The WORLD of TODAY
BRITISH WARSHIPS SIGHTS IN BALTIC
By the Associated Press
Sighting of British warships in th6 Baltic sea and the effort of
Russian Soviets to set up a Communistic government in North
^ Finland by recognizing and forming a mutual assistance pact
er” the “People’s Government/* were the ipost significant moves
Saturday in the Russian attack upon the Finns.
The appearance of British warships in the Baltic gave credence
to reports of growing friction between Great Britain and Russia.
Joseph Stalin yesterday signed a mutual assistance pact with
Otto Kuusinen, head of the “People's Government of Finland,” which
was established Friday in Terijoki, near the Russian border.
While Finnish Communists were agreeing to Stalin's demands,
the new Finnish government in Helsinki, led by Premier Ryti was
declaring that the “independence of Finland shall not be destroyed
by our Eastern neighbor.” ..Two cabinet sessions considered ask
ing the League of Nations to summon a special meeting to consider
the Russian-Finnish war.
While Finland’s military forces were reported to have swept
invading Russians from the port of Petsamo, there were indications
of Russian reenforcements in that area, and doubt was expressed by
military leaders that the Finns could hold the regained positions.
The recapture of the port was accomplished after an all night march
through snow and over mountain passes.
Under the pact arranged by Stalin and Kuusinen, the Finnish
Communists would transfer to Russia 1,537 square miles in the Kar
elian Peninsula, moving the Finnish-Russian border northward* It
would lease to Russia for 30 years the peninsula on which is located
Finland's Gibraltar of the Baltic. A number of neighboring islands
would be included, for the establishment of Russian naval and air
bases in the Gulf of Finland.

DINEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
V
Gene Sarazen was evidently a bit put out when the P. G. A.
failed to name him as a member of the 1939 Ryder Cup side which
would have played against the British last month, IF.
Last spring Gene said he would not accept a position on the
team. He gave out a complaint based on the fact that he had never
been named as captain of the American team, a job which has been
handed to Walter Hagen ever since the' International contest was
created. *
There was much in Gene’s beef. He was, as a matter of fact,
entitled to have been named as captain at least’ once. Biit he did not
get on well with the politicians of the P. G. A., and politicians do
not build up a machine by handing out patronage to their opponents.
Now Gene announces that he can name a team of pros capable
of beating the 1939 official professional side. Gene would play
captain. Gene does not keep his name in the newspapers by dint of
a retiring nature. Having failed of appointment as captain of the
Ryder Cup side, he promotes a team on his own, and appoints him
self captain, and gets more publicity than Hagen did, when he was
named leader of the regular forces.
Examination of the records of the two teams indicates tnat 11
Gene wagered the $5,000 he talked about in printer’s ink,s he
would lose his money. Gene’s side could not whip the regulars if
statistics mean anything.
The ten men on the P. G. A. side have won a total of $61,283
in prize money this season, whereas Gene’s selections have won
$31,635. Scoreboard, having followed big time professional golf in
an intimate capacity for many years, will wager Gene ^another
$5,000 in printer’s ink money, that a side which can win $61,283 in
prize money can whip a team which can win only $31,635 in prize
money. .
There are other figures which make the regulars outstanding.
The average age of the P. G. A. side is 29.5 years; that of the
Sarazen side is 33.09. ProfessoV Harvey Lehman of Ohio Uni
versity, after an examination of the dates of some 100 prb golfers
who won major championships, found that the peak years for top
performance were between 25 and 34. Scoreboard doubts if Gene
can outsmart the figures of Professor Lehman. His crew is ap
proaching the downward swing of the age limit for most proficient
competitive golf among hard hitting pros. The P. G. A. team is
hitting the very peak of this nine-year period.
It is interesting to note, however, that all*of the boys on the
P. G. A. team have been good members of the association and never
criticised the recent administration. There are at least three mem
bers of the Sarazen side who dared to defy the old P. G. A. regime.
These nien are Sarazen, Craig Wood, and Shute.
Sarazen, Wood and Shute, on their records, are probably mere
entitled to spots on the official side than t^ree of the men who
have been named, but even with these allowances because of politics,
the regular team should clean up Sarazen’s side, and be an odds
on favorite , '
The regulars are Nelson, Picard, Guldahl, Smith, Metz, Snead,
McSpaden, Runyan, Hines and Ghezzi. . ^
The nine men named by Sarazen to join him against the regu
lars are Cooper, Shute, Wood, Revolta, Thomson, Armour, Dudley,
Harrison and Hogan. >
It should be noted that Cooper, Thomson and Armour are not
eligible for the regular team, being foreign born.
Had the Ryder match been played there would have been a
terrific shout from the friends of Sarazen, Shute and Wood, because
they were left outside—and with much justification.
* * *
Don’t forget — entries close tonight for the Badminton tourna
ment which will be held at The Carolina tomorrow morning. ,

Seek Harold Kittle;
Father Seriously 111
■ f ■.
The: State Highway Patrol and
police officers throughout the
state are. trying to locate Harold
Kittle, whose father, George
Walter .Kittle is seriously ill at
Charleston, W. Va. A plea was
received yesterday by the State
Highway Patrol in the form of
a letter from his sister, Mrs.
Creed Meadows of Charleston,
W. Va: The letter stated that
the missing Harold Kittle was
believed killed in a mine explbs
ion 14 years ago, his body unre
covered, but that a post card was
received by his half-sister, Mrs.
Thelma Kittle at Charleston,
-Sept. 26, 1939. The card, which
was apparently written by the
missing man was postmarked
“Pinehurst, N. C.,” leading to
the belief that he is alive and
somewhere in this vicinity.
Anyone having information re
garding the missing person is
asked to'get in touch with the
State Highway Patrol. Author
ities have received no descrip
tion, nor do they know the age
of the missing man.
