ANNAPOLIS OFFERS
fine ROCK FISHING

Fishermen from far and near just now
are making wonderful catches of pan
sized" rock in the Severn River near
Annapolis. These rock, which are pre-
ferred to any table fish by many, weigh
about pound each.
Single fishermen frequently are catch
ing from fifty to a hundred during an
afternoon. The largest catch, more than
200, was made during the afternoon of
July by Emil and William Vanous and
Clifton Bosley, Annapolis sportsmen.
Large rock have not appeared yet. and
fishermen are making the smaller catches
by still fishing, with rod or hand line, ia
stead of trawling, the usual method for
large fish.
"Chumming.',> which consists of throw
ing out large quantity of bait near
the boat, has been used with good re-
suits. This attracts whole schools of
fish, and they bite on the shrimp used
as bait as long as it is offered or the
school lasts.
While hardheads also are biting free
ly, few care to catch them when rock
are available They are easily kept
away, as they do not care much for
shrimp, but bite on small fish cut into
pieces.
Never in the history of fishing in the
vicinity of Annapolis have so many en-
gagged in it. Twenty or more parties in
small boats often, may be seen near the
new bridge, while numerous other par
ties and single fishermen are about other
points in the river.

All in all, these three men represent
the best there is in American golf
although just bit of the credit is
taken from Mike Brady because
Hagen, Sarazen, Barnes and MacDon-
aid Smith were journeying far afield
when the Met open was played.
So far this year the amateur con-
tingent has been quite notieeably in
.ae background so far as professional
tournaments are concerned. Jesse
Guilford, the mighty swatter of
Woodland, did well in the eastern
qualifying round at Worcester, but
didn't figure in the national open
while Chick Evans, winner of the title
in 1916, could do no better than get
into "a tie for ninth place. Bobby
Jones, the defending champ, was sec
ond, but then every one expected Bot
TO do well.
In the other championships the
simon pures have not done so well
and it seems pretty well established
that the professional golfer is back
on his throne. secure in his own rights
in professional golf
Amateurs didn't figure in either the
Metropolitan open nor the British
title chase. although deliberate Cyril
Tolley jumped across to France and
won the French open.
1t seems strange not to have an
amateur holder of a professional title
for since away back in 1913, when
Francis Ouimet broke through, our
championships always have been
,given a thrill by the splendid play
of the amateurs. This year they are
entirely outside.

for the interclub trophy. Columbia
the interclub champion, is well be-
present writing, for the latter or
ganization has thirty-two points
against eighteen for Columbia.
Chevy Chase, however. has played
more matches than has Columbia.
From it's form shown so far this
year Chevy Chase will wrest the
team title from the present holders,
for Columbia has not been going too
well. Columbia plays Banhockburn
have lots of opposition, as Bannock-
burn, off to.a good start in the series,
has a strong team, made stronger a
few days ago by the addition of
George J: voigt The latter recently
with his friend, R. Cliff McKimmie,
the Middle Atlantic champion, in the
team matches. No team VIII have a
walkaway from Bannockburn,' for the
Cabin John club has a fine team in
the field.
Leo Diegel will be missed from the
courses on which he has been a
familiar figure recently. Diegel, pro-
fessional at Friendship for two years
has decided to give up his job there
play, in the hope of making a record
for misunderstanding to which such
a. fine golfer Is entitled, for Diegel
Is easily one of the first ten pros in
the country. DiegeIs place at
Friendship will be taken by George
Kerrigan, a brother of the genial
Tom OF Siwanoy. George is not quite
as fine a player as Tom, but is good
enough to hold his own with any
but the very top notchers.
Henry Gassaway Davis, Sd, of
Chevy Chase, former interschoIastic
champion, is hitting the ball a
tremendous distance these days,
probably longer than any other local
golfer with the possible exception of
Jimmie Davis. the Columbia junior
champion.
The Chevy Chase lad, playing in a
team last Friday at Chevy Chase
match, got hold of one at the sixteenth
which left him but a short chip to
the green, $50 yards from the tee.

He has planned for season lasting
from six to eight weeks, and believes
this will give him ample time in
which to reach the peak of his form
and to be in possession of a larger
store of physical energy and stamina
than has been the case in recent
years.
Johnston declares he is through
with long and arduous tennis sea
son which finds him completely baked
in the crucial contests of the year
And this new order of training ought
to work wonders with the little rack
eter. Playing through the strenuous
programs of other years, he was able
to make his nervous energy more
than offset a lack of physical stabil :
ity in bowling over numerous oppo-
ments of high rank, only to collapse in
his big matches. Concentrating his
efforts upon the brief campaign
planned, he has a great chance to rise
to the height he achieved several sea-
sons ago.
According to reports. Johnston has
been training thoroughly but care
fully for this eastern invasion. He is
said to be weighing more just now
than he has ever weighed.
Sunao Okamoto, the latest of the
Japanese tennis "f1ends,' who arrived
recently in England from India. where
he had won almost every title in sim
giles and doubles, made his first ap-
pearance in an English tournament a,
Chiswick. Although he started play
almost Immediately after leaving the
steamer, he was able to reach the
semi-final round, where he was put
out by L. Raymond of the South
African Olympic team. The Japanese
stars first opponent was d. NJ. Greig
one of the men with whom Miss Helen
Wills practiced on her arrival in Lon
don. Okamoto defeated him in sue
cessive sets at SIS, 60. He then
put out Abrams at Is, 6-1, and
earned the right to face Raymond
who defeated him in two sets at 6-4
Go. According to accounts of the
play, the South African had too much
pace on the ball for Okamoto, who
was outclassed both in speed of
stroke and foot.

The local Waltonites are surely
missing some good sport for bass in
this vicinity, because these gamesters
are seen breaking water all over the
Little River and along the sand bars.
Some times these fish break water
when playing, frolicking, chasing
each other, but in the present condi-
tions it would seem that they were
chasing minnows and other food.
There is no use trying to angle for
them at present, because it would be
only luck if one happened to get near
enough to the lure offered to see it.
Eight tracts of land aggregating
$4,000 acres in West Virginia have

which the latter won by the score
of to 0, was due in part to the fact
that the Irish were without the serv-
ices of the Hon. Cecil Campbell. An
accident prior to the mataches kept
him out of the play, and his place
was taken by H. s. V Dillon, who was
handicapped by an old knee injury
and could not get about the court
