The Breakfast T a b l e Pa per of the Sand hills* Resort Area VOLUME 1.—NUMBER 89. PINEHURST, N. C., SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1937 MEMBER ASSOCIATED PRESS Visiting Golfers Flock To Golf Courses Despite Misbehavior of Weather party of Thirty-One From Washing ton Conducts Own Informal Tournament. PRIZE FOR LEAST PUTTS By A. Linde Fowler. Mother always said that my broth er Vic was a perfect little angel except when company came. Then he seem ed to be possessed by the spirit incar nate and undoubtedly sent the visi tors away with the thought in mind that here was a spoiled brat, whose parents were not fit to bring up a fam ily. That’s the nearest thing „ to an analogy befitting the weather Pine hurst handed out yesterday to the largest February contingent of guests the local resort has known in at Jeast seven seasons. Here we had been experiencing some corking days, some with bright sun shine, others with clouds but no pre cipitation, and all with moderate tem peratures, lasting until the trains be gan coming in with Pullmans peopled to capacity with guests for over the week-end and Washington’s Birthday. Then Jupe Pluvius," crusty unfeeling and notoriously inconsiderate old codger, saw fit to put on a fit of the weeps yesterday to the discomfort of resident and guest golfers," and the disruption of schedules, so that the weekly tournament of the Tin Whis tles was among the events postponed. Another of the interrupted programs was that of a group of thirty-one golfing enthusiasts from Washington, D. C., composed largely of lawyers and business men, but with Senator Edward Burke as one of their num ber. They comprise a sort of society that started fifteen years ago as a group of four, to make an annual pil grimage to some point south in mid winter. The original group began to grow in numbers until it attained a maximum of forty-five members. A majority of those here at Pinehurst on the present pilgrimage are mem bers of the Washington Golf and Country club. A number of them got in, eighteen holes yesterday in spite of the rain, for the morning was not half bad. In fact, it is worthy of note that it was one of the most active days at the Coun try Club this entire season. There were a hundred and twenty registra tions on the day book, and that did not include the many who had week ly, monthly or season tickets, so that during the day, including those who started out in the afternoon and did not fir|ish, there must have been all of two hundred and fifty starters on the three courses that are in play. While the Washington group did not carry out their second day pro gram of the four that their stay em braces, they did take full advantage of the excellent playing weather on Friday to put through a quarter of their program, so that some of the prizes which will be passed out at their final meeting are in the records. The best gross so far recorded is a 7% by R. T. Harrell. The low net for eighteen holes so far is the 96-37-59 of Arthur May. The low gross prize for the first nine holes of the first' day was a 41 b*y George Elliott, and for the second nine a 39 by P. W. Cal fee. The low nine hole net of the first nine resulted in a triple tie between Jdaurice Horton, Gay Harrell and W. • Putnam. The low net of the second nine was turned in by Freeman Strick ln< The lowest gross for any one hole Was a tie at deuce between R. T. Har r6ll and Charles Claggett, who got t eir 2’s on the fourteenth hole of the o. 3. The highest score for any one n e was a 13 by K, P. Parkinson on e seventeeth hole of N. 3, whqreby e spoiled an otherwise excellent r°und. R. t Harrell was the only Member of the party who thus fat' If broken 80. P. W. Calfee had an as second best, and George El f * an 85, his chances for the run er-up gross p0siti0n. spoiled when ' 00k an 8 on the seventeenth hole of^ No. 3 course. lea +Gre *S a spec*al Prize Tor the s number of putts in the four days, WHAT TO DO AND SEE SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1937 GOLF At the Pinehurst Country Club.

Samuel Rosoff, I. R. T. King Sought as Material Witness In Union Worker’s Death Alleged to Have Threatened Life Of Slain Subway Workers Union , Leader, i WARRANT ISSUED ^OR ARREST TEANECK, N. J., Feb. 20.—(/P)— Prosecutor John J. Breslin announced this afternoon that he was issuing a warrant for the arrest of Samuel Rosoff, wealthy New York subway builder, as a material witness in the slaying of R. Norman Redwood, New York business manager of a subway workers’ union. , Breslin’s announcement came a shor$ time after Rosoff, in New York, said he would not come here for ques tioning about the slaying, but would submit to examination by authorities at his New York apartment. The prosecutor said county detec tive chief Henry B. Lockwood would sign the warrant for Rosoff. Lock wood had been directing the detec tives investigating the killing of Redwood by an auto load of gunmen in the driveway of his secluded Lau relton Parkway home here last night. Labor troubles have been blamed by authorities for the killing. Breslin declared he had an affidavit from a material witness which told of a meeting in Rosoff’s New York apartment February 5. The affidavit said, Breslin stated, that Rosoff told Redwood at that time that if he ever “pulled a strike” he would kill him. Breslin declined to reveal the name of the witness from whom the affidavit was obtained. BIDDLE AGENCY ANNOUNCES TWO NEW RENTALS HERE Two important rentals have been announced by the L. L.

COMMITTEE TO SIT MONDAY WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.—(/P) Pres ident Roosevelt gave congressional leaders tonight the signal to go ahead with legislation for reorganizing the courts. Senators emerging from the second of two conferences at the White House forecast that the Senate Judiciary Committee would begin work Monday on the President’s proposal to name six new justices to the Supreme Court. Some said there was no talk of compromise at th£ White House. As legislators left Thomas Corcoran, young presidential adviser, who is widely credited with helping draft the Court program, went to dine with the President. Two of the dozen senators who at tended the conference tonight, Fra zier and Nye, (R-ND) already were opposed to the presidential idea, and said afterward they had hot changed their attitude. Others who attended the second conference were LaFollette, (Prog Wis) and Bone and Schwellenbach (D-Wash). Bone has prepared a constitutional amendment as a possi- • ble substitute Tor Court reorganiza- * tion. Schwellenbach and LaFollette have sided with the President. Some of these Senators said they had general discussions of the Court situation and various amendments which have been proposed as alterna tives to the chief executive’s program. One said he got the impression the President would not be opposed to a constitutional amendment being sought along with the program. But there was no indication the Chief Executive ; would give up his plan in favor of a congressional amendment.
