Three teams of four players
eaCh were sitting about in the
Tin Whistle room at dusk last
evening wondering how they
would decide the three cornered
tie they were in for the major
Tin Whistle prizes of the day,
when from the other side of the
tracks, the last group of the tour
nament came in with the answer.
There was nothing left for the
three teams to do but go home
to supper for the late comers, who
were James Hunter, C. B. S.
Harr, Dr. M. E. Medlin and W.
H, B Ward, anchor man, brought
in old man par completely {iors

The three tied teams had been
deadlocked at four up, but when
Mr, Hunter, Mr. Marr, Dr. Med
lin and Mr. Ward absorbed a
two hole penalty for playing
number three course, they still
were seven up and had won by i
a margin of three.
All members of the winning
team contributed to the victory.
Mr. Hunter won the 9th and
13th with natural birdies; Mr.
Harp won the 2nd and 17th, Dr.
Medlin the 5th and Mr. Ward the
7th and 16th. Mr. Marr and Dr.
Medlin were both in on foul blows
struck Mr. Par on the 8th and
15th holes, and on the 12th Mr.
unter’s natural birdie four and
Mr. Ward’s five gross, minus one
or a four, gave Mr. Par another
K.O.
Only at the 18th was Mr. Par
able to rise up and smite this
devastating: combination. They
thought he was out, but he made
a game finish.

CLAYTON HEAFNER’S
ACE GIVES HIM LEAD
WITH 209 AT OAKLAND
North Carolina Golfer Established
As Favorite to Win at End of
Third Round; Demaret, Laf
foon, 211
OAKLAND, Calif.— As non
chalantly as he used to whip off
a batch of fudge, Clayton Heaf
ner, one-time candy maker of
Linville, N. C. batted out a hole*
in-one today in the third round
of the Oakland open golf tourn
ament. That prodigious blow,;
along with 67 others, boosted him
into the lead of the annual $5,000
medal play event, and established
him as the favorite to win the
72 hole tournament tomorrow.
By checking in with his two
under par 68, the blond from the
Tar Heel state posted a 54
hole total of 209. It put him two
strokes ahead of his nearest ri
val. —
On the 191 yard second hole,
Heafner took a number four
iron. There was a slight follow
ing wind. The ball sailed straight
for the pin. It landed some three
yards in front of the cup and
rolled in as if attracted by a
magnet. His round was 35-33.

Announcement
Publishers of The Pinehurst Outlook, having intimate knowledge
concerning the difficulty of producing a daily newspaper in the Sand
hills, were not surprised when they read the young men who, since
January 1, 1940, have been publishing the Sandhills Daily News, had
decided to suspend that newspaper with yesterday’s issue.
During the summer of 1939 the publishers of The Pinehurst Out
look made every effort to effect a conciliation with the publishers of
the Sandhills Daily News, but to no avail.
The community will not support two daily newspapers. It will
take economical management and plenty of elbov^ grease to beat the
sheriff to the wire with only one daily journal in the field.
Yesterday, Jthe publisher of the Outlook called ony Mayor D. G.
Stutz and Town Clerk Howard Burns of Southern Pines, and advised
these gentlemen that this newspaper would continue to cover to the
best of its ability the news of the resort sections of the Sandhills.
Jerry V. Healy is the Southern Pines editor,of the Outlook. He
has served in this capacity since the first issue of this season’s Out
look and is doing an excellent job of reporting.

HITLER NOT GERMANY
Edna Ferber, speaking at a
book and author luncheon at
the Astor Hotel, in New York,
said:
“German books are Germ
any, ..Hitler is not Germany.
American boys and girls
should be told that Germany
is Goethe, Schiller and also
Thomas Mann. Italy is not
strutting, pompous little Mus
solini, but Dante, Pirandello
and, Toscanini. Russia is not
Lenin or Stalin, but Chekhov,
Dostoievsky, Tolstoi, Stravin
sky—mudic, power, poetry and
color.”
