Stephan was in conference with Maj. Lindsay McD. Silvester, U. S. Army instructor as- | signed to the division staff. on the pro- posed training program for the stafl at this year's training camp. It was announced that Gen. Stephan's orig- inal intentions were to carry on the various problems from where they were Jeft at the end of last year's camps, | that is, to move the division by rail | marching and truck to the proposed site of this year's camp at Camp Albert | C. Ritchie, and there engage in war problems s was done each yvear. It was announced, however, that through the co-operation of the States of Maryland and Virginia, it has been decided to have in camp the first week the brigade staffs for the purpose of ! command post exercises. This, it was said, will reverse the two weeks’ train- ing as had been proposed but will form a very interesting progrem. This pro- gram will be made public following its submission to the commanding general, 3rd Corps Area, at Baltimore, Md., for his approval. | The brigades and commanders to be included in the command post exer- | cises are 58th Infantry Brigade, Mary- dand, commanded by Brig. Gen. Mil- ton A. Reckord, who is also command- | ing general of the Maryland National | Guard; 91st Infantry Brigade, Virginia, commanded by Brig. Gen. Samuel Gar- diner Waller, who is also adjutant gen eral of Virginia: 54th Field Artiller Brigade, Maryland, commanded by Brig. Gen. James G. McLanahan. Corpl. James R. Nolan, Company B 121st Engineers. has been ordered to report to Col. John W. Ochmann, presi- cially planned for them, where they | could have all of their drills indoors. | At the present time they are quartered in unsatisfactory structures in various parts of the city, being forced to move quired for other purposes. ‘The main force of the Guard now is located in the old National Hotel at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, in which there are no adequate pro- visions for indoor drills for large units. The only time that they can have drills with the large units is in fair weather, when a nearby public park is used as a parade ground. While the members of the Guard would like to have a new building con- structed particularly to suit their needs. they nevertheless would be satisfied with a building already up, if it is large enough and has a_ drill hall. They have for some time had their attention focused on the old Pension Building in Judiciary Square, the first floor of which would be suitable for a drill hall. They have hope also that if the Gen- eral Accounting Office. now located there. is provided with a new building in the Avenue Triangle that this build- ing will be turned over to the Guard. not only for drills purposes, but,as a meeting place for veteran organizations. The Drum and Bugle Corps of the | 260th Coast Artillery will participate in the massing of the colors service which is to be held Memorial Sunday under auspices of the Military Order of the World War.

A. at 2 /-\-T}HE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, MAY 21, 1933—PART FOUR. Bass Worth More As Anglers’ Prey Than Market Fish HERE are more than 10.000,000 anglers in the United States, ac- cording to Ed C. Kemper, chair- | man of the Bass Committee of the League, a recent radio speaker for The | Star’s Rod and Stream column. | “And by angler,” Kemper emphasized. | “we mean one who fishes for sport and |for the enjoyment of the out of doors. which constitutes an essential part of his fishing trip.” Leading up to the statement that the black bass is worth more to a State as a game fish than a table commodity, and should be conserved, Kemper said: ““When our 10.000,000 anglers have more leisure and their numbers are increased | by others who must find outdoor rec- reation, a tremendous demand will be | placed upon our fields and streams, and upon the game and fish which still survive. “We must take steps now to meet this coming demand because it is to the ad- vantage of our country to do so. A| failure to anticipate this demand will result in disappointment to those who seek the out-of-doors, and in destruc- tion to the game and game fish that are not assured of protection against | undue exploitation. “And there is where the black bass comes in. At present this fish is being exterminated by market sale as food fish in 19 States of the Union. Through public sentiment, through the leader- ship of the Izaak Walton League of | America and through the Conservation | Commissions, immediate steps should | be taken to secure legislation to protect | the black bass from market sale in every State. “The black bass cannot survive as a | source of outdoor enjoyment to the people and as a source of income to those who cater to the angling fra- | ternity so long as there is a price on his head—that price being the price per pound on the fish market counter. The black bass is 10 times more valuable to | any State from any point of view—be | it economic, recreational or sentimental —when classified and protected as a game fish than when sold as food fish.” Y.

