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

Samuel Rosoff, I. R. T. King
Sought as Material Witness
In Union Worker’s Death
Alleged to Have Threatened Life Of

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.

President Marshals Forces
To Posh Court Reform
Legislation Thru Congress
No Talk Of Compromise in Second
White House Conference
Yesterday.
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.
