COVINGTON TO PLAY
J. T. HUNTER FOR
MIDWINTER CROWN
Medalist Eliminates Vail, 5 and
4; Bay State Golfer Taken 22
Holes by Robertson
Today at one p. m. James T.
Hunter, North Adams, Mass, and
Hub Covington, athletic coach
from Woodberry Forest, Va., will
meet in the final round of the
Midwinter golf tournament at
the Pinehurst Country Club.
Hunter has had far greater
golfing experience than Coving
ton, but is not playing to his best;
form. Covington, who coaches
baseball, wrestling and football,
has only gone in for competitive
golf during the last few years,
but his approach to the game has
been that of a student of athletic
form, and he has developed a
sound game.
The match should prove inter
esting, and with decent weather
a gallery is expected to follow.
Mr. Hunter had the greatest
difficulty in disposing of Francis

MAKING NEWSPAPER HISTORY
The photo engravings which appear on the front page of today's
issue of The PINEHURST OUTLOOK were made in our own plant
last night from photographs taken yesterday afternoon by John
Hemmer at The Pinehurst Sandhills Horse Show. The engravings
were made by Eldon Thompson of The Outlook staff and Lawrence
Harris of The Raleigh Times.
It is nothing for the metropolitan newspapers to reproduce
photographs within a short time after they have been taken, but these
papers work with the latest equipment and the most skillful artists.
For a ‘wee daily like The PINEHURST OUTLOOK to undertake
to provide a somewhat similar service is worthy of journalistic com- -
ment, and we believe all our readers will unite in agreeing that in our
photo engraving plant The OUTLOOK has something which will en
liven our pages and benefit this community.
Editors of The OUTLOOK feel that nothing will enhance the
value of this newspaper more than an engraving plant which will
make it possible to provjde our readers with a pictorial digest of
activities here. - . t
For the story of the' Sandhills in pictures, we suggest The
PINEHURST OUTLOOK.

QUAKE TOLL GROWS
Mounting death toll in earth
quake-stricken Anatolia yester
day led officials to express belief
the total dead might reach 50,
000 as starvation, cold and dis
ease created new perils for sur
vivors of the Wednesday catas
trophe.
Relief trains rushed food and
medical supplies to the shattered
quake zone, but wrecked commu
nication facilities and a raging
blizzard made it seem certain ad
ditional* thousands would die of
injuries and exposure before help
could reach them.
REDS BOMB OWN MEN
Furious fighting among the
Russian invaders, with Red ar
tillery and planes shelling and
bombing their own men, was re
ported from Finland last night
as the vast but vague Russian of
fensive showed but little progress
at the end of 30 days of the un
declared war. Finnish military
authorities reported that 900
Russians had been killed in two
separate thrusts at the Karelian
Isthmus.
TRAIN HELD FOR HIM,
MR. KERWIN WINS GOLF

in Pinehurst yesterday, to play
golf with his friend C. W. Rain
ear. Mr. Kerwin’s taxi /broke
down in Germantown and , he
missed his connection at North
Philadelphia station. He caught
a later train due in Washington
15 minutes after the last train for
Pinehurst was scheduled to de
part, but the Seaboard railroad j
which does everything possible
to please its patrons, held the
train until Mr. Kerwin could
catch it. Mr. Kerwin, president of
the Pennsylvania Forge comp
any, defeated Mr. Rainear, presi
dent of the C. J. Rainear comp
