ain. AS rule, this clam lives be-
tween high and low tide marks,
burrowing in the sand at low tide
with only the tube -siphon sticking
out. This is one of the excellent
ways of finding them along the sand
beach.
The hard-shell clam is important
historically, for the dark purple spot
at the hinge was the raw material
for the valuable black and purple
wampum, the gold note" of the
Indians when trading with the
white man. In order to get to this
gold" the clam shell was slowly
worn down by friction, stone
being used until only the small dark
bead remained. Instead, when cur
rency was scarce during early Colo
NAL days, the white settlers used
this wampum, which was accepted
everywhere and without fluctuation.
However. the Yankees of Con-
necticut decided to manufacture an
imitation of wampum, and they re-
ceived aid from the Dutch of Long
Island. They decided it would help
matters by having 4 plenty Of wam-
PUN, and mass production resulted.

But South suffered from the de-

his own hand with heart and
finessed the queen of clubs. This
time East took the trick, and South
began to see what was going to

A spade return by East was
finessed and lost to Vests king. A

South's ace. This took out South's

Angels second choice.
West Virginia will throw virtually
brand-new team at the Colonials,

Al nine that won only five in is
games. Veterans were Yorke Do

Michigan, Big Ten Conference
champion, dropped 7-5 decision to
Navy yesterday in it's first game of
the season, but Coach Ray Fisher
hoped for better results against
Maryland. Mickey Fishman. Bill
Cain and Irv Boim were ready for
chucking chores. and Fisher was ex-
pected to alternate them in three
inning shifts.
Maryland's mound choice was Max
Hunt, tough hombre to deal with
when right, but he faced rough
going, for Michigan outslugged the
Tars. 1911, yesterday A couple of
homers by Lefty Lavrakas, which

Recommendation Popular.
The recommendation for staggered
hunting was for two or three days a
week over a 1O-week period. Either
one would cut down the number of
hunting days, and, even though the
season was extended into January
with the three days a week there
would be but six actual hunting days
in the new year.
There are few who would not be
happy with such changes, and do
their part by obeying the law. In
fact, Maryland's chief game warden
seems to have hit upon a plan which
gives every one a little bit of what he
wanted, gives the birds much needed
rest periods during the season and
which. only under exceptional con-
ditions, could produce kill in ex-

For the first time in many years
a situation involving entry of pub
lie links golfers in pro-amateur tour

up for decision. Heretofore public

This year the big pro-am affairs
Jointly are sponsored by the P. G. A,
and the Maryland State Golf Asso-
citation. The latter body does not
include in its membership public
links organizations, and since it is
a co-sponsor of the Journeys it has
a right to question the club affilia-
ton of entrants, particularly as
member clubs pay heavy dues to
belong to the organization.

body; Dr.. r. A, Keilty, tournament
chairman for the Maryland State
organization. and Al Houghton and
John Flattery p G. A. tourney lead
ers for Washington and Baltimore,
soon will meet to thrash out the
situation revolving around the pub
lie links boys, Thought of the pros
is that the public links boys should
play. if their handicaps are spon-
sored by p, G.. A. member.
The handicap situation is the spot
where the public links golfers may
have trouble. Public links organiza-
tions in Washington do not keep
accurate handicap records, in the
same way the Maryland State Golf
Association keeps check on handi-
caps. The publinx boys do not be-
long to the Maryland body. There
in lies the rub.
