y PORT lovers who also are in
terested in philately will ap-
preciate the compliment which
the postal authorities of the
Irish Free State recently have paid
to the ancient and honorable game
known as hurting.
A stamp to mark the golden jubi-
lee of the Gaelic Athletic Association
has been brought out in Dublin, and
the first specimens of the new issue
to cross the Atlantic were received in
Washington last week.
OF standard size and deep green
in color, the commemorative Is a
Up value. All the inscriptions are
in Gaelic text, the word "Eire'' sig
nifying Erin or Ireland. An official
description of the design speaks of
the central motif as being that of an
athlete in vigorous action" and the
figure undeniably is vibrant with life
The artist probably had the advan-
tage Of an intimate acquaintance with
the game, as well as such assistance
as photographs could give. In any
case, the picture is dramatic in its
vitality. The player could not lave
been more energetically portrayed.
For Americans. however, the stamp

Three Leave Tuesday and Two on
Wednesday for Brookline
for U. S. Amateur.

DY WEDNESDAY all the five Wash
ID ington qualifiers for the ma
tional will have shaken the dust
Of the Capital from their feet and will
be headed for Brookline, where on
September 10 George Terry Dunlap
will start the defense of his amateur
crown he won last year at Cincinnati.
Dunlap, along with w. Lawson
Little, the California Larruper, will
be favorite to defend his title.
And don't let any one insist that
George won't fling potent shots to-
ward holding his crown. He won i'm
presSively last year and he set a new
course record at Brookline in 1882
with 66. George Dunlap is a worthy
champion and may come fairly close
to repeating.
Gene Vinson and Jimmy Drain,
two OF the Washington qualifiers, are
not due to leave Washington until
Wednesday. Billy Dettweiler, John
Shorey and Martin Mccarthy, the
other three who made the grade for
the national, will leave on Tuesday.

old shoes or sneakers and any old
thing to cover the body will do. The

ID. c. Meet Thriller.

MOT in 10 years has there been so
IN much general interest shown in
the District amateur golf cham
pionship as there was last week at
Columbia, where Gene Vinson, one of
the finest golfers ever to show his
wares around Washington, triumphed
in final round over Billy Dettweiler.
And it has been many years since a
champion clung so consistently to par
as did Vinson.
Nowhere along the trail to the title
did the tall Mississippian, who is on
the secretarial staff of Senator Pat
Harrison, have an easy match. And
at every stage of the title chase he
showed the stuff it takes to win golf
matches.
A slow starter, Vinson was in
trouble in the early stages of every
match he played, but he came through
like true champion, conserving his
real stuff until the final holes of each
match.
For example, against young Willis
Hard in the first round, he was 2
down after the first six holes and
won easily with 70. Against Roger
Peacock he was down with Z to
| go and won on the final green with
a 10. Against Hickman Greene, in
the semi-final, with the match all
] square at the seventeenth, he hooked

TOMORROw, ordinarily is great
day for the anglers, but this
year those seeking large and
small mouth black bass will be
disappointed in the majority of cases
to find that their favorite streams are
muddy. Both the Potomac and Shen-
andoah are very muddy at Harpers
Ferry and around Washington the
Potomac is very cloudy.
The Washington Channel and the
Tidal Basin are clear, these two
places being the only fishing grounds
around Washington where the anglers
may cast with any degree Of certainty
that the fish can see their lures. Some
good size bass we're landed in the
Washington Channel last week, one
hooked by Fats" Harding weighing
close to three pounds.
In Piscataway Greek at Fort Wash
ington the water is clearing and bass
are being caught, according to Sergt.
Richardson. Across the river in
Aubrey Sheppard reports. He says
bass are taking minnows as well as
artificial lures. On the Maryland side
no license is required, but in Gunston
Cove, in Virginia, one is needed.
TN SALT water the anglers will have
a picnic catching the blues re-
ported to be breaking from
SolomonS Island up the bay to the
mouth of West River.
Fishing Thursday at Solomons Island
with Capt. Harry Woodburn in his
speed boat we ran into many small
blues and in about one hours fishing
landed "a. Friday afternoon Capt.
Woodburn called me and said, Come
on down, the blues are breaking every
where"
There is no doubt about the blues
and sea trout making their way up
the bay.
TN THE Susquehanna River, below
the Conowingo Dam, rockfish are
reported to be very active, but
running much smaller than usual.
Wall-eyed pike and bass also are
biting.
At Rock Run Mill, Nd, W. W.
Wilkinson said bass fishing is excellent
Ten bass were landed by one fisher
man In two and one-hah hours.
And here's another report show
ing that the blues are making up
the bay. Louis Markell at Sparrows
Point, Md, reports some fine catches
trolling.
LAWN Blackston, jr., at Rock Hall,
Md, reports small blues are OF Swan
Point in large numbers.
Capt. Roland England at Plum
Point, Md, said that good catches
of blues, sea trout and hardbead are
being made.
EISHING in the lower Potomac
was good last week. Blues are
being caught trolling and sea

Kid Has No Nerves.

