"A—16 ‘ PORTION OF LINKS | SOON 10 BE PPED Plant Expected to Prove Boon to Golfers During Torrid Summers. BY W. R. McCALLUM. NOTHER Washington golf club is* going in for watering the igirways on its golf course. SPORTS. ) ; periments are about to be|: made at the Columbia Country Club in an installation of a watering sys- tem, and next year certain spots on|- the course will have the benefit of watered fairways, if the plans of the Golf Committee, Chairman Martin R. West, are car- ried through during the coming Whnter, Chevy Chase is the only local golf course which has licked the hot weather bogey through watered fair- ways. All through the hot Summer months, when almost all the local golf |. as explained by|. courses suffered from sparsely covered |- fairways, Chevy Chase golfers played over green stretches of watered grass. And now Columbia is going in for watered fairways, but the installation is not to be made over the entire golf course, according to West. Certain #pots on some of the holes are to be chosen for the initial pipine, and if the fairway watering system works [* out well, it will be installed over the entire course. Ready to Begin Work. “VEST has not yet designated the . holes or the spots where the ‘wajering system will be installed, but he explains authorization has been given to go ahead with preliminary work, and next year may find some of the portions of that fine golf course benefited by the mechanical moisten- ing. The installation of a fairway water- ing system at Chevy Chase has worked out very well, and at small cost to the, club. The original cost ran around, $15,000, and operation costs have been. small, Each golfing member of the club was assessed a small fee to cover; the installation and operating costs, and the golfers have been rewarded by} & course which remained green and. soft during the Summer when other courses were being burned up by the hot sun. U. S. G. A. Favors Courses. 'HEVY CHASE and the Five Farms course of the Baltimore Country: Club are the only layouts in this sec-. tor which have fairway watering sys- tems in use. Neither Chevy Chase nor Columbial| Is in the market for a national cham- pionship, and probably neither clubs will bid for such a tourney, but for many years the United States Golf' Association has chosen only courses with watered fairways for its national title events, a tipoff that the U. S. G. A. regards fairway-watered courses as the only courses fit for big tourna-; ments. Spor.tlight ‘(Continued From Fourteenth Page.) during the week in some of the less thickly populated centers. Arsenal, & London outfit, plays at home on Sat- urdays to 70,000 and 80,000 people week after week. Nothing in base ball ean touch these crowds, although of eourse base ball is an almost daily American attraction. American foot ball approaches it, but the foot ball season in America is three and a half months at its longest. In Great Britain they play foot ball eight months and then retire to practice camps on the Isle of Man, or Guernsey or Jersey. No American foot ball game, our English scout reports, is as exciting as a first-class soccer foot ball match. After the Ohio State-Notre Dame game, we doubt that, but there is po use arguing with a monomaniac. “If you like ice hockey, you prob- ebly would like English foot ball,” the scout continues. “The scoring is the same, the methods of offense and defense about parallel hockey, and the excitement is as continuous. Total scores are about the equal of hockey scores too. The fact is, I don’t know which is a faster game, hockey, the national sport of Canaga, or foot ball, thé most popular sport in l:ngland‘ * Soccer Salaries. PSALARIE? Oh, first-division play- ers average perhaps £600—$3,000 $0 you foreigners—for a season. Some of the stars get a thousand pounds— $5,000, five g's—and one or two get more. Not many, though. Arsenal’s ace kicker might get $8000 or Man- chester City's star left wing might demand $7,000 and get it, but for the most part the pay is mot above $50 or $60 a week for the first division boys. “Naturally, these salaries diminish in the minor leagues. I suspect that $3,000 a year is topping money in the second Scottish division, although the Scots are wild for the game.” The scout paused to take a drink end I had got to the door, my hat in my hand, before he could say another word. “One thing,” he gasped as he put the empty glass down. “I didn't tell you about the internation fixtures. Each country picks her best soccer players and then meets the three other countries in a sort of round robin. Just before I left Wales the English team had been beafen by Ireland, 2 to 1, for the first time in history. Since 1894 th. Irish League had either lost or tied its matches with England, and this year the Irish won. “If you have been {o the Free State or to Dartmouth you know how a place can go crazy about a thing like that. “They very nearly tore the boat apart when the Gaelic heroes landed at Dublin Harbor.