight at the finish of this sttoke. Always make it a point to keep the club face closed throughout this stroke. By closed 1 mean keep the club face at right angles to the line of flight at all times, just as you see the club face in Fig. 1.

A triple tie for the leadership would have resulted had Megaw and Wolstenholme been able to turn in sets of 363 and 342, respectively. Stanford Paper Co. took all three from the Y. M. C. A. on the alleys of the latter, and hung up a new league season record for high team game with 623, which bested by three pins the former mark of 620 made by Mount Pleasants, and it is interesting to note that the latter figure was also made on the Y. M. C. A. alleys. In this set of 623, Farl McPhllomy of the Papermen turned in games of 122, 131 and 139 for a set of 392, which is the second high- est ind!vidual set for the present season. Scores of a high caliber wers regis- tered in the match between Meyer Dayvis and King Pins, the former taking the 0odd game and contributing by a set of 1,73 the second highest team set for the current yedr in the league. Team totals of the winners were 552, 581 and 604, the latter being made against a game of 576 by King Pins. The latter team recently lost a game to Good- tellows after Enocking down 579 pins. Happy Burtner of Meyer Davis was in splendid form, his consistent scores of 116, 126 and 125 giving him a set of 367. Curb Cafe took all three from Termina.

The second half will be rolled in the home town a week later. The regular bowling order for the Curb outfit is Friend, Morgan, Toomey, Miller and Rosenberg, with Ellett and Simmons as reserve strength, but on a Baltimore alley, with half a thousand excited fans howling for their own team, the youngsters may not go- 50 well and the two more-experienced maple splitters are expected to be called on to perform from the start. The return match between the Capi- tal City Stars and the Baltimoreans takes place on March-7 and 14, theé first half to be rolled in Washington. Buck Earle, Eddle Rommel, Andy Zeller, Burt Kneller and Ollle Ruark took home the bacon on their last trip to the District, but John Evans, who is managing the local crowd, will pick his men for the coming competition with an eye to evening up the score. Bd Rommel, whe ranks with the best of the Marylanders, is expected to be in Connle Mack's training camp long be- fore March 17, and can cause no fur- ther damage “to District bowlers. Rosenberg, Wolstenholme, Work, Campbell, Burtner, Toomey, McPhilo- my and Megaw are on the list to defend Washington against the coming invasion. Duckpin Tollers will compete this week in the second annual singles tournament that opens on the Coli- seum alleys, beginning tomorrow night. Baltimore s sending 45 roll- ers, including the King Pin five that recently has been offering some tough opposition to Washington's best. Martinsburg, W.

L OOKING forward to the golf tournament season of 1925, it appears from any angle the golfer views it that Spring again will be a real busy time for the players who during the Winter cherish ambitio: for annexing trophies in the various t Here is the way the tournament outcome of the Middle Atlantic and based on the usual dates accorded the Washington Golf and Country Cl Golf Club, May 14, 15 and 16; Baltimore Countr: Chevy Chase Club, May 28, 29 and 30; Columbia 11, 12 and 13. clan, Town and Country was not alto- gether satisfied with its date last Fall and indications then were, and still are, that if the Wisconsin ave- nue club holds a tournament this year it will ask for a Spring date. Con- gressional is hesitating over whether to hold & Spring affair. If these two | are added to the hectio round of| tournaments promised fer the Spring the golfer who intends to take them all in may as well give up his busi- ness By way of explanation it may be said that the Washingten Golf and Country Club always has inaugurated | the Spring season here, usually ask- ing and getting the first week end in May for the opening affair. Before | that the weather {s not of the best, experience has proved. Chevy Chase | usually holds its event two weeks | after the Washington tourmey, but | Baltimore already has announced May | 21, 22 and 23 as Its dates, leaving Chevy Chase either the week before or the week after Baltimore. Columbia’s Time Is Ydeal. Columbla, probably selecting the | time of year when Washington's golf oourses are at their very best, picks a time during the first half of June. Its tourney will come about June 10 this year, for the national open champlonship will be held June 3 and 4 at Worcester, and Columbia ordi- narily defers its tournament until after the open. And then after the local tourneys are over (for the Bal- timore tourney is viewed as a local affair) along will come the individual champlonship of the Middle Atlantic Golf Association, to be held at the | Maryland Country Club. The date for this, probably the third week in June, will be decided at the annual meeting of the Middle Atlantlo Assoclation the first Satur- day {n Maroh, at which time the tournament schedule for the Spring will be tentatively outlined, to be ratified at the District Golf Associa- tion meeting the following Monday right. /ashington golfing clans are mar- shaling in the South.

Harry McCarthy, Al Work, Nick Chacona: T. Schuman, A.

FLOWERS TO KEEP BUSY BEFORE BERLENBACH GO By the Associated Press. Tiger Flowers; Atlanta negro middleweight, who fell before Jack Delaney of Bridgeport, Conn., in two rounds last week, expects to appear in at least 10 bouts before facing Paul Berlenbach of Astoria, Long Island, on February 26. He will start this extraordinary training when he faces Tommy Rob- son in Boston on January 26.

E. C. Gott and O. J. DeMol of Columbia are the latest Washing ton golfers to go from the Inclement weather. They left the city two day ago to join J. Th! Hugh MaoKenzie and E. B. Eynon, at Augusta. George P. James of ¢ lumbia makes frequent tri the Winter to the South.

I know good players, however, who tell me that they et the clubhead get down to within a foot or so of the ball when they stiffen arms, wris shoulders and legs and crash into the ail. This stiffening method is 0. K for some players, though you want to know exactly what yom are doing when you try it. The bodily rigidity must come at just the right time.
