Gas Rotioning Yet to Cut Down
Golf Play at Country Clubs

will carry the bulk of the links Gus
toners, and wherever possible, golf
ers will double up, one man using
his car one day and his partner
using his car another day to pick
up foursome. More games will be
made up by phone, and more use
will be made of pooling of transpor-
tation, but the men and women who
play country club golf will get to
their clubs in one way or another.
1t happens to be the first time
that country clubs have been hit by
a real transportation problem, and
those clubs which are on public bus
or car lines are the lucky ones. But
the others will pull through, and the
sour faced gents who predicted COL
lapse of country club golf when gas
rationing started will be proven
wrong.

Willie Herbert Seeded
No. ] Among Ronking

the history of the event, will seek
the singles crown in The Stars City
of Washington tennis tournament
for women opening tomorrow after
noon at 2 on the Reservoir courts
at Sixteenth and Kennedy streets
NV.
Virtually everybody who is any,
body in the net game Is in the field,
including Willie Herbert, who made
up her mind at the last moment.
Mrs. Herbert's decision to play was
influenced by the fact that it is the
only local major tournament she has
not won.
Champion Not to Defend.
Mrs. Herbert, reported at the peak
OF her game although she has not
been playing as much as usual,
was seeded No. l. followed by Sara
Moore, Ena Dellinger and Eleanor
Fishburn. They are ranked first,
fourth, fifth and seventh, respec-
lively, in the city.
Mary Coots Belin, last years win
ner, will not defend her title, a
disappointment to Mrs. Herbert, who
lost to her in three-set final and
had hoped for a return match.
Mrs. Herbert, however, took the
District women's crown, while Sara
Moore whipped a star -fecked field
in the Women's League tournament.
First women's tournament of the
season and usually one of the best,
the City of Washington this time
embraces many new faces, bad
omen for form players. The more

National Match Play
Golf Urged as War
Relief Fund Help
Doerer Would Have 48
States to Send Champs
Here for Final Round

Golf could reach down In the pro-
motion grab bag and come up with
a real contribution to war relief
by staging a national handicap
match play championship, says
Tommy Doerer, jr., Bradley Hills
manager. Doerer is the gent who
promoted several successful tourna-
ments on the public courses when
he was at East Potomac Park.
Golf could make q real contri-
button to war relief by staging a
Nation-w tournament at handi-
cap match play, with the final
round to be held here in Washing
ton," said Doerer. And with the
President to present the prizes to
the victors.
Each State or city could hold Sec
tional tournaments out of which
would come 48 State champions,
whose expenses to Washington
would be paid by State or city or
gani1ations. The 48 f1nalists could
play at handicap match play over
a Washington course, but each
would receive replica Of the big
cup symbolizing his State champion
ship. Perhaps 1t could be arranged
to have the President present the
prizes to the winners.
1T each contestant land think
a million men would start) would
pay a 81 entry fee and 81 for each
match play round in the champion
ship you'd see some real money
raised. Golf could step away out
ahead Of the other sports with such
a contribution as this, the event to
run over several months.
Note to Ray Mccarthy, sports
director for Army emergency relief
Doerer has the plans all set up
for a tournament along this line
and will gladly cooperate in any
way to put it over.

Eddie Johnston Seen
As Possibly Ace Of
Old Line Golfers
Adds State Title to Goin
Cleon Sweep Of Junior
Honor in Section
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