HAT with Washington boating authorities predicting that more cruiser-type craft will churn the waters of the his- toric Potomac this year than, perhaps, ever before, and a season chock full of week end trips in prospect, a sug- gestion or two would seem to be in or- der, especially for the benefit of yacht- ing neophytes. The necessity of cornering and pin- ning down a veteran of nearby water- ways was apparent. The old lasso looped around the shoulders of Samuel just as well tell Bobby Jones how to use a putter as to yachtman where to navigate. But there are new ones, true enough. “I cast my vote for Tangier Island, 135 miles by water, a great fishing ground, and as ro- mantic and quaint a place as you'd want to lay for. I've made the trip _ half a dozen times, 4 and the old boat (a nifty 38-footer tag- ged Laura) will be headed there again this Summer. I don't kmow just how interested other boat owners will be in our jour- neys, but here’s how we make 'em.

We next shoot for the “Reaches” and pass Upper Cedar Point, Lower Cedar Point and Colonial Beach FEW more warm days and the fishing season will be in full swing. Not anly the hardhead, but sea trout and blue fish are being taken on hook and line, a con- dition that is almost unheard of in May. Our reports last week from Wachapreague, Va.; Crisfield, Tilghman Island, Seaside Park or Chesapeaks Beach, Ridge, Md.; Point Lookout. Piney Point, St. Georges Island, Blackistones Island and Rock Point, all indicated that the best fishing within the memory of the present generation is at hand. ‘The Potomac River lately has been a little high and discolored.

AM] P AN PAL 2041 tomac and Shenandoah are muddy at Harpers Ferry, and I think most of the heavy mud coming downstream is from the Shenandoah River. Be that as it may, anglers are snagging a few herring around Chain Bridge. White perch are being caught in goodly num- | &3 bers along the shores of the river, both | above and below the bridge, and Joe Fletcher reports a number of pan rock- fish caught near his boat house. I The river in its present condition is just right for snagging shad. A few are being caught above Chain Bridge. but not by the snagging meth- od. They are being illegally taken i dip nets. Naturally, the men using th- nets seck the most difficult places to reach, and this, perhaps, accounts for the reason that they are not appre- hended by officers of the law. The locust trees are in bloom, and river men say that when these trees are in bloom the rockfish are in the Po- tomac around Washington. T'S an {ll wind that blows no good In the lower Potomac in salt water. daily rains have muddied the water and put a stop to fishing temporarily Capt. B.

Senator Robinson of Arkansas was a successful angler, using the Patuxent River below Benedict on a recent out- . but Col. Willlam T. Chantland said that last Sunday 30 boats were out on the river below Benedict and that none of them caught any fish. Broomes Island reports that hard- heads are being landed on Gatton's Bar, just off the island, and that an occasional trout is being caught on hook and line. ~APT. F. F. WILLOUGHBY al Ridge, Md., on the bay just above Scotland Beach, in a letter says: “As far as blues are concerned, there was_never known to be such a catch at this season of the year in the nets, also salmon or gray sea trout. Large numbers of rockfish were caught last Tuesday in the nets that averaged 20 pounds each. The blues weighed from 4 to 5 pounds. Everybody here thinks it will be a wonderful season for anglers.” A. H. G. Mears at Wachapreague, Va., says the fish are running strong and that he landed 40 trout in one day The blues, he said, have made their appearance i large numbers. Ollie Atlas in a letter received from his boat- man at Wachapreague said, “Just a line to let you know the fish are here. Plenty of big trout are being caught, and just to show that we are really catching them, I am sending a 9- pound trout to your friend, Charlie Cohen.” Capt. Ed Garvin at Tilghman Island, on the Eastern Shore, directly across the bay from Chesapeake Beach, in- forms us that fishing has “started up pretty good.” Capt. Garvin says he will charge $5 for a morning or afternoon fishing trip and $9 for an all-day trip, from early morning until as late as anybody wants to fish, with as many as desired in the party. Capt. Noah Hazzard reports he had out with him the other day Joe Koenig, R. G. Martin and R. H. Yeahman. who landed 14 hardheads between Chesa- peake Beach and Plum Point for a total weight of 301, pounds. Capt. Hazzard will operate his boats from the beach during the remainder of the fishing season. Just to show that fish are run- ning in the bay around Nigger Head Buoy, Capt.

RGANIZED in 1903 by a group of water-loving youths with a tiny fleet of sailing craft, and nearly disrupted three years ago through a misfor- tune which well might have proved fatal to almost any boat club, the Corinthian Yacht Club today is Washington's largest yachting or- ganization with a membership of more than 150 and & fleet of about 125 yachts. Its original anclorage, 30 years ago, was at the old Cumberland boat house in Georgetown. A few years after its start the club was incorporated and anchorage and club house establiched on the Wash- ington Channel. Still later a site was obtained on the Virginia shore at the South end of the Highway Brid, Corinthian, Oldest D. C. Yacht g s o smmoe et Club, Has Loyal Membership | .

