The Columbia Golf Club easily captured
first honors yesterday in the qualifying
round Of its annual spring tourney which
opened on the club links on Brightwood
avenue.
Ten Columbia players finished in the
first sixteen as did four from Chevy
Chase, one from Bannockburn, and Hoover
Bankhard, of the Baltimore Country Club
Individual honors for the first day were
won by the veteran. L. L. Harlan. Of the
Columbia Club, who, despite the weather
conditions. went over the course with a
low score of 70. Mr. Harlan holds the
amateur record on this course with his
score made last year Of a. and his per-
formance yesterday showed that the
steady downpour Of rain had little effect
on the links. The scores were unusually
low when the weather is taken into con-
sderation
Harlan started after about half the en-
trants were out. and went the first nine
holes in 81. by playing steady and fault
less golf The burying of his ball at the
eleventh and thirteenth holes cost him
three extra shots. raising his possible
score for the last nine holes from 80 to A.
His playing, especially over the first half
of the course, was a mastery exhibition
OF the game. and HIS work was watched
by a large group of visitors and other
golfers on the lookout for pointers
Rain Reduces Entrants.
While the rain reduced the entry list
by ten men it had little effect on the
greens. About the only hole that was
muddy was the thirteenth. The tees were
also slippery, fact which made the play
ing slow and tedious on some parts OF the
course.
The qualification rounds were limited
20 is holes and the loss OF players by
failure TO appear or to turn in cards re-
duced the number Of sixteens to three.

It was found that instead Of the usual

Tips On Trout Fishing.

Probably the most important les
son we learn in trouing is to keep out
of sight. We cannot cast fly with
out motion and even a shadow will
alarm a trout. We soon learn how
important it is to have the sun shin
ing in our faces and not comfort
ably warming our backs. If obliged
to fish In sight of the trout good
background is help. Keep the rod
low down with the side or underhand
cast. With the rays of the sun strik-
ing the water obliqueIy at certain
hours in the morning and afternoon,
we can, If facing it, stand within
easy casting distance Of school of
trout and present our flies without
alarming them. The fish may be
laying in shallow water, but we can
not see them nor can they see us.
Under other conditions, or with the
sun in our rear, they would take
fright before we arrived within range.
