Circuit to Ia Teams;
Officers Changed

With the addition of teams repre-
senting the New King Pin, Lafayette
Center and Penn Recreation and the
possibility that the bumper crop of
other new bowling establishments
will supply more clubs, prospects
were bright today for the Men S
District League to grow to IA teams
next season.
In It's annual meeting last night
at the Lucky Strike the league elect
ed a new set of officers. Ed
Schlegel, proprietor of the George
town Recreation. was chosen presi-
dent; Astor Clarke, manager of the
new Lafayette plant, vice president,
and Ellsworth Geib, star Lucky
Strike pinspiller, secretary-scorer.
The naming of Schlegel to sue
ceed Joe Pricci, gave the league its
first bowling alley head since the
regime of John S. Blick more than
decade ago.
The league voted to roll its
matches on Wednesdays at 7:30 pm.
Other bowling alleys to be repre-
sented in the 35-year-old league in
clude Brookland Recreation, Lucky

For Star Trophies

Today at Congressional and Cap
ital the biggest field of the year
in women's golf was playing In
the 23d tournament for The Eve
ming Star trophies. Ninety-three
women were playing in Glass B

won The Star trophy in 1888 and
1899, was the only star feminine
golfer missing from the list.

means game Saturday and two
Sunday, is a breeze. It's the two
stops on one trip that are tough, but
Wyche isn't one to let short over
night drive interfere with his base
ball and the players have become so
accustomed to it they don't seem to
mind
The clubs pitching staff is one Of
the best in town. Printz has won
six games and lost two; "Giggles"
Adair's record is two and none;
Frank beavers has won three and
dropped two; Tommy Hahn has
three wins and no losses and Lefty"
Mcintyre won one and lost two be-
fore drawing his unconditional re-
lease. Wyche sorrowfully admits he
thinks Lefty's seen much better days.
Some of his leading players are
Jimmy Schwab. batting .476, who
Connie" calls the best catcher in
the District-including Rick Ferrell.
Woody Godfrey, on third, Is batting
1927; Bill Harris, .536, and Booty
McQuinn, brother of st. Louis
Browns George McQulnn, .296. Fling
ers beavers and Adair are clouting
.318 and 1863, respectively. When not
pitching beavers plays shortstop
and Adair patrols the outfield.
Coakleys to Strengthen Team.
AS good as the team is, and Wyche
says its the best on the city's lots,
he expects it to be even stronger
when the Coakley twins arrive from
Clemson College for the summer
months. They're all-around good
men.
An idea of the task the club faces
can be gathered from a glance at
the schedule beginning with June.
The Canoes successfully will visit
Suffolk, Va; Warsaw, Va: Fred
erick, Md; Blackstone, Va; En-
poria, Va: Newport News, Waverly
and Lynchburg.
"Of course" Wyche confides,
we're booked only up to the end of
September. If you hear of any
teams wanting games let me know"

&Ao VIC usually ony Ill SliSll CdSeS, II
a wonder no one has thought of 1t
before. 1t simply is the addition of
small metal cup to the head of
the fly below the eye of the hook, a
metal cup along the same order as
generally used on artificial min
nows such as the River Runt.
The cup may be added to
any fly and the same thing
happens to this fly in the
water as happens to any bait
SO constructed.
1t goes deeper when pulled through
the water and it darts and dives in
a, most hfelike manner. In other
words, your fly now really resembles
q small minnow and has the min
now's erratic action through the
water. The flies with this cup at
tached are called dipper-snoots and
they are fish getters from way back
According to De Forest Dodge,
whose article describing the new
flies is published in the May issue of
Outdoors, these dipper-snoots more
than double the fish-getting ability
of the ordinary fly.
First Ocean City Catches.
There have been artificial fy-rod
lures with cup heads before this,
but they have been on the order of
smaller plug bats such as small
edition of the already mentioned
River Runt. Small as such lures
are, they still are too bulky and
heavy for light fly rod. Anything
less than 6-ounce rod can't handle
them, especially if the slightest
breeze is blowing. The dipper-
snoot, though, may be handled like
any dy ON . light rod.

the American charge d'affaires is

government that under the circum-

ment of the United States expects
that the vessel will not suffer mo-