The chances are the four boats will not compete, but it is tending to create ccnsiderable | early interest in the coming classic. In the Fall of 1929 the club re- ceived a severe shock. The Fed- eral Government took possession of the grounds and harbor as a part of the Mount Vernon boulevard. With- out a home, its fleet scattered, with- out anchorage and property, the club had only the abiding loyalty of its members. Only one site really ap- pealed to the club members—its present site next to the Army War College—and so, through the sale of bonds to members, a large sum of money was raised and the property bought. By Midsummer a safe an- chorage was provided. Today there is something like 2,000 feet of new wharves and all facilities, including & marine railway. Ross L. Fryer was the first com- modore, serving in 1903 and 1904. He still is a member of the club. The present officers are Dr. Roy Ly- man Sexton, commodore; R. B.

Luther as | guide and, safe from rough water if a storm arose, tifed their luck. It was plenty good. According to Nishwitz, they couldn't help catching fish. They | returned with 60 of the largest hard- | head they ever had landed and said the | waters behind Hoopers Island are filled with blue, the natives averring they never have seen 50 many before. With- in a mile and a half from the fishing grounds there is a wonderful old South- ern home, where meals are furnished for 50 cents and true Southern hos- pitality shown all visitors. ‘There is only one drawback to this place, which is its inaccessibility. Un- less one owns his own boat he will have to go_to Solomons Island to ob- tain cne. Capt. George Bowen al Solo- mons Island informs me he will take anglers to the fishing grounds behind Hocpers Island for $12. Capt. Bowen also says he is going to talk to the boatmen at the island and see what kind of a reduction will be made this season in the price of boats. The boats fishing in the Patuxent last week end returned with catches of from 10 to 15 hardhead and, with good weather in sight, he expects plenty of fishing, as the nets are catching many blues and trout along with hardhead. thing in its power to get the R boatmen to reduce their prices this season. It has already received assurances of reductions in prices at | points in the lower Potomac River and |from Ed Gardin at Tilghman Island | | on the Eastern Shore. One of our readers writes the following: “Don't you think the owners of fish- boats might reduce their prices a bit? Everybody has been cut in wages and salaries. I feel that the amount asked for fishing boats might well come down & bit, too. “At Benedict when for some five hours one afternoon the owner of the boat asked $7.50. I think $5 would have been enough. At that price, with bait, the fishing trip is pretty expensive. But why isn't $1 an hour a fair price | for the owner of a boat in these times. |1t was $5 for four hours, I think. Now I think 85 for five hours is sufficient. | | Say $5 for half a day and.$10 for a whole . Personally I wish I could earn §1 an hour. I would feel much to Benedict i the owner of bost had » nstead of $7.50." OD AND STREAM is doing every- | | | the island. hibited in 1620 by Welshmen.

First, it proved that it is best conducted on a handicap basis. Secondly, it showed that the handicapping system used for the first time was sound. Thirdly, it proved | that over a long race the small Class A or nd B engines are more than a match in reliability for the larger and more powerful Class C and F motors. ‘Thirty of the 65 outboards and three | 125-cubic-inch hydroplanes finished—by far the best showing since the event ‘was inaugurated back in 1923. | HERE is not a telephone telegraph on the island.

Aside from the World’s Fair, the opening of the II- linois _ Waterway, which links the g]re:;’sli;kes with e ippi Riv- er and the Gulf of Mexico, is e‘;:,;ecud to prove a valuable stimulus to motor boating in the Midwest. It is a vast, potential cruising ground of some 15,000 miles of navigable rivers and completes a_ continuous 3,300-mile channel from Chicago to New Orleans, providing ac- cess to the endless miles of canalized rivers in the Mississippi Valley. t also provides Eastern boat own- ers with a direct entrance into the Mis- sissippi Valley for the first time.

The inter- national 12-litre class champion, An- tonio Becchi. has driven a supercharged boat at 69.08 miles an hour. The fast- est 1-mile mark on an American Gold Cup craft, for which superchargers arc barred, is 62.69 miles per hour. Even the European 6-litre craft, which also are cntered in the Lake Garda races. have made fastel time than Gold Cup ts, one having gone as fast as 65.69. Should the Louisa catch the wake of the European boats it is intimated a proposal will be presented to the Gold Cup contest board asking for an in- crease in the power limit of the class to 12 litres. Should this come about, Washington, perennial host to Gold Cup craft in Sentember, will benefit.
