Displaying command of a varied as- sortment of strokes and showing su- perior steadiness, Borotra smashed his way to victory in the singles, after losing the opening set to his Ameri- can rival. Borotra won by Keeping the lanky Anderson away from the net, where ih the first set the Amerfcan star had his opponent helpless with his hard, deep-court driving and Wolleying. « The first set was an outstanding iTAnderson triumph. Borotra could not {iget his service working with any de- Heree of accuracy ana was forced to jisacrifice pace to find the service lines. iBut as the match progressed he {iradually steadied and kept Anderson §/in the back court with his deep forcing {jshots. 1In the third set Borotra aced {ris ovponent five times and_scored elght placements.

WESTERN RACKETERS DOWN TECH NETMEN Western High School's tennis team, champion of scholastic Tanks in 1924, ‘made a good start for the 1925 title by defeating Tech, ¢ to 3, in the opening matches of the se; son yesterday at Columbia Country Club. Tech had the edge in the singles. winning three and losing two, but Western came from behind by tafk- ing both of the doubles. Mitchell of Western, junior cham- pion of the District, and Doyle, Tech's captain, gave the best exhibi- tions of the day. Mitchell prevailed when the points were most needed and won, 8—§, 6—4. ' The match between Lewis, the Western captain, and Detwiler was a thriller. Lewis took the first set, 6—2, and Detwiler .the second, §—8. The third went into extra games, first one and then the other leading, until Detwiler's height finally told, and he won, 9—7. Glazebrook took twe in succession from Kienast, each by the score of 6—1.

Leach, in charge of the division of fish culture, Bureau of Fisheries, who will have charge of the planting of the fish in the basin, will have a conference with Col. Sherrill to ascertaln what the Army Engineers think is necessary. Leach then will present a plan, outlined by Commissioner O'Malley of the Bureau of Fisheries, which, if acceptable, may re- sult in having the work done at a low figure. The Star has started the ball with $100. Subscriptions should be made to the cashier of The Star. It is suggested that subscriptions be put at $1. In this way a large number of anglers may con- tribute and feel that it was through their efforts that the project was made & possibility. But, of course, larger dona~ tions would not be turned down. Just as scon a6 the details have been completed the work will be started, which, it is hoped, will be within a week or 10 days. It is estential that the fish bo planted early this month to take ad- vantage of this.year's spawning. The value of this proposition cannot be overestimated, both from. the view- point of the sport that it will provide for. the anglers, and from the value of the fish caught for food purposes. With the planting of the fish contemplated, it is estimated that in a little aver two years fish ranging from 1'to 2 pounds will be plentiful in the basin. Leach says there should be over 500,000, and if ‘the present price per pound of bass, crapple and sunfish does not take a. de- clded tumble' the value in dollars and cents to anglers will-be considerable. It is hoped, however, that a bag limit will be set. Any angler should be con- tent with six or eight fish a day. This column also offers the sug- gestion that a small license fee be charged all anglers who fish in the Basin. A fee of §1 a year for this privilege would be nominal, but this. matter can be safely left to the park commission to decide. Another suggestion is that all fish- ing In the basin be done from the se: wall and that no one be allowed to fish from a boat. In this way only those fish that happen to be'in the grass or along the seawell will be caught, thereby conserving a large number of fish for propagation pur- Pposes. Also, if fishing is permitted only from the seawall, there will be a pre- mium on good casting. The man who can ¢ast the farthest will, in all prob- ability, catch the most fish. Again, this method of fishing. will insure good casting; do away with the side arm swing which ‘is dangerous to other anglers, and make for. over- h casting which s the correct Way. 5 X The matter is entirely up to the anglers of Washingwes and ¥t is hoped that thers will be a ready résponse. e HROUGHOUT the golf swing, T /1] P T VRN N LT TC I N TR T L1 la' back with the club and clear down to the point where the ball has been sent on its way with the club- head well through the ball, your hands must lead. the clubhead. ‘Even at the turning point from the top, where the down ‘movement of the club is initiated in the hips, the hands maintain their leading influence over the club. You have been told ofteén that you must feel the weight of the clubhead In the fingers. Translated, this means that your hands lead the clubhead, be- canse the instant the hands cease to lead it, the clubhead is gone—lost to your sense of touch. How the hands lead ,can best be understood if you will grasp the dif- ference between -hand action in the back-swing and wrist action. In Fig. 1, we see a golfer who has whipped his club back and up with a quick-acting left wrist motion. You can sge on golf scores every day, and the the fellow I have pictured here. Note in the dotted line how his clubhead, because of the quick-breaking left wrist, has ‘whipped to the top away ahead of his body. His body is still facing the ball and, In this position, his club should be no more than half way up, as shown in the shadow- graph of the club lined into his back swing.

