B —— ROD AND STREAM BY PERRY MILLER T HE time is now near for the followers of Izaak Walton, who have had their fishing tackle packed away for the Winter months to look it over preparatory to the beginning of the Spring fishing season. Of course, it is a bit early, but before another month has rolled around the fish will have started on their Spring mission, and despite the many | miles of nets placed in the lower river to prevent their advance, many thousands of them will rcach the swift waters of the Potomac River around Chain Bridge to lay their spawn. At the present time the only - fish being caught in the Potomac are the catfish. This is the season of the year for these fish, especially the big mem- 3 gl Some “big have been caught, the largest reported welghing 3215 pounds. These fish, at least the big ones, strike best on chicken entrails. A medium_size hook is all that is re- quired, because the catfish, especially the Mississippi species, has not a very large mouth. Other baits used are the den worm, bloodworm, a mixture of dough, and, although it has never been tried by the writer, it is said that a sponge bait is very attractive. This is prepared by placing bits of sponge about the size of a cube of sugar in a jar. A jar with a large opening is to be preferred because of the ease in taking bait from the con- tainer. Place In this jar dead min- nows or bits cut from a fish. The sponge abeorbs the ofl from the min- nows or fish and, when ready for use, should emit a strong odor. Channel catfish will bite at it eagerly, it is said. When channel catfish are biting well they strike viciously, tearing at the bait not unlike a terrier shaking a rat. As their mouths are tough, a fish hooked through either the upper or lower lip may be landed without much fear of the fish tearing loose. It is very difficult to remove a barbed hook caught in the throat. So it is better to try to hook the fish as soon as it strikes or a moment after it strikes and while it is making off with the bait. The ice which had covered the Basin for some time now is entirely melted, and the work of assembling the fish racks preparatory to transfer- ring them to there has begun. It is hoped that some time during the pres- ent week they will be ready to be put In position at the gates, where they will prevent the escape of bass and other game fish to be planted by the Bureau of Fisherfes. The next step in providing Wash- ington with the best fishing pond in the United States is to have the Basin seined. The man engaged by the Bu- reau of Fisheries is ready to start to work just as toon as given the word that the racks are in position. He sald that he has gone over his nets and that so far as he is concerned everything is in readiness. A “small deficit of about $350 still exists. During the past week $3 was received for this fund, contributed by Frank S. Bright, C. . Koss and D. F. Garrettson of the Treasury Depart- ment. Where is the rest of the money com- ing from and when? It seems that most every one has done his share toward making this project a reality except the fishermen of Washingtone these who will reap the benefits of this wonderful fishing area of some 120 acres, ideally situated, surrounded by beautiful drives and trees and res ing places. Washington wants every- thing the best that can be obtained, and in the stocking of the Basin with game fish, placing racks at the two Rates to prevent their escape, it will he a municipal fishing pond equaled by no other in the country. And yet at the present time it seems almost impossible to raise a small sum of $350 tc complete the undertaking. espite the apparent lack of inter- est on the part of the anglers of Washington, some of whom think nothing of spending anywhere from $20 to $30 for a week end fishing trip, this project is going to be complete With its completion will go into effect certain laws regulating the size and number of fish to be caught each day. Another feature of the good fish- ing In prospect in and around Wash- ington in the near future is the ex- pected passage in the House of Rep- resentatives on Wednesday of this week of the Hawes' bill to prohibit the interstate shipment and sale of black bass in the United States. Senator Watson introduced the same bill in the Senate yesterday. If the House passes the bill this week and the Senate disposes of it favorably by the end of the present month, the evils pertaining to the catching of these game fish will be a thing of the past, and then all anglers can enjoy their outings with the as- surance that they will return with their share of either the small or large mouth bass. TECH_HIGH RUNNERS SECOND AT VIRGINIA CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., March 6.—Tech High of Washington took second place in the high school divi- sion of the second annual invitation games held here tonight by the Uni- versity of Virginia. John Marshall High of Richmond placed first with 37 points, while Tech gained 16. Woodberry Forest led the prep schools with 37 2-3 points. The Washingtonians made a_clean sweep of the 440-yard run, Black- istone, Connor and Brattan finishing in order. The winner's time was 1 minute 1 second. Adams of Tech was second in the mile and third in the half, while Con- nor finished second in the 50-yard dash. Jimmy Michael, the wonderful Welsh bicycle racer of years ago, stood 5 feetyl inch and weighed less than 100 pounds. MORE TESTS, BIGGER LIST FOR OPEN GOLF TOURNEY By the Associated Press N ‘W YORK, March 6—Radical departures in the qualification plan for the national open golf tournament, under which provision is made for 17 sectional tests, and an increase in the championship field from 100 to 150 or more contestants were revealed today by the United States Golf Association. The first 30 players in the order cester, Mass., including ties, will be Scioto links, Columbus, Ohio, on Jul, to_qualify. Members of the United es Walker cup team, entries from forelgn countries and players who compete in the British championship also will be accepted without qualifying, the asso- clation announced. This plan marks a sweeping change ih the qualifying arrangement of 1925, which exempted only the playing through champion, Cyril Walker, from the preliminary test. The increase in the number of sectional qualifying tournaments from 3 to 17, indicated by favorable consideration of a rec- ommendatjon from the Professional Golfers' Assoclation two days ago, sur- passes the expectation of many ob- servers. These preliminary rounds, which will be held “throughout the United States” on Monday, June 14, at courses to be selected later, will qualify 120 players for the final at Seloto. The three sectional events last year were held in New York, Chicago and San Francisco. The 1925 qualification requirements, like those of the ama. teur title tournament, eliminated sev- pral favorites before the final at Norcester. Acceptance of the Worces- ter leaders as well as the leading amateur players without qualification, however. obviates the possibility of upsets this year, of finish in the 1925 event at Wor- admitted to the*title round at the y 8 9 and 10, without being obliged The first 30 in the championship last year, who become eligible auto- matically to compete at Scioto, are as follows: Willie Macfarlane, 1925 cham- pion; Bobby Jones, Atlanta, Ga.; Johnny Farrell, Mamaroneck, N.

