" CobbS Tupa Return Detroit Likely Be Mad His Suspension
ROD AND STREAM
BY Perry Miller.

The attention of this column has
been directed to violations between
Chain Bridge and Little Falls of the
District fishing laws. Reports reach.
ing this office are to the effect that dip
nets are being used to catch bass, both
large and small. in the narrow channel
there.
1t also is reported that black bass
are being sold in Washington in vio-
lation of the law enacted at the last
session of Congress. Certain restau-
rants in the District are even said to
list Potomac bass on their menus.
Maj. Hesse, superintendent of the
Metropolitan Police, asserted he would
use every means at his disposal to see
that the law is obeyed.
Large and small mouth bass legally
cannot be caught except with hook and
line at any time of the year. Niolators
of the law in District waters are sub
ject to arrest by local authorities, but
above Little Falls. Maryland has jur.
isdiction over the Potomac to the Vir-
ginia shore and there it devoives on
the State game wardens to enforce the
law.
Virginia game wardens know Of the
Illegal means used to catch bass in the
upper Potomac. but as yet have been
unable to effect any arrests.
Not only are Washingtonians anx-
ious to foster the increase of the bass
family. but the same can be said of
every section of the country. and the
opinion is general that the man who
buys bass and offers them for sale or
prepares them for table use in his
place of business is as culpable as the
fellow who takes them from the river.
This column would like to hear of
any violations of this law. The fight
is on and every angler should take a
pride in doing his part TO push it to a
successful conclusion.

not many local anglers have tried their
luck at the Point so far this year. but
that the fish are there waiting for
them; also that some nice rockfish are
being caught. He asserted that there
are no crabs available yet.
An interesting sight can be Wit

also for rowboats have a fringe Of

that the fish racks placed at the flood

have escaped.

taken up with Col. L.. S. Grant, officer

" OBBY CRUICKSHANK of the
- Progress Country Club of New
York, former Scottish amateur
D champion, proved the shining
star of the four ball exhibition
match at the Congressional Country
Club yesterday which found him and
Tommy Armour, the Congressional
Club professional, outplaying Walter
Hagen and Gene Sarazen, 6 and 5.
Cruickshank shot 72, the lowest
1S-hole score of the day over the morn
ing route of the 36-hole exhibition to
finish the morning round l up Ar
mour's Indifferent putting alone keep
ing the margin of the Scottish duo
from being greater at the luncheon
interval. But Armour found his put
ting touch in the wet afternoon and
the Scots picked up more holes over
the first nine of the final round, end
ing the match on the thirteenth green,
6 and 5.
Cruickshank drew down a special
purse of 500 for his efforts in nego-
tiating the SO holes in las shots Sara
zen, who was of comparatively little
aid to Hagen, had a 36-hole card of
1856. Both Armour and Hagen picked
up on different holes, so their scores
could only be approXimated.
Hagen Causes Delay.
Nearly 1000 persons waited around
the first tee at Congressional for more
than an hour before .y0gen reported
ready for play. Consequently the aft
ernoon round was late in getting
under way, and the entire jaunt was
played in a rain, which started while
the players were at luncheon. Not
withstanding the rain and Hagen's
late appearance, the match was a
complete success and drew one of the
largest galleries to see a similar af-
fair about Washington in many years.
Officials Of the club had worked out
an elaborate and well conceived plan
for handling the gallery, and the ar
rangements went through without a
hitch.
Sarazen won the first hole of the
match with a 5, and both Armour and
Cruickshank squared with 3s on the
short third, the Scottish combination
going into a lead at the eighth, where
Armour was the only one of the quar-
tet to secure a par 4. Although Ar
mours game through the fairway was
accuracy itself, he was unable to get
a recalcitrant putter working, and
Cruickshank was the mainstay of the
team. So good was he, however, that