A lot Of golfing folks are wonder
ing today whether Eddie Johnston,
the budding young accountant from
the Country Club Of Maryland.
isn't the best amateur in the State
of Maryland.
Eddie had decision to make dur
ing the week Of June "a. He had
to decide whether to play In the
national intercollegiate champion
ship in his last eligible year. or stay
home to play for the Old Line State
title. He chose the intercollegiate,
where he did all right, although he
didn't go to the final. And big Bob
Albertus won the State amateur
championship. licking Eddie Meyer
on the 18th hole.
Meanwhile Johnston, the lad who
didn't play for the State title, might
have won 1t had he remained at
home. Or so a lot of people feel
who have watched this 2o-year -old
youngster march through the junior
championships in this territory,
knocking them off one by one.
Wins Maryland Crown.
Latest junior crown to fall to
Johnston was the Maryland title,
which he won late yesterday in a
9-hole playoff against defending
Champion Bill Cassidy. Previously
Eddie had won the Middle Atlantic
at Congressional and the Mary
land junior open at Baltimore, lick
ing some good youngsters in the
process of grabbing both titles. He
didn't have the top opposition yes
terday at Argyle, but it wasn't bad.
Missing, for instance, were Joe
Barse, the District junior champ,
and Art Myer. the schoolboy title
holder. There were others who
passed up the tourney, but these
will do.
Eddie and Cassidy tied for the
title over the regulation 18-hole
route, both with three-over-par 75s.
Cassidy, making brave bid to re-
tain his title, canned a 15-footer for
the tieing 4 on the eighteenth, where
Johnston had to hole a 4-footer for
the tie. In the playoff, ordered by
Tournament Chairman Keilty to
prevent another trip to Washington
by the new champ, 1t was all john
ston. Eddie was under par at the
sixth, went over at the seventh, and
finished with a level par SO. The
pace was too fast for Cassidy, who
took 40 for the playoh nine, and was
pulling for Eddie at the end.
Sweeps Junior Titles.
So Johnston now has made clean
sweep Of all the Junior titles for
which he is eligible in Maryland and
the Middle Atlantic section. The
way the boy plays many people are
wondering If he isn't the top anna
teur in the State, junior or senior.
He may well be, but Bob Albertus Is
no setup. He proved his right to the
top spot this year by pounding out
a brace Of TBS in the State open
championship last Tuesday. to lead
Johnston by two shots. That isn't
much margin in 36 holes.
Eddie Brylawski, the up-and1com-
ing Woodmont junior, finished third,
taking on the last hole when q
par 4 would have tossed him into q
triple tie. Brylawsd won the l6-
year division with his rs, and Bill
Mcdaniel Of Argyle won the l5-year-
old class with 81.

The new gasoline restrictions
haven't yet cut down on play at the
private golf clubs around town, but
a couple of week ends hence will
tell the story of whether country
club golf, whose lifeblood is trans
portation, will be able to survive.
-Four gallons of gasoline is little
enough for a man who would like
to exercise at club a couple of
times each week, but obviously men,
bers Of country clubs are in the
same boat as any one else.
But when you consider that it
takes more than two gallons of gas

No Favorite Has Won
Event Since 1896;
NIsab a Puzzle
Handlers Yet to Decide
Whether to Sturt Him;
Dozen May Compete
BY CHARLES DUNKLEY,


CHICAGO, July 24-Shut Out
the big, handsome colt owned by
Mrs. Payne Whitney of New York
may clinch the 3-year- turf
championship in the $4,000 Airing
ton Classic tomorrow.
Winner of the Kentucky Derby,
the Belmont Stakes and pair Of
less important events, the son of
Equipoise, if victorious, can snatch
the title that went to long-tailed
Whirlaway last year.
Indications today were that Shut
Out would go to the post lopsided
favorite in a field of possibly 10 or
IL, with With Regards and Valdina
Orphan as second choices.
Shut Out, however, faces terrific
jinx. for no favorite has won the
Classic since Granville galloped to
victory in 1885, Johnstown, Bimelech
and Whirlaway failed in three con-
secutive years.
Arcaro Aboard Shut Out.
Shut Out will be ridden by Eddie
Arcaro and is razor sharp for the
mile-and-a quarter test. He re-
vealed that he was ready when he
stepped the distance in 2:05s5 han
dily before leaving Belmont Park.
The puzzling possibility in the
classic was Albert Sabath's Alsab.
Although the l94l juvenile worked
6 furlongs in liza, SABBATH and
Trainer Sarge Swenke have not yet
made up their minds whether Alsab
will go to the post. The colt was
thrown out of training a month ago
by splint, and has been slowly
brought back to some semblance OF
racing form.
If Alsab doesn't start, the re-
mainder of the field is expected to
be composed of Bless Me, owned by
Col e R. Bradley of Lexington, KY;
the Milky War Farms Dogpatch,
Anti Climax, the entry OF Hal Price
Headley; Kings Abbey, entry OF
Louis B. Mayer; Mrs. E. A. Augustus
Trelawney, Aleterp, owned by A. c.
Ernst, and Rounders, an entry with
valdina Orphan, owned by w. E.
Woodward.
With Regards Is Swift.
With Regards, owned by T. D.
Grimes, nosed out Valdina Orphan
In the 1-mile classic trial Wednes-
day in the fast time OF 1855, and
seems to have recovered from the
rheumatism which affected him
after the Kentucky Derby.
If the track turns muddy Shut
Out no doubt will be scratched.
In checking over the list OF long
shots the fans who risk their hard
earned cash will be considering
Kings Abbey, Bless Me, Dogpatch
and Anti-C Climax. Kings Abbey, an
Australian importation, has come
up to his best form in the last two
weeks, winning two sparkling races
at Arlington, and may go on to
brilliant effort in the classic.
