close watch over the anglers around

We reported the matter to police

to Capt. Collins of the seventh precinct

The real honest-to-goodnes angler
appreciates the work being done by the
Izaak Walton League and others inter-
eSted in conserving our fish life. Anglers
who fish in the Potomac River from
the Little to Great Falls say there are
more bass in the river than for years
past. This condition is due largely to
the Maryland law requiring every angler
to obtain license to fish in the Potomac
above tidewater. Yet, if reports reach
ing us are true, there are some men
who do not seem to care whether or
not any other anglers catch anything
so long as they get theirs. Snagging
bass is against the law at any time of
the year, both in District of Columbia
waters and in Maryland.
In our opinion Virginia made big
mistake in including Fairfax, Va, as
tidewater county. This was done by
the last General Assembly of Virginia,
and by so doing permits the angler to
fish from the Virginia shore from Lit
tie Falls to Great Falls without license.
But, if the anglers steps into a boat

season was the victory of Clarence Taft
in The Evening Stars first annual indi-
vidual tournament. Taft zoomed from
obscurity by shooting a set of 654 for
five games. He won the largest indi-
vidual tournament ever held in Wash
ington with plenty to spare, although
the entry Of more than 1000 bowlers
included a complete lineup Of stars.
This tournament proved conclusively
the oft-repeated observation that the
bowler of ordinary skill has worth
while chance against the star in brief
series of games. More than half of
those who took the first 10 prizes were
bowlers unknown to fame.
Organized competition for this sea-
son ended with the Washington City
Duckpin Association tournament at the
Coliseum, concluded Friday. This drew
a record entry of 35l teams.
Convention Hall Team Best.
The years outstanding team was that
representing Convention Hall in the
District League. With Harry K. Burt
ner as captain and Jack Whalen, Glenn
Wolstenholme, Red Megaw, Al Work
and Jack Wolstenholme his charges,
Convention Hall set a precedent by
winning the pennant for the third sue
cessive time The champions also set
up a record for team average with
mark of 572.
Washington bowlers cleaned up in the
second annual tournament of the Ma
tional Duckpin Bowling Congress, held
in Richmond. The Capital, however.
was favored with a pr>ponderance of
entries, with Baltimore as its only seri-
GUS rival Next years tournament will
be held in New England, the city yet to
be determined
A spur was given the sport as a whole
by the opening of two large alleys-the
Lucky Strike and Arcadia-and a num-
Der of small ones. Washington mag
mates were responsible, too, for a bowl
ing boom in Dixie. John S. Blick put
the game over in Richmond, and ]. w.

it started in a big way at Charlotte,

prises led to other ventures.

he had made a thorough investigation

MI. Waters also states he was in

by Mr. Perry Miller, to the effect
that bass were being snagged with gang
hooks around Little Falls in the waters
of the Potomac in Maryland territory.
Mr.. Waters has made a thorough

the report to be true relative to the
