Canada’s Fastest-growing Market! Equipment menare nowconfident that Skiing has come abreast of Golf, as Canada’s No. } sport expenditure with an estimated 1941 turnover of more than $1,000,000. Considering all the enormous scope of ski-investments, a sharp economic deduction is to be made! Indeed, here is the country’s newest, most enthusiastic, wealthiest and fastest-growing market! How To Feeach it. With America’s quickening ski pulse and the sharp upward trend of ski-buying, CANADIAN SKIER MAGAZINEwasintroduced to bridge the gap between thousands of newcomers to the sport and those whosupply the limitless needs of skiers. With a program of four monthly issues (December to March) CANADIAN SKIER moved quickly in 1940 to perform the functions of a na- tional magazine, bringing Education, Instruction and Divertise- ment to readers while providing an exact medium for every con- ceivable market-seeker from makers of Equipment to Roofing; from Resort owners to manufacturers of Clothing, Food, and Beverages. A Close Official Tie-up! Starting with a press run of 5000 and with highersales in each suc- cessive issue, CANADIAN SKIER “clicked” from the outset. Further evidence of this came in appointmentas Official Organ of the Canadian Amateur Ski Association. Now for 1941 the C.A.S.A. has appointed chairmen in the zones to organize circulation in every ski club in Canada. From this a substantial commission is being turned over to a fund with which the C.A.S.A. will send skiers from the Zones to the National meets after the War. This effort to aid organized skiing may be regarded as most important to advertisers. A Better Selling Job! Skiing in Canada is growing amazingly. CANADIAN SKIER is growing with it. The reason? Here is a publication dedicated to servicing a tremendous new buying power—the nation’s winter 1 sportsmen and women! Hereis a publication designed to help you do a better selling job!

During the past year sales of White Label have increased more rapidly than those of any other brand!

To illustrate this fact there were 32 players with 72 or better in the first round. If Draper’s effort on Thursday made the opening round “Amateur Day” there can be no denying that Bobby Gray, Jr., towering Scarboro professional, had a day of his own on Friday. Starting out rather late Gray gathered mo- mentum as he went. He turned in 32 which was two below perfect figures going out. Then he notched three more birdies coming in over the difficult last nine. It was as sim- ple as that, for Gray was in a “get everything” humor. For example when he came at length to the 250 yard 18th hole of this round, his remarkable scoring was well-known. He had collected a huge gallery and a thousand more were at the green. In a position where a par meant as fine a round as had ever been produced in the Canadian Open — a 65 — Gray laid his No. 3 iron on the corner of the big putting surface. He was 30 feet from the cup.

Your editor talked with Tom Draper before the second round. “What are you going to shoot today?” we asked. “Probably a 77!” was the answer from the player who knock-

Bulla was in the first three for three rounds, but blew of two fine rounds of 70 for 140. Proulx was the sensation of a 79 in the last round. Right, Gerard Kennedy, Winnipeg play- the early rounds with his powerful hitting. He was homeon er who did not take part in the Open, but was on hand to view proceedings at Lambton. the 519 yard 10th hole with a spoon and No. 7 iron. Later, on the last day, he used his spoon off the first tee and was passed the green of this 360-yarded. Even the redoutable Snead with whom Gerard played the last day, had to admit that Gerard was a long hitter. It was interesting during those rounds that while Proulx outhit Sam several occasions, Sam was not drawn into the slugfest to any extent. It is also high- ly indicative that Sam scored 66-69-135 on that last day, while Gerard, though hitting the ball a mile, required 74-82. Your editor felt that Proulx would have scored much better if his attention had not been placed on banging the ball so far. Had he not played with Snead he might have been much closer, but the young Montrealer with the speedy hand ac- tion seemed to tire and the huge gallery swarmed over him as is so often the case when one plays with such a star as Snead. One of the most amazing things about the 1941 Open championship was the record low score that was required to Sam Snead wearing his now-famous cap which is a cross be- qualify for the final day’s play.

