Poyinq Golf Bets in Defense
Stamps and Bonds Urged
As Patriotic Investment

Tee shots for tanks, brassies for
bombers and puts for machine
guns may spark the "win-the-war"
slogan for American golfers If the
suggestion of Verne P. Simmons Of
the Congressional Country Club
finds official backing in the Treas
ury Department, sponsoring sale OF
savings stamps and Defense bonds.
Instead of a dollar Nassau" said
Simmons, "if the golfers Of the land
would pay of their bets in savings
stamps or baby bonds. think what
a tremendous sale total that would
bring to the Treasury.
Would that stamp the golfers as
doing their bit to raise money for
Uncle Sam? I'll bet you baby
bond it would"
Probably there are throughout the
land around 100000 people who
play golf. Most of them play on
week ends. 1t wouldn't be far out
of line to estimate that this throng
of divot fingers bets million dol
lars over any week end-maybe
much more. No one knows exactly
how many golfers there are or how
much they bet. But probably much
more than a million dollars is bet
and won and lost over any week
end.

Verne, I'VE could bet bomber Mas

tlon's team championships IN 1912.
The 1941 team tourney will start
September 7, to run for five weeks.
AS the tournament now is operated
the matches conflict in some cases
with club championships, which
usually start in September, and with
the nome games of the Redskins.
Last year they had plenty of
trouble getting together representa-
tive teams on the Sundays the Red
skins played home games here. The
boys frankly said they would rather
see the football game than travel
to Baltimore for a golf match.
The State association has asked
the Washington member clubs 10
vote on proposals to hold the team
tourney in May or August and also
to change the method of playing
the matches.
Feminine golfers are looking
ahead to the Mason and Dixon tour
ney at White Sulphur Springs. w.
Va, starting week from tomorrow.
Betty P. Meckley, Maryland State
champ, will head group of about
20 women from Washington max
ing the trip to White Sulphur.
Washington pro golfers are lining
up partners for the Grosner anna
teur-pro match play affair, to be
staged at Manor September Is, Is
and IT. But Witty Cox, prexy of the
Middle Atlantic P. G. A. and one
of the top scoring pros OF this or
any other sector probably, will not
play. Witty has been asked to COM
pete in the Hurst tourney at Phila-
delphia, which opens soon after the
Grosner affair.

Clyde Martin, Bethesda-bo win
ner of the Joe Louis Open tourna-

the National Colored Open cham
pionship at Boston this week fav-
orite to annex the tourney.
Martin learned golf at the Con-
gressional Country Club where he
caddied for Tommy Armour. Two
years ago he was the pro at the
Langston colored course. Now he
is private pro for Louis, heavy
weight boxing champion.
Joe has gone big for golf, and be-
sides having a private pro, spon-
sored the tourney at Detroit last

Two Golf Events Attract Men,
While Women Have One

Three big golf tournaments for
men and women dot the schedule
this week. All three are concen-
trated in two days-tomorrow and
Tuesday.
Tomorrow many of the crack pros
and amateurs from the Capital will
move up to Lancaster, Pa, to play
in an amateur-pro tourney staged
by Arthur B. Thorn, former Wood
mont pro.
Tuesday a double -barreled links
bill will find the women playing in
the Columbia Broadcasting System
tourney at Chevy Chase, while the
male golfers-both pro and amateur
will be competing in one of those
one-day combination affairs staged
by the Maryland State Golf Associa-
ton. This one will be the usual pro
and amateur sweepstakes affair,
an amateur-pro, staged at Congress
Sional.
The boy can do all right in these
little Journeys if the entry list is
large enough to pile up quite a
chunk of change. Jerry Burch,
Beaver Dam amateur, did all right
in the tourney staged by the Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. at Woodholme
last week. He won $40 in merchan-
disc and didn't know how to spend
it all. Jerry won the amateur
sweepstakes event and, with Al
Houghton, also won the amateur

