Rumors, via the grapevine route,
have it that Theodore S. Grape,
who has done an outstanding job
in club administration at Congress
sional this year, will be drafted
for the presidency again. although
the prexy says he cannot give the
time to the job for another year.
Committee chairmen won't be ap-
pointed until some time after the
annual meeting. Dr. Orville U.
Singer heads the golf committee,
and DR.. r. A. Keilty is greens COM
mittee chairman.
One of the important matters to
come before the greens committee
is rearrangement of the club golf
facilities, involving construction of
a new 18-hole course. Witty Cox,
the club pro, who srew up the plans,
says the course can be built at a
cost of less than $4,000, to give
Congressional SO holes of golf.

Guns have been banging away
for a month now, but for a few
hardy souls the fishing season is
not over, and the rewards are rich.
Last week a party of Baltimore
anglers fishing near Point Lookout
in the Lower Potomac boated a
40l4-pound rock, which, when they
get that big, we dignity with the
title striped bass.
Other Good Fish Taken.
Bob Rae, Tommy Pfeifer and Joe
Cannon caught the monster while
out with Capt. Roland Mckay of
Valley Lee. Rae originally hooked
the flsh, but they all took hand in
landing it. Too bad that happened
or the rock of rocks would stand a
good chance of winning a prize in
one OF the national big fish contests.
When finally boated the fish near
ly was dead. so it was not tossed
back, as the law says should be done
to all stripeSs above IS pounds, but
was given to a Baltimore orphanage.
Also in the catch were %
other rock, Is of them between
9 and Ia pounds and the
others all above 4 pounds.

A deal of discussion has been
heard around town regarding the
latest suggestion, that by Tommy
Aitken, big-game fishing writer for
Outdoor Life Magazine.
After all, it would be we'll
to have universally recognized
standards of tackle strength,
II for no other reason than to
give records some meaning.
Here are Aitken's suggestions:
=, Bonensh. a, sluetish, veaks and others to
Atlantic saiifish, dolphin. bonito. y.l-
loWtail albacore and others to so pounds
9th1ead t3aea line 6-ounce tip 1s-inch butt,
sailnsh. tarpon. small school tuna white
marlin and others to 100 pounds-15-
thread line. 10-ounce tip. 2l-inch butt. 15-
Tarpon, striped and white marlin. tuna,
swordfsh and others to $50 pounds-24-
thread. ts1e l6-ounce tip, 21-inch butt. 15-
An tip lengths are . minimum Of so
inches.
Discussion Is Invited.
The above are not all of the speci-
fications, but they are the ones which
interest most of the Washington
fishermen. Aitken does not intend
them as hard and fast rules to be
adopted Immediately, but suggests
that they be used as talking point
around which future regulations are
built. Certainly many local anglers
would hesitate to use the 6-thread
line and AZ -ounce tip mentioned in
the first division for those big blues
and stripers down in the bay, if for
no other reason than that a line of
that strength quickly wears out.
If you have any suggested
changes, send them to Tommy
Aitken, Outdoor Life Maya
zine, 1853 4th avenue, New York
City, or to this column.

Recreation Digs for Heavy Entry Star Bowling Tournament
. CHE; = s #

The fifth and final round of the
fall semester tournament will be
played Friday afternoon at 1886
I street NV, says Chairman Robert
Feeney.
Salo Flohr Meditates.
In view Of the fact that he brought
up in the rear in the AVRO grand
masters parley in the Netherlands,
Salo Flohr, the official No. / chal-
lenger Of the International Chess
Federation for the world title, is
thinking long and deep and his
once ardent hackers now hesitate
to put up the cash essential to a
working contract according to
Champion Alekhin's demands.
To the fore come Paul Keres and
Reuben Fine as likely challengers.
United States Champion Samuel
Resbevsky, who fell behind Fine in
the AVRO tourney for the first time
In several years, is being touted as
the logical contender.
When the tumult subsidies you
will find STRIPPING in the 1899
arena with Alekhin and our guess
is that it will not be Flohr.

Chevy Chase and Manor
Only Clubs to List
Invitation Affairs
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Only Two 1nVlCaJlOn tournaments
will dot the mems links calendar
next year, but the major sectional
championship of this golf neigh
borhood will come to Washington
in 1889. Solons of the game, ten
tatively lining up 1889 golf activi-
ties in advance of the annual meet
ings of the organizations which con-
troll the tournaments. find that only
Chevy Chase and Manor are def
nitely on the list of clubs sponsor
ing invitation affairs next year.
But in addition the Middle Allan
tic Golf Association mems cham
pionship will come to Washington,
to be played at the Chevy Chase
Club, for the first time in more than
IS years. The sectional title tour
ney last was staged at Chevy Chase
in 1923, the year Albert r. Mac
Kenzie beat his son, Roland, on
| the 10th hole in the only father
and son. final in the history of golf
| in this sector.
List of Tournaments.
Here is the way the tournaments
line up next year with tentative
dates:
Chevy Chase invitation-May 8,
10, IL and IL.
Manor Country Club invitation
May %, "a, 25 and 26.
Middle Atlantic mems Champion
ship-Chevy Chase Club, June IA,
Is, 16 and II.
Maryland women's championship
probably at Manor or Indian Spring
the first week in June.
District mems amateur champion
ship. scheduled for Columbia, the
third week in September.
Washington Golf and Country
Club, which held an invitation
tournament this year, will not stage
such an affair in 1899. Maryland
State golf administrators, to be
headed next year by Harry P. Gal
ligher of the Baltimore Country
Club, originally planned to hold
their mems championship in Wash
| ington in 1889. But because the mid
| Atlantic comes to Washington next
year, giving to the Capital maj
sectional affair, the Maryland asso-
citation probably will hold the tour
nament at Baltimore club.
Baltimore Needs Event.
"We haven't made a decision yet"
said Emmett Gary, veteran secretary
of the Maryland State Association,
but we feel that with the mid
Atlantic going to Washington in
1899 We would like to have a ma
jor tournament in Baltimore. If we
sent the Maryland State affair to
Washington that would give WASH
ington two sectional championships,
and Baltimore would have none"
But the Maryland women's tour
ney will come to Washington for
the first time in 1899. Because of
the proximity of either Indian
Spring or Manor to Baltimore this
affair will be staged at one or the
other of these clubs.
All of which is fair enough, for
most of the Baltimore competitors
commute. and Indian Spring or
Manor are the clubs closest to Bal
timore. Washington women have
dominated the Maryland State
championship for a number of years.
Helen Dettweiler holds the title at
present.

Ladder play will feature tonight at
8 o'clock at 1886 I street NV, when
the Washington Social Chess Divan
Club assemblies under the direction
of Chief Executive Anton Y. Hesse.
The conclusion Of class A and B
Journeys advances the plan of indi-
vidual challenges by all types of
players, the higher-ups being open
to immediate Interrogation by the
respective ranking players. To
move up the chess ladder the chal-
uenger must win two out of three
games: to jump from one class to a
more advanced group it is necessary
to garner three out of five, and, of
course, after a player is defeated
he may not seek to regain his for
mer place until several weeks have
elapsed.
Much interest has been evidenced
in ladder promotion, as it offers the
opportunity for each player to make
the personal acquaintance of every
other player.
G. B. Jones, in class B, has pol
lShed of Konrad Willnich and L. L.
Minkoff by challenge matches and
