~ ALIFORNIA chess enthusiasts
4 celebrate annually one day In
June, a day set aside to COM
~ memorate the blessed memory
OF the immortal Paul Morphy. Amer
ica's greatest contribution to the chess
players Valhalla. The Annual Morphy
Day Chess Carnival is held at Sierra
Madre. To it come hundreds Of vota-
ries of chess from all over the State
SuIlinger Attended Mckinley.
Morphy day is only one of the ac-
tivities conducted by the Southern
California Chess League, at whose head
stands George w. Sullinger, former
president of the Pasadena Chess Club
and a director of the National Chess
Federation, U. S. A.
At present engaged in business in
San Gabriel, Calf. George once at
tended the public schools Of Washing
ton and was graduated from Mckinley
High School in June, 1901. Fondly
he recalls serving as a major in the
Mckinley Cadet Corps.
In existence for the past seven years,
the Southern California Chess League
now has a membership Of l8 clubs,
which entered in 1886 in competitive
tournament play some ~ teams with
eight players to the team.
The league has four playing sec
tions-A, B. C and D. A represents
| the cream of the crop and D section
is for beginners. Tournament play
commences in November and EXTENDS
into March of the following year. In
| addition to the Winter tournament the
| league conducts a tournament for the
championship of Southern California.
The Morphy day festival winds up the
years activities and is fitting climax
to the program of one of the best
chess leagues in the United States.
On Morphy day chess players renew
old friendships and meet new lovers of
the royal game. The best talent Of
Southern California assemblies to give
the beginners thrill in their wiz
ardry. The gathering is saturated
both men and women, consultation
games, simultaneous exhibitions,
blindfold stunts, special master tour
neyS and casual games constitute the
agenda of events.
The outstanding chess periodical on
the Pacific Coast is the Chess Re-
porter, but the Southern League has
its interests represented by q most
enterprislng organ, the Western Chess
Chronicle, edited by Alfred L. Paul
of Torrance, Calf.
If poll were taken of the States to
determine those among the more
chess conscious" it would reveal New
York as the chess hub of America,
with Illinois and California as two of
most important spokes in the wheel
California is a land of iSns and
cults. 1t is fertile field for chess.

Incorporated in 1884.

"NEED for a more businesslike, self
perpetuating body to carry on
the regatta was recognized as early as
1882 The 1888 regatta saw the intro
duction of swimming, rowing and
canoeing events. and the first of the
beautiful Illuminated night pageantS.
The addition of these events to the
regatta program still further broad
ened the interest and participation OF
the community, and it was definitely
realized that the regatta had become
q large civic enterprise instead Of an
aquatic activity of single group.
I'm March, 1884, the President s
Cup Regatta Association was formally
incorporated. The Articles of in
corporation represented the careful
thought Of men closely associated with
the regatta for number of years, who
had in mind the creation of an or
ganization which would not only carry
on the Presidents Cup Regatta, but
which would be so strong and so
representative as to assume place Of
leadership in all aquatic interests lii
and around Washington. The OBJ
1ectives of the association are to pro-
mote the sport of boating and the i'm
provement of the water facilities In
and around Washington"
That capable management of and
equitable representation in the asso-
citation has been assured is seen from
q glance at the names of the men who
have been at its head and now serve
as the Board of Governors. With H.
P. Somerville serving as executive
secretary four groups named the fol-
lowing men:

IN SPITE Of the order against the
nets, their use probably will be con-
tinued for some time. Several cases
have already been reported, although
the blues have been in but few short
weeks. You can help stamp this out If
you will report all illegal netting to the
State Conservation Commission. When
one of these boats comes near you get
its name or registration number. When
these fish bootlegeers see that sports
men are assisting authorities they will
be more careful in how they go about
netting fish, and eventually, we hope,
the gill net will be relic of the past.

gill nets, and it seems that the
State Of Maryland is at last going
10 do something about it. Commercial
fishermen have come up to within 20
or 80 yards of an anglers boat and
calmly set out their nets, and have
either scooped up all the fish or fright
ened them away while the sportsman
sat helplessly by gritting his teeth and
unable to do anything about it. This
has been especially true in regard TO
bluefish, priced by sportsmen for their

Spectacular History of Regatta Skeced BY Director Remon
ROD AND STREAM
BY GEORGE HUBER.

Capt. J. o. Rogers, Holland Point to
the Sisters Grounds.
THERE still are plenty of Winter
shad here in the Tidal Basin, but
the trouble Is that they are dead
plenty dead. They've been dead for
long time. ever since that protracted
cold spell last Winter when they froze
in the ice. Hundreds Of these half
decayed fish are floating in the water,
especially along the shore, where the
wind has blown them. They were
supposed to have been cleaned out
long ago, and some of them were, but
there still are enough left to make it
very unpleasant around the basin
There hardly is a place where an
angler may drop his line without hsv-
ing it rest on a Shiny, smelly shad
corpse.
On day that is even the least bit
warm the stencil rising from the basin
Is almost nauseating. Not only is it
unpleasant for fishermen, but its in
a fair way of becoming a health
menace, and it's about time the Ma
tional Capital Parks did something
about removing them. If they can't
get some one to net them out then they
should have them flushed out. Of
flcials of the engineers Office claim
that if they were flushed out into the
Washington Channel they would lodge
along the piers and wharves and be
even more of a menace. Possibly
the shad could be let out by picking
a time when the wind and tides were
right. They soon would disappear
below Alexandria.
If this won't work there are other
ways Of getting rid of them. It's an
engineering problem and should be
worked out between the Park Service
and the engineers Office, and it
should be worked out soon. In the
meanwhile those shad are rotting
away and transferring the Tidal Basin
into something that smells like a soap
factory working three shifts. It's
getting so that a self-respecting bass
won't even live there any more.
NOW that we've got that off our
chest we'll transfer you to the
pleasant waters Of the West River

idea that Washington would be an
ideal place to hold a national regatta,
one in keeping with the prestige OF
the Nations Capital. 1t was decided
TO have a gold cup. sponsored by the
President of the United States, as the
chief trophy of the regatta and to call
the event the Presidents Cup re-

 The highest wind shown on the U.S.Weather Bureau Instruments was 40 miles per hour for a five minute period while A miles were measured for a 2 minute period at 8:57 pm. The automa- tic record at Nome records only actual miles and the time in dis tance and therefore does not show guinness and it is estimated that gusts of possible 56 miles per hr. occurred in sections of Nome, dur ing the storm Hast night.
