War Blocks Atlantic Tuno Tournament;
No Run Of Large Spot Seems Likely

The fifth annual Atlantic tuna
tournament scheduled for this week
was given up reluctantly only at the
last minute. A combination OF un-
favorable conditions. of which the
one-mile offshore regulation Of the
Coast Guard was the most impor-
tant, made it impossible.
In many sections of New Jersey
fishing boats and shippers are as
difficult to find as in our Chesapeake
Bay area. Shippers filling in an
early spring slack period by working
in shipyards and at naval installa-
tions were caught by the order
freezing them in their jobs.
Some shippers still find 1t possible
to run on Sundays, but even that
will not continue another season,
for so few trips would not pay for
the spring overhauling. So reserva-
tions now must be made as much as
a week or 10 days in advance and
at advanced prices.
Large Spot Missing.
The run of large spot, which some
time back apparently was on the

two seasons of plenty, 1t looks as

Ba|ata for COVERING
Reaching Category
OF War Material
Production Boord Makes
Motion Toward Tie-Up
Of Durable Gum
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Ominous hints that the day may
come when even reprocessed golf
balls no longer will be available for
Joe Slugger and his sister are COM
ing from the ball manufacturers
nowadays, and hint Is out that re-
processed spheres, now coming on
the market in bulky quantity, may
be out next year. Drat the Jap,
anyhow, for if the hints are true
even the worst golf ball may become
a priceless nugget.
The whole thing hinges around
balata. and the ability of the golf
ball trade to get ample quantities
of this material from which the
cover of your golf ball is made. 1t
isn't exactly rubber, but 1t is SIM
liar to that precious gum, and it
may come from trees in Central
America. Balata. in addition to
use as a cover for golf balls. also is
used for covering telephone and
cable wires. and for other indus
trial purposes.
Saw Answer to Situation.
Months ago when some bright
brain discovered that old golf balls
could be stripped of their cut covers,
reprocessed and covered with new,
shiny coat of balata the golf in
dustry perked up and said, Here is
the answer to the golf ball situa-
ton. The supply of old balls is in
exhaustible and we have enough
cover material (balata) to outlast
two wars"
1t seemed that golf, as far as
the supply of golf balls was con-
cerned was all set for any war,
Notwithstanding the Japs. Optlmis-
tic statements that plenty OF balata
was available were put out and
every one was happy.
But now it seems that the ON
nipotent War Production Board has
made gestures about freezing this
balata supply 1t hasn't yet been
done, but at least two manufactur-
ing outfits which have made re-
processed golf balls have warned
the pros they are stopping this
operation. The reason? They
can't get balata.
Second hand Balls Good.
II balata is frozen and golf ball
reprocessing is stopped for this rea-
son any kind of an old golf ball i'm
mediately will become priceless. al
though one enterprising Washing
ton gent is making pretty good
living by selling used balls in rea-
sonably good condition. He gets
them from caddies, and he sells
them to some of the pros for re-
sale. The price is about $3.50 8
dozen, against s9-a-dozen price
for the best grade of reprocesseo
balls.
There's no immediate reason fol
gloom on the golf ball situation, but
it may be that balata will become
the bottleneck in future production
Meanwhile the linksmen OF the land
will keep on batting the ball around
hoping for the scoring break they
seldom get with any kind OF goh
hall.
Evening star., 1942-08-18

George Diffenbaugh, the long
hitting little Kenwood pro, is wor-
ried about the golf club situation.
If you didn't know about Georges
prediction for buying new and
shiny clubs you wouldn't realize
that George, among the pros around
town, is the star customer of the
golf manufacturers. Other pros
may get along with old and bat
tered sets of woods and irons, but
not George. Four or five times
year. depending on how he feels
about it, he gets himself new set
of wooden clubs, and he changes
his irons two or three times a year.
OF course, he gets em at the pro
price. which is somewhat under the
list price to the amateur customer,
but George makes a profit just the
same. He finds no trouble disposing
of the new gadgets with which he
accomplishes his links miracles.
But now no more new golf clubs
are being made. The last gasp of
the golf club manufacturing industry
will come at the end of this month,
when few manufacturers who have
obtained extensions finally will stop
making clubs. And George won't
be able to get new set OF clubs
every two or three months. Guess
I'll have to worry along with three
or four old sets, changing them off
and on from time to time" grinned
George. And I guess it won't do
me any harm to use a set more
than a few months. Maybe I'll get
used to one set and stick by it.
And besides 1t won't be SO expen-
sive."
Cox Uses Three Year-Old Set.
In contrast to Diffenbaugh Is
Witty Cox. the Maryland Open
champ. Witty today is using a SET
of irons three years old. His driver
a battered affair with deep face, is
four years or more old When Coz
