Fair sex golfers are to gather one reckoned that the man who won the Rosedale preliminary would be a tough customer in the higher stages of competition in Wash- ington. Harry McCarthy. the defending champion at Rosedale, withdrew with 8 lame shoulder early in the going, but others had improved so much over last year that Harry was not even among the favorites this time. The field had grown in number and class. So today we have a formidable con- tender for high honors in the Wash- ington tournament in the person of Henry Irving. a young fellow who battled with skill and courage to lift the Rosedale championship. In the final round he defeated Joseph Auth and it was a struggle all the way. Irving took the first game, 50 to 48, lost the second, 44 to 50, and came back with a 50-33 decision in the last. A large gallery saw the final, the principals of which will shoot next in the Rosedale division play-offs. Judged on his showing in the preliminary, Auth should be one of Irving's strongest | rivals in the divisional meet. There was little to choose between them in the | ding dong final at Rosedale.

EW YORK, August 1.—Con- troversy is raging in Eng- land just now as to who is the greatest golf player that ever lived. The nominations are two—Bobby Jones and Harry Vardon. So far as this writer can learn, Jones is favored by the | younger generations of Britishers, | while those whose memory goes | back beyond 30 years are either| strong for Vardon or else inclined to place the great American youngster and England’s historic golfing figure upon a par. Now, it was the writer's privilege some time ago to see Bobby Jones and Var- don opposed in a two-ball foursome and certainly that day the Atlantan showed SPORTS. to advantage. But, of course, that was merely one day and, after all, this con- | trovérsy is an English argument and should be left to the English. Conditions Different. | some of the more thoughtful pro- | ponents of the Georgian call attention to the fact that conditions in golf have changed since Harry Vardon ruled the world. Courses were shorter in those {fact that Vardon made fewer errors than Jones forget that in the good old times there was no necessity of forcing for distance with every stick in the bag. Vardon, it is pointed out, could press, but really did npt have to do so. Courses were laid for a drive of perhaps 200 yards followed by a second shot with anything from a brassie to & mashie. \Even a champion, as one English expert | says, seldom used his mashie when he | was ‘more than 100 yards from the pin. | His midiron was the club, inevitably. | The premium was upon accuracy, con= rol. Long Pokes Now Style, Big Bertha drives from the tee and | tremendous wallops with the irons is the order of modern tourneys among | crack players. This was the situation Bobby Jones faced when he came into the game, and the English—even those who support Vardon—admit the marvel of Bobby making as few errors as he does; far fewer errors than any of his contemporaties. Admittedly wonderful in these days of stress, Jones, however—at least o say the Vardonites—is not, better than Harry was or would be, where he in his prime today.

PEW YORK, August 1.—Two record- breaking rounds have enabled Mac- Donald Smith, veteran Scot, to win the Long Island ‘open golf championship for the second straight year. Until pesterday 70 had never been broken at the Engineers’ Country Club, one of the toughest courses in the met- ropolitan district, but Smith, at the top of his game, shot a 68 in his morning round and another 68 in the afternoon to hang up & 72-hole total of 278 and win the championship by the decistve | margin of eight strokes. WASHINGTON TO STAGE NATIONAL PIN TOURNEY Washington will be the scene of the next National Duckpin Bowling Con- gress champlonships, it is understood, though no of announcement will be made until the congress’ annual busi- ness meeting August 11 in Baltimore. The tournament, it is said, will be staged at Convention Hall doah muddy today and that both rivers are very low. He says all fish are migrating to deep water, very few being caught in this section, the only fish seen being the sucker and catfish. J. M. Phillips at Riverton, Va., re- ports both branches of the Shenandoah clear at that place. He says: “Can see plenty bass take bait and run with it only to turn it lose. Very few re- ported caught.” J. L. C. Sunday wires in that the Monocacy is clear and very low, but no bass being caught, and so it goes for rnctlcnuy all streams both in Mary- and and Virginia. But in salt water things piscatorial are beginning to hum. First and fore- most_an unusual condition exists on the Eastern Shore. Channel bass, big ones, are being caught off Tilghmans Island and in the mouth of the Chop- tank River. The first report of these fish to reach this column was sent in by J. H. Hibbs of 215 Whittier street northwest, who said: fishing at Tilghmans Island as fine as he has ever experfenced. Having car- ried out parties each day he has caught hundreds of large hardheads, trout, spot and a large number of channel bass, having landed seven in the last week, the largest being caught by Harry Stansbury of Baltimore that weighed 74 pounds. The next largest ones were caught by Ruth Hadaway and Taylor Harrison of Tilghman, each welghing 67 pounds and taking one hour and forty minutes to lJand. These fish were caught five minutes apart and landed five minutes apart.” Hibbs’ channel bass weighed 61 and was the fourth largest ports other channel bass Janded weighed 52, 47 and 40 pounds, and also says that Capt. Harrison donated some of these large fish to the Easton Hospital, the Home of Aged Women at Easton and other charitable institutions. HIS week Charles M. Schneider and John W. Hurley, fishing off Tilgh- mans Isiand, landed three channel bass and lost one. Schneider caught two, one weighing 54 pounds and the other 32 pounds. Hurley landed one weighing 45 pounds and got another strike that took all his line out and he lost him. Hurley informed us that he got all his strikes using cut spot as, bait. He said to cut the spot from head to tail and use a long strip winding it through and around the hook. He also said he picked up several large trout and some taylors using the same bait. “Capt, Herman H. Harrison reports | Emergency | from & channel bass. We went out with Capt. Dan P. Ball, and if ever a man did try to get among fish he certainly did, and at the same time he was very careful and took no unnecessary risks with the big waves running. Had we been fortunate in getting calm water there is no doubt but that we would have caught more fish than we could have brought home with us. The big channel bass being caught across the bay furnish sport par excel- lence for the anglers. These fish hit with a bang and are gone. If you try to stop them you succeed only in losing your line. Hurley in recounting the story of his “lost one” says the bass ran for 150 yards, all the line he had left when he got his strike, and then he had nothing left to play him with and he got away. Anglers, heretofore seeking channel bass have been required o travel long distances. This year they have only to cross the bay to get among them, and it is well worth the trip. The best way is to take the ferry at Annapolis, but boatmen from our side will take fishing parties across if the bay conditions permit. APT. GEORGE M. BOWEN, at Solomons_Island, reports that the hot, weather has materially inter- fered with fishing down his way. He says the best results are now obtained by fishing at night. Bowen also informs us there has been a noticeable increase in the number of trout being caught and that hardheads.are being landed in large numbers. Just a few taylors are being landed at the present time, and they are small, he added. George Knight, at Leonardtown, re- ports good catches of hardheads, trout and rock off Ragged Point, in Herring | Creck_and off Tall Timbers. He says | that 'T. V. O'Connor, chairman of the | United States Shipping Board, caught 50 good sized rock and taylors fishing lnst Sunday off Red Buoy in Brittons ay Lou Kolodin, well known local angler, motored down to Brooms Island yester- day, taking with him L. G. Mitchell, George C. Deyoe and Bob Ehman. Selecting Capt. J. Larson as their guide and boatman, they fished off Peterson bar, in the Patuxent, and landed 36 trout, 12 hardheads, 8 perch, 5 small taylors and about 50 spot. All the spot they returned to the water. Kolodin says the trout ran from 1 to 2% pounds. All the fish were caught between day- break and 7 a.m. when they ran out of bait. This party went ashore for more bait, but when the returnéd the fish had stopped biting. Washington Annapolis Chesapeake Beach... Solomons Island ..
