MIDDLEBURG, Va, May 13.-
Springbury Farms Traumertan,
from Berryville, seemed to be out to
prove that he intends to keep his
best foot forward for the 1947 sea-
son when he walked away with the
championship at the Foxcroft COM
munity Horse Show held by Fox
croft School near here yesterday.
The 9-year-old son Of Traumer-
Sunburn showed at his best with
Betty Bosley aboard. He defeated q
field Of more than so horses In the
hunter hack, went on to score In the
model and was a member Of the
winning. Blue Ridge Hunt team,
which included his stablemate, Erin
Beau and DR.. A. I. Kay,s Portmaker.
A fourth IN the pairs. teamed with
Erin Bean, brought Traumertans
score to is points.
Making the day a complete success
for Springbury, Erin Beau came
through with good rounds to take
third IN the model and the green
hunters for reserve championship
with 10 points.

to defend their laurels, entries are
pouring in. This always has been
one of the most hotly contested and
colorful skeet matches in the coun-
try and this year in particular
should be worth witnessing.
Most of our present-day fresh
water fishing literature deals with
the trouts, the black BASES and the
muskellunge. Even books on general
fishing treat the panfishes only scam
tily, if at all. Yet these common
species-sunfish, bluegills, perch,
suckers, bullheads and others-are
caught in greater number by more
anglers than all game fish together.
Byron w. Dalrymple, wen-known
angler and writer, has just pub
lished his first book entitled PAN
ish" which every angler should read.
It will give you a new slant on the
sport Of catching the common fishes.

The time has come, SITTER nearly
two decades Of practically ignoring
foreign golf threats, TO take an Ing
vader seriously. The gentleman
from South Africa, Arnold p.
(Bobby) Locke, has proved that the
tales Of his putting prowess are no
myth and for the next five tourna-
meuts, including the so 900 National
CAPITAL Open here june 6-8 and the
National Open in st. Louis, Locke
win be q distinct threat.
Locke's victory IN the Houston
Open last week end was no nuke.
The pros played the longest course
they've hit this season. 1900 yards,
and although Locke Is not q long
hitter he won going away. He was
five strokes ahead Of the field, IL
under par, q dozen strokes better
than Ben Hogan.
The former Air Corps lieutenant Is
eight years late In his visit to the
United States and q crack at the
Open title. Several times open and
amateur champion OF his native
South Africa and New Zealand and
Irish Open titlist, Locke planned q
trip here in 1889, via the Argentine.
Out Of Game for Five Years.
His country went to war. however,
in 80 and from March Of 1910 Locke
did not see q golf tournament until
he competed In the Rome Open in
1945, while stationed In italy. He
made . comeback last year while q
pro in England and led the British
Open for three rounds only to lose
to Sam snead In the fourth. But he
gave Snead a terrific trouncing IN .
series OF 16 matches in South Africa
this spring, winning u.
Locke looks considerably older
than his 20 years. He Is not q styl-1
ist as far as his swing Is concerned,
has q pronounced hook, but he's q
threat from so feet on the greens.
When Locke was the boy wonder
of international golf Walter Hagen
termed him one of the greatest
putters he had ever seen. Locke
has retained the stroke.
Locke is not the modest, retiring
type. He thinks he is pretty good
and can back IT up. He threw the
staid English golfing circles into
dither on a trip In 1889, when he
challenged British Open Champ
Dick Burton to two 72-hole matches
for $500 each and beat him both
times. His next challenge match
victim was Reggie Whitcome, a
go1fing great at the time, and then
Locke asked who's this guy Cotton
and offered to play the great British
golfer for any amount Of money.
But Locke's public challenge went |
unanswered.
Locke's first American tourna-
ment after his hurry-up trip to
the Masters, where he finished In
the money, was In the Carolina |

He Thinks He 5 Good ond IS

IPGA, where he was d special guest.
In q field that included two Of the
young golf stars. Johnny Parker
and skip Alexander, Locke won BY
eight strokes, was Il under par.
The critical Pinehurst goIiing gall
lery said Bobby would do, and
that he might win the National
Open.
After the disamal failure of reign
ing British Open Champ Dick
Burton last year, the so-so per-
formances of Dai Rees and Charley
Ward on the winter tour and the
disappointments Of other foreign
golfers IN the last decade, Locke was
not rated too highly before his visit.
The South Africans series Of
triumpts over Snead were not taken
seriously by the American golfing
fans--until that triumph at Houston.
Reports from Texas said that viz
tually the entire gallery Of 5000
trailed Locke the last two days, and
that his triumph was popular one.
Not Overawed By Scores.
When the writer interviewed Locke
in italy two years ago. Bobby said
his golfing goal was q trip to the
United States. He said he knew We
had great players and that he had
read all about those subpar scores,
uncommon In British Empire golf,
but he wasn't overawed. Locke's
itinerary takes him to Fort Worth.
Philadelphia, Boston and Washing-
ton before the National Open In st.
Louis.
Well bet right now that the COM
fident, be-knickered South African
Is wondering how he'll get that
National Open trophy on the plane
to johannesburg.

old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
which now is the property Of the
United States Parks Service and
long has been in disuse, determined
that a stretch Of some seven miles
extending down from Whites Ferry
could be made into q supervising
pool which would provide clear
water all summer long.
To do this, 1t would be necessary
to divert the waters of Bear Creek
into the canal, repair several breaks,
build couple Of fumes and dams,
brush out the woody growth, etc.
Obtaining the permission Of the
Parks Service, their idea was made
a project Of the Maryland Division
of the Izaak Walton League, finan-
cial support was given by the division
and work has been actively started.
With limited financial support
. job of this sort takes nanpower--
plenty Of it. As this will be, of
course, a public fishing ground, we
feel anglers who are not members
Of the league rightly should provide
some of the manpower. although
the work purely Is voluntary. Some
Saturday or Sunday, some of you
husky bass fishermen could drive out
to Whites Ferry with an axe and a
shovel and lend a hand. Your help
will be appreciated sincerely, you
will have had a part in building
yourself some real small mouth bass
fishing in the years ahead and fur
thermore you'll get a lot Of fun and
good exercise and meet lot OF
fine men and boys.