Also under the 140-mark by one shot came defending champion, Sam Snead, and “Junior Snead” as Lloyd Man- grum is sometimes called because his game is very similar on a slightly less powerful scale. So here were all the stars “backed up” by a homebredat the halfway mark Indeed Friday was “Bob Gray’s” day. It seemed as if all golfing Toronto was there cheering him on. Radio men carried his every action to the ether; reporters buzzed around him on the course and in the club house: It is doubtful if any Canadian has hada greater day unless it was Ken Black at Shaughnessey Height back in 1936 when heshot a 63 to win the $5000 Vancouver Open. And so now we move into the last rounds which were a mad scramble with everyone feeling that Sarazen or Snead were the men to watch and everyone ‘hoping that Gray might hold his margin through the 36 holes of tensebattling.

the average — polling the ball as far as was necessary on the long ones. An e ducated observer could go into estacies over the uniform flight of Sara- e h t zen’s shots. Always fairly low with theirons with a slight “left to right” bend on them, the ball comes into the green “feeling for the pin”. It settles hard and bounces sharply on the second hop, like a charger which has been brought up short by an iron-wristed rider.

e V In that final round Sarazen had ten putts inside 12 feet for birdies, seven chances of nine feet, four of them inside of five feet. Yet he got but two on the whole round. Sarazen, today, takes about half the time that Snead does to play a shot — and Snead is not slow. Gene makes up his mind what club is to be used before he reaches the ball. He can do almost anything with a field shot. Even with his putter lukewarm he finished with 277 with a final

70 which would have been a 64 with mere normal putting. = When Gene missed a two three-footers for birdies in a row at the 12th and 13th it was obvious that he would not catch Snead. With those two childish putts sunk he needed only par on the next five holes to tie. With th par five fifteenth playing like a par four for Gene, it might have been ex- pected that he would have even gone on to win! But he slumped badly afte: those little misses, playing disgusted golf thereafter until at the 72nd, as if fate were mocking him, he dropped a long putt for a birdie two.

So Snead was left alone at the top to the heap once more; while every- one asked how and when would aplayer come along to beat the great West Virginian. Meanwhile, though there was no player capable of beating Snead, those last two rounds sawseveral players shoot someof the finest golf of th whole event. Mississauga’s Gordon Brydson with 68-67 was best man on the last day. This gave him fourth place. Bill Kerr, too, played fine golf through- out to take fifth place with 141-68-71. Lloyd Mangrum who had been in the picture until his shaky third-round 72, shot a final par 70 for sixth place at 281. This gave Canada and United States an even brake on the first six places, three to three.

Meanwhile Phil Farley was showing his heels for a fourth time to th amateurs in the Open field. With 288 he managed to be two shots ahead of the California song-writer, Skee Riegel, Gendale, Jim Black of St. Louis who shot a final 68 and Draper who needed 78-74 on thelast day for 290.

— BIG BUSINESS IN THE BUNKERS

ITAL to Canada’s Wareffort is the shipping in- dustry and the construction of vessels. Close to the heart of this all-important work are the members of Montreal’s GRUNT CLUBanorganization made up of leaders on the great waterfront of Canada’s metro- polis. TThese men, busier in 1941 than at any timein the history of Canadian shipping, are still aware of the immense value of relaxation and exercise. The GRUNT

CLUB, organized before the start of the war, now serves as a medium for bringing shipping men out to golf several times yearly. Many a doughty Scot whose business is ships is listed among the GRUNT CLUB. The result is that many

excellent golfers who learned their games in the old country turn out for these meetings. All in all the calibre of golf is high and thespirit of goodfellowship engendered by these tournaments has seen the GRUNT CLUB grow steadily in number and in importance. Most significant of all, however, is that these men, cogs in ; the great work of providing «“ Bottoms for Britain,’ know they must play and exercise to keep

efficient. “Chey choose the game of golf as the ideal means to this end. 1. Joe Tait, Consulting E gincer 2. John H. Davey, Manz Director, International Paints (Can.) Ltd. President of A. Ramsay & Son Co

Thus, it should prevent clubs (and there- fore, their individual members) from having to pay more for golf on the score of redesigning and lengthening courses, whichin the past has sometimes required purchase of more land and payment of larger taxes. 2. It should restrict the distance walked and the time required to play a round of golf to the point of the player’s comfortable endurance. 3. It should result in greater emphasis on individual play~ ing by promoting uniformity in the manufactured elements of the game. 4.
