CEASONS may come and seasons may
- 60, but the fishing season in vari-
Gus sections of the country con-
tinues, and the battles with the deni-
zens of the deep furnishes many
thrill in Southern Vaters during the
Winter months. At the present time
anglers are hocking to the Florida
coast. and there is no better place to
test ones skill. 1t is down in those
waters that the big fellers" are to be
found, and when they are hooked a
battle lasting for hours is q common
occurrence.
Around Washington the anglers, at
least some Of them. are getting ready
to pull In the big catfish. It's odd
that these big "cats" are landed only
during January and February. Now
that we have had q little ice on the
river. and much snow in the noun
tains, and also several days of real
warm weather which caused Q sudden
thaw, the water may be expected to
become muddy, and that Ii the time
the really large catfish take their food.
Some weighing as much as 20-odd
pounds are landed each year, and
when one Is hooked It puts up . great
fight before being finally landed.
The bass anglers can look forward
to some real good sport In Little River.
Last Winter at this time many Of
these gamesters were landed along
with crappie by those fishing In the
deep holes In this stream.

RUNYAN AND DUTRA.
SETTING GOLF PACE
Tied at 1873, Two Under Par,
for Lead in Los Angeles
Open Tourney.
BY PAUL ZIMMERMAN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

T OS ANGELES, January g.
Two par-plundering golfers
L. from the Pacific and At
lantic seaboards, Paul Run
yam and Olin Dutra, set the pace
today as the Los Angeles open
golf championship moved into
the final SO holes of play.
Dutra, swarthy Spanish conquistador
of the links, had 18-hole cards OF ST
and II for his 138-stroke total, two
under par for the Los Angeles Country
Club course. Runyan of White Plains,
N. Y, had a pair OF COS.
Today they were paired together, this
230-pound bronZed Santa Monica pro,
and the 130-pound fastener. along
with their closest challenger, young
Charles Seaver, Los Angeles amateur.
Seaver, who learned his golf on this
course. was only stroke behind, with
II and 68 for a 139 total
While warm argument was ex-
pected from this trio as 1t marched over
the treacherous Beverly Hills course. 1t
had sufficient cause for alarm from
other quarters, with of the field
of Sc remaining entrants within easy
striking distance of the lead. and a
quintet Of others far from out of the
running. These included John Revolta,
youthful professional from Milwaukee,
with 142 and Macdonald Smith, the
veteran Scot from Nashville, Tenn.

tourna ament has won the title three

aces In Vic Caron, who won both the
120 high and 220 yard low hurdles in
the last meet, and Dave Sprinkle, who
was victorious in the pole vault and
high Jump and tied for first in the
high Jump. Incidentally, the coming
season will be the first since Mike
Kelley became track coach at Eastern,
and this season Is his sixth at that
job, that the Lincoln Parkers have not
monopolized the situation in the hur-
dies. Before Caron ruled the roost 1t
was Slye and Everett. Fisher, who was
third In the 220 low hurdles q cam
paign ago, also Is no longer In school.
Drake, who tied for second In the pole
Spring, also has been lost.
~ ASTERN has had little strength in
r. the running department, espe-
cially in the dashes, for several
years. and does not figure to have much
in this respect the coming season. The
Lincoln Parkers, 1t appears, will have
to depend upon Campbell, who won
the discus in the last title meet and
was second in the shotput: Switzer and
Miller, who tied Sprinkle for first place
in the high jump: Wolfe in the discus
and Copper and Joe Mills in the broad
Jump to do most Of their scoring.
Lewis, Mahoney and Keegin Of last
seasons Eastern relay team are back.
Mostow having been lost. Keegin is
not to be counted on heavily, though,
as he also will play base ball
Central and Western, who scored q
few points in the last meet. but were
far behind Tech and Eastern, are not
expected to be appreciably stronger In
the coming campaign.

TROM all the aspiring amateur
H golfers Of Washington who have
played or hope to play in the
national amateur championship
came words OF praise today for the
change in the method of playing the
amateur title tourney, made final by
the United States Golf Association at
its annual meeting.
The washington contingent of quail
fiers has not been very successful IN
making the grade in the qualifying
test at the championship proper IN
recent years, since the sectional quail
fication method first was put in opera
tion. In 1881 none of the Washington
players qualified. In 1882 out Of nine
espirants, one qualified, and was beaten
in the first match play round, and in
1883 out of five starters all failed to
make the grade at the championship.
To all Of them, from Miller B. Stew
inson, who has been playing in the
national for 10 years, down to Billy
Dettwefler, youngest competitor in the
1882 title tourney, the change to
straight match play came as a distinct
relief
II means that those who qualify Sec

Consider SteNinson last year at Gin
cinnati. He started the medal round
with an on the first hole. In match
play that would simply have been a
lost hole, but in medal play he had to
carry that over IS more holes. The
burden was too great. And don't forget
that Dunlap. the new champion, and
Marston, the runner-up, barely got in
via the play-off route.
The change in the method OF play
was forecast by The Star more than
two months ago. in an interview with
U. s. G. A.. ofdcial. It meets with
the undisguised approval Of Fred NC
Leod, the Columbia pro. who has ad-
vocated the British system for many
years.
one of the main features of the plan
is that with 100 to qualify. there will
be more places open in the sectional
tests. which will make the champion
shin a real battle royal from the very
start. without the uncertainty OF quail
fication. It will make such golfers as
jess Sweetser formidable competitors.

On August 5, 1888, the Federal News

"A match between equals. wins and

even number of games, so that each
player may have the first move the

This seems to be the basis Of the
method used in arriving at conclusions
in the checker tournament for the
championship of the District, conducted
by the Federal Checker Club, in which
wins and draws are counted, and not
losses Correctly interpreted this rule
would give the usual result. A game
won would give the winner an aff1rma-

get a negative point. and q draw would

- Most of the professional foot ball
players in the East come from
the West, where they grow big and
tough. So says Mel Helm, all-America
center at Washington State College
in 1890. now with the New York
Giants and center on the 1888 all
pro team.
Helm will play with the Pacific
Coast team against the Chicago
Bears in the annual Knights Of Co.

a few days here resting up from a
hard season with the Giants.
Very few men from the Atlantic
Seaboard are playing professional
foot ball" said Helm. The farther
West you go the more rugged the
college men are. and almost half the
PLAYERS on the 10 teams in the Ma
tional League are from the Pacific
Coast"

The New Yorker went down for a
