town. their members faced with
transportation problems in an area
practically without gasoline, will
stage tournaments over the coming
week end, the first of a series of
three holiday Journeys sponsored by
the United States Golf Association.
The coming Journeys are not the
widespread affairs of last year, al
though all clubs will make attempts
to stage some form of golf event
1t may be that entry lists will not
be large, cut down by lack of trans
portation, but many golfers will get
out despite difficulties.
Chevy Chase will stage Sunday its
usual Memorial. Day tourney, the
annual event for the Victor Kauff :
mann Memorial Day Trophy. This
is an 18-hole handicap match play
against par event.
Washington will hold the annual

A new milestone in local yacht

motor boat owners of Corinthian
Yacht Club are planning to get
together for handicap race.
For obvious reasons, the race will
be in sailboats. not power craft.
1t all began when sailing members
Of CYC issued an invitation to all
power boat members to go sailing
with them on June q between II

Then somebody suggested hand
leap race, which is how matters
stand at this time. Already YOU
can see an envious look on some
motor boat shippers as they watch
the sailing skipper buzzing about
and setting out for a gas-free sail
on the Potomac.

Series Of Equestrian
Tests May Develop
Info Riding Loop
Two Rock Creek Teams
Of Eight Riders Each
Will Oppose Sunday
BY LARRY LAWRENCE.

What may develop into an eoues-
trlan league, something on the order
OF our nter-departmental baseball
leagues, has been started by the
Washington Bride Trails Associa-
ton. Two teams of eight riders each
have been formed, one representing
the north end Of Rock Creek Park
and the other the south end.
These crack riders with their ton
mounts will stage a series of three
contests during the summer. the
first at Equitation Field, Rock Creek
Park, at 1890 Sunday, the others
June 13 and June 27. -
The teams competing Sunday are
captained by two of the Capital
areas foremost woman riders. Eva
Rabbit will head the aggregation
hailing from the north end of the
park and Mrs. Dorothy R. Smith
will lead the eight riders from the
south end of the park.
The events all will be open Jump
ing contests with the best perform
ances of each team counting toward
the final score. On June 27, the day
Of the concluding performance, the
lowest point horses from each team
also will compete for individual
honors.
There is no charge for the affairs
and the public is invited These
outings will give newcomers to
Washington an opportunity to see
some of the great jumpers for which
this section is noted in spirited
action. There is no doubt that other
ambitious horsemen and horse
women Of the Washington Bride
Trails Association will form teams
and be included In the competition.

to give it Whirl in the eddies below
the falls of Occoquan Creek.
They used large white, black, and
black and white streamer flies be-
cause by that time the Tom Loving
fly had disappeared from the mar
ket. They experienced strike after
strike, but never were able to hook
fish.
The following spring Finch ex-
perimented with flies and spoons
and their activation until he found
that by allowing one of the tiny
bangled spoons to sink we'll under
the surface, and then retrieving
it slowly, it was possible to hook the
fish. He later ran across Jack
Nelson fishing just above Chain
Bridge in similar manner and with
equal success.
Fly Is Not Best Lure.
Others witnessing the fun and
success of these two f1yrod addicts
soon caught on to the game. and
when the current season arrived
converts to it were legion.
That, so far as we know, is the
history of f1y-fshing for shad
This season has proved that a
fly isn't the best lure, but that the
small Huntington drone is the most
successful. That only spent" fish
would strike has been disproved for
ripe and near-ripe fish have been
caught over period of many
weeks. The one thing about which
we may be sure is that clear or
nearly clear waters are necessary
for success in this fishing. Be
cause of that there are manv davs
when the most experienced will have
| little luck.
With each succeeding spring
more and more fishermen will
follow this form of fishing. New
lures and new techniques will come
and go, but we always will have this
sporty fishing to while away an
hour or two of an evening.

The other day fisherman,

his surprise hooked a railroad

game" but which has been missed
by every one. including old-timers
supposedly we'll acquainted with
every rock and eddy.
This unexpected water is that
stretch Of the Potomac River above
Washington extending from the
Three Sisters to Little Falls. The
species of fish are shad. both hick-
ory and true, and the herrings.
Taken on casting outfit or flyrod,
it is a game worthy of attention of
the most discriminating sportsman.
Shad and herring have been COM
ing. up the river to spawn for ages,
but it is only In the past three sea-
sons they have been hooked.
Now that this sporty game has
been recognized, those indulging in
it want to know who were the pio-
neers. Conjecture has been rife.
Every one has entirely missed the
fact that this fishing isn't entirely
new. because there is mention of it
in many old text books and for a
decade at least fyfshing for shad
and herring has been practiced on
the Susquehanna at the head of
Chesapeake Bay.
Loving Tried Sport in 1890.
The success of Tom Loving, a
Baltimorean, during the early 193Os
first drew our attention to it there,
probably because he was the first
to tie fly the fish found attrac-
tive and which later was manufac-
tured and sold under his name.
