B—6 8 District Amateurs Will Try Steel Against A Fine “Mess” of Blues Caught on Southwest Middles PAID CLAN LIKELY 10 HAVE NO CINGH Twenty-Man Team Contesi: on September 23 May Be Made Annual Event. BY W. R. McCALLUM. ITH the full approval of President Tom Belshe of the District Golf Associa- tion, plans are in the mak- ing for a links affair to be staged on September 23 at the Washington Golf and Country Club that may become an annual affair, to determine the supremacy of the leading amateurs of the city against the professional golf- ers at clubs about Washington. For several years there has been conversation of & match between an all-star team of amateurs and a team of pros drawn from all the golf clubs about Washington, with the pros to be chosen by the P. G. A. here or by | a committee chosen for that purpose | and with the amateurs to be selected on their records. So far the matter has only been in the conversational stage but now it appears it will come off this year at Washington, for Tom Belshe, ever on the lookout for some- thing new and interesting in the game, met wholeheartedly the suggestion of | Chairman James L. Tracy of the ‘Washington Club Golf Committee that it be played over the Washington course on the Monday preceding the District amateur championship at a time when all the better amateurs will be practicing and when the pros will be free to play. Twenty-man Teams Planned. BOUT 20 men will play on each side, and, as the matter now stands, all the lads who qualified sec- tionally here for the national amateur | championship will be on the amateur team. There will be no trouble get- ting amateurs to play. Rather the difficulty will be to find pros to play | them, for there are not many more than 20 pros around Washington who would be eligible for such a contest | if the Middle Atlantic P. G.

Over his past six rounds Roland has scored & brace of 63s, & pair of 695, 8 70 and | /.0 ‘whnije Al Treder of Manor shot & 71. The 71, which is one better than par, came yesterday. Roland is stroking the ball better than in many months and is putting with the usual accuracy. As a kid wonder of a decade back he was one of the boldest and best putters we have ever seen. That habit of banging | for the cup has returned to him, and he is bowling them in from every angle. IMMY THOMPSON, Burning Tree's fair-haired product, who finished second to Sam Parks in the recent national open championship, is to appear here in an exhibition match on Labor day with Henry G. Picard of Hershey, Pa. The Thompson- Picard duo will oppose Al Houghton and George Diffenbaugh, Indian Spring pros, at Indian Spring. From Hershey, where he is playing in the current open tourney, Hough- ton snnounced that he had completed srrangements for the match, the first of a series of exhibition affairs which will be played at the Four Corners course. Subsequently Houghton will secure Sam Parks for another match, and possibly Hagen and Sarazen. Jimmy Tbompson really laid the foundation of his great game at Burn- | ing Tree, where he served as alde to Wilfred Thompson, his daddy, when | the latter was the Burning Tree pro. | Since those days Jimmy has attained international fame as the biggest belter of a golf ball in the game. Picard was the leading money winner of the Winter circuit. The match will start about 2 p.m.,, September 2. ANXIOUS to keep its winning slate intact after three straight vic- tories over strong teams, Beaver Dam has named its strongest outfit for the team match with Manor at Manor Sunday. G.

IGHLAND, N. C., August 23.— Bobby Jones, retired world champion of golf, is feeling “fine” after his recent appen- diclitis operation, and you have his own word for it. Sojourning with his family st their new cottage, Bobby plays golf occa- sionally and shoots skeet (left handed) nearly every day. There was belief that Bobby’s “old touch” about the greens had been bothered in recent years by the ailing sppendix, and some inquiries were made regarding the possibility of im- provement of the game of the man who had a brilliant career in com- petitive golf for 22 years. “Well, don’t you think—and majybe hope—that the elimination of the ap- pendix will tend to bring back the old touch sbout the greens?” he | “I don't think it will have a darned thing to do with my putting,” Bobby replied hastily. “It may cut down my consumption of paregoric, how- ever.” “How are you playing?” he was “Not badly,” was the typical Bobby answer. “I'm putting better, but haven't played much. My game hasn't improved much. You must remember I was putting better before I went to the hospital.” Bobby said his plans for the future were the same @s in the last few years. “So far as I know now,” he said, “my only competition will be in the Augusta national tournament next Spring.” His statement, “so far as I know now,” left an impression that some day Bobby might return to active SSTRAGHT OFF THE VEE | by W.R.MECALLUM IVE consecutive rounds of 70 or | It's getting so | p around the Capital quite capable of that Calggett Stevens, Roland’s aide, | | high and low board diving champion; | Robert Shipley, Pred Hodgson, Alex McMillan, D.

Diegel's 68, and 11 other subpar scores in the first round of the $4,000 Hershey open golf championship. Approximately 140 golfers faced the 18-hole test the veteran Philadelphia pro met yesterday with a sparkling, 33—35—68, one over the course record. Henry Picard, the gallery favorite, carded a disappointing 38—39—77.

EDNESDAY afternoon also was good for anglers visiting South- west Middles. The largest catch f the day was landed by Roger Fowler and Len Orem. Fishing with Capt. Raub Drury, they made a remarkable catch of 84 blues, the largest weighing 10 pounds. All were landed chum- ming. Other boats' trolling did not get many fish, according to Fowler. A good catch of much less in num- ber, but about the same size, was landed on Southwest Middles the same afternoon by Ralph Kinnaird and Roland King. These two intrepid anglers, using a Japanese feather, landed nine blues and lost as many. Again, we say, there is no better fishing grounds in Chesapeake Bay than Southwest Middles. Frequently not a fish is seen on the surface, but they are there just the same and are landed trolling and chumming Bluefish and sea trout are beginning to run off Tall Timbers in the lower Potomac.

Just as we passed the light we | noticed an unusually large number of | sea gulls diving into the water close | |to shore. We knew something was | | attracting them and thought it might be a school of blues feeding in shal- low water. As we neared the shore we could see the fish breaking in all directions, great big fellows, but it was not until we had the first fish along side the boat that we discovered they were not blues, but & big school of rockfish. There must have been hundreds of | them, perhaps thousands, and some of them seemed to be actually walk- | ing on their tails along the shore in water not a foot deep. Of course, we | had to proceed carefully in order not | to run aground. After many sound- | | ings we found we could get within 30 | or 40 feet of shore and then the fun began. | Horace J. Donnelly, jr, who had joined our party at Bowen's wharf, landed the first rock, & beauiy weigh- ing 6 pounds, and then we all b:gu;‘ to get strikes, landing rock from 2 to | 7 pounds.

Sea trout are also being caught and the hardhead still run- ning large. Rockfish now are being caught in fairly large numbers off Tall Timbers and next month should vide wonderful sport. i Capt. Aubrey Shephard at Gunston Cove reported that the water is per- fectly clear and that the anglers are getting some good size bass.
