To Aim for Places
In u. ). Amateur
Willing to Go If They
Qualify But Latter
May Lond in Army

Even though this years national
amateur golf championship will not
| receive the wide support the title
tourney has had in past years, at
least two of Washington top
youngsters (both qualifiers last year,
are laying their plans to go to
Omaha for the 194l affair. Reason
for the apathy of the Simon-pures
around the Capital regarding the
amateur championship is that it
will be held in Nebraska. Consider
able expense of both time and money
is involved in such a trip from the
National Capital.
But both Earle Skinker of Colum-
bia and Ralph Bogart of Army Navy,
last years qualif1ers from the Capt.
tai, are figuring on making the
grade in the sectional rounds and
going to Omaha for a crack at the
amateur crown. A few more top
ranking amateurs from Washington
Will play in the sectional qualifying
rounds at the Country Club of
Maryland August IA, but right down
the line the tourney won't draw the
big field it would attract if the
championship proper were to be
held at spot closer to Washington.
Bogart will go, with two ifs
First is IF" Uncle Sam doesn't reach
out and grab the big District anna
teur champion in the draft Sec
ond IF" hinges on his success in
the sectional qualification rounds.
But Skinker declares that last IF"
is out-for him. I'm going to
qualify" he says. I'm going to
California and back to Omaha" :"
There's nothing like confidence
when it happens to be- backed by
the potent brand of golf the tow
headed youngster from Columbia
can produce.
Bogart registered for the draft a
few days back. He may be called for
military service within a couple of
months, which would mean the end
of his l94l sally toward the national
amateur championship and also
would mean new District amateur
champion. Ralph won the local title
in 1899 and 1910 and again will be
the man to lick if the Army doesn't
get him before the championship,
listed for mid-September.

locations to fish for black bass ask
a question as tough as how to
fish them or what bait to use. There
never have been any small bass
waters that would stand the bright
light of publicity. We know that
from having noted particular
streams in the past and seeing them
fished out within week.
The Potomac River, the North
Branch. the Shenandoah, the North
and the South Forks of the
Potomac, are all the finest bass
waters to be found anywhere in the
East. Since their stocking during the
middle of the last century they have
supplied stockings for other waters.
Maryland has planted hundreds OF
thousands of fry year after year.
It is big water and if anglers lined
the banks they couldn't fish it out.
For the bass fisherman who pre-
fers a plug in place of the flyrod
and bug so much in use here, the
river-runts are first choice Pork
rind bats are nearly as good.
Crappie is Sporting Fish.
Many inland States propagate and
stock their waters with crappie. In
this area they have been planted
only on a small scale and visitors
ask where they may go to catch
them.
There are many millponds in
Virginia where crappie have been
stocked in the past. Some of them
will produce surprising results too
but the best is the Potomac.
1t isn't just question of dropping
bait over, however, for the crappie
is shy. Backwaters and cuts where
natural haunts, particularly if there
are cut-under banks or sunken tree
stumps. Between Joe Fletchers at
New Cut Road and Great Falls there
are many such places and they all
have their quota of this fine game
fish.
We think they are the answer to
better stream fishing in this area
and if stocked in great quantities in
the Potomac would supply real sport
for thousands of anglers. Any one
of Uncle Sans nearby hatcheries
could produce them with little
trouble and at small cost and it
looks as though such plan will
materialize for the Maryland Com.
mission is ready to help better fish,
ing in nearby Maryland.

Manv of Washington S Johnny
Newcomers hail from sections where
the largemouth bass is unknown. 1t
Is natural they want to know the
difference between the smallmouth
black bass which they know and the
lsrgemouths we talk about here.
In appearance there is little dlf-
ference sometimes Again the lateral
line of the largemouth is more pro-
rounced. Then certain waters bring
ont the lighter yellow shades in
the largemouth while the small
mouth holds to the darker greens.
At times experienced anglers hardly
can tell the difference even by the
position of the eve. The fish cultur-
ist counts the scales and arrives at
nearly the right conclusion unless
he happens on a third species,
generally accepted as the Southern
smallmouth. We count them all as
black bass-and pretty swell fishing.
Essentially the largemouth is a
warmer water fish. In this area he

We know many fishermen that
know their bass in this section, yet
there hardly are any two who will
