Some time during the next two months the new clubhouse will be completed, bringing to realization another hope that Bannockburn mem- bers have long cherished. The house will double the space of the old structure. Work on the course is now confined the tenth, eleventh =nd twelfth where greens have already been constructed. Al that now remzins to be done is clearing and sowing of the falrways to bring the course up to one of standard length, affording a variety of shots to any player, and especially calling for accurate iron shots all through the layout. Chairman_ Moise and committee have put in vears of hard work on the burn course and deserve great credit for the work they have completed, with the supervision of the club pro- fessional, Liorel G. Walker. Proceeding with the extensive hunk- ering program laid down in August and only partly finished before its tournament in October, the Congres sional Country Club is holding plans for its second 18-hole course in abey ance for the time being. The plan for n 36-hole golf layout has not been abandoned, but the club, according to one of the members of the golf com- mittee, has decided to concentrate on the pr nt layout, improve it and trap it thoroughly and let the second 18-hole project rest for a while. The club owns scores of acres of land east of the clubhouse, on which it Is proposed to construct the new 18-hole luyout, running toward the Burning Tree Club, whose clubhouse can be en from the twelfth hole at Congressional. to hole: his greens months and Bannock- First and second match play rounds in the Manor Club champlonship, post- poned from last Sunday because of bad weather, are to be played today. A. L. Houghton, former star public Jinks amateur, now a member of the Manor Club, is the outstanding player in the tournament. Karl McAleer, also a former public links player, won the club title last vear. He is not de- fending his championship this vear. That the Chevy Chase Club will re- main in its present location for some years to come seems assured by an- nouncement by President Britton that the club_contemplates spending up- ward of $150,000 on improvements in the buildings and grounds immediately around the clubhouse. A swimming pool and bath house, a mnew tennis house, an addition to the bungalow and improved locker and bath facili- ties for both men and women mem- bers are proposed in a letter to mem- bers, on which the club membership ‘will vote December 1, when the annual meeting is held. For the past five years rumors have been going the rounds that Chevy Chase was to move; that its present property is too valuable to keep and that encroachments of building opera- tions on the grounds have made the ation undesirable. More than two ago the club voted down a pro- 1 to purchase a considerable acre- age off Wisconsin avenue beyond Bethesda. Since that time the rumors have recurred. The improvements outlined by President Britton would appear to put a stop to further recur- rence of the reports that Chevy Chase is to move. Only within the past two years an extensive bunkering program has been carried through on the golf course, in- volving cxpenditure of thousands of dollars. Other improvements have fol- lowed until it seems certain that Chevy Chase is to stay in its present location for a long time to come. Fred McLeod, professional and greenkeeper at Columbia, is proceed- ing with reconstruction of the four- teenth and eighteenth greens, both of which involve considerable work. LIVE WIRE QUINTET STARTS WEDNESDAY Members of the Live Wire basket ball five plan to open their sixth sea- son on Wednesday night with some team yet to be selected. The Live Wires will go after 145-pound honors. Dinty Koons and Joe Gooch, for- wards; Les Stull, center; Sally Han- back and Bus Freed, guards, form the regular five. Tommy Jones, a guard, and Blaine Thomas, a forward, com- plete the squad. G Manager John Knapp is arranging the team’s schedule and is planning for several extensive trips. Teams wishing to book games should call Lincoln 6241. Peerless Junior basketers haye or- ganized for their second campaign in 130-pound ranks. Last season they ran up a string of 18 victorles in 22 chances. The squad includes Capt. Dozier, Wiles, Baker, Carbll, Ready, Kendig, Scanlon, Gleason, Dixon and Langyher. Players will receive their suits tomorrow night. Teams desir- ing games may communicate with Manager Verts at Lincoln 5137-W.

