The cfub now has| an option on the land proposed to be purchased at a figure in the neigh- hood of §300 an acre. Land surround- ing the Kendall estate is held for $730 an acre. A modern improved | road runs to and into the property, | which already has two houses on it, | one of which may be used temporarily as a clubhouse. The new project, if adopted, the re- port says, should be pianned and executed with all the foresight, enter- prise and prudence that have proved' used the ship, propert | change | expense.” to be essential to other modern busi- ness undertakings, declaring that “the convenient loeatign of our present golf course is a fortunate survival of day that is past. 1t declaved that it is prudent now to acquire an area large enough for two 18-hole golf courses and that “we should have land which for one ,x t least, is gently rolling in contour like our present course. 3olf courses the country over are constantly heing pushed farther out from the centers of membership resi- de and we are unable to discern ny special dispensation that makes the Chevy Chase Club an exception to_that rule." Looking into the future, the report savs that the need for two 18-hole courses “plunges us into a discussion of the ultimate fate of our present zolf_course.” “We may. limit our field of debate if we agree instantly that this ultimate fate does not involve a questioh of immediate disposition,” the report de- clar nor does it even suggest a in clubhouse, surrounding grounds, tennis courts, swimming | pool and other appurtenances, except golf.” Citing the need for courses, the report savs: zeneration of our golf players does ot like to climb mountains, and we think that their preferences in that respect should be fostered. On the other hand. the voung and vigorous members of our club are its greatest potential asset. Therefore. it has been our care to search out land that will give them a ‘sporty’ 18 holes.” Kendall Tract Described. A search with this in mind led the committee to the Kendall tract, six miles from the present club, which the report thus describes: “The own- er's holdings embrace about 1,100 acres, and we are offered as much or as little as we need and may select the land that we desire, barring, of course, that occupied by the manor house and its immediate grounds and the stables and appurtenances. “On the west side of the property an 1S-hole course may be developed that will ve substantially the same characteristics as our present course. Contiguous to this on the east side is an 18-hole ared, more diversified as to topography, lying on both sides of Cabin John Run. Only a smail por- tion is wooded, the fields have had excellent care, and it is evident that courses could be made at minimum two 18-hole | A paved roadway winds through the property fo the manor house, a dis- tance of about 5,000 feet and then turns out into open country. The historic structure of stone and brick now on the property “could be used temporarily for locker rooms and caddy house, but eventually it will be regarded as an interesting relic which :he club would take pride in preserv- ng." SEASON FOR ANGLERS PROVES DISAPPOINTING OMPARISONS are odious in ihe majority of cases and must be especially for anglers when they compare the 1926 and 19 shing seasons. Dur- ing the Fall of 1926, when the fishing season was at jts height, large catches of rockfish, trout and taylors or blue- fisih were being caught in Chesapeake Bay, returning anglers proudly dis- playing big catches of these fish, some of which being large numerically and also in the size of the fish landed. Anglers visiting Chesapeake Bay during the 1926 fishing scason reported that at times the waters of the bay seemed to be fairly alive with fish breaking water in their quest of f0od, following smaller fish to the surface and churning up the water for acre During the season just closed a wid Iy different story was told Anglers returned empty handed from the bay, not once but many times. Why? Two | reasons only can be assigned for their failur one is that the fish did not return in thelr usual numbers, and the other is that the purse netters cap- tured them in such large guantities that comparatively few were le ft for the rod and reel anglers. These purse netters worked all over | the bay during the 1 fiching season vastly increased numbers, follow- | schools of fish from one side of bay to the ot In the opinfon Jers it is only a question of time he game fish of the bay will be extermi pd unless wome restrie.

