Takes to Golf

As a child, Mrs. Morrow lived
in the White Mountains of New
Hampshire. She still retains a
slight New England overtone in
her speech. In the winter she
always went with her parents to
Pinehurst, and it was there she
learned to play golf when she
was IA.
In build, Mrs. Morrow would
be called a big, little woman,
for her frame is large for her
size. Her legs are long; her
shoulders wide. It is easy to
understand why she took first
to horseback riding. A light
weight ladies' hunter would en-
Joy having her on his back over
timber.
But Mrs. Morrow has def
nitely given up riding for golf
because "You have to go so far
out into the country and be-
sides golf is expensive enough
around here"
Another sport which draws
Mrs. Morrow's keen interest is
figure-skating on ice. Baltimore
has two rinks; washington none,
although it has been rumored
that the District will soon get
one. Mrs. Morrow doesn't see
why, with all the cosmopolitan
visitors Washington has, a Skat-
ing rink hasn't been started here
long ago.
Iceland is the name of the
rink where Mrs. Morrow cuts
her figure 8's in winter, and she
says many WaShingtonianS pat
ronize it, too. Every year they
hold an ice carnival and every
year Mrs. Morrow is in charge
of the scenery. Last years pro-
ceeds went to Curnan's Crippled
Children's Hospital in Baltimore.
Logical Site
Mrs. Morrow feels that Wash
ington is the logical place to hold
next years Maryland State golf
tournament for women and IA
Vors the Manor Club to play
host. She says it all depends
on whether the Baltimore
women prefer to commute daily
or to stay for the week. If most
Of them want to stay over the
Congressional Club, which has
accommodations for guests.
would be the logical choice, but
If they commute, the Manor is
nearest.
Actually the Washington
course most similar to the Elk
ridge links, where Mrs. Morrow
and many of the other partici-
pators in this weeks play are
members, is the Indian Spring
course. Both are fairly flat, but
adequately trapped. The main
difference lies in the fact that
the Elkridge fairwayS are eX'
tremely narrow.
On the Elkridge course power
drivers who sacrifice accuracy
for distance are severely penal
ized. Miss Dettweiler, the de
Tending champion, ran afoul Of
the omnipresent rough yester
day, and when she meets Mrs
Morrow, as she undoubtedly viii
in the semi-finalS, it is Mrs
Morrow's accuracy plus the mar
row fairways plus the jinx o1
being the medalist that may
throw her.

Commercial Fisherman Har-
rison, who operates a string Of
nets from Herring Bay to Plum
Point, claims that the METERS
have also come in for their share
Of lean hauls. Going over his
chain Of nets on Saturday morn
ing he picked up only two
croakers. A better showing was
made with the trout and a fair
haul came by the way Of rock
fish.
Strange as it may seem, fish
ing off the pier at Chesapeake
Beach, in the shallow water,
Saturday and Sunday, produced
the best catches of hardheadS
made this season, which in the
main, was nothing to create ex-
0itement. Small schools of rock
were breaking about 100 yards
off the pier Sunday and numer-
Gus boats trolled through the
fish but not q single striper was
brought to hook. Again we say,
place the blame on the elements.
Sky-minded fishermen are now
coming into their own. Fellows
who want to get there and back
in a hurry; safely, sanely and
travel de luxe, are taking to the
air over the Pennsylvania Cen
tral Airlines. This corporation
has installed a Commute fisher
mems service between Washing
ton and Norfolk. In other words,
you leave here at 10:55 in the
morning, arriving at the Norfolk
Airport five minutes before high
noon.

able at the airport, which is six

Sunday viewed many angling
parties trying to break the black
streak Of only so-and-so fishing
and while they did their best, it
was none too good. Larry Ho-
man, Percy Sutton, Henry Null
len, Edwin Fisher and Make
Marinelli, out FROM Solomons,
fished throughout the day to
take but "a hardheads and 3
trout. And this was the biggest
catch registered for the day at
the popular resort. This party
of anglers know what the game
is all about and invariably regis
ter heavy catches, so blame it on
the weather.

No other House Craftsmanship means
so much to presidential aspirations

That fact inclines some observers
to predict that Mr.. O'Connor may be
an exception; that no other Demo-

draw Mr.. Roosevelt's personal atten-
ton.
Assured New Deal leadership in the

Kentucky primaries, in which Senator
Barley, with his aid, was renominated
easily. 1t Is much the same stake in
the House for which Mr.. Roosevelt
has hazarded his prestige.
Taken together, these two phases Of
the unprecedented effort President
Roosevelt now has made to influence
Democratic primary contests seem to
carry direct notice of his intention
to follow full-speed, New Deal course
