Plans for L inks D. C. GOLF ASSOCIATION IS TO MEET TOMORROW Middle Atlantic Body Also to Gather This Week. Indian Spring Is Slated to Open Tourney. Campaign for Washington Clubs. L While the date for only one tourna- ment—the individual _championship of the association—will be decided Saturday at the Middle Atlantic meet- ing, the schedule makers who gather ac the Racquet Club for the District meeting will settle the dates of more than a_half dozen events. The Middle Atlantic titular event goes to the Washington Golf and Country Club this year, and, although the place of the District champion- ship has not been decided, It is gen- erally understood Columbia will make u bid for it. A tentative schedule drawn up at an executive committee meeting of the District association last Monday calls for Indian Spring to open the tourna- ment season late in April, with the other events to follow through May and June. The Middle Atlantic, under plans fald down by Dr. J. T. McClenahan, who is scheduled to be president of that association, would be held the last week in May and the Spring sea- son locally would close with the Co- lumbia_tourney, the second week In June. Two events are Fall fixtures. the tourneys of the Congressional Country Club and the Bannockburn Club, while Town and Country may want a late date. The tentative schedule, as drawn up for submission tomorrow night, does away with the steady succession of tournaments lasting for eight weeks in past season and provides breathing :ADERS in golf in the District of Columbia and surrounding States will meet this week to lay out a schedule for the various tourna- ments and discuss other matters in connection with administration. The annual meeting of the District of Columbia Golf Association has been set for tomorrow night at the Racquet Club. The Middle Atlantic Golf Association will meet on Saturday night at the New Willard Hotel. spaces wherein the golfers who fol- Jow the tournament rounds may be!process of rehabllitation. away from serious competition for at least two weeks during May. The declsion of the Washington Golt and Country Club, to dispense with its Spring event this year has aided the schedule makers In one instance. The other hinges on whether Town and Country wants a Spring or Fall date. The new club at Fredericksburg, Va., whose course was laid out by Dr, . ‘W. Brown of Bannockburn, is seeking a professional. Mel Shorey, formerly of the Manor Club and now located at West Potomac Park, is one of the applicants for the post. Joe Ryan, green keeper at the Town and Country Club for several years, and the man credited with the fast development of the greens at the course on Wisconsin avenue, will leave tomsrrow to take a job at a Pennsyl- vanla course. Ryan worked with his brother Tom, who is now at Belle- haven, near Alexandria, in developing the Town and Country Club layout. East Potomac Park, closed since January 31, will reopen on Saturday, March 13, the management has an- nounced. This is two days earlier than previously announced, made pos- sible through quick completion of the work. The fairways at Rock Creek Park are being widened, trees and brush cut out and the locker room {is in process of improvement. he entire plant at Rock Creek is undérgoing a CLEAN LIVING GAVE HIM VICTORY, SAYS FLOWERS By the Assoclated Press.

A seven- man team will go to the Mounmental City in an attempt to add another victory to the 7-to-0 win scored over the Baltimoreans on the Racquet Club courts several weeks ago. EMMONS IN WINNER IN GUN CLUB MATCH George Emmons and Dr. Monroe led the scatter gun artists of Washington Gun Club in smashing the clay tar- gets from the 16-yard mark yesterday in the weekly shoot at Benning range. Each broke 45 in 50, Emmons getting the trophy on the toss. Maj. Smith and W. Constantine each scored 40 breaks in the handicap event. The former won out in a 12- bird “shoot-off. The second of a serles of contests for a yearly prize was held, with Blun- don winning in two events. He took the first with a score of 23, but was tied by Constantine, Morgan and Stine in the second. He won out in the shoot-off. Doubles honors went to L. L. Lane, who smashed 36 in 50.

