A LURKING fear that Uncle
~ Sam would become the

mis- world by losing to Ar
gentina while his strongest play
ers were overseas was complete
ly diSSipated today as frankie
Shields and Sid Wood went after
q third and clinching victory in
the Western Hemisphere Davis
Cup final at Chevy Chase.
They were to meet the Argentine
COUPLES champions, Adriano Kappa and
Lucllo del Castillo, and were expected
70 duplicate their smashing triumphs
OF yesterday in the singles. Shields de-
1eated Guillermo Robson, 3-6, 60,
60, 60, and Wood polished of Ro-
naldo Boyd, Ga, 6-l and 60.
Argentina had been hailed as a steep
hurdle in the United States way to re-
capture the Davis Cup, put its strength
was not advertised until after it had
cleaned up South America with surpris-
Ing ease and after the Yankee aces
George Lott and Johnny Ryn, taking
things for granted-had gone to Europe
to become acclaimed for the finals.
Wood Redeems Himself.
But the youngster in whom centered
q bit OF doubt regarding the outcome
this side of the Atlantic, the slender
1s-year-old Wood. beaten by MARCEL
Rainv!ile In the tie with Canada. stole
the show yesterday at Chevy Chase.
Pitted against the giant Boyd, top
ranking player of South America, Sid
ney did what was least expected. He
not only outplayed the enemy's ace
generally, but was his complete master
In Boyd's forte-Slugging.
Wood put all the power it was pos
sible for him to muster into the drives
and they came over the net like StreakS
Of white. These he mixed with a va
riety of strongly Englished shots that
Boyd could not return with any degree
Of celebrity.
Wood also turned Boyds weight and
strength against the Argentine by clever
generalship, often running him from
one side Of the court to the other be-
fore placing Q ball outside his reach.
In turn he handled all the tremendous
speed Boyd put on some Of his shots
SO effectively that the Buenos Aires star
was unable tO score only two place
menCs.
Master Of Service.
His serve had been pointed out by
teammates as Boyd'S strongest weapon.
but Wood was a better master of the
stroke. He scored four service aces
against one for the Argentine and
broke through the latter'S service to
win six straight games in each of the
last two sets.
It seemed Shields was in for strug-

There is an old saying among fisher
men that when the locust trees are in
bloom the game rockfish are in the
Potomac River around Washington.
These trees now are In bloom, the rock
fish, am sure. are in the river. and the
condition Of the water, while slightly
cloudy today will be in splendid shape
for the anglers this week end, prov1d-
ing we have no rain.
Before the muddy water came down
stream, or, to be more exact, last FIJI
day, a colored man fishing near the
Chain Bridge landed q 5-pound rock
fish. This week end the anglers are sure
to land some of these gamesterS and
maybe hook one Of the big "fellers,"
along with some large or small mouth
black bass.
ID Cd AND STREAM issues warning
n to local anglers who contemplate
a fishing trip this week end in local
waters. The waters of the District OF
Columbia are very limited; he either has
to fish in the Eastern Branch, the Poto-
mac this side of Alexandria or the
GEORGETOWN Channel up the river to
the District line, located Just q short
distance the other side of Chain Bridge.
Reports have reached us that every Sat-
urday or Sunday arrests have been made
for violation of the Maryland fishing
laws at Little Falls. Local anglers do
not know just where the District ends,
and consequently find themselves In
trouble with the Maryland wardens:
To keep these anglers out OF trouble
am going to try to explain Just wnere
the District Maryland line crosses the
Potomac About half mile from the
Chain Bridge along the canal path
there Is an old house. This house is
said to rest on the dividing line, half
in the District and half in Maryland.
Then there is a wooden marker stand
ing on a high rock about so feet from
the waters edge and another on the
Virginia side about 20 feet from the
water to mark this line. This imag-
mary line crosses the river through what
is known as Middle Rock. This partic-
ular rock has an iron peg driven into
it. Anglers are asked to look for these
markers or signs to avoid getting into
trouble, as they certainly will II they
fish in Maryland territory.
HERRING still are in the waters
i i around Chain Bridge. A man by
the name Of Dodson, an employs
of the Washington Railway & Electric
Co.'S barn at Brightwood, landed 500
herring fishing Just q short distance
above the Chain Bridge. He started
fishing Wednesday night at 10 O'Clock
and Thursday morning ut z o'clock had
snagged so many fish he had trouble ir
