C—2 CHEVY CHASE NOW HAS TESTING PAIR Columbia Also Has Two of Major Caliber—Others Have Them, Too. BY W. R. McCALLUM. OCAL golf clubs are going in for water hazards in a bigger way than ever before, and it isn't all gravy to the boyc who skid their iron shots instead of hitting 'em plumb up to the objective. Columbia now has two major water holes in its sixteenth and seventeenth, and lately Chevy Chase, long a course without a real water hole, has come along with two changzes thai make water-hazard carries an absolute ne- cessity. In past years there have been little water hazards in front of the eleventh and fourteenth holes, but this year the Golf Committee, headed by Rob- ert Stead, jr., has had these hazards widened, until today they are real trouble-makers for the gents who don't have enough carry on the ball. In other years the ditch at the fourteenth was so shallow that fre- quently the ball could be played from the water. The eleventh also was shallow, but today both these hazards are wide and brimming full with water. No ball which hits near 'em will escape trouble. Columbia Well Watered. ‘V’ATER has made Columbia quite a golf course. The shot at the sixteenth isn't. by any means, the toughest in the world, nor the long- est, but it is quite a shot to hit that green. Likewise the shot from the back tee at the seventeenth is quite a golf poke. more than a small wallop to get over | the big hazard that stretches right across the line of play. Washington, Congressional, Beaver Dam, Manor, all have water hazards now. If there's one bit of trouble in the game that makes for interesting | shot-making it is water. Out at the Washington Golf and | Country Club today a field of some | 30 woman golfers were playing in the | first round of the Muncaster Trophy tourney, a 36-hole medal-play affair, which will wind up tomorrow. Members of the Middle Atlantic Association of Greenkeepers will | gather at Congressional next Monday to play in a flag tournament and talk over their mutual troubles. Muny Play Starts Monday. ‘VITH more than 75 players already | entered, that coming public links championship at East Potomac Park next Monday and Tuesday, shapes up as the biggest such affair ever held in ‘Washington. Claude Rippy will defend his title and the first four scorers will go to San Francisco to represent the Na- tional Capital in the national cham- pilonship. The schedule calls for 36 holes each on Monday and Tuesday. Entries will close tomorrow at East Potomac and Rock Creek Parks, and pairings will be made immediately. Last year Rippy, Bobby Burton Pat Axtell and Ted Burrows qualified from Washington. Rippy went to the final, where Pat Abbott licked him. HOMERS, SLAB WINS LOW 4 5Circuit Clouts, 30 Victories Remote Marks for '37. Unless there is a batch of fast| stretch running, no pitcher this season s going to move up around 30 vic- tories, and no home-run hitter will pass the 45-mark. They are just at the half-mile post now, and the gen- eral average is well below the figures named above. Joe Medwick, however, is threaten- ing to be the first .400 hitter in some years. EASY FOR CENSUS NINE. Bureau of Census trounced the Un- employment Compensation nine, 11 to| 4, yesterday in a Government League game. Rathjen struck out seven and hit & home 1un for the winners.

ARPON and sailfish from the same boat on the same day in the same water? It can't be done, huh? Or so the old fish- ermen will tell you, having in mind the idea that the tarpon is a native of the West Coast of Florida, while the sallfish, that silvery warrior of the blue water, does his stuff only in the Gulf Stream. Don't let any one rise up and orate that it can't be done. We've done it, and it was one of the unusual inci- dents of a flying trip to Miami, ar- ranged by Eastern Air Lines for a few Washington fishing enthusiasts who learned about fishing from the tarp and the sail themselves. Nor will Frank T. Bell, commissioner of fisher- ies, ever be the same about dinky little 30-pound salmon or 14-pound trout after his 43-minute battle with a bulky lady tarpon which gave him the scrap of his life in the Ten Thou- sand Islands a few miles out from the little town of Everglades, 80 miles west of Miami. New Experience to Boatmen. THOSE boatmen at Pier 5 pick up & tarpon once in a while in the Summertime, when the big silver kings spread all around the Peninsula of Florida. But never before had they the experience of landing tarpon and sailfish from the same boat on the same day. It happened to Bill Beall of the Washington News and the writer of this scaly yarn and it got more than a few lines in the Miami | papers. And it proved once again what we've known for years—that if | you want some real fishing after the big boys of the oceans and the inlets Florida is the place to go when Win- | ter tourists don't get in your hair, of boats, when the competition for | | sailfish isn't so keen and when the | fish are there. It proved also