BRITAIN HAS A NUMBER
Of YOUNG GOLF:.STARS

The older golfers of Great Britain
may be stumbling. but the boys are
not. When the youngsters grow UP
this country will have lot of them
to reckon with in international COM
petitions. .--.
Donald -Mathieson of Edinburgh
Academy. the boy champion recently
played the course at rPitlochry in rs.
The scratch score for the course IS IS
and the record 10. He had one indif-
ferent hole, the fourteenth, where he
took six. - III &Et Z.
Robert Mathiesor, a younger breth-
err won the open competition at Pit
lochry with 81, less 10. He is four
teen years of age. He played against
a head wind most of the time. 1t
merely goes to show that the younger
generation Of Great Britain is max
ing preparation to take on where the
elder fellows are leaving OF. They
are not likely to be SO conservative
as their dads and uncles, for .condi-
tions are changing, In Great Britain
as In the remainder Of the world. :.
The younger players on the other
side of the world are not likely to
stand still and subject themselves to
defeat when they believe that they
can improve on the game that is be-.
ing played by representative golfers
now. The last visit of the English
golfers to. the United States resulted
in a great many truths being driven
deeply home to the Britons.

Little Gene Sarazen. American open
champion, is-footsore and weary. He
declares that ne was overgolfed for
the time being and that he intends to
take a rest for a week or two.

him for shortly he will meet Waltef

bat, half of which will be played at
Pittsburgh and the other half at the
Westchester-B -Biltmore Country Club,

Gene will fcrego the pleasure

coming southern championship at
Nashville, although several thousand
dollars have been hung up as prize
money to tempt the pros. The open
champion will rest with only an oc-
casional round to keep him on edge
for the Hagen match. The little

The Potomac Is in fine condition for
the angler. and reports from up-river
state that the tributaries, particularly
the Monocacy, which usually empties
large quantities Of mud into the Poto-
mac following rain, is perfectly clear.
with the fact that the water is COM
mencing to cool after the hot summer
months. makes a combination that suits
both the angler and the bass. These
gamesters Of the deep are like human
being when the suns hot rays beat down
upon them during the summer. They
seek spot in the shade and Just lie
around trying to keep cool. But when
the water commences to lose some Of
its warmth the bass begin to get active
and dart from one place to another,
and then is the time to angle for them.
The Potomac Anglers Association
will hold its annual fishing outing today
at Chesapeake Beach. Prizes ,have been
donated by the local sporting goods
houses, eand Mr.. Block. a member of
the association. offers a handsome prize
to the lady catching the largest fish.
Chesapeake Beach is prepared for one
OF the biggest week ends Of the autumn
fishing season. More than 500 fishing
enthusiasts and numerous automobile
parties are expected to attend the
anglers outing. The public is invited
TO attend, and a special train will leave
the District line at $3.50 am, returning
from the Beach at s 40 pm. A feet
Of twenty motor boats will take the fish
ermen to the fishing grounds in the bay.
Trout, hardheads, tailors. rock and
founders now are being caught in large
numbers. The weekend fishing excur-
sions will continue as long as good
weather lasts.
Redppearance this season of the
tailor. or bluefish. absent from the
waters of the bay adjacent to Annapo-
lis for some time past, is hailed with
delight by fishermen

fine table fish, was reasonably plentiful

They now are being. caught, weigh

long bars which extend into the bay
around Annapolis. They are landed on
the same bait used for trout and hard

about dozen, each of big trout and
