The District law relating to the catching of bass says that the bass season opens June 1, but this was amended, or the heads of the Police Department, knowing- that thousands of anglers wished to i take advantage of the two-day holiday period permitted them to start the season Sunday instead of waiting until tomorrow. This opening of the season to bass fishing app’ies only to waters within the District of Columbia.

There is an old saying among fishermen that when the locust trees are in bloom the rpck are sure to be around, and it is almost time for these trees to send forth their fragrant odors from the bloom! Individual catches the past week were quite satisfactory to those who braved the chilling winds that swept the long pier at Chesapeake Beach. While the cool weather has been no great deterrent to the enthusiastic fishermen who visit this favorite rish- ing grounds, it must be admitted that the northwest wind is just as potent a factor ever in driving the hard heads away from the shore shallows into the deeper waters.

There are two big runs of trout at this place, on» in the Spring afd the other in the Fall. Tha Spring run is now on and is drawing anglers 1rom an sections o, try. No one goes to this wonderful fishing ground and returns without a big catch of fine trout and other fish. From Washington to Wachapreague by motor—and it is only by motor that the piace can be reached—is a distance of about 177 ifles. Those desiring to make this trip will find the following instructions helpful. The first leg of the trip is to Annap- olis, where the ferry is taken to Clal- bourne. From Claibourne to Salis- hury is a distance of 64 miles over a | concrete road through a flat country. | From Salisbury to Wachapreague the discance 18 71 miles. On this last stretch of road there is a short de- tour of several miles below Beaver Dam, but the detour is made on & good dirt road. Upon reaching Wachapreague the angler will find good hotel accommio- dations at $4 a day, which includes a prepared lunch by the hotel manage- ment for the anglers to take with them aboard boat. The charge for the boat 1= $5 for the first head and $2 for each additional person. There- | fore a party of four in a boat would | cost $11._or each person would be taxed § which includes bait fur- hed by the boatman. The bait need at this place is squid. which is brought in fresh each morning, by the fishing boats. Another bait unfamil- iar to the writer is called mosa bun- | ker. The channal bass are fished for on the incoming tide and the trout on the outgoing tide. | | The following Washingtonians vis- ited Wachapreague recent!. Ollie Atlas, Charles M.

In using the irons the player should make it a fixed rule never to grip the shaft at theé extreme end of the leather. Another good point about grasping the irons is this: As the shot to be made becomes shorter, let the hands take hold more and more down on the leather, until for the short chip or run-up the grip is so far down the leather that it is almost to the wood. If this prac- tice is followed the player will find it much easier tc keep the body out of the swing, particular- Iy body swaying. For iron shots you stand well over the ball-—not so close as to crowd it, but just short of that—and during the swing there should be very little back-and-forth action with the body. The iron head is heavier, too, 80 you should try to find the place on the leather that will give the clubhead a nice pendulum feel. (Copyright. 1926.)

ANDREWS, May 31.—Winning of the British amateur golfing S championship by an American at- Muirfield proved to be not the only tradition that went overboard on the final day of that great event. After due felicitations for Jesse Sweetser, the new champion, the American party, including the Walker Cup members, W. C. Fownes, jr., president of the United States Golf Association, and others, assembled in the lounge and proceeded to wake the echoes among the Lammermoor hills with strains of close harmony and some not so close.

Finally & member of the club asked the writer: “Would you mind asking them to sing ‘Drunk Last Night Again?

They did look sort of shocked, but they stood their ground nobly as the good old Ameri- can songs came roaring out and the great cup of the British champion- ship stood rearby on a table, while Jesse Sweetser sat talking quietly to friends and admirers who came to salute him, looking very happy and but respectfully quict. they applauded SBweetser and gave him three rousing American style cheers when he won on the thirteenth green. The captain of the Honorable Company asked the gallery of 5,000 if they were downhearted, and the answer was a cordially roared “No." Never was there a more cordial acquiescence in a great sporting de- feat, and now they let us sing in their clubhouse that never had been sung in before. The American visitors love the Honorable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, and the winner has justified the opinion of critics on our side that Jesse Sweetser is the greatest match player in our amateur ranke.