that you can leave Washington after work any day, get two days of the best fish- ing in America and be back at work a few hours later, via the flying route. Thoee big silver ships, of 21-passenger capacity, shuttle up and down the coast twice daily, running with the regularity and adherence to schedule of railroad trains. And as for com- fort, there's plenty of that, and steadi- ness, in the air. Frank Bell missed the big show off | Miami. He thought he'd had all the fishing there was to be had around pound tarp that kept him busy for three-quarters of an hour. He didn't know that Capt. Alonzo Campbell had | seen tarpon rolling off the south jetty of Miami Beach, and had been saving ‘em for some one like him. Bell Misses Big Show. 1BUT Bell had listed a hearing in | Washington for Thursday and he | missed the big show in and near the | before had caught anything but some RN NNE ELLIS’ match with Marge | Robinson was to be the fea- ture of the District women's | tournament today, with the semi-final round in singles slated to be reached by dusk. Although' the near-record field of 48 started play only Tuesday, the number had been reduced to work- able proportions at the start of to- day’s play until officials contemplated the semi-finalists as the result of six matches this afternoon. Mrs. Robinson, seeded No. 1, was expected to be the only favorite who might have diffi- culty in reaching the next-to- last bracket. Sara Moore, seeded 4 and in Mrs. Robinson's half of the draw, should experience little trouble with Marian Prichard before meeting Willle O'Steen in a quarier-final match, although the latter may prove more troublesome. In the lower half of the draw, Edith Clarke, seeded No. 2, awaited the winner of an earlier match between Mary Ryan and Gertrude Smith, with the former favored to survive and meet Miss Clarke in the quarters. The second semi-finalist of the lower half will be the winner of the Frances Grimes-Elinor Finckel match, with the edge to the former. Miss Finckel Dangerous. I\llss GRIMES, recent winner of the grand national tournament and a Morgantown, W. Va, girl, should take Miss Finckel, but the lat= ter pulled a real upset yesterday when she defeated Edith McCulloch, eighth ranking player of the District, 6—2, 6—1. Miss McCulloch had trimmed Miss Finckel by almost the same scores in The Star's City of Washington tournament in May. None of the other favorites had trouble yesterday, all winning in straight sets. Mrs. Robinson elim- inated Kay Baker, 6—1, 6—3; Miss Ellis defeated Jean Wren, 6—0, 6—0; Miss O'Steen defeated Margaret But- ler, 6—4, 6—2, and Miss Grimes whitewashed Mary Jane Underwood, 6—0, 6—0. Miss Clarke was the only one forced to play two matches and won both. She defeated Margaret Graham and Edna Vest both by the same scores, 6—1, 6—0. | years and still not be as lucky as that. S%VOL @//merfr THE EVENING . From Same Craft Same Day Is Novel Florida Experience of those complacent hardheads in Chesapeake Bay, tied into a 50-pound sail before he'd been an hour in the stream. For a while it looked as if Bill was to be whipped by that fish, but he was using 21-thread line and you can do pretty well on sallfish with such stuff as that. Bill licked the fish in 35 minutes, and then went back to take a rest. He needed it, too, His tummy, he said, felt as if some one had kicked him all night, and he wore & big blister on his reel thumb working the 7-foot spearfish. Back we came to the jetties, trolling the cut bonito-belly we'd used for sailfish in the stream. And there, in- side the big rock pile, & tarp was wait- ing. Just as a black squall rolled in from the South that big baby hit like & ton of brick falling from a 10-story hotel. Out of the water he came in three, four magnificent jumps, and then he started for Biscayne Bay, three miles away. At the end he came out again, so far away he resembled a minnow. Across the water drove the squall, and we drove the tarpon, trying to horse him in before the wind hit. Those big piles of Maine rock, 1,400 miles from their native mountains, are no place to be caught in an on- shore blow. And how that tarpon scrapped. Hooked securely in the lower jaw (al- though we didn't know that) he was fastened to a little 7-0 saiifish hook. That’s no equipment for tarpon. They are too bulky and too tough for sail- fish rigs; they jump too much and | they pull too hard, But he was well hooked and after 45 minutes he rolled over on his side and came in, still scrapping. Two flags went up on the eutriggers as the squall hit. A sail in | the fish box, his two-foot tail stick- ing out of one corner, and a tarpon in the cockpit. You could try a dozen Second Caught Off Miami. 