Earle for the apprehension of viola
tors of fish laws in Maryland waters.
Laws prohibiting taking of fish
weighing in excess of 90 pounds dur
ing the months of April, May and
June are being ignored, 1t was said.
Reports received by Earle stated that
1,700 pounds of rockf1sh were taken
in one haul in Chester River recently.
One of the fish weighed so pounds, it
was stated.
Fish over the legalized weight have
been conf1scated recently at Ba1ti-
more fish marke cts by conservation
officials Two fish weighing "a pounds
each were confiscated in those mar
kets last week.
A trip through some of our own
markets will reveal the fact that a
great many fish. under size, not over
size, are being offered the public Re-
ports have reached this column OF
hundreds of understood bass being
offered for sale. If this is so, there is
a law to prohibit it, and it might be
well for the District officials to look
into the matter.
VIII Reynolds. well known to all
local anglers, says the first run of
perch have made their appearance
and that some nice ones are being
caught off the point Of the island op-
posite Thirty second street. For these
deep bloodworms may safely be term :
ed the reliable bait. but the largest
of the perch are caught with min
nows. This week will be one of great
interest to anglers, because with light
tackle these gamey little fish afford
great sport.
The condition of the water could
not be better for the fishermen
there are plenty of bloodworms for
sale at the local sporting goods
stores, and minnows and boats are
available at all the river-front places.
The best places to angle for these
fish perhaps is from the island to
Chain, Bridge. The perch, like all
fish at this time of the year, make
their way to the fast-running waters
Just now they are in the vicinity OF
Georgetown, but little later on will
be further up.
| An exhibit OF unusual interest tc
all anglers will be held at the Ma
| tional Military and Sport Shop, 72l
| Ninth street, next Friday evening
! from 6 to 10 o'clock, when some oi
| the leading manufacturers of fishing
tackle will show all the latest de-
vices for Turing and catching fish. NJ
merchandise will be sold at this ex.
hibit, but Kingfisher rods, reels, lines
and hooks, Heddon's BATS rods and
reels, Creek Club bats, South Bend

The project is unique, a public
fishing pond containing thousands of
big mouth bass, crapple and sunfisb.
a body of water ideally located and
surrounded with shade trees and
benches, where fishing de luxe may be
enjoyed.
The fund is growing, but there
are thousands of fishermen in this
city who surely must have read
about the undertaking, and of that
number only small percentage
have so far sent in their donations.
Secretary Hoover strongly urges
that the project be made for the
younger generation of Washington a
place for the boys and girls to go to
learn the anglers art.
In a letter to Win H Dig, presi-
dent and founder of the Izaak Wal
ton League of America last Decem-
ber, Hoover said: "As you know, my
boyhood days were spent in Iowa
My most vivid and joyous recollee-
tions of that period are Of patient
angling in Iowa streams for the very
occasional fish with a willow pole
and a properly spat-upon worm. 1t

Now, during my adult life 1 have

in his mind, can have no greater
contribution than just free and sue
cessful fishing. These armies of boys
march into national life year by
year, and these qualities are badly
needed"
Secretary Hoover sees in this prof.
ect just the thing that the youth of
Washington should have, and the diff
ference between the streams that he

NEW YORK, April 11.--Miss Glenna

England today to take a shot at the
British women's golf title, now held
by Miss Joyce Wethered, and never
won by an American.

ems champion in this country, will
compete during the Summer in sew
eral invitation tournaments, follow
ing the title plSy at Troon. Scotland
She said she might also take part in
the French ladies' championships.
With the British tournament in
view, Miss Collett spent much of last
Winter playing golf in the South
where she received a few hints from
Walter HHagen, who is familiar with
conditions on English courses. She
won the Florida womens champion
ship at Palm Beach in February, and
in March took the FLORIDA East Coast

trim, as the nine lIldl nave DSeH III
Tucker is just finishing the job of
seeding the nine new holes and is
confident that the grass on them will
be in shape to make them playable
by June Is, if not before, possibly
by. the first of that month.
Manor eventually will have 27
holes, but work on the third nine is
at standstill now while Tucker is
busily engaged in getting in needed
licks on the others.
Tucker is one of the most ex-
perieneed professionals in the coun-
try, having been connected with the
game all his life. In fact, he might
be said to have been born with set
of golf clubs in his hand.
He first saw the light of day IN
Musselburgh, Scotland, and lost little
time after he grew up in coming to
the United States, landing on Ameri-
can soil in 1895. Tucker has three
brothers who are pros and nearly all
his relatives are affiliated with the
links game.
Washington was not new to Tucker
when he took up his job at Manor
last Fall He was assistant pro at
Chevy Chase about 20 years ago, dur
ing which time he met Miss Katherine
Cropley of this city, who has been
Mrs. Tucker for about 19 years.
Tucker has had some unusual hap
penings connected with his career as
professional. He established the
first indoor golf school in this coun-
try in 1900 at Madison Square Garden
in New York; had the distinction OF
giving John D. Rockefeller his first
pointers in the game, and gave les
sons to Mrs. John Jacob Astor on her
private estate, Rhinecliff on the Hud-
son.
In connection with the tutoring OF
Mrs. Astor Tucker once superin
tended a tourney on her estate IN
which hundred millionaires par
ticipated.
"They all were sharks in the
financial field, but most Of them sure
We're ,dubs on the links. said Tucker

according to officers of the club, it

An order for machinery to augment

been placed, including green machines,
tee machines and gang mowers. An
addition viii be made to the present
building on the No. course, which
is located near the original Indian
spring, from which the club takes it's
name.
Indian Spring is the first club
around Washington to increase it's
golf facilities by constructing two
courses. The recent increase in its
membership and the probability that
before long the club will have up

addition of another golf course de-
Sirable.

trouble, that of Roland Mackenzie,
although Armours ball found a fairly
good lie in the ditch. The contention
of most of the members is that even
if well hit bali does carry the trees
it still will not give the player any
better shot at the hole than if he
played his second from back of the
ditch.
A meeting of the executive commit
tee of the District Golf Association is
to be held soon to thresh out the
question of limiting the entry list for
the various club events. The District
organization has no actual jurisdfc-
tion over any regulations the club
may lay down. but discussion may
result in clarifying the situation.
A step entirely new to golf clubs
here, but one which is expected to
facilitate play a great deal on crowd
ed days, has been taken by the board
of governors of the Washington Golf
and Country Club. 1t passed rule
that on Saturdays and Sundays mem
berS must play in foursomes.
Washington is considering install
ling a system of selected starting
times on Saturdays and Sundays, SIM
liar to that in use at Columbia. By
this method, members may make tim e
reservations TO play at a certain noGr
on Saturdays and Sundays.
The Washington Golf and Country
Club is one where most of the members
fare golfers, and on Saturday and Sunday
mornings there has been great con-
gestion at the first tee.
A selected field of amateur golfers,
among them many of the best in
the country, will start in the Spring
tournament of the Gibson Island
Country Club at the end of April.
Entrants expected include Robert T.
Jones, the amateur champion, and
Jess Sweetser, title holder in 1922
Roland r. Mackenzie of Columbia has
been invited.
Washington's woman golfers will
play in their first tournament of the
year tomorrow at the Indian Spring
The affair is the first of a series of
monthly events to be held at the vari-
Gus clubs, under the auspices of the
Women's District Golf Association
An entrance fee of 81 will be charged.
All entrants must be at the first tee
by 10 o'clock.

In figure 1 you see a golfer, in the

fact OF a stake projecting from the

what's wrong with this picture effect.
But nothing is wrong, and that's the
joker in this case. This player can
go ahead and hit his ball just as if
the stake were not there.
