at night and are to be found in
shoal waters. Many are running to
good size and as usual in the early
season seem to prefer blood worms
as bait, although shrimp also are
acceptable. Under these, conditions,
the hardhead is a very shy fish.
One must get the bait as far away
from the boat as possible and fish
as quietly as possible. But when
the fish does take hold, the angler
is in for a real battle.
Maryland's Commission of Game
and Inland Fish has closed the
coming season on wild turkey in
Garrett County, Md., and elsewhere
limits the season from November 15
to 30, inclusive. This is due to the
dwindling number' of wild turkey
and is a much needed restriction.
With news of Senator Wilson's
bill to put striped bass under Fed
eral regulation comes report of the
passage of a bass bill by the Legis
lature in New Jersey. The measure
makes striped* bass a sport fish by
setting the season In which it may
be -taken from Jersey waters be
tween April 1 and November 30, im
posing a 10-a-day bag limit, an 18
inch over-all length limit and mak
ing it illegal to take it by any other
method than by hook and line.
We’re wondering just how long it
is going to take Maryland and Vir
ginia to see the handwriting on the
wall and get together on some sane
program for protecting stripers in
their spawning waters. The rock
fish situation in Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries long has been
disgraceful,

Pavone-Kline Hill Duel
Due in G. W. High's
Tilt With Eastern
Scholastic pitching at its best is
expected tomorrow when Tommy1
Pavone, George Washington High
School's 300-pound left-hander, pits
his wares against Eastern's Eddie
Kline.
As Rambler Coach Rolland Lund
puts It, “G. W. will be out for our
scalpe” and a quick look at the
record bills this game as one of
the top encounters of the season.
Eastern, unbeaten in seven games,
recently nipped George Washing
ton, 2-1, and in that game Kline
held the Presidents to one hit while
his team was gathering a meager
three from Bobby Hooker.
Pavone, 15-year-old fast-ball ar
tist who hurled American Legion
ball last summer, held St. John's to
two hits and Episcopal to two in
chalking up victories in his only
starts this season. Kline also lim
ited Roosevelt High to two safeties
while fanning 14, and Kline has a
victory over Anacostia in the Wash
ington public high series for a record
of three wins against no defeats.
Gonxaga Tackling G. W.
George Washington opened the
season by playing Central to a 5-5
tie in a game halted by darkness,
lost its next game to Eastern and
then went on to win the next seven
in a row, four by shutouts. It lost
last week to Washington-Lee in a
Northern Virginia class A tilt.
Today the Presidents were slated
to be hosts to Gonzaga in a game
postponed yesterday because of the
weather, while Washington-Lee and
Fairfax play tonight under the
lights at Fairfax at 8 o'clock. The
Generals lead the Northern Virginia
race with two victories and no de
feats, while the Presidents have
won one and last one, and Fairfax
has lost two. The league champion
will meet the winners of the Eastern.
Central and Western loops in the
State championship tourney at
Richmond May 21 and 22.
While George Washington battles
Eastern tomorrow, Washington-Lee
invades Episcopal and Devitt goes
to Central.
Other Engagements Today.
Other tilts on today's schedule
find Bethesda at Georgetown Prep,
Greenbelt at Hyattsville and Bla
densburg at Maryland Park in
Prince Georges class A games; Marl
boro at Gwynn Park and Surratts
ville at Oxon Hill In Prince Georges
class B tilts; Roosevelt at Bullis, St.
Alban's at Landon in the IAC tilt,
St. John's at Western. Mount

Other games rained out yesterday
included Western at Devitt. Fairfax

GREEN
By Merrell Whittlesey
In a year when it appeared there
would be considerable doubt as to
who would be recognized as the best
junior golfer In the Nation, the
united States
Golf Association
has put its first
Junior tourna
ment on a big
time scale and
patterned it
after the major
national cham
pionships.
Year by year,
j u n i or tourna
ments of a na
tional scope have
bid for the grow
ing golfers. First
the Hearst Jun
ior, then the Na
Merreli Whittlesey.
uonai uaaaie cnampionsnip ana
last year the Junior Chamber of
Commerce National Junior. Mar
vin (Bubby) Worsham competed in
all three tournaments last year, one
in Peoria, one in Columbus, Ohio,
and a third in California. The pic
ture became a bit confusing.
The USGA is not bending over
backward to entice the junior golf
ers. Only boys who have not reached
their 18th birthday by August 14
will be eligible, and the USGA is
going to be strict as to who pays
the freight, if the boys are unable.
The entry fee will be higher than
the others and although all junior
amateurs regardless of club affilia
tion will be eligible, the number of
berths will be limited.
But the USGA winner probably
will be recognized as the junior
champion of the country. It has the
backing of all the major golf asso
ciations for its championship.
Locally, Dr. R. A. Keilty, USGA
representative in this section and
secretary of the Middle Atlantic
Golf Association, will conduct the
sectional trials with Prank Emmet
the general chairman. The District
and Maryland Golf Associations will
assist.
The qualifying round for Mary
land, Virginia and District young
sters will be held July 28 at Co
lumbia Country Club at 18 holes.
Public links players and sons of
club members will be eligible. The
number of places will depend upon
the number of entries.
The tournament will be held at
Ann Artxir, Michigan, August 11-14.
with the University of Michigan as
host. The USGA will handle the
entries with the deadline to be an
nounced.
A second appeal from Dr. Keilty
was a request for the amateur golf
ers of the Middle Atlantic section \
to set aside the week end of June 3
4-5 for the 45th annual Middle At
lantic Amateur championship at
the Five Farms course of the Balti- j
more Country Club.
The tournament handout specifies]
that the event is open to members;
of member clubs of the Middle At-1
lantic Association, and to especially
invited guests.
With the local golf picture set
tling down to a semblance of nor
malcy after the second annual ap
pearance of the Nation's golf greats
at Prince Georges, Indian Spring
Country Club is anxious to call
attention to the Invitation tourna
ment there May 19-20-21.
The championship flight and five
higher flights will qualify for match
play and the host club members
promise one of the best fields in
years for an invitation tournament.
Skip Alexander received what the
boys would term a "good press”
when he won the National Capital
Open on Sunday, but Skip probably
can remember a visit to Washington