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, O’Mahoney Takes a Bride - November 13.—Wedding bells for Danno : O'Mahoney and Julia Esther Burke of this city, seen here beaming at one by Bill Ullman. The inventor of the animal game, who usually can handle himself on the golf course, went out with a couple of pals at Congressional and, thinking he was in good hands, trusted himself to the tender mercies of Bill Wenzel and Jack McCarren. They didn't know how to arrange a match, so they ageed that Wenzel and Ullman should play McCarren and get a handicap, SOMEBODY always is picking on | and then to equalize it, that Ullman | and McCarron should play Wenzel. “Looks as if you are in a spot where you can't lose,” McCarron told Ullman. “Yep,” said Bill, “it looks to me as | if I finally am going to play a game | of golf without losing my shirt.” But it didn't work out that way, for Bill lost. They split him up and Bill's | wails filled the air. He vows he will get even with them in the animal game, but meanwhile there is a grow- irg revolt against Bill's domination of the game. Ullman is a deadly chipper and an equally good putter. No matter how many strokes he takes to reach a green he usually can contrive to get down in one putt, but when he deliber- ately maneuvers for position to reach the edge of the green for a one putt green, which pays off at the rate of 50 cents per man, the other “animal game” players agree that something is wrong. “Why not pay a premium to the man who plays the hole correctly?” they ask. “If he gets on the green at a par four hole in two shots and the other fellows take three or four strokes he should be rewarded.” “Nothing doing,” says Bill, the auto- crat of the animals. “They aren't going to monkey with my game.’ Something close to a record for two rounds of a soggy golf course was set yesterday by Roland Mc- Kenzie, who played two roynds at Congressional in 145 strokes. yie had }the “perfect” round in the miorning, |a sub-par 70, in which he said he didn’t miss a shot, and with a few missed putts in the afternjon he galloped around in 75 for a total of | 145, one above par for the day. The lads who toted golf bags over the old Columbia course 20-odd years ago are going to stage their annual golf party and dinner next Sunday, when members of the Brightwood Caddies’ Association will hold their get-together at Beaver Dam. = Among the men who will play are George Voigt, Cliff McKimmie, Harry Pitt, Earl McAleer, John Baldwin, Mel another, rang on October 26, it has just been revealed.

CLAUDE RIPPY, No. 1 ranking municipal golfer, is going to get a load of whipping in that East Poto- mac_Park turkey tournament. The big Rippy man grabbed himself a 67 yesterday to trounce Barney Welsh in the opening combat and seems on his way to win a turkey. Charlie Ficco, the golfer-printer and medal- ist, turned back Bobby Bowers by 2 up, while young Ernie Garlem, a caddie, licked Bob Babriel on the twentieth hole. At Anacostia Park Ray Fleming of Beaver Dam whipped Bill Seay to advance into the semi-final in the current turkey tourney. C. Loving already has won his way to the final. Up at Rock Creek Park, provided the rain lifts, Uncle Nick Altrock was to match shots today with Telford Gibraski in the semi-final round of the turkey tournament in the woods of the uptown park. Levi Yoder, Indian Spring star, was to meet Ben Kong. Both matches probably will be postponed. Georgetown's freshman golfers, aided by a ringer, broke even with the varsity yesterday at Congres- sional. The ringer was young Johnny Mears, & pro, who used to be in the Congressional golf shop. When the freshmen lacked a man they im- pressed Johnny into service and he did a valiant job in halving the match. Ken Corcoran, Harvey Johnson and Jim Lee played for the varsity, while on the freshman team were Billy Dettweiler, Charles Pettijohn and Mears, SHERWO00D BOOTERS LOSE.

C., November 13.—With a three-stroke ad- vantage, the Long Island com- bination of Willle Klein and Jimmie Hines was the pair for the fleld to overtake today in the second half of the 36-hole Midsouth profes- sional best ball golf tournament. Klein and Hines set the pace during the first 13 holes yesterday with a 65, seven under par, on the remodeled No. 2 course, apparently several shots harder than it was before grass greens supplented the sand putting surfaces. Ralph Minor of New Bers, N. C., and Palmer Mapes of Rocky Mount had a 68 each to be runners-up. The defending team, Tommy Ar- mour of Chichgo and Bobby Cruick- shank of Richmond, Va, and Gene Kunes of Norristown, Pa., the Cana- dian open champion, and Dick Metz of Lake Forest, Ill., posted 69s.