The Golden Rule quint was considerably off form, rolled its usual steady game. Ohm and Tucker performed in good style for the winners. Cordell, captain of the losing team, rolled the best set of this match with 319. Covenant failed to put a team on the runways and was forced to for- feit to Columblia, this being the first | forfeit set of the season. Brightwood advanced to second po- sition in the standing of teams by virtue of a three-game victory over Central. Lucas of the winners, with a total of 300, was the only man on either team to reach that mark, the rolling on both sides being well under the_standard. : Friendship managed to emerge vic- torlous in one of its games with the fast-traveling Mount Pleasant boys, totaling 525 in their last game to win by 12 pins. Hornig of Mount Pleas- ant turned in 324 for the best set, closely followed by the Groff brothers, his teammates, with 321 each. The Johnson brothers contributed the best bowling for Friendship. After starting with a 530 game, Amity fell down badly in the next two, losing both to Harmony. The latter team rolled exceedingly well, with Patton and Avery carrying the burden. Ward totaled 312 for Amity, The hardest fought battle of the week occurred when Eastern faced Fred D. Stuart. The scores were very close, with Eastern being on the win- ning end twice. Lund of Eastern turned in a 130 game and set of 322 for individual honors in this contest. TYPOTHETAE LEAGUE. 3 r National Capitol Press Wheeler Jones . R. P. Andrew Judd & Detweiller ..

Cyril was a lad at Manchester, in England, when Sayers was in his prime, and one day caddied for the well known T. G. Renouf In a match against the diminutive Sayers. It ‘wus a bitterly contested battle, Renouf giving Ben such a tussle that he had to call upon headwork to reinforce rsteal skill in the climb toward vie- tory. | On one hole a psychological maneu- {ver by Little Ben gave him what proved to be the winning edge, and, incidentally, registered in Cyril Walk- egies he ever saw on the links. ‘Were in Match Play. “Renouf and Sayers were playing a {round in a match-play open tourna- ment,” says Cyril, “the scene of the | tournament being the Trafford Park urse, near Manchester. | “Renouf had the advantage in that he was professional at Trafford Park |and knew the course from A to Z. this d becpuse a wind was almost 2 small gale wi ng, interfering with almost ever. vaiuve | th | blow |p on s end, however, it was the n the sayers who used this wind to | erafty s his_sdvantage. *laying the ninth hole, which has a length of about 400 vards, Renouf and Sayers got off good drives, but Ben's had a little more length than Renouf’s, so that the latter had to make the first play to the green. “Now bear this in mind: In the wind, the second shot called for a mid-iron play—no more, no less. er-Jones, Standard Engraving Co. won two out of three from Washington Monotype Co., National Publishing Co. won three from Packwood Printing Co. and R.

The defeats were scarcely a disgrace for the losers since the So. Kems put on the floor a |line-up averaging 524, probably the best ever representing a team in the | Interbureau League, and then pro- ceeded to boost this average by count- iing 537, 637 and 566 for a set total of 1,640. Capt. McKericher of the So- Kems was the star of the match, put- ting over his best set of the season, 376. The evening was somewhat spoiled for Joe, however, when he learned that Stork, rolling with Ac- counts, on an_adjoininig alley, had totaled 382 for his set, while the Prop- erty team compiled a set total of 1,647 in taking all three games from the Solicitors. Myers, with 353, had the best set- of the Property-Solicitors match. In spite of the stellar performance of Capt. Stork, his Accounts team dropped two of the three games to | Plant Bureau. Ferrall, with a set of 1351, was the best bowler for Plant, but Lindstrom of the same team proved the real nemesis of the Accounts out- fit, coming through with much-needed spares in the finai boxes of both the games won by his team. Interbureaus meved into a tle for fifth place by taking two of the three games from Public Roads. The match was featured by the individual per- formance of Ready at anchor for the Interbureaus. He picked up 17 pins in his ninth and tenth boxes of the first game to win for his team by a margin of 512 to 501, and repeated in the sec- ond game by counting 9 on a spare in the tenth box to put over a 494-to-490 victory for the Interbureaus. On _the whole, the evening furnished the best individual bowling in the league's history. Stork’s 382 set was the outstanding feature. Next to this was McKericher's total of 376. The latter also contributed the best single game of the evening, 146. _Myers, Gowan and Ferrall all passed the 360 mark in set totals. Ordinarily, one set over 350 is the rule for the evening's bowling; five sets beyond this mark is decidedly unusual in “closed” league performances. Another league record was set when 14 of the 24 games rolled passed the 500 mark. 70 {7 LADIES' LEAGUE. Standing of Teams. Won. Lost.

