The Potomac, running true to form, is again muddy, which puts a stop to angling for small~ mouth bass in the upper river. In the lower Potcmac, that is, the creeks and coves where the large-mouth bass make their homes, some good bass have been landed recently. But the majority of anglers have quit for this year and so only meager reports reach us. HE number of anglers venturing forth these cold days in quest of A sad state of affairs was reported to us last week and the worst cf it is noth- ing can be done to correct same. friend of this column reported that big- mouth bass were being taken in nets in large numbers from Piscataway Creek on the Maryland side of the river. ‘The men operating are sald to work at nights and at times have made hauls numbering in the hundreds. We called the attention of the Maryland commis- sion to this condition. but were informed they could do nothing about it, as the State had no law prohibiting_the tak- ing of bass in this manner. We asked that & man be sent down there to se2 if any undersized bass were being taken and this the Maryland authorities promised to do. Their report will be published as soon as received. ‘The United States Bureau of Fisheries has been dcing good work in Montgom- ery County during the last week or two in taking the bass, crapple and bream from the waters of the old C. & O. Canal and planting them in the Po- tomac River. Last week the bureau re- ports that 763 adult fish were taken from the canal and restored to the river along with 526 yearlings (fish about onc year old) and 227 fingerlings. This work was begun at Glen Echo and ex- tended to Haunted House, located above Eight-mile Level. This is good work on the part of the Bureau of Fisheries, but while one body works overtime to conserve fish another body works equally hard in destroying them for commercial gain. The condition above described in the Potomac River is an easy one to handle and would be quickly solved by any other State than Maryland. The Mary- land Legislature is responsible for the whole situation in refusing to pass a bill presented at its last session to pro- hibit the sale of black bass in the State. The Congress of the United States passed such a law for the District of Columbia, and the Virginia Legislature previousiy had passed such a law. The fly in the ointment is Maryland. It has jurisdic- tion over the Potomac to the Virginia chore, but fails to pass any legislation for the prctection of the large-mouth bass, one of our gamest fish. This should be remedied at the earlise pos- sible moment. It is true that the last Legislature passed a bill for a closed season on bass in the Potomac dur- ing the months of April, May, June and July, but it is in the remaining open months, lally those during the cold weather when the bass congregate for the Winter months, that the real dam- age is done. It is pointed out very clearly by Wil- liam C. Adams, director of the division of fisheries and game of Massachusetts, ;| that fishing and hunting can no longer regarded as cheap sport, according to a bulletin of the American Game Protective Association. Free fishing and hunting can no longer be enjoyed in America in the sense that it can be had for nothing. It is only within re- cent years that the gunner and angler has paid anything for his sport in the way of license fees. Adams ufls: “A large percentage of t in nursing the hope that will occur to restore the abundance of thé past. Too many of us insist on harboring the fallacy of the God-given right of free fishing and hunting. Some still nurse the chimera of a so-called American system of free A SAFE A | ti fishing and hunting. These ideas must be thrown into the discard once antl for all if we are to deal with this problem on its merits.” Adams says it is unreasonable to ex- pect the investment of a dollar or two to yleld the maximum of fish and game which the angler and gunner is allowed by law to take within each open sea- son. It is time that sportsmen realized that the fish and game they bring to bag can only be in proportion to the investment they make in it. Elaborate and expensive equipment is necessary to maintain the propagation plants which must be supported to produce the large numbers required for plant- ing and there must be greatly increased facilities for management and protec- ion. ‘The local chapter of the Izaak Wal- ton League held its monthly meeting at the Raleigh Hotel last Wednesday night. These meetings are growing in popularity each month as local anglers realize that the chapter here is up on its toes all the time working hard for conservation. The local membership, according to a report read by the sec- retary, shows a jump of over 100 per cent during the last year, and it is hoped that by the next meeting night many more will join. After the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting and other routine matters had been disposed of, the presi- dent, Dr. D'Arcy Magee, delivered a short address in which he spoke of the work that had been accomplished and what he hoped would be done for Wal- tonism in the future. He said it was very gratifying to him to see so many representative types of men present, lawyers, doctors and business men of ‘Washington and to learn from the sec- retary of the rapid growth of the or- ganization. “Naturally,” said Dr. Magee, “I am very much gratified at the growth of our organization, but I am not satis- fied by any means. I want to see our local chapter one of the largest in the country. It is here at the Nation's Capital that the Izaak Walton League of America should have a powerful chapter and, if it is within my power I intend to make it such.” Dr. Magee then paid a glowing tribute to Izaak Walton and to the things which he stood for and the things be- ing accomplished today in his name. Glen C. Leach, Chief of the Division of Fish Culture of the U. 8. Bureau of Fisheries, was present and told the members he would go on the air in December over Station WOL for the local chapter and tell the people of the country some of the work being done by the bureau. The committee on bass planting was, then informed that the Bureau of Fish- eries had a shipment of small mouth bass coming in from Iowa and that 500 of them were for the local chapter. Thursday at noon the fish were taken in the containers of the bureau and planted in Seneca Creek by Dr. Magee and Jack Stovall. Bob Wilson, secretary of the chap- ter, read the following letter: “Dear Mr. Wilson: We are in re- cellnt. of a letter from the lewood, California, Chapter, in which en- close dues for Chief Btroi art of the Yakima - Tribe of Indians.