OVEMBER anglers seeking rockfish may witness a sight good for sore eyes by visiting Solomons Island. These fish, all pan size, weighing around 1% pounds, many even smaller, may be landed in large numbers on any calm day. Accompanied by Harry Black, Billy Nishwitz and C. A. Tanner, we paid & flying visit to Solomons Island Mon- day afternoon. The day was excel- lent for fishing. There was no wind and the water was very calm. As we neared Drum Point Light we saw the gulls working close to the water in many plages. The fish were whirling everywhere, at times jumping clear of the water. Capt. Rodney Langley, jr., who had been out all day, had a very large catch, one in the neighborhood of 125 or 150. Capt. Eddy Bowen could be seen hauling in pan rock with great regularity. Other boats appeared to be doing well. We landed 14, but, of course, did not get out until late in the afternoon. Capt. Harry Wood- burn, our guide, said the fish had been striking all day. H!CKORY or Winter shad, also called the mud shad, have made their appearance around Washington in vast numbers, 'way ahead of their scheduled time, as they usually show up during January and February. Lincoln Mackey, who operates the store at the Virginia end of Chain Bridge, informs us that one man snagged 500 of these fish yesterday. They also are being caught along the | Basin, | fish are present at this time of the year. ‘The hickory shad is more boney, if possible, than the herring, but has a | very sweet taste and is highly prized | by some anglers who eat them fresh |and also salt them, the same as is done with the herring. The best | place to land them is in the narrow | part of the river at Chain Bridge. E FEEL perfectly safe in sending anglers to this well-known fish- ing ground for the pan rock. Take along a couple dozen bloodworms and use & Junebug spinner, placing a half & worm on your hook. If you get a strike and don't catch your fish, reel in immediately, because its a 100-to-1 shot that Mr. Fish has taken your bait. The Rock also were striking Sun- day, one boat landing 25 and also 3 sea trout, the trout weighing more than 5 pounds each. A week ago Sun- day we ran into a school of sea trout | Georgetown Channel and in the Tidal | | landed 15, two weighing 4!2 pounds | Officials at the Bureau of Pisheries | are at a loss to understand why these | | which are reported plentiful in West- | ern Maryland and Virginia—pheas- NOVEMBER 13, 1935 and they made their appearance again last Sunday. We are of the opinion that many more of this speriss will be caught by the lucky anglers as the weather gets colder, With the waters around Solomons Island teeming with pan rock, oc- casionally a big fish will be seen breaking water. These “big fellers,” however, are not striking at present, which we think is due to the tem- perature of the water. It is very warm for this time of the year and it will take a week of cold weather to bring it down to the proper temper- ature for big rock fishing. This ap- plies to the Lower Potomac as well as Solomons 'Island. MORTIMER KING, well-known local angler, is one of the few who has not foresaken his old fishing grounds off Rock Point. Mortimer has been visiting this place for the past 20 years and last Sunday with Gus Owens as his companion had a feld day. Pishing off what is known as Lancaster Bar with Capt. Tom Stein 25 their guide, these two anglers landed 152 big greenback white perch, which are the largest of the perch family. King tells us that plenty of rock are breaking water, but few be- ing landed. The rock, he said, are running from 1 to 3 pounds. Anglers using the upper part of Piscataway Creek Monday had very poor luck, only two big-mouth bass being landed. One of the anglers told us the water was badly discolored, owing to rains in that section. On Sunday, however, the fish were hittiag in their usual manner and one party each. JRIDAY will mark the opening of | the shooting season in our neigh- boring States. Starting that day the nimrods may bang away at quail— ants, turkeys, grouse, rabbits, squirrels and woodcock. In Virginia the hunters also may shoot deer and black bear. In Maryland the deer season does not open until December 1 and runs until December 10, both dates in- clusive. Under Federal regulations the shooting of wild fowl opens on November 20 and closes December 19. TH!
