SPORTS. THE EVENING " National Open Golf Tests on Today. 16 ARE T0 QUALIFY FOR TITLE TOURNEY Some Stars Slated for Com- petition on 20 Courses Throughout Nation. ! By the Associated Press. EW YORK, May 15—More than 800 professionals and amateurs, including a scattering few of game's top-notchers, swung into action on 20 courses today in the |nnual sectional qualifying round | for the national open golf cham- pionship which will be played at Chicago June 8, 9 and 10. By nightfall, all of the 116 places in bpen still vacant were to be filled. fThirty- five club-wielders already have won their places in the field at Chi-| the | <« | HE Potomac is muddy at Har- pers Ferry and around Washing- | ton—not only muddy, but 12 | feet or more above normsl. H Despite this, C. M. Capper at Chain Bridge informs us an unusually large number of white perch are being caught. The majority of the anglers are baiting with plain garden worms, but those using the old reliable bloodworms :reh reported to be catching the larger ish. One day recently two small colored boys landed 400 perch and sold prac- tically their entire catch. Others fish- ing in the river between Fletcher's | Boat House and Chain Bridge landed | numerous perch. These fish have been |in the swift waters of the river for some time. When hit by the flood current they made their way to the small coves for protection along the | shores, all the way up to the outlet of | the Dalecarlia Reservoir. The yellow back herring are in the |river in great numbers between the Three Sisters and Fletcher's Cove. ‘These fish have been hanging around Isince last week trymng to get further upstream to deposit their spawn. If the river does not clear within the next several days these fish will deposit their spawn on the rocks and other places in the river where they are now congregated and leave for their homes cago. Thirty-three of them, including | most of the country’s most famous | stars, automatically gained berths by finishing among the first 30 and ties | in the 1932 cpen. The other two, Willie Hunter and Neil White, California State amatcur champion, qualified in the Los Angeles secticnal qualifying round held last Thursday, four days in advance of in salt water, to be followed by another run known as glut herring.

Among the more prominent stars | slated for competition in the sectional | tests today were Horton Smith, Chick | Evans, Jock Hutchison, Jack Westland, Johnny Revolta, George Dawson, Abe Espinosa and Johnny Lehman in the| Chicago district: Johnny Farrell, Cyril | ‘Walker. Gene Homans, Johnny Golden, | fTony Manero, Willie Klein, Joe Turnesa | snd Walter Kozak in New York; | Roland MacKenzie in Denver; Al Es-| inosa and Maurice McCarthy in Cleve- | and; Charley Hall, Sam Perry, Ernie Ball and Charley Yates at Atlanta; Roland Hancock at Boston: Gus More- land at Dallas; Johnny Manion at St. Louis; Emmett French at Philadelphia; ‘Al Watrous and Charley Kocsis at De- troit; and Lester Bolstad and Jock Hendry at St. Paul. LAYING over a course made soft by recent rains, 37 professional and 1 lone amateur from five States in the South Atlantic territory struggled today for five places in the sectional| qualification rounds for the National Open Golf Championship at the Manor Club. Probability of a tie for the last place loomed as the contestants, all evenly matched, fought for the privilege of playing in the championship proper. Outstanding professionals entered in- cluded Henry G. Picard of Charleston, B. C.. co-holder with Al Houghton and Al Watrous of the Midsouth Open title; Houghton of Kenwood. the Maryland State Open champion; Fred McLeod of | Columbia, former National Open cham- pion, and Fred Hyatt of Char- lotte, N. C. It was expected that scores of 148 or better would be needed to land among the five qualifiers, and that some one of the pros would get “hot™” and score down around 142, which is | par for two rounds of the Manor Club| layout. 3 George Slingerland, tall professional from Greensboro, N. C. played the hazardous “woods” nine yesterday in 33 strokes, only to take 40 on the longer last nine, which is not so treacherous #s the first half of the journey. All the local pros, with only one ex- teption, were entered in the tourney. Five Washington pros qualified last year at Congressional for the cham- pionship at Fresh M | been collecting half a million and on some nights less than that amount. Leach believes that from now on the run of shad will increase. He said that | the tides were in favor of the fish ad- vancing upstream and he expects a good run of these fish within a week or ten days. H. G. MEARS at Wachapreaguc, « Va. informs us that the trout boats returning with catches of from 15 to 20 trout each, the largest to date weighing 10 pounds, and the second tipping the scales at 7!, pounds. One channel bass was landed weighing 35 pounds, he said, also a number of blues. He said the prospects are bright for a good run of fish. Capt. Ed Garvin at Tilghmans Is- | 1and reports large catches of hardhead, | while not getting many fish with hock and line, are returning with catches of from 12 to 15 hardhead per boat. It is his opinion few warm days will bring even better fishing than last year. Th. hardhead at present are being caught in Harrisons Creek, he said. Capt. Gourley Elliott at Broomes Island reports that hardhead are now being caught off the island on what is known as Gatton's Bar. ‘OE PACYNA, a local angler, fished last week from the shore just below Plum Point and landed a larg? number of hardhead. George Knight at Leonardtown tells us that only anglers of his town are | fishing there these days, and that they are catching hardhead and trout oft River Point and Blackistones Island. | He said that Charles Loose of Piney Point on last Monday landed 21 hard- head and one trout weighing 2!: |pounds. Also that L. B. Hunt- | ington fishing off Point Lookout on | what is known as S. W. Middle in the Bay, landed a good number of blues the Lower Potomac have agreed to re- duce materially the price charged | anglers. | capt. C. H.