HE project of converting the Tidal Basin into one of the best fish- ing grounds in the United States will be realized in a short time if the anglers of Washington individually and collectively contribute Col. Clarence O. Sherrill, director of public buildings and parks, has declared that after carefully going into the matter, he finds that there is no money available for the proposition, but also gave the cheering information that if the money was raised through public subscription The time is short, if the Bureau of Fisheries is to be allowed to plant the fish this Spring. The frewh water trout season In Maryland opened last Thursday and will continue until June 30. The only restriction concerns methods of catch- ing. The angler must be a sports- man and give the fish an even break by' using rod, hook and line. Nets ars absolutely forblddén. There is also ajlimit on the size. Any trout less than six inches long is considered too young to assoclate with the frying pan and must be returned to the water. The Maryland bass season this year opens July 2 and continues until No- vember 30. The minimum size limit on this class of fish is nine inches. Pike or pickerel are protected until they attain a growth of 14 inches. Swepsom KEarle, conservation com- misstoner of Maryland, declared in address at the sea food conference of the League,of Woman Voters here, that the drafnets with which thou- sands of poungs of fish of all kinds are caught for fertilizer should be prohibited. He sajd shad are pre- vented from spawning by nets placed in the Virginia waters of 'Chesapeake Bay and the lower Potomac and must spawn In the upper waters on the Maryland side. On his recommenda- tion a resolution w: adopted re- questing the Virginia Legislature to compel fishermen to 1ift their nets 36 h?mn each week. . Announcenicnt has been made by the New Jersey Fish and Game Com- mission that it will be unlawful for any resident of Pennsylvania or any other State which prohibits fishing on Sunday to fish in New’Jersey on that day. Tidal waters and the Dela- ware River are rot governed by the rule, as @ license to fish In those waters is not required. . The Detrolt Newns in a Tecent issue printed a- very g00d paragraph un- der the head of “George Says:.When the time comes that sportsmen greet other sportsmen in from stream or field with a what-kind-of-a-time? in- stead of how-many-did-you-get? we'll ‘be on our way to something better. During the past Winter residents of several lakes in Michigan have re- ported that many fish have died through suffocation. The opinlon Beems to prevail that prohibiting fishing through the ice on these lakes has brought this about. Formerly fishermen by cutting holes through the ice to ply their sport would admit oxygen to the waters. The Potomac River again is clear and in splendid condition for the ngler. Reports state that perch have from the ball with the left wrist pro- motes an action of the clubhead away from the ball that is too fast for the beginning of the back swing. Observe Fig. 2, which shows how the clubhead is broken back quickly with the left wrist. Fig. 3 {s a tracing of Fig. 2, except that the clubhead, in Fig. 3 is shown in {ts correct position for this segment of the back swing. The instant the left wrist breaks |- the clubhead back gquickly from the ball In the back swing the hands cease to lead—your wrist and fore- arm are then doing the leading. The wrist and forearman muscles are not sensitive enough to feel the weight of the clubhead. Your hand muscles are. Suppose you were to throw a stone. Would you draw the stone back with a quick breaking back of your right wrist? Certainly not. The same prin- ciple applies with the golf club. Let the hands lead it slowly away from the ball—then keep the clubRead in your bands all the way. RECORD LIST LIKELY FOR DUCKPIiN EVENT Entries are coming steadily in for the second annual tournament of the Capital City Bowling Association to open at King Pin, No. 1, bowling alleys, Fourteenth and Monroe streets, April 20, From present indications the tourna- ment will have the largest entry list of any ever held in the city. Last year 32 duckpin leagues of the city contributed a total of 129 teams. This year it {s conservatively estimated that there will be representation from approximately 50 leagues, with 150 or more teams competing. Entries are to close at midnight of Saturday, April 11, and entry blanks are obtalnable at any bowling estab- lishment in the city. The official scorers of the varfous leagues are requested to furnish averages compiled to include April 4 and these may be addressed to Chalmers F. Groff, secretary, care King Pin, No. 1, bowling alleys, 3330 Fourteenth street. In addition to the usual cash prizes to the winners of events in each class, arrangements have been made to award the following special prizes: Sllver cups to the winners of all events in each class; gold medals to each man on the winning team in doubles, each class; a simllar medal to the winner in singles in each class, and a set of bowling balls to the winning team {n each class. J Class subdivisions have been estab lished as follows: For class A teams, 515 or over; class A, doubles, 206 or over, and class A singles, 103 or over; for class B teams, 480 to 514, inelu- sive: class B doubles, 192 to 205, in- clusive, and class B singles, 96 to 102, inclusive; for class C teams, less than 480; class C doubles, less than 192, and class C singles, less than 95 average. The alleys upon which the tourna- ment will be held are in the finest possible condition and it is freely pre- dicted that the record-breaking marks hung up last year will be surpassed by even higher scores before the schedule is brought to a conclusion.

