Now that the District bass season
has opened and with only two weeks
intervening before the bass season
opens in Virginia, this column is go
ing to give a brief summary of the
laws governing the catching of bass.
First of all, Virginia state fishing
licenses can be obtained at the At
las Sporting Goods Company, located
on D street between 9Th and 10th.
This license costs $3.50 and must be
carried by those visiting Virginia
waters.
No license is required to fish in 10
cal waters and no license is required
by residents Of the state OF virginia.
some anglers who work in wash
ington, but reside in Virginia, nave
asked If they need to procure IL
cense to fish in their state. AS long
as Won are a resident of the state, no
license is required, but If not, be sure
TO have one in your pocket when you
fish
The Virginia law says it shall be
unlawful for any person to retain
any black bass, large or small mouth,
OF any brook, mountain or rainbow
trout of less than five inches In
length, and that all fish less than the
speciffed size shall be returned to the
water Immediately with as little In
jury as possible. The measurements
of the fish shall be from end of nose
to center form of tail.
Penalty for violating any of the
above provisions shall be deemed a
misdemeanor and shall be- punished
by fine of not less than $40 nor more
than $50, or Imprisonment in jail Tor
not more than thirty days or both, at
the discretion of the justice or jury
trying the case.
No person shall be deemed a nom
resident within the meaning of sec
tion 3212 of the Virginia law who
actually has resided in the state
twelve months preceding the commits
sion of the offense, ,Aand in any such
proceeding against a person as a
nom resident the. burden of proof as
TO his residence shall be upon him.
The Virginia law also states that
it shall be unlawful for any person
to take in any one day more than
twenty-fiye black bass or forty brook
or mountain trout, or to have in his
possession at any one time more than
fifty black bass or eighty brook or
mountain trout.

Now we are getting near the point.
Why does the western world play
110 golf?-
I have heard the charge made that
the teachers Of the country do not
really try to teach the club members.
That instead they purposely confuse
them with such terms as keep your
body out of It," and 'let your wrists
hick into 1t as you hit" Club men,
bers have told me these terms are
meaningless to them. Perhaps they
are / can see how they could be-. /
have seen 10000 learning golfers
struggling and perspiring before me,
and not one of these has ever been
told by me to keep his body out of
It, though countless have been the
eager novices who did their mightiest
to clout the white pill with their
body force. l do not believe, how
ever, that any golf teacher has ever
sought deliberately to confuse his
pupil. Its a tough job to teach II
when you do everything possible to
aid the pupil. Only those who have
struggled with struggling golfers
could get laugh out OF the theory
that something is held back by the
teacher. He's willing enough, / can
assure you.
Here's That "PuII Down."
There are two reasons why this is
a country Of 110 golf. One of them
is that learning players will persist
In trying to hit the ball with body
force, and the other is that they don't
know what is meant by an exertion

If this wrist-bend doesn't come out

occurs a sort of a crowdfng as the
clubhead nears the ball. You know II
is something there. you don't know just
what. But the clubhead has attained
a great velocity, so to- get through some
thing must give. Since you are not
getting the bend out of your left wrist
the natural place of give is what? The
left elbow. And so we have the left
ward swing. Golfers are always told
to keep the left elbow straight going

back and then get 1t straight again,
coming forward, and still hit the ball
