In Title Series

Two winners in as many sections
in the championship division of The
Star-sponsored match-play golf
tourney for Government employees
moved over today to make room for
another section winner-the victor
in the first playoff of section tie
in the three-year history of the
affair.
Agriculture Departments strong
golf team, whipping Federal Bureau
of Investigation, 512 to u, in play
off match, joined Accounts and De-
posits of Treasury and General Ac-
counting Office, the other section
winners in the championship class.
The three section winners will meet
in a round-robin playof for the
Government match-play title in
September.
Victory of Agriculture at Kenwood
over the F. B. I. boys wound up the
first part of the Government tour
ney. Thirty teams have been play
ing in the affair since early in May.
They will not compete in any more
tournament matches until the round
robin in September. Winners in
class B were Reconstruction Finance
Corp. and Public Buildings.
Wilbur w. Seay and Art Myers of
Agriculture's top team put together
a best-ball of 10 to win, l up, from
the F. B. I. team of Billy Dettweiler
and Carl Betsch, although Betsch
was the low scorer of the quartet,
with 70. In this match Agriculture
won 2l2 points, although victorious
only by single hole.
Joe Pennington and Frank Grado-
vile of Agriculture took three points
from Charlie Beau and Astor Clarke
to clinch the victory for the Farm
ers Pennington and Gradoville
were 2 under par when the match
ended.
Government Printing Office, sur
prise winners of the tourney last
year, finished well down the list and
were not really in the contention
toward the end. In the September
playoff General Accounting Office
will be represented by Jerry Hart,
Jock Olmsted, Joe Wilson and Sam
Harvey. Playing for Accounts and
Deposits have been r. H. O'Malley,
John r. Miller, Jack Palmer and
Joy Weisenberger.

A Fourth" that had all the ear
marks of a perfect holiday for bass
fishermen in this neighborhood
apparently had been partly spoiled
by heavy rains of the last two
days. The Shenandoah had been
reported clear at Harpers Ferry, and
the green light was on for both
Potomac and Monocacy Rivers, and
a gala day was anticipated.
The bass brigade, however, un-
doubtedly will have many more fine
days to try their luck, although
it II take a lot of fishing to atone
for the loss of one of these welcome
holidays.
About where to fish for black
bass, you don't have to go far. But
you can if you want. A favorite
spot is just above Chain Bridge
where the spillway from Dalecarlia
Reservoir hits the Potomac. No
license is needed there. Above there
where Maryland holds sway license
is needed, as is one down in Vir-
ginia.
Those who fish Virginia waters
around here 60 to Gunston Cove,
a place which isn't as good as it
used to be because of the rapid
growth of water chestnut. In the
same general direction along the
river is Quantico Greek and even
further down Aqua Greek, a very
good place at times.

BY long odds the most specta-
cular golf show staged around
Washington since the National Open
golf championship of 1921 was on
today at the Indian Spring Coun-.
try Club where slow fairways,
creased with runlets of water chal-
lenged the lengthy wallops of some
of golf's biggest hitters. Which is
one way of saying that the District
pro-amateur golf championship,
staged as Red Cross benefit affair,
may go to the pair who can knock
that ball long way from the tee.
All of which doesn't leave Henry
G. Picard, the tall Professional
Golfers Association, and Roger Pea
cock, probably Washington's best
amateur golfer, in tears. Both of
them happen to be very long hitters,
and over that course where long
hitting is sure to count they loom
as the team to lick.
Fortunes wheel turns and ALWAYS
comes up with winner, and smiling
Henry Picard can look back on his
prediction of a few months ago and
chuckle. For Henry it was who
said that Gene Sarazen was hitting
the ball better than any man in
America. and could win the National
Open championship. Gene came
pretty close to it at that, out Gene
won't be close in his declaration
that he has picked a pro team which
can whip the Ryder Cup outfit
picked by the P. G. A. So Henry
thinks.
Picard happens to be a member of
that Ryder Cup team. The Ryder
Cup boys, bilked by war of chance
to hand the British whipping last
November, will meet a team picked
by Sarazen in a match at Detroit
July 16 and IT. This will be an
other Red Cross affair, probably
the biggest of the year. DO you
think Genes team can lick the
Ryder Cup OUTFIT" I asked Henry.
Ryder Cup Boys Will Win.
"Not chance" said the tall man
from Hershey Even though there
was some sentiment in picking that
Ryder Cup team last year and

Hutchinson, Clicking for Bisons,
Recalled by Detroit Tigers

Hutchinson turned out to be- just
what O'Neill needed, but as luck
would have it, the Tigers, fighting
hard to keep on top in the Amer
ican League race, decided to recall
Freddy yesterday. Lynn Nelson,
veteran righthander, obtained by
Detroit from the Philadelphia Ath-
letics last year, is being sent to
Buffalo.
Hutchinson gave Del Baker, De-
troit manager, plenty to be opti-
mistic about last night by topping
off his short International League
stay with a shit AZ victory over
the Toronto Maple Leafs. 1t was
his sixth win of the year and re-
stored the Bisons to sixth place in

Payment Voluntary,
Fee Nominal for
SideIine Seats
Rain Delays Doubles,
Makes Program for
Today Uncertain
BY BILL DISMER, Jr.

