NEW CLUB HOUSE
 ADVOCATED HERE
Fish and Game President Stresses Fact at Smoker
 in Town Hall

Watertown, March 15-The larg- est crowd ever to assemble In the Town Hall, Weonesday night, wit messed the finest smoker ever pre- sented in Watertown. The old att tendance mark set in 1888 was com- pltely demolished as 500 people crammed into the Town Hall. Every available nook and corner in the hall was filled at 8 o'clock.
 The town police force did very efficient job of handling traffic around this congested area. Parking was a very hard problem because of the tremendous amount of snow this winter.
 The program opened with Rocco Mara, master of ceremonies, intro ducing Charles Van Bruen, presi- dent of the local Fish & Game as- sociation, who stressed the impor- tance of new clubhouse. Warren Parker, first selectnan and Wilmot Q. Hungerford, second selectman, followed with talks on wild Life" and "Sportsmanship." After the third bout, Thomas Rose, chief game warden of Connecticut was intro duced. He mentioned the impor- tance of Wild Life" seals to be sold starting next week. Following the fourth bout, came a young cowboy serenader named Marshal Steel, who proved big favorite with the au- dience. Frank Clemente, tenor, en- tertained with several solos.
 Joseph R. Neill, principal speaker of the night gave a very interesting talk on the necessity of a good clean club house. He also encourages young men to join the Fish & Game association. By joining, stated MT. Neil, leach new member will be con- tributin gtowards a new club house and a very upright organization.
 Chick Kelly, Waterbury sports re- porter, appeared on the program and stated that this was the largest turnout he ever saw at the Waetr- town hall. He also recalled the days when he played basketball in the town hall some 20 years ago.
 There were eight exhibitions all well matched and all crowd pleasers Referees for the matches were George Mulligan, Dick Turcotte Harry Shackley and Babe Padella Timekeeper was Mike Dance. Sec onds for the event were Jack Shark ey and Bobby Kelly.
 Rocco Mara, Oakville sports man did a very masterful job as master of ceremonies. This is where MT Mara shines and hes definitely showed it Wednesday night. The Mastersingers arriver late, but made up for their tardiness in songs. MT Lezotte's boys are raetd very highly and made an impression in Water. town that will be long remembered.

AnacoStia Golf Clubs 30-man
links team, with strong and bril-
liant aggregation of individual per-
formers, are getting tired of taking
what they call the run-around from
the outfit at Rock Creek Park. At
least Clay Bragg, one of the Ana
costa clubs star performers, thinks
so.
Confidently claiming that the An
acoStia linksmen have the strongest
team on the municipal courses Bragg
says the secretary of the club is
sending today to Rock Creek Park
a peremptory challenge to Cleve
Millers crowd to put up or shut up"
In other words, the Anacostia boys
say that Rock Creek Park must set
a date and appear for match, or
Anacostia will claim a forfeit.
Further. Anacostia, on top of the
heap in the chase for the public
links title, says that if the uptown
lads do not meet them they will
try to set a date for a match with
East Potomac Park for the team
championship and the Bill Davis
Trophy, and will disregard Rock
Creek Park.
They don't want to play us,
guess" said Bragg. They've put

Best Title Tournament
YET Is Aim Of Golf
Officials Here
Mid-September Amateur
Affair at Manor Club
Due for Big Entry

Officials of the District of Colum-
bia Golf Association have started
the ball rolling toward what they
predict will be Washington's finest
amateur title tourney in the 26 years
of the associations existence. The
tourney will be held September IT,
18, 10 and 20, at the Manor Country
Club.
President Robert A. Keilty of the
District association sat down with
Executive Committee members at
Congressional a few days ago and
worked out a plan designed to pop
ularize the championship tourney,
which in recent years has drawn
only a handful of contestants. Pres
ent at the meeting were Keilty, Sec
retary William c. Barr, Harry G..
Pitt, Golf chairman at Manor: Vice
President DR.. Paul M. Stewart,
Albert r. Mackenzie and Albert E.
Steinem.
Pitt was appointed to handle all
tournament details, including &C
ceptance of entries, which will close
at Manor September Is. No post
entries will be accepted. which is
something new with the District
championship. Usually many en-
tries come in after the deadline and
are accepted. But that won't be
done this year.
Every entrant will pay a fee of SO,
which will entitle him to play for
four days-with a practice round
and dinner at Manor on Thursday,
September 10. At least four flights
of golfers are expected to be paired
for the championship, which means
minimum of "a players. a total
the District championship hasn't
had in many years. Between now
and the time of the tourney the
association is expected to do some
promotion work, the idea being to
pull a big entry list. 1t should do
just that at Manor this year, for
Manor happens to be one of the
more popular spots for a big golf
tourney.
The tournament sponsors will try
to get away from the idea that be-
cause tournament has the cham
pionship tag on it, it should draw
only the best players. DR.. Keilty
explains that there will be plenty
of competition for those who do not
aspire to the championship crown
itself. 1t is high time that the Dis
trict championship became not only
a title tournament, but a gathering
of the competitive golf clan, so TO
speak.

