SP ORTS. THE SOUTHPAW- STARS - OF IS LASS FEW Washington Youth Is Gifted| With Touch Seldom Owned by Unorthodox. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OT in, many years has the amateur championship, to | start on August 31, at tk Beverly Country Club, nzai | Chicago, seen a southpaw golf?ri from any section of the country with so many claims to a place in the championship flight as has Tommy Bones, the star portsider | of the Columbia Country Club. Southpaw golfers are nct un-| known to the championship, but pone of the lads who swing from the port side has gone anywhere in the simon pure title chase. Barring Brice Evans, the New Eng- land portsider, who passed his zenith | some years ago, the championship has | not seen a southpaw golier of any class in action in many years. But Tommy Bones is different. A youngster of 21 or 22 years of age, he has that indefinable something usually called touch, which enables eny man who has it to rise to heights unattain- able by those who simply swing at the ball and hope it will go where it is aimed. Tommy probably will not qual- ify at Chicago. Few golfers do on their first essey at the championship, but if he dces qualify the man who meets him in the first match play | Younds will see a southpaw who has something fow left-handed golfers ever acquire. So far in his short career as a tournament golfer Tommy Bones has| | shown himself to be an in-and-outer. | ©One 'day he will shoot a brilliant round and the next round he will be far up above 80. But he is capabie of shoot- ing any man’s golf course in 70 any time he starts, and that is something most _ right - hand- ers would like to think possible. For gome reason left- handed golfers do not seem to play as well as those who swing in the orthodox ~manner. Most of the big Pointers on Golf BY SOL METZGER.

J., July 31.—Cali- fornians held a virtual monopoly on contending places in the forty- fourth Seabright invitation tour- nament today as play went into the final stages. Native Californtans filled all the singles brackets, with John Hope Doeg, national champion, who learned his tennis at Newark now, pitted against Ellsworth Vines of Pasadena for the men’s title, and Mrs. Helen Wills Magdy of San Francisco matched with Helen Jacobs of Berkeley for the women's crown. In women's doubles California holds three of the four last places, the,sur- viving teams being those of Josephine Cruickshank of Santa Anna and Mrs. Marjorie Gladman Van Ryn, a native of California, who now lives in Phila- | detphia, and Mrs. Lawrence A _Harper of Oakland and the Baroness Giacomo | Levi of New York.

There may be something in the muscular make-up of human beings that forbids golfing skill to those ‘who do not swing in the orthodox man- ner. But so far Tommy Bones has demonstrated that he is not bound by | the restrictions that have hitherto held back other southpaw golfers. Tommy may not the best lefthander in Wachington, but he is close to the top in any southpaw or national—and he can hold his own with most right-handers. OWN at Richmond last Tuesday Bones started with a great burst of speed. His spoon shot at the djfficult first hole left him only a four- foot putt for a 3, but his ball cut a divot out of the green as it hit and he had to putt over this. Naturally the ball hopped off the line. He then got two birdies in a row and was 2 under par for the first three holes. Trouble aplenty came to him later, but still he was good enough to qualify where gof- | ers like M. B. Stevinson, Alex Knapp | and Harry Parr failed to make the| grade. | A very lomg hitter from the tee, Bones also is a fine putter. His specialty is making birdies, and unitke most southpaws he is consistently good with the mashie and mashie niblick. He has one fault common to many younger golfers—that of underclubbing himself and pressing a club too short | to make the distance. Experience will teach him that he cannot press any club, particularly on a championship eourse. ASHINGTON will have three en- trants in the champlonship and of the three a good many folk will be watching the progress of Tommy Bons, the southpaw. Roand MacKenzie, ‘Washington's star amateur for o many years, qualified in the Pacific Coast trials and is registored from the Colum- bia Country Club. John . Shorey of Kenwood also will be in there for the first time in the amateur championship. But of them all, one of the most in- teresting to watech will be Tommy Bones. Put him on a hot streak out there in Chicago and he may go some- where. For in and the time for the playing of the champlonship early in September, Tommy Is going to absorb a lot of common sense golf from Fr:d McLeod— the man who taught him to play.

Trout, croaker or | hardhead, bluefish, spot and white | perch, with an occasional black drum | being landed, are keeping these anglers in high spirits. The largest catch of trout, 96 in number, was made in the mouth of the Potomac, off Piney Point, recently. The next largest catch of trout, 70 in number, some weighing 6% pounds, was landed off Solomons Is- land in the bay, last week‘end. Fish- |ing in salt water is now at its height. From the Eastern Shore large catches | are still being reported, but these have been mostly hardhads, althopgh some sizable trout have 'been caught. IOME anglers fishing across the bay on the Fastern Shore secure their boats and motors across from West River, Herring Bay or some other point. These are all good-sized ships and able to stand & lot of rough water. It takes very courageous and able seamen to cross the bay in a 16-footer. Recently Samuel Peach, Dr. Douglas White and Fitzhugh Bussenger put out from Plum Point. They used a 16-foot boat with an outboard motor and a sail. When they were halfway across, a storm over- took them, damaging their motor so it would not ‘run, and the wind tore the sail from the mast. They were helpless except that the wind, which was from the southwest, finally swept them to the shore on the lower end of Tilghman’s Island. They said at times the waves seemed to be 24 feet high. They spent Friday night and Saturday morning getting their boat in shape. First the motor had to be repaired, and then the sail had to be replaced. . They fished cff Tilghman's Island Light House and their ecatch made . them forget all about gheir trying ex- perience. A laige sllvlnlled tub was filled with harchesd and a few trout. the return trip to Plum Point was made without excitement. N NOTHER large catch of trout was ! mads by Mr. and Mrs. O. C. Pope, | J.

Bob Wilson, who writes about fishing and speaks their language, with Frank Gatewood, fishing off Point-No-Point, landed 100 trout and a large number of hardheads. “Pish, particularly trout, are biting better at Solomons than they have for years,” writes in W. Preston Lore. “Over the past week end, in three fishing trips, I caught a total of 560 pounds. Of this number about 75 per cent were trout weighing from 2’2 up to 7% pounds.
