The WORLD of TODAY
By the Associated Press ‘
Leading news of the day concerns Germany’s difficulty in hand
ling demonstrations and resistance by Czechs in Prague against the
Bohemian Protectorate. A official German news agency reports
that nine Czechs were shot today and that this and other methods
had been needed to restore order. Many arrests were made and
Czech schools were closed.
Earlier in the day Czech high schools and the Karlovy Univer
sity Technical Institute were occupied by German black shirts and
about 1,200 students, boys and girls, were hauled away in buses.
Reasons for this action were vague. On Wednesday 2,000 students
demonstrated against the Bohemia-Moravia Protectorate Govern
ment set up by Germany in the dissolution of Czechoslovakia.
In London the Supreme Allied War Council met and announced
“complete agreement” on methods of using French and British'forces
for effective conduct of operations.

French Premier Daladier said plans had been completed for common
action in the fields of air, munitions, raw materials, oil, food, ship
ping and economic warfare.

ice Gustave Gamelin, Commander in Chief of French and British
forces, and other officials.

Defense, were Britain’s principal represehtatives.
It was announced War Minister Leslie Hore-Belisha would con
fer Monday in France with Daladier and Gen. Gamelin.
The communique announced prospective establishment of a co
ordinating committee for pooling of ecoiiomic resources for war.

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
• by ROBERT E. HARLOW
Donald J. Ross played the number three course at the Pinehurst
Country Club in 36-34-^-70»yesterday. It was not exactly a new
experience, because Mr. Ross has been making low scores for sev
eral years. The remarkable thing about it is that Mr. Ross is 66
years old and one of those rare players who has every expectation
of playing his age one of these days.
Scoreboard will be in the press box today at the Duke-North
Carolina game and will make a brief report in tomorrow’s Outlook
as to some of what goes on. For details we recommend that those
interested contact Purvis Ferree, behind the desk at the Country
Club.
Jack Ryerson, Richard S. Tufts, James Hunter and Bing Hunter
played a fourball game yesterday afternoon on number three and
each scored a 76. Ryerson and Tufts defeated the Hunters 2 and 1.
The individual scores were Ryerson 41-35j—76; Tufts, 38-38—76;
James Hunter 38-38—76 and Bing Hunter, 37-39—76. Tufts, play
ing number two in the morning scored a 72.
Bing Hunter on Thursday came within inches of holing his tee
stroke at the eighth hole, on number one course. Yesterday he was
about one foot six inches from the hole, but missed the putt.
COLT IS NAMED “PINEHURST”
It is interesting to read the list of names given colts sold at the
Standardbred Horse sales and this month in Harrisburg the pro
gram listed as number 75," PINEHURST, chestnut gelding, by
Abbedale, dam Esna Dillon, by Dillon Axworthy. C. P. Mason,
Lewiston, Me., bought this animal for $300.
That international politics and war have been felt among the
harness horse folks is noted by a number of names such as: Prime
Minister, Flagship and What Next.
The movies are represented by Fan Mail, colleges by Bryn Mawr,
and that horsemen worry sometimes over money is noted in the
colts named Economist and Certified Cheek.
As usual the Hanover family has a large number of additions,
among these being such Pinehurst names as Ross and Dana Hanover.
One of the animals is named Fanny.
DR. PARSHALL BUYS COLT
