CHAMP PICKS HIM AS AN TO BEAT Ward’s Smooth Delivery Wins Praise—Laurel Pitchers Organize Tuesday. 6 NDREW TALLMADGE is the man they'll have to beat in A Washington.” Thus predicts Millard E. Peake of Bethesda, metropolitan dis- trict horseshoe pitching champion, anent the second annual tournament sponsored by The Washington Star, ‘which will open July 16. Tallmadge and Peake met recently | in a match that went 13 games. Tall- | madge won 7. Charles A. Fort, who won the Wash- ington title last year, has moved to Glen Echo and there is likely to be a warm scramble for the vacant crown. Nearly every community has a_pitcher ‘who is being touted to succeed Fort. AYMOND PANHOLZER of Seat| Pleasant, who reached the South- ern Maryland finals last year, thinks Mount Rainier has the next metropolitan champion in the person of Ray Ward. “He's the smoothest piece of pitching machinery I've ever seen,” says Pan- holzer, “and he’s getting primed proper for this tournament. “We should have gone much further than the Prince Georges County finals last year with any sort of luck. I be- lieve ' Ward was talked out of the county title. A running fire of banter was kept up by one of the spectators all the time ‘Ward was pitching and it threw him off his game. “I like to watch Ward pitch, if only for his smooth delivery. 1 guess he got it from bowling.” Panholzer, by tne way, will have charge of the tournament at Seat Pleas. ant and it promises to be a corker. 'ACK TULLOCH, enterprising sports | editor of the Alexandria Gazette, | will be the tournament chairman at Alexandria. Jack has a hand in the promotion of nearly all he writes about. 'ORSESHOE pitchers of Laurel, Md., are asked to attend a brief mee ing next Tuesday night at o'clock at the National Guard Armory. Lieut. Julian Anderson will give 'em the dope on Laurel’s section of the metro- | politan tournamen A SWEEPING challenge by Ed Henry of Falls Church, Va., probably will get him plenty of action. Among those who have accepted is Earle Crane, a colorful star of last year's tournament. Crane jmay visit Henry today. HAIRMEN are urged to so arrange | their pairings that three-man finals | won't be necessary. This situation 1s easily avoided by the use of byes in the first round. ‘Washington's preliminaries will be run off on a time schedule, with the pairings and times of play to be an- nounced from day to day in The Star. | ‘Thus it won't be necessary for pitchers to waste time by having to sLow up | g ;rv‘/ery day on the mere prospect of play- 8.

French in request- ing 10 entry blanks and some rule books, “but keep an eye on us!” It may be encouraging to French and his playmates to know that no major title was won in the tournament last "‘::‘ Y year by a pitcher who figured he had a real chance. Peake wasn't so much as a dark ‘horse, but tock the metropolitan crown. Alexander Kirchner, who won the| Northern Virginia title, felt he would do well to get past the preliminaries. So, too, did Charles Fort, who triumphed in ashington. “Bow Wow” Myers, touted as a bear- cat before championship play started, was bumped off early.

ANASSAS, Va., June 21:—When the weary day is over and dusk has set in many a busi- ness and professional man of Manassas may be seen wending home- ward with drooping shoulders yet with a satisfied and hopeful look. To those who wonder what it is all about, in- quiry discloses that these determined men form the advance guard of aspir- | ants for the horseshoe pitching cham- | plonship of Prince Willlam County, | which is again being conducted by The | | Washington Star in the metropolitan | area of Washington. | Maj.

Patterson said that despite the surprising number of en- tries last year and the unbounded en- | thusiasm of the participants and spec- tators, the July contest promises to es- tablish new records for pitching as well as to set new marks for enthusiasm and attendance. Among those already' practicing for | the tournament and planning to repre- | sent Manassas are such well known tossers as C. Armistead Sinclair, country treasurer; Thomas H.

