Maryland Plans Nearby Trout Project;

Valley Run Is a trout stream close

a beautiful section of Baltimore
County and belongs to 16 large land
owners who were about to close 1t to
all fishing because Of the poor
craftsmanship of trespassers. They

cessful the commission is being
asked to take over another stream
in Baltimore County.
Frank Bentz, chief clerk of the
commission, has asked for our CO.
operation in finding such stream
close to Washington.
Hundreds of anglers have asked
for good nearby trouting in the past.
Many might have some ideas on the
subject. Others may have some par
ticular stretch of water in mind. If
you want this fishing, now is the
time to let us know about it. No

The present condition of piece of
water isn't proof that it could not
be improved to support trout. Such
improvement would afford an Izaak
Walton Chapter or an angling Or

help.
Lowland trout streams aren't an
impoSsibility. Paint Branch has sup
ported them through the hottest
summers and is foremost in our
thoughts for this project. There are
half dozen other creeks that could
be improved-if not for trout then
for largemouth bass. If anglers here
want such streams, with the usual
restricted fishing conditions, now is
the time to say so.

Last Year, Will Not
Defend Her Title
Two Other Post Victors
Here, but Neither Is
Certain of Playing
BY BILL DISNiER, Jr.

Definite word that The Star Cur
will not be defended by its present
holder and the possibility that, fo1
the first time in the city of Wash
ington tennis tournaments 13-year
history, no former women's cham
pion would play popped up today
to add spice to the fair sex division
which inaugurates competition in
The Star-sponSored event next Mon
day at Army Navy Country Club.
Because there are a million and
one things a prospective bride must
do the week before her big event,
Margo Lee, 1910 winner, definitely
has decided to forego defense Of her
title. Miss Lee marrieS Walter b
Mahony, jr., on June 9-just two
days after the tournament is Scned-
uled to end.
The contingency that the wom-
ems field may be without an ex-
champ arises in the instances Of
both of the only two former winners
now living here-Sara Moore and
Mary Cootes Belin The former, 1885
champion, has given no word that
she would or would not compete.
Mrs. Belin has expressed the desire
to play, but must await physicians
decision to be given today. Her back
has been giving her trouble, and she
may be ordered to refrain from all
athletic activity.
Gives Chance to Many.
Thus, the tournament takes on
the aspect of one of those wide
open" affairs in which every con-
testant must be considered to have
as good chance as the next one.
Three of Washington's 10 ranking
netwomen already have sent in their
entries with one, Willie O'Steen
Herbert. in all probability destined
to be seeded No. l. She is ranked
second only to Miss Lee locally, but
should Mrs. Belin come in the re-
spective one and two seedlings would
be something for the Tournament
Committee to decide. Mrs. Belln
currently is unranked locally, but
whipped Mrs. Herbert in straight
sets in the finals of the 1899 tourney
Others already entered are
Frances Rowan, co-holder OF the
doubles championship of the first
city tournament in 1928 and still
good enough to be ranked seventh
in the District, and Lib Sewers,
rated just below her. Mrs. Rowan
lost only to Mrs. Herbert in last
years tournament, while the Sewers
lady extended Dorette Miller to
three deuced sets before finally
bowing.
Play on Fine Courts.
That contestants will be playing
on some of the finest courts in the
vicinity is unquestioned. Army
Nays har-tru surfaces not only are
ideal, but are the quick-drying va
riety, which makes it possible to re-
sumo playing less than 80 minutes
after any but the hardest kind OF
rain. Hence, the Tournament Com
mittee's optimism about running on
the entire tournament in six days,
finals In both singles and doubles
being scheduled for Saturday,
June 7.
Although singles entries will close
at 6 pm. Saturday with Bill Ken
ney, new professional at Army
Navy, doubles entries will remain
epen until the end of Mondays

start the following day with
