~ VERY angler in the District OF
Columbia, Maryland and Viz
ginia is up in arms over the
proposed compromise of the
black bass bill in the Maryland
LEGISLATURE. A report reaches this col
unln that despite facts and figures pre-
sented to the Ash and game committee
of the Maryland Senate by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries and by men
who have made study of the bass sit
nation. the action of the committee fol-
lowing the meeting was to present to
the Maryland Senate compromise
measure. providing for a closed season
on bass during the months of April
MAY. June and July. This compromise
also provides that no bass shall be sold
or shipped in or out of the State OF
MARYLAND during the closed season. A
clause was inserted in the measure to
allow the rod and reel angler to fish for
bass in tidewater on the same date as
provided for inland streams, July /.
The purse-net bill also was changed
and provides that no nets shall be oper-
ated in any Maryland waters except in
Chesapeake Bay, that the boundary
lines shall remain the same in the bay
as in the past. and that the opening
of the season for these commercial
fishermen shall be July IS, instead of
June is, curtailing their operations one
month.
In the opinion of this column. both
the above measures were compromised
in favor of the commercial fishermen
Why the black bass bill was not pre-
sented to the Senate as originally in
troduced Is a mystery. The bill was
right, and right should never be COM
promised Thirty-eight States in the
Union have passed legislation protecting
the bass. These SO States may all be
wrong and Maryland right. but try to
find some one outside of the CONNER
cial fishermen who believes 1t.
These two measures If enacted into
law may be an entering wedge and lead
to better things In the next Legislature.
Some may say half a loaf is better
than no loaf" and they may be right.
but there are hundreds of anglers who
are greatly disappointed by the failure
of the Maryland Senate committee to
present the bill as introduced by State
Senator Chambers.
A closed season during the months
of April, May, June and July does pro-
tect the bass during the most important
season of the year. Those are the
months in which these fish carry and
lay their spawn. and the protection af-
forded them will mean the saving of
thousands of brood fish which other
wise would be lost through the killing
of the parent fish.
Conditions In Chesapeake Bay will
be the same this year as in past sea-
sons, because the purse meters will be

the boundaries of the club property
along those portions of the course where
there may be some doubt as to whether
ball is out of bounds. The accepted
definition of a ball cut of bounds is a
ball Off club property. This condition
exists chiefly along the left side of the
eighth fairway where a ball may be
struck out of bounds without being very
far of the line. DR.. McClenahan pro-
poses to set up "out of bounds" posts
all along the border of the club property

struct on each end of the stone house
wings. which will furnish locker faclli-
ties for 500 persons. provide two card

Regarding the Kedrofs
And Their Vocal Quartet

MUSIC lovers of Washington already
ANA have shown interest in the con-
cert of the Kedroff Quartet, scheduled
for Central High School auditorium,
October %, under auspices Of the Com
munity Institute.
There are few vocal quartets in ex-
istence: even So the Kedroff ensem-
BILE is unique in artistry. 1t required
long years of devotional work to achieve
the heights they have reached. Their
sole aim Is attaining perfection, the
perfection of a group of stringed in
struments, combined with unity Of in
depreciation. It is their desire to keep
any one voice from gaining the ascend
ancy over the others. ~.
The Kedroff Quartet, of all singing
ensemble groups, comes closest to
achieving oneness of expression" writes
Charles Isaacson in the New York
Telegraph, at times, the most minute
observation could not disclose which
voice belonged to any one Of the sing
erS. The result is a blending of the
tones. set of nuances which is be-
yond comparison. If l were to try in
a single phrase to write review of the
Kedroff Quartet, I should say The
Flonzalay of Vocal Quartets.' What the
famous F1onzalay Quartet has done for
chamber music and with stringed IN
struments, the Kedroff gentlemen have
accomplished with the human voice"
The Kedroff Quartet is an authority
on Russian folk and church music. The
quartet was originally formed in 1897
by Prof. N. N. Kedroff; his brother.

in the School of Musical Technique in

Stokowski Will Conduct
Orchestra Here Nov.

THE Philadelphia Symphony Orches-
ira. under the direction Of Leopold
Stokowski, will inaugurate its thirtieth
season in Washington November S at
the Constitution Hall at 4:30 pm.
There will be four concerts in all, the
first two to be conducted by Stokowski,
the remainder by GabrilowitSch.
Due to the fact that there will be
few changes in the personnel of the or
cheStra, it is. expected that the en-
Semble will be as smooth at the open
ing performance as it usually is in the
middle of the season.
One of the outstanding events of the
series will be the appearance of Efren
ZimbaliSt, violiniSt, who will be the
soloist at the February concert. Other
SoloistS are under consideration.
During the last few seasons the Phil
adelphia Orchestra has curtailed its
out-of-town concerts in order to play
more performances in its home city
Mr.. Stokowski's interest in the Wash
ington series is so keen, however, that
there has never been any question of
eliminating that series. One less pro-
gram, however, Is being given than is
customary.
Tickets for the series are on sale at
T. Arthur Smiths concert bureau, in
Homer L. Kits store, 1880 G street
northwest.
