KARELIAN ISTHMUS
DEFENSES HOLD FIRM
AGAINST RED ATTACK
Helsinki Reports Successes of
Finns; Soviet Calls More Men
to Colors, Eyes Balkans Again
HELSINKI, D^c. 27—Un
successful Red army attempts to
storm Karelian isthmus defenses
were announced by the .Finnish
army, while Russian bombers
hammered again at key Finnish
cities.
Supported by heavy artillery
barrages, the Russian troops at
tacked repeatedly in the isthmus
sector but, the Finns said, the
defense lines held. The Isthmus
is the shortest route to Helsinki.
North of Lake Hatjalahti the
enemy launched an attack at noon
but was repulsed, and eight tanks
were destroyed. the communi
que said.
The Russian airforce struck
repeatedly at Tampere, strategic
Finnish munitions center, 100
miles northwest of Helsinki, and
other cities in a series of simul
taneous raids. The Finnish com
munique acknowledged civilian
casualties in some localities.
Northeast of Lieksa, a com
munique said, where the Russians
were reported to have suffered
decisive defeats this week, the en
emy was retreating toward the
frontier in the direction of Kiva
ara.
MOSCOW, Dec. 27—-W— Sov
iet Russia called more men to
arms tonight, poured large rein- j
forcements into the Finnish fight-;
ing, and revived her active inter
est in the neutral Balkans.
Presumably the men newly mo
bilized were intended for the
Finnish campaign. Meanwhile,
the arrival in Moscow of a Bul
garian trade delegation stirred
speculation in foreign quarters
as to whethei; the Soviet Union
might be demanding a Black Sea
naval bas%from Bulgaria.
WEATHER
Mostly cloudy and somewhat
unsettled Thursday and Friday.
Possibly snow flurries and slight
ly colder in mountains Thursday.

The annual Midwinter Horse Show, a- popular fixture on the
Pinehurst sports calendar, will be held tomorrow afternoon at the
race track, beginning at 1:00 p. m. The Tate youngsters, Billy and
“Junebug,” pictured above, are expected to furnish action in several
of the 11 classes. Their father, Lloyd M. Tate, will direct the show,
in which many Sandhills horses will participate.
SCOREBOARD
E. HARLOW
Fanshaw Lindsley, publisher of Golf, a magazine of the sport
which makes its appearance at such strategic periods as Mr. Lindsley
deems wise, and Mrs. Lindsley, have arrived at The Carolina Hotel to
avoid a boisterous New York New Year’s and spend it amid the quiet
and restful atmosphere of the long leaf pine.
Mr. Lindsley, a young publisher, who puts out programs for
swank sporting events about New York, such as the International
polo matches at Meadowbrook, is now in the middle of a great ex
periment, to wit: To prove that a national golf magazine can be
put over With a bang.
Mr. Lindsley and Herb Graffis, Chicago, are the only two living
Americans who still have faith that the American public will support
golfing publications in proper style. Mr. Graffis is holding down
several lucrative jobs on the side, while he watches his experiment
develop. Mr. Lindsley, likewise, has other irons in the fire.
Scoreboard was present in New York recently when Mr. Linds
ley threw a gigantic cocktail party in a Park Avenue Hotel, at which
event he launched, with proper ceremony, a new automobile to rep
resent his magazine GOLF, on the big time winter tournament cir
cuit. The automobile was christened by Mrs. Lindsley, who broke
a bottle of champagne over the car’s bonnet.
The car slid out of a freight entrance of the hotel, into Park Av
enue, and shortly thereafter passed through Pipehurst enroute to
Miami for the $10,000 open. On Christmas Day its captain messaged
from San Antonio, and last night Mr. Lindsley received word that it
had arrived safely in Hollywood, California, for the Los Angeles
open.
The captain of this golfing ship is Eddie Darrell, who for two
years drove the sound truck for the “Four Flying Spaldings, as Hor

SANDHILLS GOLFING
LEADERS WILL FORM
AMATEUR-PRO LEAGUE
Professionals representing the
four golf clubs in the Sandhills
were appointed yesterday to
draw up plans for the formation
of an amateur-professional golf
league based on principles dis
cussed at a meeting in the
afternoon in The Pinehurst Coun
try Club.
Harold Callaway, Pinehurst,
Roy Grinnell, Southern Pines,
Ted Turner, Pine Needles and
Roy Bronsdon, Mid Pines, will
report within a few days upon a
plan for competitions, handicap
ing, prizes, etc., for adoption.
At yesterday’s meeting the
plan which met with most favor
provides for four one day ama
teur-professional tournaments to
be contested. at each of the four
clubs in the Sandhills, during
January. One event each week
would be the program.
Professionals would be per
mitted to play with one, two or
three' amateur partners. The
amateurs would play from such
handicaps as the committee
awarded. The events would be
closed to professionals resident
during the season in this com
munity, and their amateur part
ners. * ^
It was suggested that if pos
sible a method of scoring be
adopted so that while each event
will constitute a complete tourn
ament, records may be kept and
series winners denoted.
s, Present at yesterday’s meet
ing were Donald J. Ross, feric
Nelson, Robert E. Harlow, Pine
hurst, John Fitzgerald# and Roy
Bronsdon, Mid Pines, Howard
Bums and Roy Grinnell, Southern
Pines and George Dunlap Jr. and
Ted Turner, Pine Needles.

30 players yesterday in the qual

Pinehurst Country Club, with a
card of ,38-40—78. .

player in the field to break 80*
over the championship course
from the white markers. Donald
Parson, with 41-41—82 was sec
ond. Mr. Parson withdrew from
match, play.
Weather conditions were far
from the sort which produces,
low scores. This accounted,, for
the high scores and the fact that
an 89 made the first eight..
Three divisions, of eight were
today.
The medalist did not start well
on either nine. He dropped four
strokes to par on the first three -
holes and fouj; more on the first
three holes of the incoming nine.
The other 12 holes yielded to Mr.
Covington to® the tune of two ,
under par. This excellent golf {