The writer personally returned many bass to the water on aceount of their size, and many other anglers reported to this column that they had done likewise. During _the Summer months and well into September there was a scarc- ity of smelt, the favorite or one of the favorite baits for the members of the bass family. Rivermen who seine for these little fish report that the muddy water caused them to seatter, making it difficult to get them. When the anglers were able to get a good supply of smelt the bass at first seemed to be eager for them, wanted to play with them, much as a does with a mouse, until they finally killed the bait. This was true not only in the Potomac River but alwo in the Shenandoah River. In the Tidal Basin, where 5,000 adult re planted during the early and where a limit of five of any game species was placed on anglers, namely, bass, crap- anglers got thelr day's quota. This is surprising, because the fish are in the basin, especially prepared racks st the flood gates preventing their escape. p The weason for fishing in the Basin closed at the end of October this year, but next year this column Iv.golng to azk that the weson be extended until the 18t of December, November being one of the best monthw to angle for these gamest missloner Henry O'Malley and Glen C. Leach, chief of the Bureau of Fish Culture of the Bureau of Fisheries, estimate that at least 200,000 wmall bass were hatched in the Baxin last Spring from the 5,000 adult bass planted mixsion wias granted to seine the voir in the Fall, and crvision of the United aten Bureau of Fisheries this work was sccdmplished with disappointing results, The Osh cavght in the big net operating in the reservolr totaled only 100 bass and sbout 25 crapple, which were immediately planted in the Basin, These baws van from 1 to 3 were small, || TIA JUANA RESULTS | | s 24 i) Tgthies | drins seth Miee Koo o Gt Thien v | Rl kit W i gy ke aid up Gl Frad. 318 "Vheily) i iganedly 1110 e Way " anspfunt iy, A Ol wnd Cadinin Foilin wacy @ yearoldy Vot e w3000 8T Vid (mian) Vo7 Woney opy Wil W e o | Rotling Btar | § Drusun Tow, i o tartonss | LYY clan | Ml i | S il ey » Auee, Bweesis { AL s st WAL L "yl e wnt Ponitiin Tgndtas i) i 10 Fivwwater | Tond st 5 f A whao 1 i wat il winl i) e WS 4 i 1Owenn) Hoi (Pl o 1104 ey Caplain Gusrd A . e oo 00 ird ity and LT Sun T THE SUNDAY: STAR, WASHINGTON, D. 0, DECEMBER. 25 1927—SPORTS SECTION.

In fast becoming one of the most effective “anchor” shooters in_the circuit, Plant Bureau managed to catch the Bo-Kems off stride and took all three games. De Glantz, Lindstrom and Rose of Plant did some connistent shooting, registering sets of 333, 332 and 321, respectively. None of the So- Kems could top the 300 mark. Ferrall and McConville, shooting Ne. 2 for Plant and So-Kems, had a terrific battle for “low man"—er—honors, Mac winning out when Jack’s foot ®lipped and he pulled a 1-pin spare to give him 270, a mark too high for Mac to reach in a mere 30 .frames. Both drowned their sorrow In the thought that they trimmed Charlie Gerdroff anyway. Central Stores kept up its winning streak by defeating the Shops quint two out of three games, with Frank Donaldson (of the Eleven Donaldsons) showing the way with games of 125, 115 and 111.

The 18.2 balkline championship event atiracted a host of international stars, Jake Schaefer, Willie Hoppe, Felix unge and several other ve. nowned cue experts staged remark. able exhibitions, but they were unable to overcome Welker Cochran, the young Californian, e emerged from the tourney with the champlonship. Only one District title was definitely established. 1t was in the threecush ion class and Ruark was winner in this as well as in the natiomal event. A tournament for the pocket billtard champlonship, although not offictally recognized, was heid. It was captured v George Kell Two 182 halkline rnaments were conducted for Dis. ot billlardists, leaving title claims clouded, In that at the Arcadia, Ed vard Powell was victor, The one held at the Lewis Krauss establishment was won by Frank Turton.

Phil Spinella looked askance at the former Wash-| ingtonian when he offered his services in the approaching match. But after watching Reds shoot a few strings the veteran Phil wae convinced. “That fellow certainly can bowl” | he told Al Gardner, the Convention Hall manager over the telephone last night. Gardner had called Phil to learn his line-up. Phil said he had six erack perform- ers, including Barnev Spinella, Chris Spinella, Joe Porto, Morgan, Lel Lust and himself.