WASHINGTON 1146 19th ST. N.W. FOR SALES AND SERVICE BATTERY CO. NORTH 0141 SEEKING T0 REGAIN ‘PERSONAL' CROWN Championship Would Help Gate Receipts on Tour of Australia. BY FRANCIS J. POWERS. ALTER HAGEN, the big busi- ness man of golf, has plant- ed his broad brogans in Los Angeles and started prac- tice for the 1929 P. G. A. championship to be played over the Hill Crest C. C., beginning December 2. The old duke seldom practices for any golf event, depending upon his nu- merous _exhibition matches to keep his touch keen and shots straight. So when he does elect to spend hours on the practice tee and green—a task that must be irksome to the light-hearted Haig—he is prompted by business rea- sons and usually achieves his goal. Hagen, after competing in the P. G. A. duel and five of California’s most lucrative -Winter events, will sail for Australia in company with Joe Kirk- wood, the trick-shot artist, who is a native of the land down under. Without any title Hagen would be a big attraction to Anzac golf followers, who seldom are visited by any of the world’s best niblic artists. But if he can land in Australia as British open and professional champion of the Unit- ed States, a lot more shillings will be paid at the first tee. And Mr. Hagen never has been a chap to scorn shill- ings—not when there are enough of them. Hagen rather regards the P. G. A. championship as his private property and his feelings were sorely bruised when Leo Diegel knocked him out of the field at Baltimore last Fall and prevented him from winning the title for the sixth time and the fifth in succession. The professional cham- plonship is the youngest of our national golf events and only three men—Gene Sarazen, Jim Barnes and Diegel—have held that honor besides Hagen. Which gives Sir Walter some reason for the proprietary attitude he asSumes toward the event. Diegel's victory over Hagen in the third round of the 1928 P. G. A. spolled what would have been one of the great- est records ever made in golf. Hagen won 22 consecutive matches in the P. G. A. fleld when Leo bowled him over, 2 and 1. Now Walter is hard at work with the jeda of s a new run of victories in his preferred cham- P Een is wise in gett 1y agen getting an ear] start on the Oalifornia greens. The Pacific Coast carpets usually are of cocos bent and the most tricky in the country. They are filled with tiny and almost invisible undulations that can ruin the aim of the best putters in the | g game unless they have been thoroughly studied. The amateurs at Pebble Beach quicky learned the difficulties of Cali- fornia greens and even so great a put- ter as Bobby Jones had some well hit putts curl away from the cup when it seemed quite certaln the ball would go down. Diegel, the defending P. G. A. cham- pion, has been in California for several months and will be in fine form for the P. G. A. test. It has been a good year for Diegel. He starred in Britain, both in the Ryder Cup matches and the open; finished well in the United States open and then captured the Canadian open. Hagen will find the Ague Caliente professional a tough foe should he encounter Leo at Hill Crest. Hill Crest is one of the finest courses in the Los Angeles district and as good a test as La Cumbre at Santa Barbars, where the champlonship was ol lly scheduled. There was some -difficulty in raising the $10,000 purse at Santa Barbara and the P. G. A. committee shifted the venture to Los Angeles, where the gate will be larger. ‘The professionals were quite busy during the past week. The executive committee met in nta and re- elected its officers and awarded the 1931 Ryder Cup matches to the Scioto Val- ley Country Club of Columbus, Ohio. ‘The awarding of the 1931 interna- tional profa nal team matches to Columbus virtually insures the success of the event, both from the standpoinc of good golf and financial returns. When the 1926 national open was held at Scloto the gate was one of the lursuz in the history of American golf and few will ever forget the finish of that champlonship, when Bob Jones came from behind to pass Joe Turness on the last eight holes and win the title, George Trautman will handle the matches from the Columbus ena, and that means a good show for the spectators. The touring professionals will return to California from the Hawailian open the coming week and resume play on November 28, when the $4,000 Berkeley open will be played over the Berkeley Country Club course. With the Berkeley open the Winter season really gets un- der way and there will be few off days for the fessiorials during the next eight mpkr‘o HE new greens committee of the Columbia Country Club was to meet this afternoon with course supervisor O. P. Fitts to go over the program of course main- tenance and consider what shall be done during the Winter. After six years of highly satisfactory service as hairman of the greens committee Greenleaf H. Chasmar, a