Be a Good Caster

There is a right and wrong
way to use the fly rod and bait
casting rod and, as usual, the
wrong way is the hard way. On
the tournament platform, with
actual scoring, fisherman has
an excellent opportunity to find
out what he can do and to Sc
cure advice from tournament
casters, who are always expert
enced fishermen, what it is that
he should be doing to improve
his skill. And skill in the han
ding of fishing tackle, espe-
cially in fresh water, adds UP to
catching fish.
Anyone can be a good bait
and fly caster. A few simple in
structions from a tournament
caster and a reasonable amount
of practice from the tourna-
ment platform will enable the
fisherman to put his lure where
he wants it, avoid back laSheS
when bait casting. and catch
more fish.
The tournament game is sim
pie. In both the fly rod and
bait casting rod games, five tar
gets 80 inches in diameter are
placed at unknown distances,
from 80 to 80 feet removed from
the caster, and he casts in Sc
quence at a target as directed
by the captain until 10 casts
have been made. The contest
ant starts with a score of 100.
One is deducted from his score
for each foot or fraction thereof
that he misses the target. After
casting 10 times, the total num-
ber of feet that he has missed
the targets is deducted from 100
to determine the score. A score
of 95 is excellent. Novices very
often wind up with a score Of
SO or less.
The National Capital Casting
Club conducts the tournament
game in Washington. Each Sat
urday afternoon and Sunday
morning, the targets are in
place in the east end of the Lin
coin Memorial reflecting pool,
and everybody is invited to come
down and try his luck.

Fresh-water fishing is some
thing everybody should do more
of. You can't deny the thrill of
handling the game brook trout
or the bass of creek or fast
water. Washington anglers have
their share of good fresh-water
trout and bass fishing, and the
way to fish them is with fly or
bait rod and artificial lure.
In order to get the most out
of fresh,water fly and bait cast
ing, it is essential that the
equipment suit the individual
and that it be used in the
proper manner. Balanced or
matched outfits may be selected.
but which outfit will fit which
caster is matter of knowledge.
The tournament caster knows,
and can help you determine the
right outfit for you.
Despite pioneering thought
and inventive genius of manu-
facturerS, the equipment still
won't be right until it is tested
and perfected on a proving
ground" and when you speak of
a proving ground" you mean
the tournament platform. Con-
slider the successful designers of
lures, line, reels and rods, such
as George Cook, Bill Stanley, Al
Foss, Tony Accetta, Marvin
Hedge, and a long line of 9TH
ers, and you will find that the
effectiveness and worth of their
equipment is due to the fact
that the designers we're tour
nament casters and the equip
ment was proven upon the tour
nament platform.

HOLMES CARDS.
161 FOR JUNIOR.
.PUBL|NX CROWN |

With Andy oliver and Bob Nor
ris, both public links qualifiers for
the national championship ana
both within the age limit of under
81. gallantly stepping aside for
smaller fry, Gail Holmes, former
captain of Central High Schools
golfing squad, yesterday won the
junior public links championship
at East Potomac with a 36-hole
card Of 161.
Oliveri's score for the first SO
holes in last months public links
senior event was 155, while Bob
Morris chalked up 157. Either
player could have swamped any
one of yesterdays "a junior con-
testants.
True to tradition that the win
ner in 36hole medal play gen.
orally sneaks in the victor while
interest is centered on one or two
other contenders, Gail was not
classed as a threat after a morn
ing round of 43-40-83.
The Washington times., 1938-08-09

Attention was primarily focused
on lanky Bill Leapley, whose morn
ing round totaled 80; on George
Graham, son of Rock Creeks
manager, with an 81; on Donald
Sullivan with 81; and on Bob
Brown, also with an 81, who it
later developed was ineligible to
play anyway since he is a Capital
Country Club member.
Gail methodically set about
trimming down his score in the
afternoon. While George Graham
who local pros say has the easiest,
most promising swing of any Dis
trict youngstcr, was blowing up
with 45-41-86; while Donald
folded under the tension in the
back nine with 40-43-83: Gail
quietly and consistently carded
his 39-29-78, which brought him
in the winner with 161, two under
Bill Leapley, his nearest oppo-
net.

YoU will become interested In the

of the reigning fern families of

in Eastern America by more species
than any other.
Once you become familiar with the
outstanding family characteristics you
will quickly recognize the resemblance
that runs through all Of them, and
you will enjoy Identifying them Is
you search out their hiding places. In
size and habitat the species are di-
vided distinctly into two groups. The
small ones are rock-lovers and the
large ones seek rich soil

and shelves Of the dryish, shady cliffs.
It sends its tiny roots into the small
crevices, and sends out Its charming
green rosettes In q most individual
fashion.
Although the fronds, which are rare
ly over 81 inches long, appear to be
frail, you will find them standing the
wintry weather very happily. A healthy
plant will advertise its strength by the
number Of fronds to each plant. Ten
to 20 are usually found.

The justice who heard the cases
turned out, appropriately, to possess
the milk Of human kindness. He
wanted to uphold the law, but he also
wanted to practice mercy and common
sense. He told the defendants he Is
in no way sympathetic to law viola
tors" But he added that "he be-
lieved the regulations which prevent
milk dealers from giving customers a
little higher grade Of milk for their
money are Ridiculous" In that hu-
name spirit, Justice Murat assessed
fines Of IS and $3.50 costs on each of
the defendants-and then suspended
the fines"

Now what have we here? Here are

I don't know II there Is any relation
between these widespread milk regu-
