WASt1IAGTON Sept 4.-Read
the statements of the Reich high
command and the British air
ministry with the help of a man
who knows his military planes
and his bombs and you reach the
astonishing conclusion that the
air war we're reading about every
day is not even well started yet
It is true, of course, that many
lives have been lost, much prop
erty damaged. 1t would be hard
to explain to a man who has seen
his neighbor die, or to a flier who
has spun. out of the sky, that the
air war is not on.
But, if the experts have it
right, air fighting up to now is
a warm-up for the war to come,
and an effort on both sides to
crack morale on the other. In
the warm-up, each side learns
the others long suits, his short
comings. By constantly driving
civilians already fed up with war
to afraid shelters, they're in
flicting a sort of third degree, in
tended to crack nerves. make
people ask for rest, even If their
country has to lose a war.
Berlin And London Mention It
The experts will tell you that
air war-all-out air war-will be-

We've already had fleeing
glimpses of the word in the COM
muniques from Berlin and Lon

1t, and our dreams are aided by such
excellent books as this one.
Salmon fishing is one of the sporti-
est OF all types of angling, made so
by the fact that these fish strike
not from hunger, but from curiosity
more than anything else. Tackle
necessary to fool them is not much
heavier than ordinary trout tackle.
1t takes skill to hook a salmon and
more skill to land it.
The author, Lee Wulf, is as much
noted for his pictures of salmon as
he is for his angling. and the plenti-
full pictures in this volume are
wonders of the Photographic art Of
catching leaping fish. On playing
the fish, Mr.. Wulff has one peril
nent passage that might we'll be
applied to all game fish: "The
anglers main concern is to keep the
drag light and yet not allow the
reel to oveuun and cause q backlash.
The exertion of swimming Is tiring
to a fish and will wear him down
quicker than tug Of war in which
he moves little, just as a man will
tire less in tug of war than he
will in a sprint that lasts only a
f1ftieth of the time. The fish's own
exertion will tire him more quickly
than any strain the angler can put
on him."

FARRELL Beats World
Mark for 5 Hours
OF Shoe Hurting
Versatile Athlete Rinas
Peg ! 1888 Times to Top
Record of Iowun

Temple FARRELL, former University
Of Maryland high jumper, one of
the city's leading softball pitchers
and lacrosse player, yesterday
added greatly to his varied achieve
ments by setting a world record in
horseshoe pitching.
FARRELL, hurting on the public
courts opposite the Commerce
Building, smashed to smithereens
the 5-hour mark of 1857 ringers
that brought fame to Frank Breen
of Elgin, ILL.,, in 1898. The ex-Terp
fired 1883. Trying with him to top
Breen's record was Harold s. Rom
ming, president of the National
Capital Horseshoe Club, who scored
1,020 ringers.
The pair walked an estimated
miles.
FARRELL averaged about so per cent
ringers. In the first hour he circled
the peg 1874 times, then fatigue took
its toll. His other hourly scores were
269, 268, 267 and 245.
A witness to the feat was Jimmy
Risk, the national horseshoe star
from Montpelier, Ind.
Today the city's ace f1ippers open
league play on the Commerce courts

masters carry a tournament loss
into years of vain regrets, bitter
ness and feuding.
Howard Staunton ever sought to
vindicate his shabby treatment of
Paul Morphy, the first American
chess champion. World Champion
Alexander Alekhin feels that his
present attitude toward Challenger
Jose Capablanca is justified by the
latter's earlier treatment of Alekhin
the amateur.
The recently concluded United
States Chess Federation Congress In
New York City saw Reuben Fine
edged out of his lifelong ambition to
be the United States chess cham
pion by a mere half point, a drawn
game that should and could have
been won.
But Samuel Reshevsky, who gar
nered the title first in 1886, repeated
his conquest in 1888, found that in
1910 the fates still favored him, and
he again emerged American cham
pion.
Now Fine isn't bitter about
Reshevsky winning the crown for
the third time, but he wouldn't be
human if he did not have a tinge of
remorse over the way he lost it.
1t has been suggested that the two
grandmasters stage an itinerary of
match games. This recommendation
carries the Endorsement of chess
fans. Perhaps a round could be
played here.

Overcomes Aging Hoodoo
To Beat Burke by I Up
On Richmond Course

RICHMOND, Va, June Char
ley Kent of the Country Club of
Virginia broke an aging jinx today
to turn back Aulick Burke of Peters
burg, up, and capture the Hermi-
tage Country Club invitation golf
title.
The stocky little Richmonder, who
has been on the losing end of semi
final and final matches for years,
hit the ball well and straight to
take the measure of his tall op-
ponent, despite Burke's rally on the
final nine.
Kent was forced to go the route in
his morning round to eliminate
Ralph Bogart of Washington, D. c.,
l up. while Burke reached the final
with 3-and-2 victory over Volney
Burnett, another District of Column
bia entry.
Kent reached the tenth tee with a
2-up advantage, but Burke made
a close match of it the rest of the
way, They halved the long tenth
when Kent missed his putt and
Burke took the eleventh with a par
4. Numbers IL and 13 were halved
IN parS, and then Burke birdied the
fourteenth to square the match.
Three puts lost Burke the next
hole after he had played a great iron
shot to the edge of the green that
made up for his tee shots erring
into the rough. That gave Kent his
victory margin, the last three holes
being halved
Burke Clipped in for a birdie from
80 feet on the long seventeenth to
divide the hole and send the match
to the final green, where each ended
with par IS.