Boneup Shows Promised
In Both Tournaments

You may remember how many
long puts Bud Ward had to sink
against the straight-shooting Doer-
ing a year ago. 1t was enough to
break the heart of an iron OK as II
and 20 footers rolled into the cup.
A hot putter is a great help.
Willie Turnesa, one of the sound
est stylists we have, will be one Of
the main challengers to regain the
crown he dropped last fall. So will
Johnny Fischer, with time enough
to get ready. You also can add the
name of Ray Billows to this list.
BilloWs is one of the stars of the
field-a sound, smart game COM
petitor who usually plays Winged
Foot extremely we'll. Bill Holt from
Syracuse is another.
And then there is Jim Ferrier,
Australia's open and amateur cham
pion, who will make a bold bid for
the first golf crown any invader
from down under ever has at
tempted to take back to the South
ern Cross. Ferrier is one of the
best amateur golfers in the world
"a seasoned campaigner who can
hold his own in any company.

Duck Season Increased
From as to so Duys

Duck hunters in the United States
will have a 60-dav season in which
to pursue migratory waterfowl this
year instead of the As days in effect
last season. The new limits were
announced by Secretary of the In
terror Ickes as head of the Fish
and Wildlife Service, formerly the
Bureau of Biological Survey.
Dates for hunting in this area are
from November to December 81.
State laws in Maryland and Vir-
ginia. however. prohibit shooting
on Sunday, cutting the season
somewhat.
Bag limits on duck remain at 10
per day, with the limit on geese
cut to three per day instead of the
four permitted last season.

Izzy Janazzo will make passes at
Holman Williams dark eyes at
Griffith Stadium August 26 if the
carefully-calculated plans of Ell
Gabriel Menendez, maker of the box
fight matches for Senor Joe Turner,
can bring the boys to terms.
Williams name is on the dotted
line-almost. but Janazzo hasn't
cast his ballot. El Gabriel waves a
telegram assuring him of practically
nothing at all but that August 26
falls on Monday on the Gregorian
calendar when he speaks of Will
liamS' signature. But Menendez is
not one to be dissuaded by such
trif1ing items. The match, to hear
him tell it, is all arranged.
Well, half of it is arranged, &C
cording to the telegram. 1t reads:
"OksF for Williams to box Janazzo
August 26 if terms are right
Signed. JOHN ROXBOROUGH.
Terms, terms Why. that's a
trifling matter for Meester Menen-
dez who has developed a brand new
technique along such lines. 1t ees
something's to make even Don
Miguel Jacobs blush for the shame.
Menendez simply decides which
fighter figures to win then offers
him staggering guarantee - say
1212 per cent of the gross receipts.
OF course, out of his 121s per cent
said fighter is expected to pay a
$3.50 locker fee and his opponents s
guarantee, which has gotten to be
around $500 of late.
Confident Both Will Sign.
"Eef he is so popular with the
fans" reasons Ell Gabriel, referring
to the favorite. ''he should be willing
to gamble on the gate receipts. no?"
Menendez is dead certain Williams
will sign for the Janazzo bout at the
price offered and equally certain it
will be match such as Washington
hasn't witnessed since Eddie Burl
and Petey Sarron created civil strife
at old Portner's Brewery in Alex
andria. Janazzo, you may recall, is
the gent who stabbed Stephano Mar
maduke Mamakos silly on the OPEN
ing program at Riverside last spring.
To make it unanimous Williams is
the butcher who carved Stephano's
bloody carcass into pound packages
at Baltimore some weeks before.
