McCALLUM. ENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL'S| doughty team of links warriors | appeers to have the initial | competition for the Dawes Cup | sewed up. Capt. Mike Oliveris | men have waded through two matches | with their only riva's to win th"m both by such mpressive margins that unless | Tech and Western show considerably | more strength then they have shown to | date, Central should win the series by | & topheavy margin | Central's team is composed of six| golfers who all are capable of negotiating any standard length course in better then 80. The same cannct be said of Tech and Western, although both the latter terms have on» or {wo men who can hold their own with Central’s best. | Business and Eastern have been un- | able to muster teams for the scheduled | five-team series, and are out of it. The | series now is a Tound Tobin affair among | three schools, and Central needs to| score only one victory, in its coming | match with Tech to win the cup. | The Dawes Cup competition original- | w. 1y was scheduled to be an 18-hole affair | Dr. to be played at East Potomac Park. But the youngsters prevailed on the school athletic directors to urge the donor to meke it the trophy for the team cham- pionship. The Mount Pleasant institution has a well balanced team, with J. Monro Hunter at No. 1, Francis Horton, the interscholgstic title holder, at No. 2, and Mike Oliveri at No. 3. Then come | A)lthe the Sherfy brothers and Harold N. Graves. ‘Western has been seriously crippled | by scholastic difficulties and the inabili- 1y of several prospective team members to play for other causes. Tommy Webb has been ineligible for the team be- cause of deficlency in_his marks, while Don Wrenn works on Saturday and has heen unable to play. Tech has only one outstanding youngster capable of holding his own in the par-clinging atmosphere which surrounds the Central team. A unform rule for ball out of bounds | and lost ball, entailing a penalty of dis- tance only or the equivalent of one stroke, has been adopted by the golf committee of the Washington Golf and Country Club for the tournament which begins on Wednesday. The committee decided today that the same penalty for unplayable ball would allow too much hold the United States Golf Association rules in the matter of unplayable ball, which entails a penalty of two strokes, with the privilege of teeing the ball after lifting from an unplayable lie. One of the competitors most favored to win the Wi n event is the youthful Henry D. Nicholson, who is especially good over his home course. “Nick” had a 71 last Saturday and has been playing better than ever this year. Two years ago he was runner-up to A. L. Houghton and three years ago won the qualifying round in the Midatlantic championship at Washington with & card of 72. Yesterday's heavy downpour washed out three golf events. The exhibition match at the Town and Country Club,. in which Maurice J. McCarthy and Mark Flannagan, Georgetown Univer- sity amateurs, were to oppose Arthur B. ‘Thorn, the home club pro, and Mel Shorey of East Potomac Park, was can- celed, while members of the Town and try Club were unable to play in 18-hole handicap i finished in the swi Chase Club and the tourney was called off. But the hardy golfers at Congressional louged through the rain in the blind gony event rn&fed by Professional Sandy Armour, with Frank Mitchell winning the event. The five net scores between 70 and 82 were placed in a hat and drawn. Mitchell registered 97—20 —1717. Second place went to Carl Weigle with 91—18—73. C. H. Giroux won third place with 99—17—82 and B. L. Taylor, jr. won fourth place with 91— 21—70. ' Fifth place went to J. E. Mc- Clure with 86—14—72. First prize was an expensive golf bag. Max Weyl, former champion of the ‘Town md’(‘iounu'y Club, leads in the for ladder 82 to lead his card of 163. Howard Nordlinger is in second place with 82-88—170. Other scores follow: M. B. Fischer, 91-87— 178; Fulton Brylawski, 90-88—178; Mor- ris Simon, 90-90—180; Albert E. Stei- nem, 93-91—184; William G. Illich, 91- 102—193. Those who qualify in the lower brackets mey challenge those a rung or two above for their places on the team. Beaver Dam plans to celebrate the opening of its new nine holes on May 30 with a series of fun-making golf tournaments. One of the members of the club favors a costume golf tourney, in which the competitors may play in any garb other than orthodox golf costume. Several other kinds of tourna- ments have been suggested. The new nine is completed and only awaits the mwtn{nor a heavy carpet of grass before being formally thrown open to the membership. It will be the second nine of the regular 18-hole course, and when it is opened and in- corporated in the regular layout the old first nine will be rebuilt. Circulars announcing the nineteenth invitation golf tourney of the Chevy Chase Club have been issued by the golf committee of the club, which con- sists of Robert Stead, jr, chairman; C. Ashmead Fuller and A. McCook Dun- lop. The tourney, which will be held May 15, 16 and 17, is open to mem- bers of the club and invited guests having an official club handicap of 14 and under. A qualifying round will be held May 15, with the usual four match play rounds to follow on the two suc- ceeding days. To the winner will go a replica of ‘the President Taft Trophy, while the runner-up will receive a rep- lica of the Vice President Sherman Trophy. Entries will close with the golf committee at 6 o'clock, May 13, and must be sent in through the secre- taries of the clubs of entrants, with club handicap duly certified. With the tee plates well on the for- ward end of the tee, most of the mem- bers who played the new sixteenth hole at Columbia for the first time last Wed- nesday, found the hole little more than a good mashie shot. All were that the hole is & vast improvement cver the old one from the lower tee and that the green offers a better target for a well hit iron shot than the old green, with its bumps and hollows. From the rear of the tee, where the markers will be placed in tournaments, the hole will measure about 165 yards. Miller B. Stevinson, who won the| Baltimore Country Club tournament in | 1926, has decided to take another crack at the competition for the Maryland cup. The Baltimore Country Club tourney is to be played over the famed Five Farms course of the club on May 9, 10 and 11. It conflicts with the | Ine;mey (Bann.): 8:3¢, C.