CHEA, Bobby Brownell, conqueror
y of Maury Nee in the tnterscholas-
tic; Jack Higgins, Jack Keele,
Harvey johnson, all Of these should
do well in the coming junior title
chase, out of which will come our
leading golfers of tomorrow. But Shea,
on what he has shown, is the top of
'em all, barring Champion Billy Dett-
weller. The Shea boy met Luther
Steward In the first round of the Dis
trict title tourney this week at Colum-
bia. A nd Luther, the Congressional
champion several times, a tried and
experienced tournament competitor,
didn't shake of 16-year-old Billy
until the twentieth hole.
81 don't think the boy has any
nerves." Luther told me- Time after
time put the pressure up to him and
he never showed a quiver of nerves.
He banged 'em in and kept on bang
ing 'em In until / wondered whether
it would ever STOP" At the eighteenth
Billy flung high iron shot from a
hanging lie to the green 100 yards
away and Luther had to get down a
tricky 4-footer to halve They played
the round In IA, which goes to show
the Shea lad is no set-up. Some of
that kind of golf will win him the
Junior title tourney next week.

SHEA IS FAVOR|TE
IN TITLE TOURNEY
Congressional Club Youth
Wins Stewards Praise
as GameSter.

w WITH Champion Billy Dett-
NA/ weller, the tall 16-year-old
Congressional kid, due to
relinquish his title, that
Junior District golf championship
next week at Indian Spring shapes
up as one of those tournaments where
anything may happen. 1t usually does,
too, where the younger crop of golfers
are concerned. for consistency is
jewel ordinarily lacking in the galaxy
Of boys who haven't yet attained the
steadiness that comes with years at
the game.
The Dettweiler youngster, disap-
pointed because the District Golf AS
sociation would not set back the
Junior title chase to enable him to de-
fend without cutting short his pre-
liminary practice at Brookline for the
national, plans to leave Washington
next Tuesday, the day before the
junior tourney starts. Billy is the
class of the youngsters. There is little
doubt of that. But there is one kid
a clubmate of Billy at Congressional
who Is the heir apparent to the junior
throne and will come fairly close to
winning that title tourney next week
over Indian Springs classic fairwayS.
That youngster is another Billy,
whose last name is Shea. Billy Shea
was runner-up to Dettweiler for
the District junior crown last year,
and If there is anything in poetic JUS
tice in golf, he should win this year
to succeed the champion. But the
Shea boy doesn't need such an in
tangible thing as poetic justice to win
golf matches. He has considerable
equipment on the physical and shot
making side. To date he has been over
shadowed by that other Billy, but he
isn't far behind, not more than a
shot or two round back of the Dett-
weller younpSter

Remarkable SHOEMAKER.


TIE IS a good champion and a
i i worthy one. AS SHOEMAKER he
is close to the top in any league.
Out there on the sixth hole Of the
final round he deliberately cut his tee
shot to place it in the best spot for
his second. He played one of the
finest approach puts I ever have seen
at the tenth, where he had to climb
steep slope, and a ball anywhere
within 4 feet would have been good.
He stopped the ball 8 inches from
the cup.
And at the twelfth he played one of
the great iron shots of the tourna-
ment, No. shot which ended on
the green from the rough. His iron
seconds at the fourteenth and fif-
teenth were marvels of execution.
But Of all the fine shots made in
that final round, Billy Dettweiler's
second shot to the third green was
the best. Stymied by sall tree, Billy
took f1at-faced iron and nit the
OdA1 4OW t1IC I1CC W J1lC SICCIl
100 yards away. To get there he had
to run through narrow opening be-
tween two yawning traps, and so well
did the shot come of that the ball
ended only 8 feet from the pin. He
sank the putt for birdie.
The general interest and the size
of the galleries in that first District
tourney played at match play in IA
years is the answer to the District
Golf Associations query-match or
medal play? Not in years has there
been such general interest shown in
the local title chase as there was last
week at Columbia.
You will always find more gallery
interest and better show in a match
play tournament than in one at medal
play.

IA AMOR CLUB golfers are jubi-
M liant these days as they gaze
down that first fairway
toward the bend in the woods
past which stands the first green. It's
all because the big trap down there
around the 200-yard mark has been
removed.
The chorus of squawks which arose
after q good tee shot landed in that
trap caused the Greens Committee Of
the club, always amenable to new
ideas, to close up that pesky trap and
now all the Manor golfers have to
contend with on the first hole Is the
woods on either side. The first hole
is a par affair and a tough one, but
it will be easier now that the trap has
been removed And further to re-
liev the minds of ailing buffers, Chair
man Dave Thomson of the Greens
Committee, has filled in the ditch
which paralleled the seventh fairway
on the left side.
