ANGLERS FLOCK
TO MIAMI F 0 R
CLUB FESTIVAL
Rod and Reel Group Has
Many Noted Members

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Jan. l3.
Anglers from everywhere in the
United States and from four for
eign countries will gather here
on February 9 to celebrate the
ninth anniversary of the founding
Of the Miami Beach Rod and Reel
Club. one of the worlds best
known angling organizations.
Established in 1929 with Benja-
min E. Farrier, president of the
Belmar Fishing Club of New Jer
Sey, as it's first executive, the
membership of the club is re-
Stricted to 400 ardent anglers.
They hail from II States, Eng
land. Cuba, Canada and Jamaica.
CLUB WELL KNOWN
Although comparatively young
in years, the club is known every
where that anglers gather to pur-
sue the big and small game fish
Of the ocean and the befinned
warriors of fresh water lakes and
streams from Topicilla in Chile to
the North Sea and the coast of
South Africa to Melbourne in Aus
tralia.
- One of its members, William K.
Vanderbilt, circled the globe on
what was probably the greatest
of all fishing trips, angling in
strange waters and collecting for
his marine museum and for public
scientific institutions specimens
of strange fish from the seven
seas.
In the nine years of its life, the
majority of the bestknown anglers
in the world have been enter
tained in its clubhouse on Hibiscus
Island in Miami Beach, said to be
the most beautiful of its kind in
the world. Here 43 varieties of
ocean game fish from a Six-ounce
tarpon to a 600-pound blue marlin
decorate the walls, mounted by
Americas master taxidermiSt, AL
Pfleuger.
UNUSUAL FEATURE
One of the most unusual fea-
lures is the roof, part of which
may be opened to allow the stars
to form the ceiling at club meet
ings. Another is the wall murals,
painted marine backgrounds on
which are superimposed mounted
multi-colored tropical fishes, so
beautifully done that camera
studies made Of them have led
experts to believe they were look
ing at examples of submarine
photography.
Visitors to Miami Beach are
welcome to inspect this club
house at any time during the
day. No formal invitation is
necessary. The clubhouse Is al
ways open and one need only
present himself to the secretary,
Don Mccarthy, who will have the
visitor shown about.
One of the most fascinating
sides of this club is the coSmopoli-
tanism of its membership. Among
these who belong are Damon
Runyon, columniSt; Fred Delhi,
retired purchasing agent of the
Ford Motor Company; M ak
Carey, one-time manager Of the
Brooklyn Dodgers; hnny
Gruello, who wrote "Raggedy

A|NNET CROWN
Nunez and Walden Bow in
Junior Doubles Final
of Star Tourney.
By BILL DISMER, Jr.

Despite a rather indifferent brand
of tennis. David johnson and Dewitt
Smith romped to the junior doubles
championship Of The Star tournament
yesterday as they defeated Miguel
Nunez and Tom Walden in straight
sets at the Edgemoor Club. The scores
were rs, 60, 6-. .t.
The match not only rang down the
curtain on the 1898 City of Washing
ton tournament, but completed a per-
feet record for young johnson, who
went through the weeks play without
losing set either in singles or doubles.
1t was also the third straight year
that johnson had shared the junior
doubles title. giving him perfect rec
ord in team play here during his
three years as junior. johnson won
with Allie Ritzenberg in 1896 and
with Harry Heffner last year.
With the eventual winners starting
of extremely confident, the first set
developed into dog f1ght. Nunez and
Walden, heartened by events of the
previous day which found them win
ming two matches to enter the final
round, overcame 81 lead to tie the
score at sail and later with johnson
and Smith only points away from
set at as on Nunez's service. rallied
again to deadlock the count at SIS.
Double Faults Costly.
Double faults had hurt the losers
cause in both the second and fourth
games when first Nunez and then
Walden failed to serve properly on the
final point of each.
With the score tied, however
with johnson. broke Waddens for first
blood. Those last two games were the
first of 10 straight which the eventual
champs won from the 18th game OF
the first set to the third of the last
Double faults again proved costly in
the middle skirmish as Nunez and
Walden again served them on the
final points Of the second and fourth
games.
Not until the champs had broken
Wadden's service in the second game
of the final set for 20 lead were the
runners-up able to win another game.
At that stage, however Nunez and
Walden not only broke a jinx which
was threatening to end the match in
short order. but took lead at 80 for
the only time during the hours play
Another double fault ended that NTH
game, but this time it was served by
Smith to place his team one game in
arrears.
Wadden's Service Weak.
Wadden's service was cracked for
the sixth successive time, however
which enabled the johnson Smith
tandem to even the score at 3-3 and
johnson won the seventh and eighth
games with smash and service ace
on the Anal points of each. The win

Several youngsters working in golf
shops around Washington may be af-
fected by ruling yesterday by the

sional If he were over the age limit of
exemption from that classification"
This rule may affect Gil Willett at
Kenwood, who played in the public
links championship at East Potomac
Park last year. and several other lads
working in golf shops around the
Capital.
If players who have been caddies
or caddie masters ceased to act as

him some years back, but still has
uncommon drawing power here.

the Greek was given the decision by