A. alleys Thurs- day night, he turned in games of 165, 135 and 120 for the splendid total of 421, tying the individual high set mark previously established by Max Rosenberg of Curb Cafe on February 5 on the same alleys, When the latter rolied 166, 146 and 109. Shipley's set was similar to that of Rosenberg in two ether respects in hat he started with the same score for the first game and marked {n the final box of the third game. He struck in the tenth box of the last game and counted seven pins on the strike. picking the middle pin of a “bread line” with his second ball. Rosenbers spared at the same stage of his set. counted two on the mark and this was just enough to win for his team. Each man made five strikes In the set, but Shipley's strikes were more profitable, “as they put him in the league leadership in that respect. Altogether it was a most profitable evening for the Mount Pleasants’ cap- tain, as they won all three from Y. M. C. A, in addition to which Paul came up on almost eveff terms with {Pete Metrakos for high man on his team, and he appears likely to pull down the prizes for high game and high set on his team. The battle for second place in the final standings goes merrily on, Meyer Davis maintaining the runner-up po- sition by a single game, a defeat by Terminal Ice Co. slghtly cutting down the lead of the former. Stan- ford Paper Co. again won three, this time from Cornell's Lunch, all being taken by wide margins. King Pins also made a clean sweey of its set, Regulars being unable to take a game despite a 154 effort by Hank Balley. Total pinfall at the end of the sea son two weeks hence is lkely te play an important part in deciding second, third and fourth positions. Goodfellows pulled the unexpected in taking the leaders into camp, two games going to the former. The first ‘was won after a roll-off, each having a 5684 score, the second was won by the champions and Goodfellows cap- tured the final with 559, Officer Wein- berg and Pappy Pratt were high for the victors with sets of 358 and 336, respectively. Rosenberg was best for Curb Cafe, his set of 358 keeping him in the van for high individual aver- age, as Reds Megaw totaled 370 for his weekly effort. Percy Ellett is very much to be reckoned with in awarding the prize for highest average strikes. The an. chor man for Stanford Paper Co. h: made nine of those marks in his last three sets anrd now has-a total of 3§ strikes for 66 games. Shipley has taken part In 72 games while Pratt of Goodfellows and Frank Miller of Curb Cafe have each beem in 72 con- tests. Ellett has been denied a num- ber of strikes under the scoring rules, he having on a number of occasions struck after marking {n the final box of a game, once making a triple header strike in the tenth box. Joe Toomey of Curb Cafe has been responsible for a number of records during, his bowling career, but last ‘ednesday created one for the Dis- rict League which will be hard to match dnd which has left him talking to himself. He made four spares in a game, counted two pins on each spare and finished with a' score of 96. Mount Pleassnt Amity Eastern Salem . Federal Golden Rul Harmony Fred D. Stuart. Brighe Friendship ..

HILE outwardly everything may be rosy and serenc as the local reparations for the crowded Spri about Washington, it becomes creasingly apparent as greens and golf committees cast their eyes over the impressive entry lists of the past brace of seas a rift in the lute of goodfellowship. In a few words, it's a great thing to give a golf tou ns t} ment and i vite the world and his son to play, open up your golf course to show world you have one to be proud of, your golf committee has upward of but it's quite another ma 250 or 300 entrants w crowd into two days of qualifying, with resultant congestio with unfortunates who fall down int getting up at the unearthly hour of 6 o' silver mug. All of which is by \\'3{ for the golf tournaments about W crowded. With the situation well outlined by experiences of past years and a posi- tive certainty that every succeeding year will find more and more golfers wanting to play in the invitation| events about the Capital, greens and golf committee chairmen are spend- ing many unpleasant hours trying to figure out & way to show thelr guests | that they appreciate their desire to play in the tournaments, but at the same time keep the entry list down to a reasonable figure, And there's the rub. Every chair- man is proud of his course and the hospitality of his club. He wants every visitor he can crowd on the| course to enjoy himself. But when a man who otherwise wouldn't get up until 8 o'clock, finds himself down in the last flight and has to rise in| the wee hours to play in the sixth sixteen, it isn't so pleasant.