Flooded with offers to defend his title and with moving picture oppor- tunities, the conquoror of Harry Greb said he would return next week to his home town, Brunswick, Ga. He will leave here Tuesday. He then will re- turn to New York to take the leading role an actor in a fllm story of his life, “The Fighting Deacon,” before sailing for Europe in March. Will Be No Dodging. Walk Miller, the new champion’s manager, today reiterated his state- ment that Flowers would defend his title in three months hence under Tex Rickard’s promotion against “the lead- ing middleweight challenger. “We have already told Harry Greb we will give him a chance to win back the crown,” sald Miller, “and if it is deeided he is the leading challenger we will be glad to box him again. There will be other men considered, however. Dave Shade of California and Mickey Walker, the welterwelght champlon, will be counted in the run- ning. Both would make great fights against the Tiger. The bout will be staged in May, probably in an outdoor arena.” No telegram of congratulation re- ceived by the first American negro to win a world crown since the days of Jack Johnson pleased Flowers more than a message from J. L. Andrews, mayor of Brunswick, Ga. “We con. gratulate you on your victory and wish you continued Success,” the mes s, who rose to the middle- welght pinnacle after an unusual se- ries of experiences, today credited his success to observance of careful train- ing rules and strong reliance on reli- gion. He says he makes a practice of reading three verses of the New Testa- ment from the Bible dally, and that he not only prays before each ring con. test but calls upon scriptural lines to strengthen his courage while under fire in the ‘ring. “Every round of the fight Jast night 1 repeated to myself a part of the 144th Psalm, ‘Blessed be the Lord, my strength, which teacheth my hands to war and my fingers to fight,' " said Flowers, who is a steward in the But- ler Colored Methodist Church of At- lanta. Parents Oppose Boxing. The son of parents who never be- came reconciled to his choice of-a ring career, Theodore Flowers was born on August 15, 1895, in Camile, Ga.

Accounts five slipped back into first place by throwing a wrench into the machinery of the Solicitors’ winning streak and taking all three games, with Stork and Terwisse doing most of the shelling for the winners. Allen was the only Solicitor bowler who could get started. As a matter of fact, the Solicitors team was so over- awed by the appearance of John Pin- spiller Evans, champion feather- weight bowler of the Masonic League, in the Accounts’ line-up, that it dropped all three games before it re- alized that John was not having one of his good evenings—not by any manner of means. Although Capt. Nelson had his Property choir boys in good voice, they were completely drowned out by the Economic _chorus after the first act, with 445" Dixon singing deep bass.

Plant Bureau upset the dope by taking all three games from the Pub- lic Roads bowlers. The entire line- up collaborated in the victories, marks in the tenth box by Ferrall and Goll putting the first game on ice; Lind- strom added a 110 count to Goll's 117 to put over the second win; and the sweep was completed when Rose, anchor man for Plant, totaled 134 for his final effort. Nairn and Owens were the outstanding shooters for Roads, though Bill Whelan shared in the spotlight by showing up for the third game and spilling 123. Frank joll, incidentally, is becoming one of the most effective pinch shooters in the league.

The latter team, however, was forced to use a dummy score and allow a handicap of nine pins, the handicap being responsible for the loss of one game.

Both counts were just a little short of the league records. Catherine Quigley.was the outstand- ing performer, shooting all three games over the century mark for a 322 set. She regained the point she lost last week and brought her aver- age back to 100. Pauline Thomas registered a neat set of 314, with high game of 120, while her teammate Gladys Bywaters was in evidence with a set of 305, helped by a 115 game. Margaret Boston of ‘the Climbers | contributed one of the most effective bits of bowling for the season, when she pulled a couple of double-headers rolling against the Commercials. Getting a spare in the ninth frame of the first game she topped off with a strike in the tenth frame, and du- plicated this in the seventh and eighth frames of the last game. These achievements were mainly respons- ible for the Climbers' triumph in two out of three starts. Bethany ran its string of victories to a total of five at the expense of the Daughters of Isabella.

