FISHING
BY DICK PEED.

There is little encouragement
to offer the local angler. Salt water
hshing is just beginning; the sea-
son for bass is closed and perch
fishing is very uncertain. The
water is in good condition and you
may hnd them, and again you may
not.
THE tide will flow in about
noon and the incoming water fur
nlshes the best fishing. FIRST car
leaves the barn at sos. Good luck
to you.
Charles HoIbrook recorded
several fine catches Of white perch
between Chain Bridge and George
town within the past ten days.
In a recent issue this column
mentioned Paul Barstow as prexi-
dent of the Potomac Anglers Club.
The statement was an error Louis
Perron is the president of the or
gsniZstion. and a good active one,
too.
A Virginia game warden re-
Gently arrested two men near Alex
andria with bass in their posses
sion. A local magistrate levied a
good stiff fine on the offenders.
Being without sufficient funds 10
liquidate the fines, the offenders
spent several days in Jail. The fish
and game warden at Rockville
promises to give the law-breakers
around Great Falls a rubbing with
the same treatment IL he catches
any of them.
THE salt water fishing Is be-
ginning already. and IL last year Is
to be a criterion, the early opening
is an indication OF a long and sue
cessful season.

the persistent perch fishermen this
spring and has a number OF finC

With the receipt of the entry of
Theodore Roosevelt Pell, the. tennis
committee of the Chevy Chase Club
announces that at least seven we'll
known racquetters of national re-
pute will participate in it's special
invitation event to be held on May
13, II and is.
Three others-R. Lindley Murray.
former national champion. and the
two Japanese stars. l. Kumagae and
Seitchiro kashio-are still poSsibiIi-

Vited may yet send in last-minute
entries. In addition to Pell, the fol-
lowing entries have been received. .
w. T Tilden, Dean Mathey. Leon
ard Beekman, Cedric Major, Sam
Hardy and L. E. Mahan.
Connie" Doyle, the only local
player who was thought of class
enough to be invited, has practically
decided not TO enter as he is deter
mined to stick to his resolution to
abandon competitive tennis this
year with the exception of team
matches and the Middle Atlantic
event. In this latter event, he has
TWO legs on the trophy and hopes to
land the event this year. which will
give 1t to him permanently.
II no other entries. or pcrhaps
only one or two additional ones, are
received, the club has decided to run
the event as a round robin" with
each entrant playing every other
one. This, it is believed. will make
the event more interesting to play
ers and gallery alike as it will as
sure more action than would be got
ten in a regular tournament which
would throw out half of the en-
trants in the very first round.
Whether additional entries are re-
ceived or not, the field now entered
Is a good one and some brilliant
tennis will no doubt be shown. All
tennis enthusiasts in the District arc
invited to witness the event.
