GOLF DUE

PITTSBURGH, Jan. S.-A move
toward a more highly centralized
control of golf in all its aspects
throughout the country was made
when the Green Section Of the
United States Golf Association.
meeting here in annual convention,
approved a resolution
asking its transfer to the parent
organization.
In the past the Green Section,
with a charter issued by the State
of Pennsylvania, has been operating
as a separate unit. although its N
ception was inspired by the U. s.

sportsmen's clubs and the American
Legion at Minneapolis recently Col.
Theodore Roosevelt urged co-opera-
ton between all agencies and OF.
CARNATIONS having similar objects
and the State department in charge
of game and fish preservation.
What he said applies with equal
force to every other State and 20
the nation as whole that a united
front may be presented in the fight
to save our wild life resources from
further invasion by commercialism
and vandalism.
1t does in fact mean q fight to
save our lakes, streams and marshes
from further exploitation, pollution

The new converts to outdoor
recreation have, by means Of
good roads>and the automobile, been
thrown into the woods. among the
lakes and along the streams armed
with guns, knives, axes, fire and
other agencies of destruction which
they use ignorantly and recklessly
leaving devastation in their wake.
Much OF the ruin they cause Is be-
cause they don't know any better,
The trained sportsman and outdoor
man is shocked by their careless
indifference to the simple rules Of
conduct, but mere indignant pro-
test will not suffice.
Colonel Roosevelt's suggestion Is
that there should be more md
closer cooperation among the or
CARNATIONS interested in the vari-
GUS phases of wild life conservation
that their efforts may be co-ordinat-
ed. Some are devoted to forest
preservation, some to protection Of
wild flowers, some to fish and
game, and so on. Each organiZa-
ton working independently much
energy is wasted, and often there
Is working at cross purposes. All
should keep in touch with each
other agency so that a definite con.
servation may be mapped out and
put through by joint effort.

q, 1t is believed by Commander In
gram that a stadium with seating
capacity of about $4,000 would be
ample for the largest games played
at home by the Naval Academy.
The Navy now has home-and-home
arrangement with both Notre Dame
and Michigan, and it is believed
that these teams would fill the sta
dium.
In spite of the high standing the
Naval Academy has assumed in
rowing, the facilities for that sport
at Annapolis ire the poorest of those
in any rowing college of the East.
This Is fully appreciated by Com
mander Ingram. who was stroke-oar
and crew captain when mldship-
man.

l The District Commissioners, after
a rigid conference. along the line Of
game fish conservation, requested
Chairman Frederick N. Zihlman, of
MARYLAND, of the House District
Committee, to introduce bill call
ing for closed season on game
fish in the Districts waters from
January /, to May 20, of each year.
Chairman Zihlman introduced the
bin on last Wednesday =,
The bill as introduced reads: Be
1t enacted by the Senate and House
of Representatives of the United
States Of America in Congress as
sembled, That section 2 of the Act
of May II, 1898, entitled IAN Act
for the protection Of fish In the
District of Columbia" and SO forth,
as amended by the Act of March 3,
1901, entitled IAN Act to amend the
Acts for the protection Of birds,
game, and fish in the District Of
Columbia" be, and the same is
hereby, further amended so as to
read as follows:
SEC. 2. That no person shall
catch or kill in the waters Of the
Potomac River or its tributaries
within the District of Columbia any
black bass otherwise known as
green bass and chub) crappie (other-
wise known as calico bass and
strawberry bassI between the LIST
day OF January and the 18th day
of May of each year, nor have In
possession nor expose for sale any
of snid species between the dates
aforesaid. nor catch or kill any OF
said species of fish at any other
time during the year except by.
angling, nor catch nor kill any %
the aforesaid species by what are
known as out lines or trOt lines
having a succession of hooks or
devices" n
"Game fish in the Potomac
deserve more protection than
they are getting now" said
Senator Capper, chairman OF
the Senate District Committee,
when he introduced the same
bin on the day previous.
The passage of the five months
closed season bill, which means the
saving Of game fish life in our
beautiful Potomac, rests good bit
with the anglers of Washington.
True, we have no vote. but we are
fortunate in having a mouthplece
in the form of citizens associations.
Have them make an appeal and you
will have helped do your part IN
this wonderful constructive work.
John E. Buckingham, ~, has

eran angler dropped dead from heart
failure last Tuesday afternoon in
the concourse of Union Station
while bidding goodbye to his
brother and sister-in-law. who had
been visiting him over the holidays.
Buck" as he was known to his
vast army of friends was a true
sportsman in every sense or the
meaning and never once did he take
unfair advantage of natures OFF

of the great out of doors.
Il was no later than New