With possibilities of further delay
because of unsettled weather con-
ditions the only thing certain about
the Middle Atlantic tennis tourna-
ment today was that the Red Cross
War Relief Fund would benefit from
most of the remaining matches
whenever played.
Acting on the theory that District
net fans not only would not object
to paying to see such high-class
tennis as should be provided, but
would be glad to contribute to the
Red Cross, Columbia Country Club
officials today announced a volun-
tary payment for witnessing the
imminent matches.
Good Seats Provided.
At that the admission will be
nominal, as only 40 cents will be
asked of spectators who wish to sit
in the sideline bleacher seats dur
ing both the singles and doubles
finals and only Is cents for the
singles semifinals.
Persons who can't spare the quar-
ter or 40 cents still may watch free
from behind the backstops parallel
to the baseline and on the far bank
adjacent to the court.
There was little hope that the
quarterfinal singles matches could
be run off this morning as scheduled.
Barney Welsh was to meet Jimmy
Farrin, Hugh Lynch play Bill
Breese, David johnson clash with
Dick Murphy and Buddy Adair
square off against Alphonso Smith.
Welsh is seeded No. l, followed
by Lynch, johnson. Smith, Murphy,
Breese, Farrin and Adair in that
order.
Then, instead of the doubles final
which would have been played this
afternoon had the semifnals been
completed yesterday, two semifinal
team engagements were to send top
ranked Lynch and johnson against
third-seeded Farrin and Bill How
ard and second-seeded Welsh and
Dooly Mitchell against fourth
ranked Smith and Murphy.
Finals Saturday or Sunday.
If all goes well that should set
the stage for singles semifnals to
be played tomorrow, with the pos
sibility of both finals on Saturday
or one being delayed until Sunday,
dependent upon the contestants in
volved.
The singles draw calls for the VIM
ners of the Lynch -Breese and john
sen-Murphy encounters to meet in
the semis of the upper half, with
the Welsh-Farrin and Smith-Adair
survivors clashing in the other semi
final.

Remainder ofde Atlantic Tennis Matches Will Aid Red

The
Race Horses Becoming
Tougher to Pick
BY GRANTLAND RICE,


NEW YORK, July CNAN.A)-
This is no part of a sermonic ad-
vocation to break the startling news
that 'you can't beat the races"
Even an anthropoid, which can't
add up one and one, knows that you
can't beat any such percentage over
any period of time.
But this doesn't alter the fact
that attempting to beat the races"
appeals to great many mil
lions of people who are entitled to
have their fun and get their thrills
from even forlorn financial hope.
You read about all the millions
bet through mutuel machines. The
total is enormous. You don't read so
much about the money bet through
hookmakers, and the total equally
is stupendous.
If millions feel that way about it
and part of it. at least, is legal-an
age-old instinct to get something
for nothing, any moralizing would
be about the same as sending a
canoe through tidal wave. So the
best we can do for our large and
growing gambling public is to give
them better chance and save part
of their hard-earned cash.

Rod and Stream

For Maryland fishing you might
try SWANS Lock just above Great
Falls or go up to Seneca. The
further up the Potomac you 60 the
better it is likely to be. Good
catches are made around Shep-
herdstown, w. Va, and Williams
port, Md. Failing Waters, w. Va,
is another spot for black bass and
it isn't as heavily fished as are
some of the others.
About bait. Getting live bait
around here is problem. Those
fellows up in Georgetown who carry
it are not always well stocked. One
method of having bait if you're a
live bait man is to catch it yourself,
using small hand net and running
it along the shore or in shallow
streams. You will be surprised how
easy 1t is to get your own once you
learn how.
The best conservation method is
to use artif1cals, not because they
don't catch as many fish but be-
cause these live minnows used as
bait are fish food. Take all the fish
food and the fish suffer. A Gov
ernment survey of the South Fork
of the Potomac several years ago
showed plenty of bass in that stream
but they all were small and skinny.
The answer was that there were
few minnows, most of them having
been taken out for bait. So instead
of stocking bass in tnat stream the
Government put in q fresh supply
Of 1ninnows.
Take Experts Advice.
And if you do use drtiicials, either
plugs, spoons, bucktails, flies, ETC..
take the advice of experienced
anglers at the place you fish about
which bats to use there. No use in
us giving a list of our favorites, be-
cause they likely will not always
work at all places and probably we
fish them differently
Yellow is one of our favorite COL
ors-yellow streamers, yellow river
runts, yellow bucktails. Yet some
anglers swear by red, some by black.
It's all a matter Of taste and on
what color or type of bait you made
your first big killing.
We have found, though, that a
bass bait in which you have con-
f1dence is better than one on which
you place no faith. If you fish q
bait that you know isn't going to
catch fish you're licked before you
start. but If you know your bait Is
going to get 'em, then you'll get EN-