'HE fact is that this tarp, & 75- pounder, was only the second big | boy caught off Miami this year. And | maybe we're letting out some guarded information on the spot where he was caught. They'd caught the other in what is known locally as the “jack- hole” off Miami Beach, where big am- berjack lay. But there are more of them around the Soih jetties. Now, with his tarpon experience be- hind him and his muscles pretty well rested Commissioner Bell wants to try Bimini fishing, for big marlin and | monster tuna. They run big over there | at Bimini, 50 miles due east of Miami, anywhere up to 600-odd pounds. It's reaily big stuff when a 12-foot boy like that hits, and leaves for Spain in those long greyhound leaps the marlin affect. Or when a tuna sounds 300 fathoms straight down (a fathom is 6 feet) and it's your job to get him up and at the same time keep the shark \ RY % from chewing him up. \\ 2 e L X Doubles and the consolation sin- gles tournament are to start today. The two most formidable teams are the defending champions, Miss Clarke and Mrs. Robinson and Miss Moore and Miss Grimes. D. C. Players Survive. ’I‘HRE‘E of the four local juniors entered in the Delaware State junior tournament survived yester- day and are to play the second- round matches today. They are Harry Heffner, David Johnsen and Bernard Blankin. The only one to lose was Harold Landsman, who bowed only to the second seeded player, Bill Gillespie of Atlanta, Ga., 6—0, 6—3. Heffner polished off Jack Conrad of Coatesville, Pa., 6—2, 6—1; Johnsen eliminated Bob Boyer of Philadelphia, 6—2, 6—4, and Blankin defeated John Cooper or Princeton, 7—5, 6—4. HefIner is seeded No. 1 in the event. McCue Pulls Another Upset. AVY'S Leech Cup squad added an- other group of local players to its list of victims, taking 8 out of 11 matches from a team of the best pub- lic parks players. Lieut. John McCue, who defeated Barney Welsh Monday, upset Allie Ritzenberg yesterday, 6—1, 6—2, and in all likelihood will play the No. 1 singles position for the Middies. Lieut. Jimmy Farrin's 6—2, 7—5 conquest of Ray Stock- linski, District ranking player, also was a feature. Billy Contreras scored one of the Public Parkers’ three victories when he rallied to defeat Lieut. Dick Dole, 1—6, 6—2, 6—3. Joe Baker and Er- win Niemeyer acounted for the losers' other points, the former defeating Lieut. Johnson, 6—2, 6—2, and Nie- meyer trimming Lieut. Halstead, 3—6, 6—2, 6—2. Navy's No. 1 doubles combination pinned back the ears of the ranking team of Joe Baker and Fred Doyle, 6—4, 6—4. Diamond Crowds Setting Record Base ball's main bet now is that 1937 will be its top year as far as attendance records go. All pre- vious marks up to July have been cracked badly, and only a run- away race in either or both leagues could do any big damage. The Yankee attendance almost is certain to set an all-time mark if two or three rival teams manage to keep somewhere close through July and August.

C, CARNOUSTIE LINKS PANNED BY YANKS Dudley, With Brililant 70, Is Exgeption—76 Start Doesn’t Annoy Haig. BY GAYLE TALBOT, Associated Press Bports Writer. ARNOUSTIE, Scotland, July 8. —Walter Hagen perhaps was the most complacent compe- titor in the field as he teed off for the second round of the British open today. There are a lot of players who wouldn't have liked being saddled with Sir Walter’s opening round of 76, but it suited Hagen right down to the ground. “That's exactly what I shot In the first round of the first British open I won in 1922 he Ppoitned out. “I wouldn't want a bet- ter sign than that.” With Carnoustie stretched still far- ther, a score of 75 likely was to he very comforting today. It's shocking what long tees and an east wind can do to an otherwise fairly normal golf course., Guldahl, Sarazen Condemn It. ULDAHL, after finishing yester- day's round, unhesitatingly clas- sified Carnoustie as “lousy.” Sarazen agrees in spades. It traps perfectly good drives and calls for five-minute consultation with a native caddy be- fore any player dares hit one off the tee. Dudley, who suddenly has dis- covered possibly the most brilliant form of his career, is alone among the Americans in not condemning some feature of the championship course. His 70 yesterday was pretty | phenomenal. Never has any one seen putting to beat big Ed's at the present moment. They're dropping like ripe apples for him on greens that teammates declare are rougher than a burlesque show. He's using a peculiar looking putter he made himself. It's partly brass, partly aluminum and contains a little of everything except anthracite, It has two screwheads in the face and | { he knocks them in off the screw next to his heel. Almost Same Old Haig. COTTISH students of the game say Hagen still has all the shots he ever had but has lost his concen- tration, One of Snead’s teammates expressed the opinion that slugging Sam is overgolfed. “He's not within three strokes of the golfer he was two months ago,” he said. Someone suggested that Alf Padg- ham, who has been playing terrible golf in the last two months, finally has reached the point where he has quit caring. In that frame of mind Alf shot himself a fine 72 and looked something like the man who won the title last year.