More anglers would gladly enjoy a day’s fishing if they knew where to go. The possibility that a 4-foot shark or a 50-pound channel bass may grab the hook while one is awaiting a more gentle nibble, gives salt water angling a thrill that's all its own, and repays for the extra trouble and expense in reaching the better fish- ing areas. Fishing in salt water is conducted by means of & hook and line either from rod and reel, hand line, or troll< ing. A light rod and reel to carry | from 100 to 150 yards of No. 12 thread line is suitable for sea trout, blues and | all fish weighing 4 or 5 pounds, while for channel bass and larger fish a heavier line is required, say a number 15 or 18 thread. To get the test of a line muitiply the number of threads by two. For example, a No. 12 thread line will test, dead weight, 24 pounds. Fishing in salt water in this section of the country extends from about May 1 to well into November. The best fishing is obtained during the Summer and early Fall. The stage cf the tide determines in most places the time of the day or night for the best angling. that the period of an hour before to an hour after the slack tide is the best, hult there are many exceptions to this rule. The best known fishing places in this section of the country in salt wa- ter are: Wachapreague, Va.. located cn the ocean side of the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Ocean City, Md., on the ocean side of that State. Lynnhaven Inlet, Ocean View, Old Point Comfort, Newport News, York Spit Light, lo- cated at the mouth of the York River, and Pcint Lookout, Scotland Beach and Ridge, Md., at or near the mouth of the Potomac River. Farther up the Potomac the anglers will find Piney Point, Tall Timbers, Leonardtown, River Springs, Rock Point, Colonial Beach and Morgantown. N the Patuxent River, at its mouth, is located Solomons Island, and farther upstream is Broomes Is- land and Benedict. On our side of the bay the anglers will find Cove Point, Plum Point, | Chesapeake Beach, Herring Bay, West | River, Thomas Point Light and An-| napolis. | Across the bay on the Eastern Shore there are a lot of fine fishing grounds, among them being Reck Hall and Love | | Point, a favorite region of the striped bass; Claiborne, St. Michaels, Tilghman and Sharps Island, Oxford (fishing center near the mouth of the Choptank River), Cambridge and Crisfield. Cris- field is a well known sea-food center cn the Eastern Shore and offers access to the fishing grounds located in Tan- gler and Pocomoke Sounds. At Wachapreague and Ocean City and other places along the Maryland and Virginia ccasts, squid and crab are used almost exclusively as bait. In the bay and its tributaries the fisher- men will be found using one cf the following baits: Hard crabs, peelers and | soft crabs, shrimp, blcodworms, and, last but not least, the alewives, menhaden, which is said to be the principal item of diet for the game fish in salt water.

Keep the arms close to the body throughout the swing, just as Johnny Farrell is shown doing in the sketch. That is just common sense. You dcn’t do much pivoting when pitch- ing. You have the weight evenly on both feet. So the body has no chance to get out of position. Why then, allow the arms to be loose? If you keep them close to the body both going back and com- ing down they will keep the club- head in the same arc. It will come into the ball at the right spot. ‘Take notice of your arms when you are addressing the ball. Observe how far apart the elbcws are. At the top of your pitch shot also watch to see how far apart they ere. Their relation then should be the same as at address.