By the Assoclated Pres: LONDON, April 29—English golf- | dom expects every man to do his duty | in the British Open at Muirfield start- | ing next Monday. | After watching Americans grab off | thelr prize golf trophy for five years in | a row, Englishmen seem to have come to the conclusion that the time has | some for the worm to turn. In pre- vious years there has been a sumlar‘ conviction but nothing ever came of it as Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen and Jim Barnes walked away with the trophy. There are now definite signs that a i [turn for the better has taken place in | D. | English golf. The British victory over | Hagen’s Americans in the Ryder Cup concluded Saturday, has filled Englishmen with confidence that some native-born_golfer will win the open this year. Not even the presence of an American contingent of 22 can do more | than slightly diminish that confidence. | Ryder Cup Buoys Hopes. The Ryder Cup victory has brought forth a volume of editorial comment, revealing not only gratification over the success but confidence that the mo- notony of American victories at last has been broken through and proof given that British golf is far from dead. Despite all this optimism, Britons are showing no tendency to discount the American entry list in the open. That would not be humanly possible in view of American victories in the open the past five years and seven times since 1921, But the opinion seems to be general that with the Ryder Cup success to buoy | up their lost confidence, British golfers will make much more of a fight of it in the open than they have in past years. All the leaders in British golf except Roger Wethered and E. W. E. Holder- ness are to compete. ‘The American entry list includes the AGE. MHCHELL Hifo AGAINGT A BRACED LEFS - LEG — G BY SOL METZGER. When we are told that the down- swing of the drive is the reverse of the backswing we are apt to so ualize. This mental picture unques- tionably influences our efforts. The result is not good. In studying golf the statement that the downswing is the reverse of the backswing has to be discarded, Just as does the statement that at contact one is in the same position 2s at address, except that the club is in_motion. No golfer duplicates his stance at contact, as the accompanying sketches of Compston show. Thegood driver Jets his hips lead his arms—they actually control them—both in tak- ing the club back and in hurling it through the ball. How; then, can the positions at the same points of backswing and downswing be alike? Forget such confusing and untrue advice. Just remember the cardinal points and hew to theém.until such minor detalls take cire. of them- selves, as they will with practice. But one point must be remembered during the downswing. ' You must learn to automatically. the left leg as you start the club down. This point will take care of itself if you do the other things carrectly. You brace this leg, so Mitahell says, in order to get something firm to hit against as you whip the clubhead through the ball.

Just at the time when the perch arrived in our vicinity, along with some pan rock, the waters, following the heavy rains, became very muddy and the current swift. The same condi- tions prevailed in salt-water sections, except that there was no muddy water. Better things can be looked for, how- ever, especially among the salt-water fishermen. The hardheads have com- menced to bite in Chesapeake Bay. Last Sunday, fishing from the wharf at | Plum Point, & party landed seven hard- | heads, two pan rock and one Kingfish. | Those in the party were Mr. and Mrs. R. Pennington, B. Gerling and B. Rob- inson. | This was the first report to reach us | of any fish being caught in salt water this season by rod and reel anglers. . H. Mears of Wachapreague, Va., wired Ollie Atlas that on Wednesday he landed 64 trout. This is proof that the run has started at this remarkable fishing ground on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. It is also encouraging to those members of the angling frater- nity who intend to make the second de luxe fishing trip to Wachapreague next month. Ollie Atlas, under whose direction the trip will be held, has definitely decided on May 12 for the outing. The trip | will be in one of the big busses, or two, |1t enough anglers make reservations to | fill them. The start will take place |from the Atlas Store at 6 a.m. ‘The cost of the trip will be in the neighborhood of $30, which will include everything, both going and returning. All the angler has to do is to bring along his tackle; Ollie will attend to | the rest. We wish to call to the attention of the Virginia Fish Commission some facts reported last week. One is that dynamite is being used in Goose Creek around Middleburg to kill fish, and the other is that seines are being used in the Shenandoah River a short dis- tance above Harpers Ferry. And the attention of both Maryland and Virginia authorities is called to the snagging of hundreds of bass at Great Falls. Such reports have come in from several sources and one says that at least one of the men so engaged is well “!'known to the Maryland authorities. By Perry Miller There is no doubt about there being plenty of bass in the Potomac between Little Falls and Great Falls. Sunday, April 21, a party of Washing- ton motorists bought a fish from a man Wwho, they said, was operating a seine in the Shennandoah' River just a little distance above Harpers Ferry. Our attention was first called to the matter by an employe of the Biological Survey, who reported that a 10!-pound rock- fish had been caught in the Shenan- doah along with others of smaller weight. Investigating the story we found that the fish was really a rockfish, a seven striper, which with others of this species, in some mysterious man- ner found their way to the Shenandoah River. Last Sunday the Shenandoah River was very high and muddy and the man when he could not use & hook and line resorted to the use of a seine with good results. A Virginian visited this column re- cently and said the bass law west of the Blue Ridge Mountains permitted angling for bass on June 15, and that the date of July 1 only applies to fishing east of the mountains. For his information and others, the Virginia law states that | the bass season opens July 1. This law was enacted in 1928 by the general assembly of Virginia and states that all acts and parts of acts in relation to catching fish in the Shanendoah River or its Wibutaries in conflict with this act are hereby repealed. Not only is the water in the George- town Channel polluted, according to the District Health Department, but accord- ing to citizens of that section the air during the Spring, Summer and Autumn months is foul. Georgetown Citizens' Association at a recent meeting ap- pointed a committee to again investigate the situation.
