Rippy Best Since Voigt.

MOT since the days of George Voigt,
when the dead-panned guy from
Brightwood was knocking 'em all over
the public courses, later became a
definite threat to win the national
championship and subsequently be-
came a member of two Walker Cup
team in golf, has any public links
product so gripped the fancy of the
links bugs as has Rippy, first with his
psr-shattering performance in win
ming the local title, and then by his
monotonously machine-like conquest
Of the reigning stars Of the pay-as-
you-play courses in the national cham
pionShip.
And you have to go back to the
elamorous days OF Connie Doyle Of
the fiat, spinning drive, and the back
line busting service to find a parallel
10 the deeds of Barney Welsh, the
budding young law student from Rock
vile, who now is carrying the torch
for Washington tennis into the hinter-
lands, and readying himself for spot
In the national tennis picture.
Rippy probably is a better golfer
today than was Voigt at the time the
srightwood "Dutchman" was whip
ping all comers on the public courses.
But Welsh isn't quite the tennis player
that Connie Doyle was when Connie,

n YoRFoLK SPOT at present are
M showing up at nearby bay re-
sorts. They are small fish,
usually Weighing about a
pound, and are not likely to prove very
exciting to the average angler, but they
do make tasty dish. Good catches
have been made this week at Plum
Point and below Cedar at Solomons.
One of the nice things about Plum
Point fishing Is that big power boat
isn't necessary unless you are going
across to the Gooses. A rowboat will
take you out q mile and q quarter to
the black buoy where you can get as
many fish as that fellow in the cabin
cruiser. Malcolm Major, Nelson Bean
and Walter England, fishing at the
buoy Wednesday morning, caught
about 40 spot and q big mess Of trout
and hardhead.
All-around good fishing, with the
exception Of blues, Is on tap at Solo
mons Island this week end. Go to
Cedar Point for rock, below the point
for spot, the ship channel, Hooper
Island or Cove Point for hardhead and
trout. The trout situation especially
is very bright, according to Capt
George Bowen.
Milton Gordon will attest to the
fact that rock are there. He and Edgar
Baum, fishing from Capt. Bowen's Kay,
caught 4S In one afternoon, and also
took a few hardhead and trout while
trolling.

northward, have reached the West

Connie Was a Real Star.
THE modern generation of tennisers
haven't seen Connie, or II they
have they haven't seen him at his best
You'll have to take our word for 1t
that Connie was star of stars in a

Connie hasn't played tennis for 10
years. Golf now is his game, and he
doesn't get much time for that.
Welsh's latest feat was his defeat
Of Gene Mako, Davis Cup doubles
player, ranked high nationally. The
Rockville Rambler, on his 1885 cam
paign, must rank fairly high among
the better tennisers of the Nation
but it takes a national championship
played on grass to decide any final
ranking.
Rippy, on the other hand, couldn't
be placed worse than second or third
among the public links golfers Of the
land. He has demonstrated his ability
both at match and medal play in SO
rugged a fashion that a lot Of folks
are wondering II the elongated one
from Shelby, N. c.. isn't worthy ma.

terial. Probably he is, but he will find
the big championship much tougher
test than the public links title tourney

which was running while they were
out early Wednesday morning. Forty
five fish-trout, hardhead, perch, spot
and rock-were in their ice chest when
they returned.
HEAVY cumming operations in the
Southwest Middles seem to be
the reason why so few blues have gone

the committee is asking a general ad-

most other fish, don't bite very much
when not hungry. OF course, they have
been known TO destroy whole schools
Of smaller fish without eating therl,
but the fact remains that they aren't
up to par this year.
Big blues are there though, and as
a witness to that fact Mrs. C. z. Merry

JUST by, way Of adding to the
passing sport parade a para
graph or two on the home town
boys, it seems to us that Pappy
Washington, who has turned out a
few sport celebrities in his time, is by
way of producing right now a couple
of public parkers who have hit the
headlines with consistent regularity
this Summer.
The two are Claude Rippy, the
1snky. taciturn public links champion,
who managed to fail his way to the
final round in the national champion
ship on Long Island last week, and
Barney Welsh, the Rockville Rambler,
skinny as fence rail, worn down by
knocking tennis balls across a cord
net but able during the campaigning
of the last few weeks to gather in
four titles, and to whip a Davis Cup
team member.

Wouldn't Barney, with two tourney

deserving, even If he were out of the
current event, one purpose of which
IS to determine rankings?
Suppose another team wins, say a
combination like Hugh Lynch and Ed
Mather. Having asserted their SUI
nremacy in the stritcly sectional tour
rament, would they be eligible to be
named the ranking team, even though
1t should be the only time they played
together?
Tom Mangan, president of the Mid
die Atlantic Association, admitted
that, whoever wins, the records will
have to be weighed most carefully
when rankings are considered.
In all probability, he said, the
winner will be ranked the sec
tion's No. 1 team-unless an
nnseeded makeshift team sur
prises and cops the title.
In addition, the winning team will,
OF course, be sent to the national