Without hesitation he named the veteran crack Beu Sayers, who is well known in this country to the older generation of enthusiasts, since he came over some years ago to compete in our national open. “However, the foxy Ben, walking over to a spot where he was almost in front of Renouf, studied the dis. tance a moment, then shouted to his caddi ““Give me my spoon.’ Fooled Renouf, “This wasn't his shot at all, but the fact was that Sayers had no more intention ‘of playing a spoon shot than he had of using his putter. Iiis | words were merely for Renouf's bene- fit. ““The latter was impressed. He had a lot of respect for Savers' judgment. Still, he couldn’t quite accept & spoon as the solution of a 176-yard s, even in such a wind as was then ng. evertheless he was unsettled mentally. Before Ben had spoken he already had taken out the correct club for the play. Now he concluded he couldn't reach’ the green with a midiron and he replaced it in_ his bag. Instead, he employed his driv- {ing iron. A trap stretched across the front of the green aided the decision. “‘I'm going over the green,' he said to me, ‘but Savers is going to use a spoon—maybe he's right.’ “He played, and at once illustrated the foolishress of letting an opponent | play His ball went over the green a mile, landing in deep rough at the back. “It was the margin between vie. tory and defeat.

NEWS AND GOSSIP ABOUT BOWLERS came through in the final. Aided by the good work of Marle Frere and Jennie Malcolm, they copped the third by a 21-pin margin, toppling the pins for the exceptional count of 501. By making a clean sweep in their match with Bethany, the Beeques moved up a notch, while the Com- mercials in dropping two games to the Hilltoppers slipped back into fifth posi- tion. Capt. Bronson Quaites of the Beeques added a few pins to her aver- age with a nice three-game total of 304, while Catherine Quigley contrib- uted high game with a count of 109.

ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER. O in turn made the waters of Chesape: out in a small boat scemed to happen on week ends, th men arrange their excursions and s other duties. Chesapeake Bay is full of rockfish, both large and small, but the days that have been suitable for atte: and far between. Even those days its glory have been mar & bay and making it a: inclined to seasickness. There still is a little time left for fishing for rock in the Chesapeake and many of its tributaries. There is no doubt about the fish beiug present in the waters of the bay, and, 4f con- ditions are right, there is no doubt about the angler catching some of them. Unless all signs fall, we are bound to have some good days before the ad- vent of real Winter. 1 believe the old apglers will tell you that Indian Summer is usually looked for around November 6—those pleasant warm duys just preceding Winter. these days huve not made their aj pearance, and it may be that we wiil | miss them this season, but if they do appear, then will be the time to go to some place on the bay, engage a boat and troll for these game fish. For those anglers who have finished with their rod and reel for this season, | it is suggested that they place their rods in a medium cool place, as sub- jecting them to heat may cause shrinkage or loosen the metal mount- ings. How long your line will last depends upon the care you give it. A line should be strung out and carefully dried after each fishing trip. Never allow the line to dry on the reel. It ent individuals have held the leader- | is also well Lo reverse your line occa- sfonally, thus evening up the wea This would be a good thing to_do be- fore putting it away for the Winter months, testing the line by breaking off six or eights inches from the end to ascertain if it is sound or has rot- ted during the Summer months. Your reel is an important factor in successful fishing. It is essential to give it an occaslonal cleaning, and be- fore placing it away it should be cleaned with an oiled cloth. Rust is the angler’s enemy—avoid it. The economic loss to the country from forest fires Is enormous, and it was brought sharply to the attention of the country in a recent statement of the United States Forest Service. according to this statement, nearly 92,000 fires swept over 29,000,- causing a money loss of $38,000,000, exclusive of damage to young trees, watersheds, wild life and recreation. The season was exceptionally bad in some States, and the loss was nearly double a nine-year average. Col. W. B. Greeley, United States chief forester, appeals for help in pro- moting public sentiment to cope with this terribly destructive scourge. Fed- eral and State Governments are powerless to meet the situation with their inadequate funds and equipment. It is one of the most important prob- lems of forest and wild life conserv: tion, and cannot be solved until the American people awake from their lethargy and demand adequate pro- tection. Aslide from the financial losses from burned timber, the actual destruction to game life, directly and indirectly, is enormous. Sportsmen cannot fail to lend all possible aid to forest fire promotion campalgns in every State, and most forest fires are preventable. Every angler on an outing when building a fire should first clear a place for his fire by scraping away all dead leaves and other inflammable material, and, most important of all, be sure that the fire is put out before he leaves.

