ton designed to make skiing an
international sport in the Western
Hemisphere. will be formed at a
two-day meeting of ski enthusiasts
from the United States, Canada,
Chile and Bolivia, opening here to-
day.
The group expects to elect officers
and adopt constitution and by
laws, completing plans which were
initiated last November during the
National Ski Association Convention
at Milwaukee.
United States and Canadian rep
resentatives at Milwaukee, dissatis-
fed with the practice of the FedeSa-
tion Internationale de Ski Of holding
all competitions in Europe, agreed
to withdraw from that worldwide
governing body and cooperate in
forming an organization restricted to
North and South American coun-
tries.
Secretary Guillermo Ekdahl of the
Santiago Ski Club who will repre-
sent Chile at the meeting. said on
the eve of the opening session that
his country wanted to be the first
to stage competition under the
sponsorship of the new organization
as soon as the war ends.
Ekdahl and other delegates from
Chile and Bolivia returned recently
from an eight-week tour of United
States ski centers, sponsored by the
Office of Inter-American Affairs.

BY FRITZ LITTLEJOHN,
Associated Press Sports Writer.

ASHEVILLE, N. c., April A.
Jimmy Demaret, the one-time gold
en boy of golf, is heading for the
high road of success again today
still the laughing good fellow, in a
gay checkered jacket, but more
serious man, on the links.
Overlooked by the galleries in the
first two rounds Of the ASheville
Open, Demaret, after a wobbly start,
laid down a II and a SO and last
night when the last of the faithful
had deserted the fairways, Jimmy
still was polishing a game that now
is near a peak of perfection.
Looks Good" When Flubbing.
The only man playing who has
any chance of rivaling Slamming
Sammy Snead as the Babe Ruth of
golf. Demaret has put behind his
habit of missing them quick, and
now looks good even when he f1ubs
shot. He is playing every shot for
keeps.
He has his heart set especially
on a good showing here, for it was
in Asheville that he picked up in
1910, the year he startled the golf
world by winning six P. G. A.
tournaments, including the Augusta
Masters.
He also is polishing his game with
one eye turned toward Augusta, for
he knows a victory there would
mean not that he is on the road
back but that he has arrived.
Barron Setting Pace.
After his great year in 1910, De-
maret says, he went around in 1941
defending his titles.
"All of a sudden, I ran out of
titles" Jimmy said, with rueful
grin. II have been hiding behind
my own gallery this winter, and I'm
getting tired of it,"
Today he was only three shots off
the pace, and playing beautifully.
Leading the field was Herman
Barron, of White Plains, N. Y, at
1877. Lawson Little of Monterey,
Calf, was second at 139. Demaret
was bracketed with Defending
Champion Ben Hogan and Henry
Picard at 140 as the field swung
into the third 18-hole round.