SNOW of Alexandria, Va. guest speaker J last Thursday in the Rod and Stream's weekly radio talks to anglers, urged them to fish according to the laws governing the sport. He pointed out that there would be no need of fishing licenses, no wardens and no fish hatcheries if we had used in a decent manner the wild life at | our disposal. One of the functions of a game de- partment, he said, is to convince the people that it is more enjoyable as well as more honorable to play the game | according to the rules than it is to win by cheating. “What thrill would there be in winning a game of bridge by puliing a trump card from an extra poc: in the pocket when an extra trump was needed; of throwing a base ball over the center-field fence and running the bases for a home Tun; of taking the’unruly golf bail from cup to cup and dropping it in? The pleas- any sport is in playing it lee‘t’ird- ing to the rules and not cheating,” he said. undreds of years of the enervating influence of city life, coupled with the absence of necessity to hunt as a means of livelilhood or to kill as a defense against the ravages of beasts of the field and forests, has failed to wholly eradi- cate an inherent and inherited love of hunting and fishing. “There is an indefinable something in man’s make-up that responds to the lure of the open spaces. The beauties of nature quicken his esthetic appre- ciation, the immensities of nature com- fort his inadequacies, the successful pit- ting of his strength and skill against the creatures of nature flatter his over- lordship. Hence we find the oppor- tunity to indulge in the secret longings of the heart that take one out of doors and especially to the hunting fields and fishing streams. Judge Snow pointed out that last year 7,000,000 citizens of the -United States purchased hunting and fishing licenses in order that they might legally engagh in these sports. In Virginia, out of & population now estimated at less than two and a half millions, he said, approximately 150,000 purchased li- censes and probably a great many hunt- upd snapping turtle caught in the Potomac River near Chain Bridge by J.

They returned without a fish, but got a wonderful case of sunburn. Corn got a | strike from one of these big fish, but | the “big feller” got away and carried with him a Jot of Corn’s line. These anglers caught a Jot of sharks and one big stingaray, and battled with him for #¥most an hour, but nary a channel 'RIDAY morning, E. E. Stitzel of 4919 | Arkansas avenue ncrthwest, accom- panied by his son, J. B. Stitzel, paid | us a visit carrying a big basket cov- ered over with newspapers and burlap. The writer thought it was a big fish to be entered in The Star's fish con- test, but, lo and behold, when the cover was removed there was a 24-pound snapping turtle. It was landed by J. B. Stitzel fishing in the Potomac the first of the week between Fletchers and Chain Bridg Stitzel was fishing for big rock when Mr, Turtle came along and took his bait. He said at first he did not know what was on the end of his line. When the turtle was landed it broke up his fishing for rock, Stitzel said, because his prize was very angry at being taken from the water, and he and his father had a hard time sub- duing it. Turtle steaks and turtle soup will be on the menu in the Stitzel home | for several days. RICHMOND paper last week pub- lished a picture of a beautiful catch of rockfish, reported caught in the Chickahominy River. The total weight of the catch was 180 pounds and the largest fish measured 42 inches and weighed 26%; pounds. This particular stream is a wonderful place to hang these big rock, but a letter received by “Bob" Pyle, well known local angler, from his uncle, Cortz V. Jones of Rich- mond, says: “The inclosed looks good, but no one knows where they were caught, evidently not in the Chicka. hominy. The idea that prevails is that they were killed with a charge of dyna- mite in the Rappahannock River. They were full of bruises. This is enough to tell they were not caught casting.

There is an old sayh mon, jor league ball players ut “Hitting the ball where it 1s.” This means that a right-handed hitter should gflll balls pitched inside to left field, it grooved balls back through the itcher and hit outside balls to right ld. A left-hand hitter, of course, would do just the opposite. Many right-hand batters make the to pull balls pitched ld. They lose most of their power im doing this and it usually results in an easy infleld . Many an otherwise good itter has been spofled by trying to pull every ball pitched to him, 'lh::her 1t was inside or outside the plate. By adapting your hitting to where the pitcher throws the ball to you, ma- HITTo RIGHT JUST MEET BALL PULL To LEFT INSIDE BALL G6ROOVE BALL S A i e OUTSIDE BALL you become a batter who hits to all flelds and the outfielders do not know where to play for you. This greatly Increases your chances of hitting safely. The batter who can hit to only one fleld is at the mercy of the pitchers and outfielder: Hitting to all flelds is a big rea- son for Rogers Hornsby's success as a hitter. He hits long and sharp to either left, center or right fleld, de- pending upon where the pitcher pitches the ball to him. Save this Big League Base Ball Series, another will appear shortly.

