THE Ocean City Chamber of Com

presented Tuesday TO Charles E.

of the Maryland Sportsmen's Lunch
con Club in Baltimore. His fish

May 30 at Fox Hills Level. stretch
of surf casting beach near Ocean City.
]. Paul Blunden Of Keyser,
W. Va. received an award for
the largest white marlin His
fish weighed 1870 pounds.
That mark not only Is record for
the season. but is sll-time record at
Ocean City.
Two special awards were made to
Billy Savage. IL, and Herbert Redden.
IA. for being the youngest anglers to
catch a marlin from their own boat
and without assistance The story OF
how they did it is one Of the best to
what went on during the 1887 fishing
season.
Billy is the son Of the well-known
Capt. Crawford Savage, perhaps the
best of the guides at Ocean City
These two youngsters pestered the
good skipper to take them out marlin
fishing all Summer, and finally Billy'i
dad gave in. He towed them out in .
small boat to spot 20 miles from
shore. and left them while he con-
tinued with charter party. The next
time he saw them Billy's boat v<as
going around in circles, with a big
white marlin kicking up all around
them. The fish finally was landed
and that the boat was not swamped il
miracle and does credit to the
angling and boating Of the two boys
As far as this department knows, not
only were they the youngest fishermen
credited with marlin this Summer
but that also was the smallest boat
from which one was caught.

ARMOUR MASTER
WITH WOOD CLUB
Pro Demonstrates Skill by
Long Wager Winning Shot
at Congressional.
BY W. r. MrCALLUM.

BY W. r. McCALLUM.
Y We GENERALLY Is rated the
most talented master OF the
iron clubs in the world
Il Il shsrpshooter with the me-
dium-length clubs and a man who hits
more iron shots closer to the pin than
any other golfer.
But Tommy Armour, notwithstand-
ing his acknowledged skill with the
irons, is finer player of the long
wooden clubs than Of the irons, In the
opinion Of Tony Penna, who has
worked with Tommy for dozen years.
Tony, now travelling for the firm
which makes clubs under the Armour
name, says that Tommy can wheel
full drive onto dime.
II think he lis the greatest wooden
club player in the world, both for
length and for accuracy" says Tony.
And don't forget he can hit that ball
long way when he piles into it.
Tommy Is like Bob Jones. They both
have is or 90 yards in reserve. which
they can turn on at any time. Watch
EN- play the long holes If you don't
believe it,"
Congressional Stunt Wonderful.
IF TOMMY had been able to putt
like some of these topnotch strok-
ers. he'd have won half dozen open
Championships" Tony claims.
And Tony is right. Back in the DAYS
nh hefl inh
Congressional he was one of the great
wooden club players of the world. He
still is. and Tom is no kid any more.
We'll never forget the day he bet
Jack Gilmore five-spot that he could
get par 4 on the seventeenth and
boot" shot. That seventeenth al
Congressional is no pushover. IT'S
around $50 yards in length and the
green is tightly trapped. Obviously,
Jack took the wager. 1t looked q
cinch.
Tommy wound up on raking
draw" which started of the right
corner of the fairwey. hit halfway
up the hill. took long hop on the
hard ground and ended on the green.
OF course. he had the wind behind
him. but to hit patch of green $40
yards away he had to have more than
wind
Still 10 yards from the pin he
booted" the ball with his shoe,
knocked it up feet from the cup and
putted it in for birdie. Jack paid
off-still goggle-eyed
Known As Iron Master.
WE'VE seen him do so many stunts
of that nature that Tommy
stands out as one of the great wooden
club hitters Of the world.
Tommy himself deprecstes his skill
with the irons, and claims it's all
build-up. He says he got his iron
master rating this way:
One day he was playing with two
other first-ranking pros. They came
/ to a 235-yard hole. The other bows
/ drove first. both using irons and both
missing the green. A sports writer
/ saw them miss it, failed to zee Tom
I my's shot, looked up a few moments
later and saw his ball on the green.
Assuming that Tommy also had
used an iron. he rushed back to the
press tent and told the world, in glow
ing phrases, about the great iron shot
he'd just seen Tommy Armour hit.
The fact is that Tommy pulled
spoon out Of his bag and knocked the
ball on the green. But the world
didn't know that. Tommy claims
that's where he got his reputation as
the iron master. He's plenty good
| with the steel, but he's better with the
wood
