TIME fight for the abolition Of the
purse nets in Chesapeake Bag
and a black bass bill for the
State of Maryland, prohibiting
the sale and shipment of those
game fish, will start in earnest with
the convening of the Maryland Legis-
slature on January /.
The purse net bill has been before
the Legislature several times and failed
of enactment, principally because the
people were not aware OF the ultimate
outcome If the purse nets were allowed
TO continue their death-dealing activ-
tiles with the rock, trout, taylor and
other fish in the bay
Through the medium OF the newspa :
pers the people have been educated to
the fact that If the purse net is not
abolished In a comparatively short tims
there will be no fishing in the bay.
This column is reliably informed that
many people who formerly did not
oppose the use of the purse net now
are against it and openly voic1ng their
sentiment.
When any class of people-and in
this instance they are numbered by
the thousands-are deprived OF a
source of revenue-there is bound to be
a veil. a wave of protest. This protest
is more pronounced this year than ever,
and the Conservation Commission of
Maryland, the officials of the United
States Bureau of Fisheries, the Biolog-
ical Survey and all who are interested
in this movement earnestly hope that
the coming session of the Maryland
Legislature will seal the doom Of the
purse nets in Chesapeake Bay and its
tributaries.
One feature of the movement which
will have great weight upon the men,

believe it was George Duncan
who some years ago took us to, task
because we do not pivot our hips as
far as he says we should. George
was then hot for the theory that golf
is PLAYED with the soles of the feet
and that you started your club back,
not with the straight left arm, but
with the body.
If YOU watch George Won Elm play
his long irons you will note that this
master of them does not follow Dun
cans advice. George, as we noted
Yesterday, starts his club back with
a straight left arm, the hips turning
or pivoting but little, the shoulders
quite a bit. You will also note that
in making this shot his whole body is
relaxed.
The trick in hitting with an iron is
to keep the face of the club going
through on the line your ball is to
carry for some little distance both
before and after contact. Slow mo-
ton pictures have proven that
ball does not instantly fly from the
face when contact is made. So, to
avoid slices or hooks you must carry
the face on out after striking the
ball on the line you wish the ball to
carry. Won Elm does so by keeping
his hips on a line and sliding them
through. That enables him to get
the weight of his body into the stroke
through the shoulders, as the slide
forward of the hips, so long as the
body is not swaying, tends to hold
the club on line even though the
shoulders pivot. To avoid body sway
note how, in the sketch, he keeps his
head down and eyes on the ball.

gress, knows his bowling likes

nected with it should be just so. Espe-
cially keen about the proper spotting
of pins, is George. Let one little maple
not be set in its rightful position, and
there's a howl from George. And he
always looks 'em over.
Contestants in The Evening Star in

ment to be held on the Lucky Strike

George is to be on the job during the
competition. He has volunteered to see
that this particular part of the affair
is handled in f1rst-class style, and
when George says he will do the work,
it will be done.
Most pinboys in the local establish
ments are rather careful about the
spotting of the little NAPLES, but every
once in while bowler will run across
a careless pin setter. And that means
trouble aplenty for the bowler. He
doesn't get the full benefit of we'll
delivered ball if the pins are not prop
erly placed. And occasionally good
pinboy, hurried by the bowler, will err
in spotting the pins Such slip also
works against the bowler.
Now George aims to protect the bowler
in this respect in The Star tournament.
Before the event gets under way the
National Duckpin Bowling Congress
secretary will mass the pinboys and in
form them of the absolute necessity OF
doing their work in the right manner
during the tourney. Then with the COM
petition started he will supervise the
work of the boys at the far end of
the drives.
This matter of pin-spotting will not
be the only one supervised by expert
enced bowling tourney handlers, while
man and woman duckpinners of the
District and the nearby Maryland and
Virginia counties are striving for the
many fine prizes at stake in The Star
event. Therell be competent foul line

Prizes on Display.
At noon today all of the prizes offered
by The Star to the 20 high scorers IN
the mems division and the 10 high scor-
ers in Women'S competition went on
display in the window of woodward &
Lothrop's department store at Eleventh
and F streets. These attractive trophies
will be shown there throughout this
week.
Such heated battle for prizes in The
Star tournament is expected that The
tournament committee has adopted a
plan for settling all ties among the lead
ers. In cases where two or more con-
teStants tie for prizes, those involved in
the deadlock will be required to engage
in a roll-off match to determine the
relative positions in the final standing.
With such large field in competl-
ton it is probable that many ties VIII
occur. Members of the tournament
committee will determine later this week
whether a one. three or five game roll
OF will be required to break these dead
locks.
Marjorie Bradt's sensational five
