TIME golfer works hardest to
accomplish the easiest shot in
golf. the drive. He gives the
4 least of his attention to what
properly is the hardest shot In
golf, the niblick shot. When he swings
his wood he aims for $50 yards every
time and is satisfied IL he gets 200,
But when he swings his niblick he
aims for nothing at all and usually
gets il.
The niblick is one of the most useful
of clubs and ii has the advantage that,
rightly used. 1t can save the player
more strokes than any other club In
his bag. For instance, IL Is the only
club that can be relied upon to fetch
the ball out of the trap and up to the
pin, saving several strokes there that
otherwise might be used up. Also 1t
is the one club that will pick the ball
up in tall rough and set 1t down on
the fairway again. whereas many
PLAYERS, before they learn that niblick
fact. will spend shot after shot in the
rough, All to no avail. The niblick
would save all of them.
For successful shots with the niblick
when the ball is in the trap at the
edge of the green the players first
task is 10 conquer the mental hazards
that usually accompany this kind Of q
shot. For use of the niblick In the
rough the golfer must first learn the

enter the read estate field.

lesson that so yards out of the rough
and back ento the fairway are far
better than 200 yards and still in the
rough--a most difficult lesson to
master.
There Is no particular detail about
swinging the niblick to take the ball
from the rough. Judgment, rather
than mastery of the particular club,
In here required. You swing the club
about as you would swing any other
one, merely making sure that you get
the blade down to the hall. This heavy
blade will cut its way through the
long grass, which Is why you should
niblick your way out,
In the sand, forget that you are in
sand and also forget the rise or the
bank directly In front Of yau. Con-
eentrate on hitting nightly into the
sand couple inches back Of the ball
il the sand is dry and loose-and be
careful to swing clear through. IF
the sand Is wet and packed merely
scrape under the ball.
And when you want TO make sure
the short pitch will stick to the green
pull your niblick. II is far easier to
pitch directly with the niblick than II
is to strain your effort with a nlashie
in order to "cut" the ball. The easy,
natural way to the objective should
always he the choice Of the golfer
and II always Is with the good golfer.

rivers. where IL may be found through
out the year. There are records of In.
dividuals being caught that tipped the
scales At 125 pounds. Heavy fishing,
however. has changed all of this. so
that weight of Is pounds is now
rarely achieved. Most of the market
catch weighs between ] and Is pounds.
1t is a rather long-lived fish and when
placed in tanks have been known to
survive 16 years.
The catch of this species in At
lantic waters reached nearly 1000 900
pounds annually. On the Pacific Coast
where they were planted some few
years ago there are today many mil
lions of them, and the annual catch
amounts to about 100000 pounds
These fish are also called seven strip
ers," because of the fact that they
have seven stripes, and it makes no
difference whether they weigh
pound or 80 or so pounds, they will
have seven stripes, no more, no less.
The Potomac River proudly claims
the members of the bass family, the
large and small mouth black bass
among its finny tribe. AS a matter

termed the second home of this fish.
They were first planted in the Poto-
mac years ago, years before the reeol.
lection of the oldest anglers today,
being brought from the Mississippi
Valley region, the original home of
the bass.
These closely related black basses
are easily distinguished by the size
of the mouth and by the color pattern.

does not extend beyond the eye. as in
the case of the large mouth. In the
former there Is much dark blotching.
which tends to form short vertical
cross-bands, while the latter has usu
ally a dark band along the side.
They are to be found in practically
every State in the Union, and their size
depends upon the waters Inhabited.
They defend their eggs on the spawn
ing nests with great vigor. and it is
the male that assumes this task, the
female deserting as soon as the eggs
have been deposited.
The large mouth bass has a wider
distribution than the small mouth.
especially southwark. extending into
Florida and other States along the
Gulf Coast. 1t is more abundant and
tnhabits more sluggish waters. The
black bass is carniverous, the young
feeding largely on insect life. the
In bait fishing these foods. together
with the larger insects and their
larvae are all used. Its reputation
as a game fish is not surpassed by
any other of it's size, but the small
mouth is conceded to be by far the
gamier and more active.