That in a word, ex- presses up the sum total of his de- parture from golf's orthodoxy. And playing cross-handed, most golfers would say, would bar any man from ever attaining a high place in the game. Yet Bill has gone ahead con- founding the critics of style and per- sisting in his unorthodox methods and has developed a game on a par with most of the real top notchers around the city. We recall a certain Sam O. Dugger, city champlon of Chicago more than two decades ago, and a golfer of real merit, who won_ his title over a fine fleld even though playing cross-hand- ed. Even then we wondered how any man could gain power by striking with what the expert calls a pronated wrist. And here we see Bill Di Este doing exactly the same thing, getting great distance with his wooden clubs and playlng an all-around fine game. It goes to prove that all the golfing gold may not glitter and that the ad- herents of the orthodox are not neces- sarily the prophets whose laws may not be laughed at. BIll Di Este, like several of the first- class local golfers, learned his game on the course of the old Columbia Country Club, where such men as George Volgt, Cliff McKimmie, M. A. Shipley and many others laid their foundation. They now have an or- ganizatfon called the ‘‘Brightwood Club,” made up wholly of men who learned the game as boys on the old Columbia course. Of this aggregation Di Este is one of the shining lights. For many years DI Este did not play golf. The opening of the public links here saw him begin again the game he loved, and among other feats he carrled George Voigt to 20 holes in the District municipal champlon- ship of 1923. To {llustrate the length of his tee shots, let it be said that he won the driving contest for public Watts Gunn ' ship parks players in 1924. Di Este won the Argyle champlon- in_ 1924 and 1925, defeating George Gist in the final of last year's 2 EAST POTOMAC COURSE TO OPEN NEXT SATURDAY AST POTOMAC PARK golf course, closed since January 31, will re- open next Saturday, weather permitting, Manager Loeffler has an- The necessary work on the course has been completed and everything is now in readiness for the opening of what Loeffler be- municipal links ever has enjoyed.

Preparing for the Middle Atlantic championship the Washington Golf and Country Club has widened the fairway on the twelfth hole of the course by eliminating the rough at the left side of the fairway and run- ning it up to the woods on the west far as the out-of-bounds stakes. Trees have been cut at points on the course where there has been doubt as to their retention, while several other minor changes have been made in the course to get in the best possible shape for the championship.

CHAMPIONS | {mmnnnmrrnnnee Argyle—William P, Di Este: ROBABLY the most unorthodox in style of the small group of golfers around Washington who continually flirt with par, William P.
