-With Bill Leetch
A new Ashing facility for small
boat anglers will open this Friday
at the head of St. Thomas Creek
under the capable management of
Carroll Mat
tingly and
James O’Hara.
It will be called
the “Outboard
Anglers Club.”
St. Thomas
Creek is a little
known, but fa
mous historical
creek, tidal in
nature and
lovely in as
pect. Tor many
years, since the
h u r r icane in
the early 30s
Bill Lceteh.
to fact, Its moutn was aimosi
closed by a sandbar, which ef
fectively screened It from the eyes
of passersby up and down the
Pgtuxent. The old entrance Into
the Patuxent was opened some
three years ago, your scribe being
one of those who dug the begin
ning of the new channel, which
the tide has widened and we be
lieve permanently restored. It is
a perfect small boat anchorage,
abounding with marine life, and
resembling somewhat an Adiron
dac lake with its heavily wooded,
rolling shores. The entrance to
the creek from the Patuxent is
just across and slightly below
Broome Island.
They will have some 25 new
boats, each equipped with new
outboard motors which will rent
for $5 for the flrst six hours and
75c for each additional hour. Bait
will be furnished free, as well as
ample gasoline and each boat will
be fully equipped with safety ap
paratus required by law. To reach
the club, take Route 5 to Waldorf,
turn left at the traffic blinker and
continue straight ahead on the
Cedar Point Road for 28 miles.
You will see their sign on the
road, and turning left can follow
the signs into the club. We’ve
crabbed, dug clams, fished and
duck hunted in this creek for
some years, and believe it an ideal
place for family outings.
Skill in angling, rather than the
size of the fish, again will be
emphasized this season in the
Salt Water Sportsman's anglers
contest which runs from May 15
to November 1, and takes in the
Atlahtic seaboard from the Ca
nadian border to the northern
border of South Carolina. Two
aterling silver trophies, one for
boat fishing and one for beach
fishing, will be awarded the win
ners. Pour small replicas of each
of the major trophies will be pre
sented to the four runners-up in
each classification.
Unlike most fishing tourna
ments, this contest does not de
pend upon numbers of fish taken,
size of flsh or value of prizes
given. The winners are those who
best display skill in the art of
angling in the opinion of the
Judges. Newspaper rod and gun
editors, as in the past, will be
the Judges. No entrance fee is
required and entry blanks are
published in the Salt Water
Sportsman.
\
Prom Southport, N. C., comes
the good news that the bluefish
are present over the shoals in
vast numbers. Most of theta are
of good size and they are striking
so fiercely that few are lost by
anglers. This is encouraging to
say the least, but well believe
they’re in the Chesapeake whep
we see them, which .of course,
will be later on. if at all.

By Merrell Whittlesey
Congressional Country Club
members have been warned
not to be alarmed perchance
they see a group of mothers
shagging
practice balls
on the club
range late in
July. Because
t h a t’s the
time, for the
United States
Golf Associ
ation’s Na
tional Jun
ior tourna
ment there
and some of
of those kids
will put their
moms to
work.
Marred Whittlewr.
Frank Emmet, who with
Chairman Frank McArdle has
drawn up a lengthy letter
of instruction for ths kids in
their week-long stay here, at
tended last year’s national
Junior at Ann Arbor. He was
telling about one of the young
sters who walked to the
practice tee, lugging a heavy
sack of practice pellets, with
his mother trailing behind,
apparently to» watch.
But the youngsters dumped the
balls, handed the bag to his
mother and said “okay, Ma,
get out there about 100 yards.
I’ll start with an eight iron.’'
And sure enough the matronly
woman trotted out to pick up
her son’s practice shots.
This national tournament for
boys under 18 is not restricted
to the sons of the well-to-do.
Its open to any youngster
that can pass his sectional
qualifying rounds, and while
some will arrive by plane and
train, some will arrive (they
hope) by a more original means
of transportation—the thumb.
Caddies are not mandatory,
simply because some of the
kids will not be able to afford
them. The committee has
worked all the angles to cut
the costs and make the event
open to any youngster with the
urge to play. Georgetown
University came through with
a very reasonable rate for
meals and lodging. Hotel ac
commodations are being ar
ranged for the parents, and of
the 128 youngsters that qual
ify at least one-third will be
accompanied by their mother*
and fathers.
This probably will be the only
trip of a lifetime to Washington
for most of the youngsters and
the Entertainment Committee,
headed by Bobby Brownell and
Walter Tuckerman, has ar
ranged some fast but instructive
tours. The morning of the first
practice day the kids will’ be
taken in buses to the FBI and
the House and Senate. Later in
the week a trip to Quantico is
planned. ‘
Congressional, of course, can
not turn its clubhouse over to
128 teen-age boys in the man
ner it could for any other
national championship, but the
host club is making every effort
to give the youngsters a big
week. It will give the kids a
special luncheon rate, give them
rooms to change clothes and
store their clubs, swimming
privileges, a snack bar, etc. The
host club is bending over back
wards. in fact, because the
USGA said the youngsters are
not to enter the clubhouse.
On Tuesday, July 26, the
night before the first round of
match play, Fielding Wallace,
president of the USGA, will
request the youngsters to at
tend a meeting of Copley
Loi^nge in Georgetown for a
session with the rules. Name
professionals and other officials
of the USGA will be on hand
to brief the boys on the
etiquette of the game, as it
will be the major tournament
for many.
The committee working on
The Star's $15,000 Open tour
nament July 1t4 at Prince
Georges thought it had troubles
until it heard of the compli
cations connected with catering
to 128 junior golfers under 18.
They’re even considering
numbering the kids at Con
gressional—not particularly for
identification as at Prince
Georges—but in case any of
them get lost.
