carlia Reservoir every method known
except nets and dynamite is permitted
to catch what is primarily a game
fish. Bass is an excellent food fish,
but as its sale is prohibited in Wash
ington, commercial fishermen will
have nothing to do with them. They
are sought more for their fighting
qualities which endear them so to
the heart of anglers-their bold leap,
Another reason for their scarcity is
that the eggs and young fish are par
ticular delicacies to the catfish, and
this section Of the river is way over
stocked with cats. Nothing can be
done about that. But what can be
done is to change the black bass
regulations so as to permit them being
taken only on artificial bait. Putting
a live minnow on your hook will
insure more bass in your creel. but it
really doesn't test your skill.
SOMETHING that really takes skill
Is catching a bass on plug, fly
or bug, and even that has been made
easier for anglers in recent years by
various bait concerns who are putting
out lures that are getting to be more
and more lifelike in their actions. One
company even issues a chart with its
lures which tells just which one to use
for every fishing condition.
II you want more bass by the use of
artificial lures it Is advisable to do
something more than just cast it out
and reel 1t in. It is amazing to see
how many anglers do Just that. In a
trip around the Tidal Basin recently
not once did this writer see a bait
caster use anything other than the
toss and reel method. 1t is especially
important to manipulate the plug in
bass fishing, because many times bass
may be teased into hitting your lure
out of curiosity or just plain cussed-
ness.
Bait manipulation applies to both
topwater and underwater plugs. as we'll
as to those which are a combination
of both, such as the zig-zag type. This
bait floats, and when retrieved dives
and travels under water with an erratic
action.
nIFFERENT types of bait are in
tended by their manufacturer to
be handled In special ways and will
produce amazing results, and also In
terest and amuse the angler.
"Chugging," "plunking" or pop
fishing" is done with q floating and
diving lure Cast out in the usual
way, and allow it to lie still for a few
seconds and then, with most of the

TN MANY ways the most successful
golf team matches around Wash
ington has come to and end today
with the three championships in as
many classes in the hands of feminine
divot nfters from Congressional and
Beaver Dam. Congressional women,
riding the crest of the winning wave,
annexed both the first and third
matches, while the women from
Beaver Dam won the second team con-
tests. In all classes the matches were
close with the possibility of an upset
remaining right down to the final day
of play yesterday when Mrs. Ralph w.
Payne, president of the Women's Dis
trict Golf Association jumped around
like flea on hot griddle presenting
cups to the captains of the winning
teams, first at Manor, where the first
team matches were concluded; second
at Kenwood, where the second teams
wound up their series. and next at
Beaver Dam, where the third team
matches we're completed. The round
up finished a schedule whicl. started
on April 81.
Congressional with a strong team,
won the first team contests with
point total of 81, winding up the season
in the final match at Manor by suffer-
ing a 6-to-3 defeat at the hands of
Chevy Chase, visitors for the last two
years. But Congressional had piled
up such a lengthy lead in previous
matches that Chevy Chase, strong as
it was, couldn't win the two extra
points needed to win again. Congress
sional went into the final contest with
515 point lead over Chevy Chase.
The winning team was composed of
Mrs. Roland Mackenzie, captain:
Helen Dettweiler, Mrs. j. o. Rhyme,
Mrs. Elsie Haynes, Mrs. j. F. Dowdall
and Mrs. w. r. Bush. The Chevy
Chase team was made up of Elizabeth
Houghton, Mrs. Laura B. Platt, Mrs.

as follows: Columbia beat Army-Navy

ity of the American Federation of
Labor in the national election today.
The federation will cling to it's
traditional nonpartisan policy despite
efforts of the Nonpartisan Labor

labor issue against Governor Alf M.
Landon by John L. Lewis, George L.

said.
His insistence on the federation S

it's first national convention here this

FORD FLAYS HITLER
SNUB OF NEGRO STARS

New York-(CNA)-Adolph Hitler's
departure from the Olympic Games in
Berlin to avoid receiving three Amer
lean winners, including two Negroes,
was an insult to the American dele
cation, James w. Ford, Communist
Negro Vice Presidential candidate,
said this week. Hitler, who on Sun
day, Aug. 2, welcomed other victors,
left before receiving Cornelius john
son, Dave Albritton, Negroes, and
Elos Thurber, white California star.
Subsequently Hitler also sighted
Jesse Owens and other Negro victors.
'1t fully confirms the conviction of
those who opposed American partici-
patton in the Berlin show" Ford said,
"that the Nazis would, in this respect
as in all others, violate every rule
of decency.
Everyone who observes good
craftsmanship cannot but view with
disgust the latest exhibition of Nazi
insolence that flows from the ridicu-
lous conception of Aryan superiority.
1t is disgrace that the best repre-
sentatives in American sports should
be compelled to suffer humiliation at
the hands of the Nazis."

A PERFECT SCORE

Editorial From the Daily Worker)
The Nazis are not likely to win
the Olympics, but so far they have
a perfect score in one respect:
Two days of competition, and two
insults to the Negro people-one for
each day.
Hitler himself started the ball roll
ing Sunday when he did in a small
way what the Nazi regime does in
large way every day of the year:
He deliberately snubbed two American
Negro athletes, Cornelius Johnson and
Dave Albritton, who carried off the
high jump. In order to avoid meet
ing them, as he had other winners,
dainty Adolph the Fuehrer left his
box.
Yesterday the Hitler stooges who
dominate the International Olympic
Committee, acting in spirit of their
Fuehrer, chalked up insult number
flash to his breath-taking record y
breaking 1912 second mark for the
100-meter dash established by the
sensational Negro athlete. Jesse
Owens. This action was so raw that
even Hearst's pro-Nazi New York
Journal expresses skepticism.
"a so-called favoring wind was
dragged in to shear the ebony Ohio
flash of his breath-taking record" !"
writes Davis ]. Walsh in the Journal
No politics in the Olympics?
The American Negro athletes-and
their white team members, too, we
hope-are learning what it means to
try to promote the Olympic ideals Of
craftsmanship and international
friendship under regime that spits
on everything decent and democratic,
and lives by murder and the incite-
ment of the most bestial race and ma
tional hatred.
