! The main battle tomorrow over
the Columbia Country Clubs lush
! green fairWayS in the sectional quail
flying rounds for the National Open
/ championship will be to find out
who will have to go to the tourna-
ment at Fort Worth, Tex, next
month. 1t is an open secret that the
pro golfers of this sector, few of
whom have real chance at the big
bauble OF pro golf, have passed up
the 194l National with something
akin to genuine enthusiasm.
Here are few of the top pros of
this sector who have not entered the
36-hole sectional tests: Witty Cox
Of Congressional, Al Treder of
Manor, Ralph Beach and John and
Jim Flattery of Baltimore, Chandler
Harper Of Portsmouth, Va; Al Jami-
son of Bradley Hills. Dave Thomson
of Washington, Allan Burton of
Army Navy and Dan Burton of
Quantico. The reason? The lengthy
and expensive jaunt from Washing
ton to Fort Worth and back. The
pros estimate to play in the tourney
/ in the manner in which they are
( accustomed would cost them around
$500. Maybe more And take at
least full week Of time at spot
where their business season is at its
height. You may get the idea that
there will be an air of futility about
the whole thing.
L, S, G. A. Is BIampIpSs
So this year, instead of all the
lads being keen to go, those who
fail to qualify say they'll be Just as
happy If they don't make it. But the
United States Golf Association isn't
to blame. The national golf body
has to spread its major tournaments
around, and this one happens to be
the first ever scheduled for Texas.
Fred Mcleod. the little Columbia
mentor, automatically qualified by
reason Of his former champion
status, says the gent who carves out
36 holes in 143 or 144 can sit back
and wait for the rest of the parade
to roll in, confident he will win one
of the four spots allotted to this sec
tor in tomorroW's sectional test. Fred
usually is right about these things.
He has played Columbia under all
conditions, has speaking acquaint-
ance with every putting green roll,
and knows his averages.
Here's a guess as to the four men
who will win the spots in the Open;
Robert A. Cruickshank of Richmond,
the eminent Scot, who twice has
been runnerup in the National; Cliff
Spencer of East Potomac Park,
present Maryland champ, who has
won two major sectional titles at
Columbia over the last two years.
and has demonstrated a liking for
the course; Al Houghton, the silver
haired Beaver Dam mentor, and Dis
trict Open champ, the hottest pro
around town right now; Rut Coffey,
the smiling, chunky little Middle
Atlantic P. G. A. champion.
Dark horses to win spots could
include Lew Worsham of Burning
Tree; Leo Walper, the driving range
pro from Bethesda, Md; Levi Yoder
OF Annapolis Roads, and Bob Bar
nett of Chevy Chase or George Diff
fenbaugh of KenWood.
Amateurs Along for Ride.
You can toss the five amateurs
out. Even Ralph Bogart, the big

Demaret-His principal recon-

ability to play fine shots off hard

the fact that he has been working

Shipping Outlook
For Foes OF Axis
Seen as Encouraging
U. S. Progress Pictured
BY Commerce Writer as
Coming Over Losses

Though the shipping outlook Is
definitely encouraging" the con-
struction program must be pursued
with "unmitigated zeal" if it is to
achieve final victory for the.democ-
racies, the Commerce Department
declared today. Writing in the cur
rent issue of Foreign Commerce
Weekly, Albert E. Sanderson ex-
pressed the view that the progress
already made by the United States
in ship construction assures a steady
improvement IN the shipping Situa
ticn "if war losses are maintained
at recent low levels or still further
reduced
From September, 1899. through
August, 1941, British, allied and
neutral merchant marine war losses
totaled 7,442,00O tons. according to
Mr.. Sanderson's estimates. Of this
total, 4689 900 tons represented
British losses. In July and August,
destruction of shipping was sharply
reduced, tending toward balance
in favor of new construction, con-
sidering the output of the United
States and the British Empire COM
bined'
Larger Than in 1914.
AT the outset of the present wap
in Europe, the United States had
q Y,,11p1, 1orCe,. ,1,aroloo,, Aaot Ik,o,,
in 1914" Mr.. Sanderson pointed out.
This has proved invaluable in
bridging the interval required to
expand shipbuilding facilities and
gain momentum in new construc-
ton.
Thus, despite the tremendous
drain upon shipping resources, the
a-going feet on the United States
commercial register at the middle of
this year totaled 6,841 900 gross tons.
This figure is less by 1,293,000 tons,
or Is per cent, than that of record
at the middle of 1899, but the situa-
ton is not so unfavorable as it ap-
pears on its face.
Active Fleet Gains.
I'm contrast to the implication
that there was reduction in the
active fleet there was in fact an
increase amounting to 100000 gross
tons. or 4 per cent. The smaller ton
mage on the register, notwithstand-
ing additions by new construction,
IS accounted for by the transfer of
vessels to the Army and Navy and
the disposition of the bulk of the
laid-up fleet of 1.736,O00 gross tons
to British, Panamanian and other
registries, mainly to offset war
losses"
AT the end of June, the tonnage
Of United States flag vessels en-
gagged in foreign trade was 721.0OO
greater than in June. 1899, lust
before the outbreak of the Euro