But when we look down upon the timid brook trout in a sparkling mountain stream, all decent citizens now admit that it is not play- ing the game according to rules to sur: round him with a net or to blow -him out with high explosives, but all have not yet realized that it is not playing the game according to, the rules to take advantage of his famished condition and catch him in the early Spring months before the season has opened, or to catch him before he is big enough to put up a real fight, or to keep catch- ing him after the rules of the game say that the game is ended, and we should call quits for that day. To make it a game we have some endirg point— in base ball nine innings, in goif 18 holes and in bass fishing 15 legal-sized fis] f the fishermen of Virginia and the stranger within our gates, whom we are always glad to welcome, will only play the game according to the rules, the Commission of Game and Inland Pish- eries will take the fund realized from the sale of hunting licenses to repair some of the damage done by our unwise use and oftentimes abuse of our splen- did fishing waters. In conclusion Judge Snow said: “Play the game according to the rules, whicl are, that we are not to commence fish- ing for bass until July 1; fish only with hook and line, keep only fish 10 inches or more in size and only 15 of these per day. It means so much to us to restore the small-mouth bass to our 2,000 miles of streams that all good citizens should join the movement to treat as a cheat and outlaw the man who dynamites, who seines, who pollutes, who takes the brood bass from the nest or before the spawning period. The results of these conservation measures in the years to come are seen, cleaner streams, bet! fishing, and you may be able to say, with Ulysses of old, “Many things have I seen. a part of which I was.” ISHING conditions improved all along the line during the last week. From the many reports received the angler can expect good results al- most anywhere he drops his line in the water. From Solomons Island to An- napolis reports say good catches of hardheads and some trout were made and from the Eastern Shore of the bay Capt. Dan Ball sends in the most en- . The Lower Potomac.

They denied this, but the old man said he had been fishing all his life with rod and reel and knew what he was talk- ing about,” 'HE Federal Trade Commission has another problem on its hands. This time it is & controversy over the Vir- ginia fish laws. Lon A. Schimpf of the commission wants “Rod and Stream” to act as judge this time. The letter follows “Several of our office anglers have become involved in a controversy over the Virginia fish law, or rather its en- forcement, and by agreement I am ask- | ing you to settle the matter for all in | your ‘Rod and Stream’ department in | Bunday's issue of The Star. “Gunston Bay is a part of the Poto- | mac River. It is tidewater. The bay is | practically surrounded by the Gunston manor estate and Fort Humphreys (Government property). It is claimed that if any one enters Fort Humphreys and rents a boat at Portage he must have a Virginia license to fish in the bay after July 1 and during the bass season, but if he rents a boat in Mary- land and rows or motors to Gunston he can fish all he wants without a license. | “One can rent a boat at Portage, row | to the mouth of the bay and fish with- out a license, How about it? Can the authorities of Virginia compel an angler to show a license when he leaves Gov- | ernment property to fish in tidewater? | Please make this clear. | “I always read your Rod and Stream | articles and will watch for the answer | to_this.” The Virginia law has been changed. It is now necessary for anglers to ob- | tain a license to fish anywhere in fresh | ter this season, in tidewater and above tidewater. diction over the Potomac to the Vlr-‘ ginia shore.

If an angler rents a boat at Port- | age, rows to the mouth of the bay and goes out n Maryland waters, he can fish without a license, but is apt to run || into difficulties when he returns to Vir- ginia territory. The majority of bass caught in the cove are in the grass in Virginia territory and only a few are caught out in the Potomac. Technically the angler may be within his rights, but if approached by a warden he would have a hard time trying to convince him that the bass were caught in Maryland waters. The advice of this column is to buy a Virginia license if Yyou go out from the Virginia shore. GRIFFS TO INSPECT HORNE.