man with a well-grounded knowledge of greens work, and a former officer of the Dis- trict Golf Association, has resigned the post of greens committee chairman at Columbia. He has been succeeded by another man with an extensive knowl- e ot greens work, a_highly capable golfer and an individual who has con- siderable time to give to solution of the problems of course upkeep. The new chairman is Clyde B. Asher, who also is vice president of the Columbia Club. and who, for precedence is fol- lowed, ~ill become president of the club a ycor or two hence. Asher has called a meeting of his committee with Fitts for today at which the Winter. The committee, in addition the committee will go over plans for to the chairman, is composed of the following members of the club: L. W. Laudick, J. E. Baines, H. King Cornwell, and J. E. Dalgleish. One of the first matters the commit- tee was to sider was removal of the bunker about 275 yards from the tee at the right of the fifth fairway. This bunker, members have pointed out, catches tee shots, is a hindrance to proper play of the hole, and does not serve the pu?)ou intended, which was to keep play from the right side of the fairway. A smaller bunker has been placed about 190 yards from the tee. It has virtually been decided that fill- ing in of the ditch at the first hole will not be undertaken this Winter, al- though the old greens committee had considered this job as a means of time saving on busy days. Inasmuch as Co- lumbia has a heavier amount of play than almost any other local course, it was thought that this move might alle- viate congestion from lost balls on busy days. The grass ditch in front of the fifteenth green has been tiled and sod- ded. and work now is going on on the twelfth hole, where the grass ditch at u; left of the fairway is being leveled off. ‘W. Carlton Evans of Columbia got a birdie 3 on the par 4 seventeenth hole, but it didn't win the hole for him. Far from it, for his birdie lost the hole. It happened in this wzo Playing from the lower tee, Evans ve half way up the hill and pitched close enough to the cup to the putt for the bird. CIGAR TOBACCOS ARE THE FINEST IN YEARS But Miller B. Stevinson, the District champion, with whom Evans was play- ing, knocked his ball on the green from the tee and canned the putt for a win- ning eagle 2. and A. L. Hougton, pro a arper Country Club, left Washington last night for St. Louis en route to the Pro- fessional Golfers’ Association tourna- ment, which starts near Los Angeles next Monday. Before he left McLeod spun around the Columbia course in 1 hour and 50 minutes and 73 strokes, which should be golf good enough to win him a place among the qualifiers in the pro event next week. He and Houghton will have only two days of practice for the tourney. Houghton left with a cash gift from the members of the Harper Club to speed him on his way. Somewhere, some time, last Friday night one of the five turkeys which was intended to grace some one's T! - giving day dinner table, as one of the prizes in the Bannockburn Golf Club turkey tournament, was spirited away, leaving but four gobblers to be played for as prizes in the tournament which endsd last Sunday. And on Saturday Norman J. Hall, a popular member of the Bannockburn Club, was given a gift of a turkey by an anonymous donor. The facts may not be connected in any way, according to Fred Byrne, chairman of the club golf committee, but the circumstances are declared by Byrne to be suspicious. Anyhow, Hall, who had just returned from a honeymoon trip, got the turkey without playing for it, and one of the five prize gobblers dis+ appeared. But that didn’t withhold a bird from four of the members of the Bannock- burn club in the tourney whose results were announced today. Luther Florine, the stellar southpaw of the club, won one of the birds with a card of 76—9—67. So did C. E. Kellogg, who registered 94— 27—67. So did M. C. Torrey, who had 86—17—69, and so did F. W. Perkins, who had 91—21—70. So the genial Fred is satisfled, if every one else is satisfied, and claims that Norman Hall deserved a bird anyhow, even though it may have been one of the prize birds for the tournament. Byrne does not say it was. He only claims it may have been. Anyhow, one of the birds was u urday 's I&t of an unknown donor. 5 iy Boxing matches in Mexico have beer put u) & high plane by the recent Sroantea hoxing Sommisson: - IN CONSEQUENCE LA PALINAS ARE RICHER:-COOLER:- MILDER - MORE FRAGRANT THAN EVER BEFORE FOR THEY ARE NOW MADE ENTIRELY OF 19 1928 leaf—tobacco's finest crop in years—and only the best of that crop—is now used exclusively in the blending . of La Palinas. 28 LEAF The makers of La Palina bought millions of dollars worth of 1928 leaf—aged and cured it—brought it to a mellow per- fection—to make milder, richer, more fragrant, America's largest selling high grade cigar (Over a Million a Dayl.
