Nothing Doing at Benedict.

THERE'S nothing to those reports
that hardhead are biting in the
Patuxent. How that rumor got around
town We don't know, but it was
heard on every hand 1t probably
was case of the wish being father
to the thought, or something along
that line.
The way things look now, Il
should be inside of two weeks
that they do start In, especially
now that Oregon has opened up.
Joe Pacyna being one Of those
ardent anglers who wants to be first
where fish are biting, went down tc
Benedict Tuesday to sort OF wet q
line and perhaps pick up q croaker

He fshed the channel and he fished
the shore and he touched In all OF
the usual spots in between time, but
nary hardhead. He did get a perch
or two and an eel, but why go to
Benedict for that when the Potomac
flows right by our doorstep? Down
at Solomons they are being taken
from trap nets, but even the nets
at and around Benedict are empty
So it looks like q week or two OF
waiting, but from then on 1t will be

Likes New York idea,

ed by the New York Golf Association,
which raises the styn1ie limit to a
foot instead Of inches. That. in
Cosgrove's opinion. would force each

the 6-inch score-card measurement
would be passe. II asked Jackson, In
a joking way, if the ruler would be
the fifteenth club" says Jim.
80 the objection to lifting the ball
On the putting green is based on the
old Royal and Ancient Club idea that
the ball shall not be touched while In
play" says Cosgrove. But if you'll
read the rules Of golf you'll find that
there are several exceptions to the old
idea. For example. If two balls lie
within club-length of each other
through the fairway the ball nearest
the hole may be lifted. And a ball
may be identified.
There's plenty OF precedent for lift
ing the ball. And while we're talk
ing I've got some recent reactions from
my players at Manor about the stymie.
The latest poll shows they're even
stronger against 1t than they were

When = storm comes up, which
1t does often without warning,
the outside of that bar is = tough
place to be.
To get back across those breakers
requires an artistic touch at the tiller
and when a storm is whipping things
up its twice as difficult. Remember
the drowning last year, we don't want
that repeated.
Good boats are needed more than
anything else, but it's rather difficult
for those captains to get f1rst-cla,ss
boats when the season is only about
two months of the year. Something
which would help almost as much. is
jetty. This has been talked about
and planned for years, and its about
time something was done. Anglers
from Washington, Baltimore and
New York go there and spend plenty
OF the long green and the local poll
ticos should afford them some pro-

been having some conversation about
the stymie, and the Executive Com
uittee Of the District association has

their stand that there shouldn't be
any styrnie any more. and to make it
more concrete Jim has stepped out
and submitted three propositions to
Brother Jackson in New York, all
aimed at that OIL debbil stymie.
These three proposals run like this:
No. l would eliminate the thing en-
tirely In match play golf by providing
that a ball lying nearest the hole
may be lifted at the option of either
player If it is in the same putting line
Of the other ball.
No. 2 would cut the burned thing
out unless the styrnied player as a
result Of his own putting stroke laid
himself a styn1ie. This one would
apply only to actual play on the green.
No. 8 would eradicate the stynaie
BY permitting the nearer ball to be
lifted IN case player making an
approach shot to the green laid his
opponent q stymie: except where the
stymie is self-laid by putting stroke
or the players own approach.
