TRAMPING the Anacostia golf
course, your old Southeast
Washington adventurer IS
L moved by memories Of a day
when the footing OF that stretch Of
terrain along the Anacostia River
wasn't so firm.
Summertime on the Anacostia!
The years roll back One sees
again the shimmering stream in all
its native fascination, unwalled, un-
touched by the hands Of the city
beautifiers, its vast mud flats and
little bayous, overhung with weep
ing willows, irresistibly inviting the
barefoot boy. Adventure aplenty
was there among the tall cat-o'-
nine tails that grew with utter pro-
fusion on the fats where now the
public linksmen tread with con-
trasting security.

BY GEORGE z. HUBER.

THREE short months ago about
a dozen anglers gathered at
the Willard Hotel to organize
Il the Hook, Line and Sinker
Club. 1t was a happy idea which
clicked Immediately with Washington
fishermen. At the first open meeting
nearly 100 attended to take part in
the fun and frolic, and since then
the club has been growing by leaps
and bounds.
So large has it become that it is
known all over the country, and this
In three short months. mind you.
Applications have been received in
the East from Florida to Saskatche-
wan, Canada, and from as far West
as California, Washington and Texas.
Demands for membership
have been 20 heavy that it was
decided at the last meeting to
incorporate, and soon the club
will be known as the Hook, Line
and Sinker Club Of America,
Inc.
AS soon as the articles OF lncorpora-
ton are filed, the business Of organ
izing chapters and granting charters
will be undertaken by the Board Of
Trustees. Thus it may be that some
day there may be regional and ra-
tional conventions, contests and shows,
all growing out Of an organization
which originally was intended to
bring together score or so of local
anglers once a month to swap fishing
yarns
One of the unusual things about the
club Is that there are no dues,
treasury or reserve fund to compli-
cate matters. The small amount
needed to hold meeting and furnish
buffet Is taken care of by an assess
ment at the meeting, and that's all
there Is to it.

visions of an all-Montreal flna1 for the