10 Survive Late
Baltimore Youth Gained
Third Round in 1910;
BrownelI LuckIess
By WALTER McCALLUM.

Ralph Bogart, the 200-pound Dis
trict amateur champion, is no green
pea at the business of knocking a
golf ball from here to there in the
minimum number of strokes. The
tall, husky youngster who has been
dubbed "Einstein" by his links COM
panions because of his intense con-
centration, will be no soft touch
along the road to the National
championship when the big show OF
amateur golf gets under way a week
from tomorrow at the Omaha
(Nebr.) Field Club. But it is ask
ing a lot to infer that Ralph Will
bring the championship back to the
Capital.
Numerically the Washington del
eeation to the title tourney OF l94l
will be the smallest in many years.
And YOU couldn't say it will be
stronger because the single local
oualifier is a good golfer. 1t takes
more than one good golfer to make
q worthwhile showing for any city,
although only one man can win the
title
Bogart will be making his third
bid for the championship at Omaha.
He qualified in 1898, at the tender
age of 18, and failed to make the
match-play grade at Oakmont. He
oualified again at Winged Foot IN
1910 and this time entered the
match rounds, falling before Ted
Bishop of Boston in the opening
round So Ralph's record is not
particularly impressive.
Ralph Has Improved.
But the youngster has learned
lot about golf in the last year or
two. He has put on poundage and Is
knocking those tee shots long way.
He is a better putter, and an all
around better competitor. He has
chance, although slim one, 10
make a good showing in the Ma
tional. Ralph is big winner
around Washington. but he will be
going up against the class OF the
amateurs of the land at Omaha.
Every section has one or two out
standing amateur stars such as
Ralph is around Washington. and
Ralph will be submerged in the mid
die of a flock of the best in the am
ateur game. They aren't, by the
way, as classy group Of shotmak-
ers as were the amateurs OF 10 years
ago, but they can play considerable
golf.
Otto F. Greiner, the tall Baltimore
boy, looms as the best bet OF the
mid Atlantic sector to move into the
upper bracket of the amateur cham
pionship. Otto went to the third
round in the title tourney last year,
and proved his ability to the salts
faction of many veteran observers.
He has all the shots a champion
needs.
Tough for Brownell.
It's a bad break for Bobby
Brownell, of course, that the Manor
blond has been cut out OF a shot
at the National smack in the mid
die of his biggest season. Bobby
has won so much this year that he
has been tabled as one OF the gen.
uine threats to grab the amateur
crown. Which is just what he would
have been had he played in the
championship. But he Is out Of golf
Indefinitely.
The coming tournament, by the
way, probably will be Ralph Bogart's
last National amateur affair for
quite a stretch. Ralph Is 81 and
registered for the new Army draft
last month. And always there re-
mains a question as to whether
there will be an amateur champion
ship at all in 1912.

ROD and STREAM s}s'a ssss!aAp
HossIers Call Turn With Record Catch
Anglers Amazed by Size Of Spot

Marion Hassler's Stormy Petrol is
q 32-foot cruiser built especially for
big game fishing. Her skipper, Capt.
Tom Clifford, noted Miami guide,
sailed her to Kingston, Jamaica,
last winter through really tough
weather, and back to Cat Cay, where
this spring his ability in getting the
big tuna on, coupled with the ma
nueverability of the boat, was re-
sponsible for the winning of the
greatest big game fishing tourna-
ment in the world.
In June Tommy told us of his in
tention of going to Louisburg, Nova
Scotia. with the express purpose OF
catching a broadbill swordfish on
nine-thread line We followed with
interest the 2,5O0-mile cruise of the
Stormy Petrol. from Miami to Louis
burg Harbor, because many of those
miles were offshore. And noted the
first broadbill caught by Mrs. Has
sler, and a second, both on "a
thread. The third, weighing 214
pounds, was on nine-thread, but it
was more than calling the play, for
1t was a worlds record for women
on nine thread for broadbill sword
fish.
The all-tackle record is 365
pounds, made by j. w. Jump at
Catalina in 1928. but with the best
fishing still coming up there Is every
chance for Mrs. Hassler to get a
larger swordfish.
Chantland Realizes Ambition.
Bill Chantland is an inveterate
fisherman He consistently has
caught the first bluefiSh each spring
when blues were running in the
bay. He likes his offshore fishing
and the Gulf Stream fishing at
Southport. In between, he will take
hardhead and like it, but since we
can remember his great ambition
has been to get cobia on the bust
ness end of a rod and line.
He went down the Virginia shore
year after year with that express
purpose in mind, and tried the fish
ing at Fishermans Island at Cape
Charles, but never was he lucky
enough to get one on. Others in
the boat hooked and caught cobia
and last year Mrs. Chantlano
hooked and fought one up to the
boat. After that he acknowledged
publicly, his better half was the
better angler
This week Bill Chantland is smil-
ing widely for he has accomplished
bis desire. He can hold his head
high In his own castle, for he caught
not only one cobia, but two, on his

A story from Jensen, Fla. this
week. seems to rate inscription in
the book"
Bridge fishing is practiced in that
section, and there always are a
great number of regulars who are
to be found in the same place day
after day.
One had tucked his cane pole in
a crack to gossip with another
fisherman, when a fish struck, and
when last seen, 1t was going up the
river fast.
The following day one of his
buddies saw the pole coming down
the river and recovered it with
13i2-pound seatrout. still alive. on
the hook. The owner also was on
the bridge, and claimed the fish and
the rig. but WITHOUT success. The
whole bridge joined in the argument
and finally the fish was fllleted with
a piece going to each. The, pole re-
verted to the original owner.
1t would be dif1icult to find any
one these days who didn't believe
in conservation, but few know that
true conservation is based, not on
the take, but on the continuance of
the environment, whether 1t be
woods or water, that wildlife must
have, unpolluted and unspoiled, II
they are to continue to live under
