GOLFERS PLAY
SHERWOOD

The cherry trees may be in bloom
the first robin may have yanked
the first worm from his lair-even
young mans fancy may have turned
but the authentic signs of spring
will not be seen until o'clock to-
night, when 1.-THE Bunch" leaves
Lewis & krauss' billiard room at S17
Fourteenth st. N. W., for Sherwood
Forest.
Since the memory of man runneth
not to the contrary no better times
have been had when THE Bunch"
went to the forest last year for golf
and incidental celebration.
1t has not been possible to get into
communication with all that went on
last years trips so this notice Is
given for the benefit of those wishing
to join the first pilgrimage Of the
current season. It is promised that
memories of 1925 will be revived.
Sherwood Forest officials have con-
scented to open an inn for the con-
venience of THE Bunch" After
long nights rest breakfast will be
prepared by a cook specially detailed
for the occasion-then golf. as it
should be played, will be the order of
Sunday. Several automobiles are
available and the trip will not be
costly-unless. OF course, one has
tough breaks.

TODAY'S
SPORTORIAL
By Kirk Miller

Baseball managers have been
bowling more this spring than
ever before over the bum deal
ladled out by the Weather Devil
or whoever it is that dishes up
the rain and cold of Florida,
Texas and points west.
In other years there have
been sporadic yelps in this
premise, but the complaints
have been rather general this
year, as few clubs had what
you might term perfect training
weather.
No doubt, several weeks hence
when the teams which are go
ing anywhere begin to go, and
the others start to lag behind,
this old weather alibi will be
dragged out and loud curses
will be launched against the
land of Ponce de Leon and the
homes of eternal sunshine.
Clark Griffith had a theory
a decade back that the teams
should be trained in a climate
more nearly that in which they
would be expected to flash their
early season wares.
Until he got that bug out of
his head he was training an
nually at Charlottesville, Va,
which citadel greeted his team
chronically with rain and snow
of the most persistent type.
Griff's plan was not all bad.
It was carried a little to the
extreme-the extreme north of
that part of the United States
usually referred to as the South.
AS matter of fact, a happy
medium for training purposes
should be a geographical point
about in the vicinity of Ashe-
vile, N. c., if it were possible
for happy mediums to obtain in
baseball and if enough major
league clubs could find locations
in about the same latitude.
1t certainly doesn't seem
plausible that teams which have
been cooked in the well-adver-
tised sunshine of the west coast
of Florida, Louisiana, Southern
Texas and California for from
six to eight weeks should be
expected to go to such exposed
spots as Boston, Cleveland, Chi
cago and Detroit, where they
haven't put aside their red
flannels yet, and do much ex-
cept go through the motions
and hope that the afternoon
will pass as rapidly as possible.
There is little criticism to be
aimed at the present system of
spring training. 1t must be
0. K. or so many people
wouldn't be doing it. But the
old alibi about tough breaks in
the weather isn't entirely water
proof because the mere opening
of the championship season car
ries no weather guarantee in
itself.
Only yesterday in Chicago
they ran an asphalt furnace
over the White Sox park to
melt the snow, which was a
foot deep That's very inter
esting if you know what an as
phalt furnace is.

We are already getting ready
for the fishing season, but we
would like the loan Of a pet cat
fish so that we can have better
luck when we go fishing.
Why a pet catfish you may ask?
We were told that an old fisherman
kept a pet catfish at home so that
he could tell what days would Re
good for fishing and what days the
fish would not bite. When he felt
like going fishing he would throw
some bait to his pet fish and If
the fish would grab the bait as
though it was the first meal in a
long time, this shrewd fisherman
would venture out and make a haul,
but if the pet fish didn't show any
pep" fishing was no good and he
stayed at home.

1t has been said by anglers, old|
and gray at the pastime, that the
largest fish invariably mingle with
the first run, being anxious to de-
post their spawn and return to
their regular abode, salt water. So
you see it is easy to understand
why experienced perch fishermen
always try to be on hand during
the initial run of the finny fellows.
There is an art in angling that
has been handed down from the
days of Sir Izaak Walton and If
applied even to perch fishing, in
our own waters, is sure to bring
results.
Take the novice or beginner for
instance, he casts his line into the
deep and trusts to luck. If he
should happen to strike into a pass
ing school, so much, so good.
Should he not experience this good
fortune his reply when asked re-
garding fishing would most likely
| be, rotten"
Now on the other hand, take
the veteran or student and no
tice his style of procedure. IL
the water is clear, as at the pres
ent writing, he will not tarry in
any one spot, If the fish are not
striking. His preference being
to move about, sounding the bot
tom i'm deep water for sand or
rocks, being a firm believer in
not waiting for the fish to come
to him, but go out and find
them. Experience has taught
him that a mud foundation has
no attraction for spawning perch.
Should the water be cloudy or
muddy he is not in the least dis
couraged, but he will change his
tactics. He makes his movements
more shOreWard, as white perch
usually feed or spawn near shore

dition.

lessness on the part of the angler

AS for tempting bats to lure

on as an excellent white perch lure.

Chick Explains
How to Use
BraSSie
By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR

By CHARLES (CHICK) EVANS, JR.
For the first third Of the way up
with the brassie the right hand Is
under, but not turned over. me
hands should not be brought up
too abruptly for the first quarter
of the follow through, for they
should be gathering the shot ana
going along with 1t.
When the hands have gone out
about three feet or more in front,
they should be called in with the
arms crooked to the body as shown
in the illustration. Throw the clun-
head up with the wrists AMI bring
if over the left shoulder. The left
knee should be braced back TN the
follow through. This will prevent
a low flight of the ball and let the
clubhead act naturally.
The cIubhead does not go
through unless you brace the left
knee back. Try to make a good
finish even III there is bad
start. Bear in mind the keep
going shot. The follow through
after the first three feet Is a sort
of doubled up affair and the
hands should be high up st the
finish.
Follow through more with the
hands than the body, and this IS
especially necessary in wind. The
height of the follow through is just
a little higher than you might
think.
If the ball has been correctly hit,
you feel as if the clubhead had
gone through it. For the first foot,
or better still, for the first two feet
of the follow through. the clubhead
must be at right angles TO the
imaginary direction line; visualize
it. 1t is well to elongate this
paralleling of the imaginary direc-
ton with the continuing clubhead.
for the usual mistake Is not to
carry the clubhead along enough.
Always you should feel the club
head working on the imaginary di-
rection line.
Finish well up, so that you COM
plete your shot and your thought,
even if you are practicing. Do not
neglect the last six inches of the
follow through. The angie formed
by the left shoulder and head
should be bisected by a full bent