In the late 1930s when his notices
were not complimentary.
It was t he occasion of the George -
town-Duke golf match when both
universities had good golf teams.
Alexander played the top spot for
Duke and the late Johnny Burke
was Georgetown's captain. Alex-j
ander beat Burke, but it took him
almost six hours to do it in a match
still recalled by a number who saw
it. In those days, Alexander was
the world’s slowest player.

'Pappy' Hawes,
Freshman at 33,
Star for V. P. /.
By th« Associated Pr#n
RICHMOND. Va„ May 4 —Meet
John (Pappy) Hawes.
Hawes is the catcher on Vir
ginia Tech's 1948 baseball team
that today was resting in second
place in the State collegiate
standings with a record of six
victories and two defeats. Hes
33 years old—a freshman.
Hawes, an ex-soldier from
Alexandria, is leading the Gob
blers in runs batted in with 13, j
and in batting with a fat <aver- I
age of .357, He has an accurate
throwing arm. hasn't had a
stolen base charged against him.
And he hasn't been charged with !
a passed ball.
Pappy broke into the Virginia
Tech lineup when Tom Kennedy, !
regular catcher, suffered an in- j
jured foot in the Gobblers' second !
encounter of the season at Wof- ;
ford. He's been there most of
tne time since.
The Gobblers were trailing the
State collegiate-leading Virginia
Cavaliers and William and Mary s
Indians, but they were certainly
proud of Hawes. His biggest
accomplishment this season prob
ably came in the Gobblers’ 10-9
loss April 23 to Virginia. In the
game with the Cavaliers, Hawes
cracked a single and a home run
to drive in five runs.
Hawes played sandlot ball with
the Heurich Brewers in Wash
ington before entering the Army
in 1942.
Infield Whistles as It Works
To Help Buc Hurlers' Morale
By th« Associated Press
PITTSBURGH, May 4.—Base
ball this year promises Pitts
burgh Pirate fans thrills aplenty
—from an lnfleld trio which
whistles while it works.
The musical note has been in
jected by Frankie Gustine, Ed
Stevens and Danny Murtaugh.
They hold down third, first and
second base, respectively.
The whistlers use this particu
lar form of noise making to aug
ment the time-honored line of
chatter sprayed over a diamond
to bolster a pitcher's morale.
Shortstop San Rojek isn’t
much of a whistler. Monty Bas
gall, who is contesting with Mur
taugh for the second-base
chore, isn’t either.
They're tone deaf, the 30-year
old Murtaugh says.
Murtaugh's whistling is the
most musical. It's a fair take
off of a bird's trill. Twenty
three-year-old Stevens' shrilling
sound* like a blood relative of a
robust wolf call. Gustine just
unlooses a plain old whistle.
It’s not rare for ball players to
vent their appreciation in the old
American style by whistling, but,
so much tooting from one infield
is a bit unusual.
The Bucco lip doodlers all
claim the habit dates back to
knee-pants days.
All three insist a good loud
whistle does more for a pitcher
than a whole chorus of chatter.
"It saves wear and tear on the
larynx, too," chuckled Stevens.
“Besides, you get in a rut if
you keep up that talking. You
find yourself saying the same
thing over and over again.”
“It (the whistling) shows a
pitcher .the boys are pulling for
him,” interjected Mel Queen, a
hurler. “You get so you don't
notice that chatter behind you
until a whistle reminds you the
boys are back there.”
Aside from morale purposes,
Stevens. Gustine and Murtaugh
all have something to whistle
about. Their work afield and at
bat to date has the fans tooting !
with them. 1