Land owners will recelve prizes for every bevy of quail found in the course of the trials.

In a city of the size of Wash- |ington it should stand 1,000 strons, and it is hoped that many of the local anglers will help swell its membership. The cost of membership for the y is only $4. The Star fishing fund still is in | existence and still is about $460 short of the desired amount. I was asked | the e the matter {with the shington angle they have not contributed the de- | sircd amount?” and 1 was compelled | | “I do not know. I have tried to analyze the situa- tion and find some reason Tor the failure on the part of the anglers to contribute this $1,000. At first I blamed myself, thinking perhaps 1 had not presented it in the proper way, but with stories on the first page of the paper, on the editorial and sports pages, I cannot see how the matter could have been presented in any other way readers of The Star would surely learn about it on one page or the other. This project has passed the dream stage; it now is a reality. Relying on my promise that the Washington would contribute $1.000 of the §2,000 needed to build the fish racks and place the same in position at the inlet and outlet gates of the Basin, Col. Sherrill went ahead with the work and the racks now are com- pleted. Commissioner O'Malley of the Bureau of Fisheries intends to have them installed when the ice melts in the early Spring. After these racks are in place, under the supervision of the Bureau of Fish eries, the basin will be seined and all fish classed as undesirables by the bureau will be removed, and then the planting of both large and small bass, crappies, sunfish and rock bass will be commenced. Both Commissioner 0'Malley Mr. Leach of the Bureau of Fishel are most enthusiastic over the project and already are looking to the time | when they can commence planting the fish. "As a matter of fact, they have started the ball rolling to col- lect the fish, plant next Spring. Both of these men say there is no better place in the whole United States for the breed- ing of fish than the Tidal Basin. It will not only supply a long-felt want of anglers of Washington—an {deal | fishing pond—but will be the means of restocking the Potomac River in the vicinity of the city, as it is the | intention of the bureau to allow a certain number of these fish to escape into the Potomac each year. | When this is done the Georgetow Channel, the Little River and the Eastern Branch of the Potomac will become well stocked with fish and the angler will reap his reward. Surely this_is alluring enough to cause a sufficient number of anglers | to dig down in their pockets and con- tribute 50 cents or §1 to close this account. Remember, all that is now needed is $460. Col. Sherrill has done his part by allowing the use of the basin | for this purpose. He has more than done his part, because he secured from the Joint Welfare Service a contribution of $1,000 toward this W YORK, November 14—The sensational athletic perforn on land and water in this country during the past ycar will come up for official testing when applications for 266 record performances are considered by the Amateur Athletic Union at its annual convention Due chiefly to the stimulating influence of Paavo.