This tangible record of notable fishing skill will be presented by Field and Stream magazine to every one who brings in a fish above a certain weight and who complies with sport fishing conditions. In Europe it is the custom of hosts on fishing or hunting expeditions to present their guests with small medals or tokens when they are particularly pleased with their ability and sports- manship, and now this pleasant cus- tom has been brought to the United States. The badge is a metal circle surrounding a fighting fish, with the name of the angler, his catch and the date engraved on it. Anglers, to receive the award, must catch a fish of a specified weight and in addition must follow all con- ditions of Field and Stream’s big fish contest. There are hundreds of an- glers who ecatch big fish each year, but whose catch is not quite large enough to win a prize in the several contests, and this is their opportunity to receive a tangible award for their skill. %ish for which badges are given still will be eligible for prizes in the annual contest. Weight Schedules Listed. THE weights are not so high that no one will get any, but they still are high enough for it to be a real honor to achleve this award. At the moment we know of half a dozen ‘Washington anglers who already have qualified for badges with heavy fish, and this department is heading for Chesapeake Bay and big blues at the first opportunity. Here ‘are the weight schedules: Eastern brook trout, 4 pounds; brown trout, 5; rainbow trout (Eastern), 5; rainbow trout (Western), 10; lake trout, 25; small-mouth bass, 5; large- mouth bass (Northern), large- mouth bass (Southern), large- mouth bass (Florida), 10; muskalonge, 30; great Northern pike, 15; wall-eyed pike, 8; striped bass (rockfish around Stewart-Warner—A. C. SPEEDOMETERS Authorized Service MILLER-DUDLEYA meé NORTH 1583 R e £ HuBER - here), 25; channel bass, fish (locally sea trout), 8: biue- fish, 8; tuna (school), 75: tuna (giant), 400: marlin (white), 75: sail- fish, 60; tarpon, 100; bonefish, 8; wahoo, 40. Blanks for entries in the award list may be clipped from the magazine or can be found at most local sporting goods stores. ‘Washington and nearby anglers | have an excellent chance of receiving | badges for biues, sea trout and channel bass, and a fighting chance at the small-mouth, large-mouth and wall- eyed badges. So get busy, fellows, and see who will be the first one to be sporting a badge. . Tidal Basin Now Clean. THE Tidal Basin has been cleaned at last and now some one other than carp anglers will have a chance at it. There should be quite a few good bhass taken from it this year. ‘We were down there early yesterday morning just looking around and counted exactly nine bass leaping out of the water after the bugs and flies. Standing on the seawall we noted one big old lunker in particular who pust cruised around in the grass and made three successive leaps within 10 feet, gulping a flying bug with each lunge. In the clear water we could see him slipping along down near the roots, several times rising to investigate movements on the surface. The water has been muddy for some time and they must be plenty hungry. Unfortunately the man who has the boat concession there is a bit touchy about fishing from his boats, otherwise we could take a fly rod out in the middle and get some fish. Trees and shrubs around the edge almost preclude the use of that weapon from shore, but there is plenty of room for a bait casting rod. There is no license requirement for fishing in the basin, but the limit is five a day, 10 inches or more in length. It has not been stocked this year, but, with a little urging, C. Marshall Finnan, director of National Capita) Parks, might be persuaded to make a deal with the Bureau of Fisheries. 40; weak- PHONE BRADLEY 202 And Ask For BOYD HICKMAN.
