C.;»-MAY . 10,193 “Golfers in Two Big Tourneys This Week : Collegiate Season Is Nearing Close Q2 FAIR SEX SEEK STAR GOLF TROPHY Open 36-Hole Evént at Manor Tomorrow—Chevy Chase Field arilliant. BY WALTER R. McCALLUM. ASHINGTON'S overbur- dened golf tournament schedule moves a step nearer completion this week, with two major tourneys listed, one for each sex. Ninety-two women will start play tomorrow morning over the course of the Manor Club in the 36-hole medal play handicap com- petition for The Star Trophy, which is one of the outstanding tournaments of the year for fair golfers.

VER et the old and historic Chevy Chase Club will start on Tuesday the classic tourney for the Taft and Sherman cups—one of the out- standing tournaments of the year for the maie golfers of this section of the land. The Chevy Chase tourney is far more than merely a Washington event. It has attainzd Nation-wide fame and in past years golfers have come from far distant poiniss to play for the trophies donated by President Taft and Vice Fresident Sherma This event siways attracts o fleld of the finest golfers in this section of the country and a few visitors whose golf fame is more than local. This year's tourney will b* no exception for the established rule of Chevy Chase events and Tues- day and Wednesday will find a large and fine fleld qualifying for the four flights in the event. Two days have been given over to the qualifying round this year, to be played Tuesday and Wednesday. Thursday and Priday will be given over to the match-play rounds. Entries for the tourney, which is strictly an_invitation event, will close Smighs with the club Tournament Com- .ttes, headed by Robert Stead, jr. As always, the course of the Chevy Chase Club has been groomed and put into its finest condition for the tourney and, given good weather, the Chevy Chase event should 2gain take its place as one of the finest of the many golf events held annually about Capital.

They played 36 holes vesterday after- noon, finishing as dusk was falling over the course, with Platt the victor on the thirty-fifth green.

Any person over the age of 14 years p, is required to procure an angler's license to fish in the waters of Mary- land above a point where the tide ebbs ond flows. Cost of license for re dents is $1, and for non-residents, $5. A non-resident is prchibited from fishing in non-tidal waters on Sunday f the laws of the State of their resi- dence prohibits same.

The annual run of herring in nearby waters is about to start. These fish sort of rise and fall with the tides, and any high tide may find them in the river. Anglers seeking these fish usually go to the narrow m of the river just this side of CI Bridge. The fish do not take bait, but are snagged with a three-pronged hook. 'OMPLAINTS have been received from anglers in western Maryland about the new Maryland fishing laws effzctive June 1. These protests oppcse the provisions of a new law making it illegal to fish above tidewater “other than by rod, hook and line held by the hand.” It is pointed out that fishermen in Western Maryland are accustomed to using four or five saplings along 'the bank of the strears as auxiliary fish- ing rods and, according to the leiter of the new law, this would constitute a violation. ‘The younger _players now . | present tournament that “It has been h- | T | o Tecent victory included a 21- | [} Southsrn Amateur at Chat- | Gien C.

ONLY FEW EVENTS OF NOTE AR LEFT Hoyas Have Two Big Dia- mond Tilts, Old Liners Pair of Lacrosse Tests. BY H. C. BYRD. HE end of college athletics, lastic year is concerned, is in sight. Several contests of real local importance remain, but the greater part of the Spring sports schedules already is in the records. Georgetown has three or four more, base ball games, as does Maryland, Catholic Uni- versity is to engage in more dual track meets, and Maryland also has locrosse contests and another track meet. As a matter of fact, were it not for tennis and golf the intercoliegiate sports schedule this week would be rather slim. And to go a little further, if the mainder of the year were omitted, there would not be a whole lot left. with Ohio State and a team from Japan yet remain. It's track team is to com- from ‘these contests, the Blue and Gray has little of importance that remains, es far as what ordinarily are looked upon as the main varsity sperts are concerned. It does have several tennis and golf matches. This week, for in- stance, the golf team goes to Princeton for three matches, one Friday with Holy Cross and two Saturday, morning and afternoon, with Harvard and Dart- mouth. ARYLAND'S biggest games of its Spring sports schedule remain to be played. The base ball game with Navy is the one it had rather win than any other, while the lacrosse con- tests with Hopkins and Navy are the high spots as far as that sport is con- cerned. The only dual track meet loft is that with Hopkins this week. Catholic University winds up its list of ‘meets this week with Delaware. The Brooklanders have been rerresented in no other intercollegiate sport this Most of the local schools have been rather more successful than usual. Georgetown's base ball team is doing work, while Catholic University's track squad is abcut the best all-around ground it has had. Maryland in base ball and lacrosse is along winning its share of games, but is off color in track. As far as this week's schedule is concerned, the first base ball game is listed Wednesday, when Maryland gces to Charlottesville to meet University of Virginia. On the same day Cath- olic University takes a trip to Phila- delphia for & dual track meet with ‘Temple University. 'OMORROW Georgetown and Mary- land tennis teams have matches with Washington and Jefferson and Johns Hopkins, the former here and the latter at Baltimore. Washing- ton and Jefferson stays cver until Tues- day to play George Washington, and the only other contest on this date is the lacrosse game between Maryland freshmen and Severan School. Maryland's freshmen track squad has a dual meet with Galludet Wednesday, besides the two contests already men- tioned for Maryland and Catholic University. 'The lone ocompetition ¢n Thursday is the tennis match in which Georgetown entertains Virginia Poly- technic Institute. Priday the Virginia Military Insti- tute comes here to play Maryland in base ball, and Georgetown ges to Quantico to hook up with the Ma- rines. Lafayette's tennis team is here for a match with town, and Maryland_has Richmond as its oppo- nent in the same sport. Rutgers and Johns Hopkins are to visit College Park in another double bill at Maryland, the former in a la- track meet. they have been anything but successful in track this Spring, figure to wind uj with & victory over their ancient rival. Georgetown’s ball team stays over in Quantico Friday night to play another game Saturday. tholic University winds up its track season with Dela- ware as its opponent at Brookiand and Carnegie Tech visits Georgetown for a tennis match. NY doubt about the oft expressed opinion that the Stat> of Mary- land is the home of the best la- crosse teams in the United States was pretty well set at rest yesterday by the lacrosse match between St. John's and Maryland. It was about as tight a battle as one would have cared to see, and there was a lot of hard riding throughout the game on the part of both teams, and very little difference in their efforts. The teams might meet every day in the week and it would be an even break for every game. But both St. John's and Maryland far outelassed the Northern twelves they met, and apparently there are no other teams except Navy and Hopkins good enough to stand an even chance against either of them. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that these teams In Maryland are going to find it mcreumileye difficult to get games. Word has n going around in the North for the past year to “stay away from those teams in Maryland if you want to win games.” POTOMAC PADDLERS START WORK TODAY Clubmen Will Take Part in Events Here and Out-of-Town—Ernie Millar Is Instructor. for the Potomac Boat| Club's canoe team will begin practice this morning at 11 o'clock in prepara- tion for a program of regattas on the Potomac and on out-of-town waters.
