Trap 10 Catch Wild
Shots and Protect
Kenwood Golfers

That big trap the greens force is
building at the right of the 10th
green at KenWood isn't meant only
to catch straying tee shots. George
Diffenbaugh, KenWood pro, says it
will be safety measure to protect
golfers on the 1lth tee from being
disturbed by the wild shots of per-
sons playing the 10th hole.
The 18th tee is just off the 10th
green, and a shot few yards off
line in the past could roll across the
11th tee. The new trap will catch
all those wild shots
Here's the answer to why the
greenkeepers are hoping for big
snowfall during the coming winter
The mid-Atlantic sector had the
driest September since 1884, and
little rain has fallen since. Precipi-
tation in September for Maryland
and the District of Columbia was
only IA per cent of normal, the rec
ores show. Midwestern States hao

1t is surprising, how many hunters
are shooting skeet these days to i'm
prove their aim while afield or in
the blind. There is little doubt that
the game increases any ones enjoy
ment in hunting. not only through
cleaner shots with fewer cripples,
but for the extra fowl or piece OF
game to take home.
To finished hunters, an empty bag
is given little thought. but there are
many tyros who hunt day after
day, and because they have never
had any instruction continue to re-
turn without so much as bird or
bunny.
The manager of the National
Capital Skeet Club, c. S. Pittman,
can take a man who has never shot
before, and have him tallying 10 or
more after a few rounds. Members
are equally friendly in extending a
helping hand, and the inexperienced
marksman is never allowed to feel
discouraged over a lack of success
in breaking the clay birds, for every
one had to learn how to do it.
Practice Session Urged.
Try Wednesday afternoon prac-
tice session with Pittman, or an hour
or two at the new Potomac Skeet
and Trap Club out on Ager road,
We believe even oldtimers will find
more flavor in the better shooting
the practice gives them to take
afield.
Western Maryland hunters are
seeking a uniform hunting season
and an earlier opening for shooting
squirrels. At present the seasons
in Garrett, Washington and ALE
gany Counties do not conform with
the rest of the State, becaue the
mountains make earlier shooting
desirable, if a season equal to thai
in the low country is to be had.
If Western Marylanders are look
ing toward better hunting, setting
the open season earlier isn't tht
way to get it, for it is too early
now. 1t is impossible to harvest any
crop before it is fully ripe and get {
good one.
Rain Improves Hunting.
The rain a week ago has improved
upland game shooting considerably
Dogs are holding the scent better
and consequently finding more birds

Phil Fur Away

Matchmaker Johnny Attell is cor
rect in saying Steve Belloise Will
belt Phil Furr from under his wig
if he gets a clean shot at him In
their 1O-round bout next Wednesday
night at Uline Arena, for Stevle Is
strictly a puncher.
But Attell didn't mention that he
has an idea of giving Belloise,
brother of Mike Belloise, former
featherweight champion, another
crack at Ken Overlin if Steve hur-
dies Fur. And if he fails, well,
maybe Fur can inveigle Kenneth
into a match.
Belloise's best recommendation in
this approaching duel is that he
f1attened Wicky Harkins, the same
gent who gave Furr such a going
over before losing a few weeks ago,
and sent him plummeting to the
deck with one punch. Wicky sailed
headlong into a corner when Steve
connected and it is safe to say
ne never was hit harder.
Some critics think Steve lost his

others think he lost heart wher
