Inevitably golf. as other sports, is going
to suffer as direct result of hostilities and
there's likelihood that some of the major
golf events will not function for the dura-
ton. This will include the Joe Louis Open.
the most lucrative of all golf tournaments
held under the auspices of Negro groups.
Inc Louis tournament was held for the
first time last August at Rackham course.
more than 100 contestants coming from va.
rious sections of the country to compete
for the $1,000 prize. Before the Japs
swarmed over Pearl Harbor last Dec. z.
prospects were very bright for this number
to be exceeded in the 1912 tournament.
But war has interviewed and the future is
not so bright for the tournament.
While Louis has not stated definitely
whether he will sponsor the tournament
this year, 1t is well known that the entry

There was a heated controversy
among some of the baseball fans last week.
The controversy centered around Bruce
Buddy Petway one of the greatest play
ers who ever pulled on the padded para
phanalia for duty behind the plate, and
Anvil Higgins, one of the best throwing in
fielders ever to come up with grounder
and throw out the runner. One of the
fans was convinced higgins succeeded
Pete Hill as manager of the Detroit Stars,
and was later succeeded by Petway as
pilot of the team John (Tenny) Bount
organized here in 1919. Petway joined the
Detroit Stars in 1919, serving as first string
catcher and team captain under Hill. He
was made manager at the beginning Of
1922, holding that spot until he was sue
ceeded by higgins in 1926. higgins joined
the Stars May %, 1920, coming here from
RUDE Fosters American Giants, the same
club that sent Hill and Petway to the Stars
higgins was made captain in 1922, and
manager in 1926. The following year he
was traded to Cleveland for Hally Harding
and Stack Martin.

ruled finally that owners must ap-
pear IN person to sign the applica-
lions or else must obtain an applica-
ton form from their ration boards
and sign 1t in advance. If this is
done, substitutes can do the registra-
ton.
Hundreds of Wives Appear.
Nevertheless, a number of persons
came to the schools today bearing
the registration cards and gas ra-
tioning books of their friends and
neighbors for whom they wanted to
register At the Woodrow Wilson
High School, Nebraska avenue and
Chesapeake streets NV, one woman
reported that hundreds of women
came to register for their husbands
and had to be sent away.
About 400 persons had appeared at
Western High School, Thirty fifth
and r streets NV, by 10 am. About
200 teachers were assigned to handle
registrations here in two shifts from
Fam. to 8 pm.
Only 10 applications at Western
had to be rejected because the own
ers had more than the maximum OF
five tires. In several instances, how
ever, those whose applications were
held up, listed five extra tires.
As at other schools, registrants
were experiencing difficulty with

to be rejected during the first two
hours because excess tires were
listed.
One motorist at Central reported
he had two extra tires and his ap-
pllcation was held up. He said,
though, that he was going to call
the Railway Express Agency at once
and dispose of the tires so that ne
could return before the registra-
ton ends tomorrow. Motorists who
fail to register either today or to-
morrow will be compelled to go to
their rationing boards and comply
with OPA regulations Or they will be
deprived Of their rationing books.
Serviceman Registers.
The first serviceman to register at
Central was George A. Maschauer,
yeoman, second class, who lives at
1901 Sixteenth street NV. and is
stationed at the Navy Yard. He said
he intends to turn his car over to
the Navy after Christmas.
At the Alice Deal School, Thirty
eighth street and Nebraska avenue
NV, where no registration was
scheduled, Mrs. Norma Forsythe,
school nurse, was stationed at the
door beginning at $50 am. to direct
confused registrants to the nearby
Woodrow Wilson High School.
Motorists whose last names begin
with letters from "A" through IL"
were being asked to sign up today
Those whose names begin with M
through u" are slated to register
tomorrow.
Cleared in 10 to Is Minutes.
At Roosevelt High registrants
were handed application blanks at
the door and directed to one Of five
first-f1oor rooms where they were
asked to fill in the first part OF the
form. After this had been done,
they were taken to the cafeteria
where 1870 teachers. in two shifts,
filled In the remaining part Of the
blank and had the applicants sign.
The entire procedure took from 10 to
IS minutes.
At Central High applicants were
asked to fill in the entire blank
themselves, after which the applica-
tions were checked by the teachers.
At most schools members of the
Cadet Corps or other students
acted as ushers.
Everywhere, it was reported, the
registrations were procee ding
smoothly. Teachers reported appli-
cants seemed better informed con-

more cooperative these days than
they had been in 1917.
Robert j. Baldwin, $500 Fourteenth
street NV, proprietor of a bakery
and confectionery shop, said he be-
lieved the tire registration program
was the best way to check up on
the Nations available rubber sup
ply. He said 1t took very little OF
his time and that he didn't mind
giving 1t up.
Irwin H. Bernhard, 1901 Juniper
street NV, q transportation en-
gineer, dropped in at Roosevelt
High School to register Just before
leaving town for several days. He
agreed that 1t was a little incon-

Mrs. Kathryn Mangum. 4425 Four

to ask OF any person
Mrs. Marshall Barrett, 1400 Long
fellow street NV, who brought her
5-year-old son Bart with her
to the Roosevelt School, said Amer
leans could scarcely consider it a
sacrifice to give up their excess
tires and to take time off to register
This is nothing compared to what
some people are going through for
U.S." she said.
Mrs. Eta Lockhart. 4011 Thir-
tenth street NV, was one of the
persons who discovered after she
arrived at the registration center
that she was not permitted to sign
up for her husband in whose name
their car is listed. She took a form
with her and said she would get her
husband. James, a Capital Transit
bus driver. to sign 1t before she re-
i turned. Mrs. Lockhart said she and
her husband were glad to cooperate
in any program that would end tire
boarding and help restrict the use
of cars to essential mileage
One sailor came to register for
an admiral the admirals wife and
one other party at Western High

Both men were sent away with in
