Whir|away, Sun Again
Head 'A|I-America'
Racing Lineup
Transportation, Money
Problems Moy Put
Crimp in Sport
By SID FEEDER.


NEW YORK, May 11-Marked by
a wartime future that's uncertain
at best, racing comes to Belmont
today and brings with it the i'm
preston that plain Ben Jones has
put together the classiest "all Amer
lea" turf team in large number of
years.
That Is the chief thing picked up
on the annual spring merry-go-
round ride to Maryland and Ken
tucky-that plain Ben's barn has at
least one championship threat in
every racing division. topped by
"triple threat" Whirlaway.
But then there also is the wonder
over just what's going to happen to
the sport of kings-and the cash
customers.
In Louisville, Baltimore and way
points, there was talk of a possible
moratorium, complete or partial, on
racing until the big fight is over.
Most of the discussions leaned to-
ward the idea that, 'morale-aid" or
no, racing would be curtailed before
the years out.
Travel and Coin are Problems.
The major difficulties were %
where will racegoers get gas, oil,
tires and automobiles to reach the
courses and ~ where will they get
the dollars with which to feed the
iron men. Estimates in most places
were that so per cent or more of the
NV
bus.
AS far as the Derby and the
Preakness are concerned. Shut Out
and come backing Alsab, the winners
reading from left to right, proved
mosly that horses still are like the
common cold-no one knows much
about either.
In each race Mrs. Payne Whit
ney's Devil Diver was the "big
hoss'-the standout over all others.
And when last heard of, the Diver
still was running in both heats.
All of which makes the squad
representing plain Ben and Owner
Breeder Warren Wright appear
more and more like the claSsiest
all-around stable In years.
Sun Again Shows Endurance.
Saturday the Missourian sent Sun
Again to the Preakness post after
scratching him from the Derby. 1t
was the first time Sun Again ever
had tried to run over mile, yet at
the end Of the mile and three-six-
teenths he was in a dead heat for
the place with Requested. And he
gave the idea that from now on he
would be the one to beat for the
big pots.
That gives Jones' Whirlaway and
The Sun to take care of the handi-
cappers and the 3-year-old colts.
Then there is Markell, named for
the wife of Chacigos Mayor. She
heads the 3-year-old f1lly brigade.
And, If you can keep a secret. there's
little fellow called Ocean Wave
who's going to have lot to say
about the 2-year-old situation.
None of Trainer Ben's big ones
will interfere with the hopes of other
barns at Belmont's opening, which
is featured by two stakes. The
$4,000 Toboggan, a three quarter
dash for older horses, has drawn
field Of dozen, headed by
George Widener's Overdrawn and
the speedy Ocean Blue.
Thirteen young ladies have been
named for the $4,000 Fashion Stakes
for 2-year -old fillies, with Hulriette
the one to beat.

material called tenite. 1t has all the.
characteristics of the best golf balls,
but the thing doesn't seem to carry
as far as the better grade of rubber
spheres, and 1t has the click and
sound on the clubface of the old
gutta percha ball of 40 years ago.
The plastic ball may be the long
term answer to the golf ball prob
lem, if the supply of old balls for
reprocessing runs out. but at pres
ent it is more or less in the expert
mental stage. A few of them have
found their way into the hands of
golfers on the War Production Board
staff. They act right and they look
right. which leads to another
thought. If golf balls can be made
of plastics, why not automobile
tires? Both are resilient and must
have rebound to perform their func-
tions. Maybe some smart inventor
can work out tire from plastics.
Harbs to Leave Capital
Helen Hicks Harb, star feminine
golfer. is scheduled to leave town
in a few days to make her home In
Boston. Whitney Harb, husband OF
the former national womens cham
pion. is with the War Production
Board and has been assigned to the
Boston Office after about six months
here. The Harbs have been mem
bers of Congressional, where Mrs.
Harb has turned in some low scores.
Mrs. Harb, of course, is golf pro-
fessional. If she was eligible to play
in the women's Journeys around the
CAPITAL she'd win about all the gross
prizes.
Big SchoolbOy Match.
Big moment of the Schoolboy
matches in the metropolitan section
comes tomorrow at Woodmont,
where Georgetown Prep and Be
thesda- Chevy Chase, both unde-
feated in their section, clash around
$50 pm. The match undoubtedly
will settle the met" section cham
pionship.
Roosevelt already has a strangle-
hold on the Dawes Cup and the title
among the Washington public high
schools. If a way can be found
without breaking school laws, there
should be a post-season match be-
tween the winning teams in the two
sections, although Roosevelt al
ready has licked Bethesda IN an
informal match.
Tomorrow at Washington more
than threescore women will compete
in the Miller Memorial tourney, a
handicap event to be staged by the
women Of the Washington club.
Golfers Crowd Courses.
Their last big week end with full
use of automobiles sans gasoline re-
strictions brought out banner crowds
at all the courses Notwithstanding
brief rain showers. Most of the
clubs held weekend tournaments.
Seven tied in blind bogey event

Retailing
Here at
HighLevel

The continued influence OF the
Easter holiday and mild weather in
addition to war-inspired purchases
are pressuring consumer purchases
to a point between % and 40 per
cent ahead of the same week last
year and 6 per cent ahead of the
previous week. according to Dun &
Bradstreet, Inc. The stores featur'
ing Easter merchandise exclusively
account for the higher percentage
but in this connection IL should be
remembered that Easter Is q
week earlier this year than last
and because of this the gain over
the previous week Is more signifi-
cant.
Mems wear stores are selling
heavy overcoats at regular prices,
whereas a year ago there was an
average discount of IS per cent in
this department. Summer and
winter suits are also conspicuous
and the present level OF activity is
double and more than that of last
year. Publicity on revised styles
has contributed to this activity TO
such a point that tailoring and
alteration help is proving a bottle
neck.
Speciality shops are getting 40
per cent more sales and are bene-
fitting from the addition of siz-
able group of new customers made
up of skilled and semi-skilled en-
pioyes who are now approaching
higher income brackets in increas-
ing numbers.
Collections In the wholesale field
are 70 to Is per cent ahead of q
year ago. but tightening OF credit
is responsible for
part OF the maintenance OF that
level. Sales. normally upward in
the season are now so TO 20 per
cent ahead and advanced buying
in this field last year is enabling
operators in this group 10 maintain
volume in spite of the items miss
ing from inventories.
Collections are being followed
closely and accounts receivable are
being added to or opened only
after careful scrutiny.

Stocks in Hands OF
Dealers Available
for Civilian Purchases

WASHINGTON. March %. -
Stocks of domestic electric re-
lfrigerators in hands OF dealers
have been released for sale to con-
sumers by the War Production
Board.
The order means that about
Is, 900 refrigerators that are op-
Grated electrically will be made

chase.
This Is about one-tenth OF the
total number OF refrigerators
which will be accumulated In

frigerators is discontinued on
April 30.
The release order does not apply
to gas and kerosene refrigerators
because of a shortage IL that lire
however. the dealers may now
sell these types back to q dis
tributor or manufacturer.
The original order permitted a
dealer to sell his stock on hand or
in transit up to 100 new domestic
refrigerators or about one-twelfth
the number he sold in 1941, which,
ever figure was the larger.
Under the ''unfreezing" order
today a distributor Is permitted to
sell back any OF his refrigerators
to a manufacturer or he may fill
from his frozen stock of refriRera-
tors orders having a preference
rating of A-10 or higher.
The effect Of the order will
make available refrigerators to
persons who placed orders before
the freeze order was issued but
who have been unable. to receive
deliveries. The existing orders IN
the hands Of the dealers will get
first call on the released refrigera-
tors.
