schooIboys Lay Aside
Enough Fuel to PIoy
In Title Contest
BY WALTER McCALLUM.

Pro golfers stage their first sched-
uled amateur-pro affair of the cur
rent season Monday at Congress
sional and the boys aren't too happy
about it. Most OF the pros have
been before gas-rationing boards
and are waving B-3 cards, but even
that quasi Liberal allotment of gaso-
line won't take a heavy automobile
far enough for run away out in
the country. There isn't any doubt
that the tournament problem, for
both pro and amateur golfers, is
going to be a serious one, with this
gasoline ration business as a new
and 50 far untried factor. For even
. B-3 card, emitting its holder to
around 8 gallons of gasoline week,
won't permit much other than
routine travel.
Trips to Baltimore, Richmond
and those other pleasant places the
boys went to In other years are out.
1t took the better part Of 10 gallons
OF gas to get to one Of those Balti-
more clubs, and the Washington
pros are not willing to spend their
mileage that way. So, insofar as
Washington participation in Balti-
more Journeys is concerned. the pros
already have forgotten 1t. The same
thing goes for participation in
Washington Journeys by Baltimore
pros.
Even the schoolboys, with only a
few more matches to play, are get
ting worried about the gas situation.
For all practical purposes the win
ner of the Washington team cham
pionship has been decided, and only
Wilson and Anacostia figure in the
second-place scrap. It would cause
no great hardship If the rest of the
team championship between the
high and prep school outfits was
called of.
But the lads are laying great
plans for their individual cham
pionship. At least two of them,
warned many days ago about gas
rationing, laid aside enough gas to
take them to the tournament for
three days. That's being a big jump
ahead of the gun. And doubtless
some of the other lads have done
the same thing.
