The rank and file of Washington's
fishing fans are not those who wade
mountain streams in nearby States
fishing for trout with tapered lines
on delicate and expensive rods and
with bits of feathers and colored hair
craftily tied about minute hook, nor
are they those who later on will seek
hidden ponds and rivers in hopes
that fighting black bass will take a
fancy to expertly cast lures
But the butcher, the baker, the
candlestick maker and your wife's
brother. who count fishing as their
major outdoor recreation, are salt
water anglers. Chesapeake Bay is the
scene OF their activities, and their
prey is hardhead, trout. rock and blue
fish, in the order named.
Washington is located ideally for
these anglers. Galesville. Shadyside,
North Beach and Seaside are little
more than 80 miles away A few
miles farther are Plum Point and
Breezy Point Beach, front door to the
Gooses, where hardhead and bluefish
history has been made. Piney Point
and Tall Timbers on the Potomac
and Solomons on the Patuxent are
about IS miles from here.
Eighty miles will take you to
Point Lookout. jumping off
place for the Southwest Mid
dies.
With good roads all the way these
ports can be fished in one day awav
from home, and most of them can
be given the once over light after
work in the evening.
Charges Are Reasonable.
1t is not expensive nor is the .ackle
equipment necessarily complicated.
Fishing cruisers at most ports cost S.
Tor tour persons for four hours. 81
on week ends. Additional persons
cost rs cents each per hour, and if
you stay more than four hours the
Zee is Is cents per person per hour.
Trolling averages So per hour. A
whole days fishing can be had for
from $40 to SIS.
All boats have awnings, toilets
and drinking water as stand
ard equipment, and most of
them have ice.
Bait is extra. You may bring It
yourself or buy it from the skipper
1t is best to bring your own, as aften
there is shortage on the bay and
prices are higher, especially where
shrimp and bloodworms are concerned,
Boats Have HandIines.

niblick. The niblick in those days
had a thin, small and very round
face; indeed. the face was not much
bigger than the ball.
They also used to use a battle, a
very short wooden club with a very
small head which had the approx
innate distance Of No. 3 iron. Miss
Stirling also used very straight
faced putter Considering this equip
ment against the clubs of today, it Is
surprising that no one has, as yet,
surpassed Miss Strings brilliance
and perfection
Little need be said in behalf OF
Mrs. Wares ability as a golfer Not
only has she won this country's
championship half dozen times, but
twice she has been a fnalist in the
British championship. More accurate
with the woods than any woman in
the game today, Mrs. Ware even
chooses woods where others ordi-
narily select irons, being famed for
her wood shots to the green.
Currently playing in Florida prepar-
atory for the Curtis Cup team
matches and the 1888 nationals, Mrs.
Ware is shooting consistently in the
70s and her game seems better
than ever. Glenna always has been
the best match player in this country
and with her present brand Of golf it

is not going out on the limb too far
to predict that she again may win the
United States title.
Strangely enough, the greatest
game Glenna ever played was not in
this country. 1t occurred on the IA
nous st. Andrews course in Scotland
in the final Of the British tournament
against Joyce Wethered. With Miss
Wethered rated the greatest woman
golfer of all time and Mrs. Ware abe
to play hole for hole with anybody,
the match turned into a sensational
affair. How the tide shifted is seen
by the figures, which showed Glenna
had played the first nine with eight
As and a 2, giving her Sup advan-
tage at the turn. She was only 2 up
at the halfway mark, however, and
at the 9th was 4 down.
Her Greatest Game.
Having talked with a professional
who saw that match, I learned that
it was truly great fight-a losing
fight for Glenna, but brilliant vic
tory for the Britisher. That day Mrs.
Ware played brilliant golf against the
worlds best woman golfer md the
Americans IS probably stands as the
lowest round ever made by an Amer
ican on the st. Andrews course.
