BALLSTON, Va, March 9.-Wash-
ington-Lee High School has been
forced to cancel its track schedule
for the year, and will be forced to
move its base ball activity away from
school because the athletic field has
been torn up by C. w. A. workers en-

and grandstand.
The grandstand will seat $500
while the track will be one Of the
finest in Northern Virginia.

school would have to forego base bal

In the opening contest of a
play-off series with Boys Club
of Washington, last night on
the latter's court, the Merricks
won by "a to 8.
At the conclusion of the regular
schedule of the tournament, sponsored
by The Star. each club had won six
games and lost one, but the Merricks'
performances on the whole were bet
ter than B. c. WIS. So it was last
night
BY the end of the first half, B. c. w.
had scored only three points, but had
managed to make the going tough
also for its opponent. In the second
half, however, the Merricks broke
down the B. c. w. defense from time
to time to roll up convincing margin,
LassieS leading the way. Throughout
the entire game the vanquished team
was able to register only two field
goals as against 10 for the victors.
Second Game Postponed.
TINE next game, originally slated
for tomorrow night. has been
postponed to either next Monday
Or Tuesday, depending on the schedule
OF the A. A. U. tournament in which
both are entered.
Though last nights score was de-
cisive, the B. c. w. lads seemed not
strongly discouraged. They were
forced to come from behind several
times to stay in the title chase and are
ready to fight another uphill battle,

~ ENWOOD GOLF AND
X COUNTRY CLUB will
n stage its National Capital
4 y open golf championship,
major professional event of the
year hereabout, between May Is
and June l. If the club is un-
able to arrange satisfactory
dates between May IS and June
! the tournament will be held
in October.
This decision has been arrived at
satisfactory weather conditions which
have prevailed during the playing OF
the three previous Journeys.
Kenwood officers, who have had
considerable success in the events held
during 1881, 1882 and 1888, have
made up their minds that the Ma
tional Capital open, being an accepted
fixture on the professional schedule,
now can stand on its own feet with
out the added inducement of a tour
nament at PinehurSt, or some golf
center near Washington, and deserves
q good entry list either in May or in
October.
Size of Purse Undecided.
THEY prefer the May date, but If
that cannot be obtained, will
take a date in October, when
weather conditions are usually at
their best for golf affairs around the
Capital. The size of the purse has
not yet been decided, but it probably
will be either $4,000 or S2.5OO. Paul
Runyan, the mighty mite from West
chester County, N. Y, won the event
last November with 81 hole total
of 211.
Meanwhile it appears more than
likely that Washington will be repre-
sented by only one player in the
Augusta National Golf Club tourney
two weeks hence, in which Bobby
Jones is to make his first competitive
start In more than three and one-half
years. Fred Mcleod of Columbia
and AL Houghton of Kenwood, all
have received invitations to play in
the tourney which starts on March
R2. but Mcleod is the only one who
has definitely made up his mind to
play. Roland Mackenzie has decided
not to compete, for the tournament
comes at a time when Roland will be
busy breaking into his new profess
siona1 post at Congressional, and
when he will be getting acquainted
with many of his club members. He
does not feel that he should leave
his new post at such a time.
Mcleod Going to Augusta.
TOUGHTON has played so little
i golf that he feels he would not
be able to make q sufficiently
good showing in the tourney to justify
his absence from the Kenwood Club
for a week and the expense incurred
In competing. But Freddie Mcleod
who has not played in many tourna-
ments in recent years, and who has
not had q vacation for many months
Is planning the trip, to leave Wash
ington on March 10, arriving at Au-
gusta on the following day. Fred is
playing very we'll just now and may
place well up in the Augusta tourney
which will find some 80 or 40 of the
Nations leading shotmakers vying for
q slice of the $4,000 prize dough. Nc
Leod does not intend to play in the
Charleston tournament next week, nor
does Houghton, unless the Kenwood
pro decides to go to Augusta. In that
case Houghton will work his game
back into condition by few days of
golf at Charleston.
Competing against men who have
played the Florida circuit for more
than month, the Washington pros
will be at a disadvantage.

AIR LINES
MAY MERGE

In the wake of disclosures that
negotiations had neared compile
ton for the sale of Eastern Air
Lines, Inc, a subsidiary Of North
American Aviation. which is a
General Motors affiliate, to the
National Aviation Corporation, it
has developed that other changes
were imminent in the setup of the
aviation interests connected with
General Motors.
Although Ernest R. Breech,
president of North American Avi-
alton, is on the Pacific Coast,
that corporation. now a holding
concern, will probably be merged
into a single unit with two of its
bsidia ies-TWA, Inc, and
Western Air Express-it was said
in reliable quarters.
Under the temporary air mail
legislation, transport companies
carrying mail must be divorced
from manufacturing companies.
1t was indicated that North
American, should it dispose of any
other aviation interests, would
probably retain its transport
rather than manufacturing units,
the principal one OF the latter
being the General Aviation Cor
poration of Dundalk, Md.
The reason advanced for the
plan to sell Eastern Air was that,
under the present law, only one
primary" mail contract may be
held by a single operator. Both
the TWA transcontinental line
and the Atlantic Coast Line from
Newark to Miami, however, are
considered by the Post Office De-
partment as primary"

OIL MEN STUDY
DISTRESS GAS

The problem Of distress gasoline
will be leading topic at the meet
ing of the executive committee OF
the American Petroleum Institute
in New York on August Is, 1t is
learned.
No definite plan has been drawn
up to meet the situation, SO far
as could be learned, but there is
little that the more important
companies could do except to pur-
chase such gasoline on the basis
of their refinery output.
Under an agreement reached be-
tween leaders of the industry and
Secretary Ickes some months ago
provision was made for the rails
ing of a pool of $10,000,O0O for
such a purpose. Discussion at the
meeting, it is thought, will center
about the means of using this
fund.
Various members of the plan
ming and coordination commit
tee of the industry are now here
working on plans for the pur-
chase of cargoes of distress gaso-
line now available on the Gulf
Coast. There are said to be seven
or eight such cargoes overhanging
the markets there.