Efforts to have the bill introduced in the Senate have been successful, and in all probability Senator Watson of Indiana will present it as soon g8 be returns from a trip to the West. Naturally, every effort is being made to have this bill become a law before this year’s spawning season, bécause it will mean a saving of thousands of bass. Every female bass caught in the nets and offered for sale from now until the time of the closed sea- son, April 1, means that the waters will be deprived of just so .much spawn. ‘Therefore every one interested in fish or fishing should do everything in his power to have the Dbill enacted into law. Owing to the absence from the city of Commissioner Henry O’Malley of the United States Bureau of Fisheries, this column was gnable to ascertain the time of the placing of the fish racks in the Tidal-Basin. According to a report from Maj. Grant's office, it was stated that they had been notified by the bureau to put the racks in place on March 1, which would means that tomorrow is the day. Before leaving town Commissioner O'Malley sent the following letter to this column: “In connection with your efforts to provide fishing in the Tidal Basin, it seems to me that certaln considera- tions merit attention. In the first place, I know of no large municipal- ity that has undertaken to provide by cultural means in an artificial body of water adjacent to populated areas (l.e., within the city environs proper and developed), fishing for its inhabi- tants. Such an attempt must be con- sidered in the nature of an experi- ment. It will therefore be a most in- teresting experiment to determine the rossibilities of building up and con- trolling the productiveness of a water area of some 120 acres to a point where it will provide reasonably good fishing for the people of Washington. "Involved in this procedure are the vossibilities of encouraging the growth of an adequate vegetation for a suffl- clent food supply for its fish inhabi- tants; provision for the necessary numbers of fishes of small size to serve as food for predaceous flshes, if such are introduced, that they may produce the maximum growth; provi- sion for islands and plants such as the American lotus and the yellow water lily, which shall provide hiding places such as these fishes are accustomed to In their native haunts, etc. “Consideration must also be given to proper restrictions on the taking of fish, so as to provide the maximum enjoyment to the greatest number and 520 game. Lottie shot high game of the match with 119, and an even 300 for the set. Marjorie Bradt had the best three-game string, getitng 302 with the help of a 110-count in her second effort. Marle Frere of the Washingtons picked up on. her average with a 301 set, while her teammate, Pennie Malcolm rolled a consistent three- game string of 289, with high game of 110. Margaret Miltner of the Commer- cials got the wood very consistently in her final effort, turning in the neat count of 104 with the aid of one spare. COMMERCIAL LEAGUE. Team Standinge. w.

Con- sideration should also be given to means of providing an annual stock of fishes as replacement for those caught during the flshing season. ‘“The subject. of water farming— aquiculture—is now recelving greater attention than ever before, and this Is certainly a phase of water farming. “If ity productiveness can be devel- oped to a high degree, it should be possible to raise an annual crop of from 6,000 to 10,000 pounds of fish per annum, and the catching of this quan- tity of fish each year shonld provide a considerable measure of enjoyment and health and sport for the people of Washington. “It raust be considered in the nature of ‘an experiment, and one in which the Bureau of Fisheries will be pleased to participate in an effort to develop its possibilities for the guidance of other communities interested in like enterprises.” The season for catching the big cat- fish in the Potomac around Washing- ton now is at hand. Several weeks ago this column announced that as soon as the river was free from ice and the current swift from melting ice and snow in the upper river re- gion the big catfish would commence to_strike. During the past week the largest catfish caught weighed 32% pounds and was landed by Frank Hutton. Adolph Frelitz and his son Fred- erick, fishing between the Aqueduct and Chain Bridges, landed a great many of these fish, the largest being 1113 pounds landed by the son, and a six-pounder was the largest landed by his father. A great mauy of the smaller ones, averaging one and one- half pounds, were returned to the water. . Former Detective Harry Evans of the headquarters force told of a big strike he heard of last week, in which the catfish actually dragged the boat a little distance before he was finally landed. A report from Solomons Island states that big white perch are being caught in the nets at that place. Such being the case, the flshermen of Washington can look for the first run of these game little fish in this vicinity about March 15. aged to make only one mark during the evening, a spare in the fourth box of his first game, on which he counted two pins.

The margin separating the three ranking teams —Collegiates, American Legion and Comets—narrowed to four games this week when Chillum staged a big up- set by handing the league-leading Collegians two defeats in three games, American Legion pointing the way to Mount Rainier in two games and Comets furnishing the week’s feature by taking five of six games in the special Washington's Birthday matches, three from De Molay and two from Chillum.

This bill, supported by the Byrd ad- ministration, is almost certain to pass. Anglers of that State as well as those of the District of Columbia and Maryland hope that the services of M. D. Hart, secretary of the present commission, will be retained. He has been the efficient secretary of the com- mission for the last 10 years. The sound judgment and common sense that has guided all his actions in mat- ters pertaining to game and fish laws make him a hard man to duplicate. The many years he has devoted to fact that he is a natural born sports- man give him qualifications that pe- culiarly fit him as a leader in con- servation matters. Wallace Motor Co.
