A newly-formed fishing club
bids fair to be the ranking and
most exclusive in the world, be-
cause of it's restrictive entrance
requirement. To be eligible, it re
quires the catch of tuna, marlin
or mako in excess of 400 pounds
for men and 300 pounds for
women, in Bahaman waters.
Such is the Bahaman Marlin
and Tuna Club. 1t is headed by
the big game hunter and author,
Ernest Hemingway, of Key West,
as president.
Other Officials
Other officials include such big
game fishermen as Kip Earring
ton, whose stories you have often
seen in Cosmopolitan; Thomas
Shevlin, football player of note,
several years back, and Michael
Lerner. For historian, we have
our old friend Fri Roman, of
Miami, who writes the finest fish
ing column that has ever come to
our attention.
The real purpose of the club is
to weigh and classify correctly,
the fish caught in Bahaman
waters, in a maner equally fair
to both angler and fish, and to
promote better feeling among
fishermen.
Smoke houses are II be erected
on ,Bimini Cay in order that the
meat of the fish saved for record
and mounting be not lost. Pro
ceeds from this will go toward the
expenses and support Of the club.

Mr.. Akaboshi learned the game

devoted his time to teaching the
arts of the ancient game to his
countrymen.
Some Of the great golfers Of
Japan are former pupils of Mr..

Cont. from First Sports Page
attendance at boxing and there
fore qualified to testify.
Since the fans have spoken,
perhaps we may interpose con-
structive thought for the i'm
provement of the officiating and
the bringing about of decisions
more generally acceptable to the
public.
Should Hire Judges
Doesn't a rather unequal condi-
ton obtain in arriving at the Of
fetal verdictS at washington
fights?
Isn't it a little obtuse to have
q paid referee in the ring, col
laborating with two unpaid judges
at the ringside?
Isn't it possible for the two I'M
paid judges to completely upset
the finding of the paid referee?
AS matter of truth, doesn't that
very thing happen time and
again?
When any individual accepts
money for a specific duty, there
is, of course, a strong feeling of
responsibility that, can't possibly
exist where two others are per-
forming a similar duty for no re-
Enumeration whatever, but more in
the role of public spirited citizens,
or possibly just addicts of the
sport.
Requiring Value Received
These two judges may be quail
fled and thoroughly so, but with
out the feeling of responsibility
whichremuneration therefor would
bring, I don't believe it is possible
to get quite the job that could
be obtained by paying them and
requiring value received.
There is no such a thing as get
ting something for nothing. Some
thing that costs nothing is GUS
tomarily worth just about what
it costs, or even less.
I sincerely believe that the
judges at Washington'S ringsides
should be put on a remunerative
basis to give them the sense of
obligation which their jobs should
carry, but which, for obvious
reasons, don't.
Certainly stricter performances
can be demanded of one who en-
joys a paid relationship, than from
one who simply likes to judge for
the prominence it gives him in
sports circles.

Gill Leader
In Writer'S
Contest
BY SID KATZNELL

Although never included in the
National Duckpin Bowling Con-
gress' first 10 rating list, Pauline
Ford, newly elected president of
the washington Women's Duckpin
Association, is nevertheless a
dainty package of dynamite in
tournament competition.
She gave a neat exhibition of
her bowling proficiency in the
Evening Star Yuletide tournament
yesterday afternoon when she
rolled a 623 set for five games.
This coupled with a Is pin handi-
cap enabled Miss Ford to chalk
up the highest five-game set ever
rolled in the women's division of
the Star tournament.
Not satisfied with this power
full pin splitting, Pauline smacked
the pins for a 156 game and 341
set to help Highway Engineers
defeat the champion Rosslyn
team twice in the Ladies Dis
trict League last night.
BY taking the odd game from
Lucky Strike, National Beer
marched into third place. Cecil
Whitacre starred for the winners
with a 116 game and $40 set.
Marie Spates' 1870 game played
a prominet part in GeorgetoWn's
two victories over Swanee. Con-
vention Hall defeated Arcadia
three times, and Temple cleaned
R. E. Cleaners the same number
of times.
Danny Gill, wearing The Wash
ington Times Sports Departments
colors, shot 533 coupled with 95
pin handicap, to grab the lead in
the sports writer's bowling tourna-
ment at Lucky Strike yesterday.
His total was 628.
Gino Simi also of The Times,
holds second place with 623 which
includes a 70-pin handicap. Bill
Dismer, of the Evening Star which
paper is sponsoring the tourna-
ment, clings to third place with
SGT. The event comes to close
today when the second group of
writer's swing into action.

Citizens Protest Clos
ing Of Route 40

Citizens of Havre de Grace, Aber-
deem and Perryville held meeting
at the Colonial Hotel, Havre de
Grace, on Thursday, in protest to the
closing of Route 40 between Perry
vile and Elkton, pending the re-
building of the road.
Mr.. Carroll Stansbury, junior en-
gineer of the State Roads Commits
sion for Hartford county, stated that
the road from Perryville to Elkton
is being widened and resurfaced, and
must be done before winter sets in,
and this time was selected when
traffic was the least. 1t is almost
impossible to do the work with traffic
using the road, and the contracts
were given on this basis, the cost will
be less and it will be completed by
December Is.
Mr.. Know, representing the Key
stone Automobile Club, stated that
all members would be advised not to
use the road.
A committee was appointed to ap-
pear before Maryland State Roads
Commission, to present two resolu-
tions: First, that the road be open
ed, in order that traffic may use one
half in travelling; second, that all
signs be removed at Aberdeen, Balti-
more and Bel Air, directing all thru
traffic on Route No. /.
Friday morning communication
was received from Mr.. Stansbury
stating that all signs redirecting traf-
fic had been removed (there had new
er been one in Baltimore), that the
Waterman at Aberdeen and Bel Air
had been taken off and that detour
sign will be plainly marked, direct
ing traffic from Perryville to Rising
Sun, to Fair Hill and from there into
Elkton.
The opening of the road entirely
remains with the State Roads Com
mission.
