THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK, PINEHURST, N. C.
SUNDAY, JANUARY 21, 1940
jd CROWD expected
If OPENING GAME OF
POLO CLUBS TODAY
Most is for Cowl Weather, as
rn Sport Again Takes its
Pl8te „„ Sandhills Competition
Program
Eagerly awaited by polo fol
lowers, the formal opening game
in What is to be a revival series,
Wween Sandhill Polo Club and
4 Blind Brook team, takes place
on No. 2 field at Pinehurst this
afternoon, starting at 2:30 p. n;.
Expectations are that “auto
mobile row" at the game will
stretch a long way around the
field, for there is every indication
that the weather will favor the
event, which has been twice post
poned.
Earl Shaw and Merrill .Fink,
who have ventured to revive the
Ipony pastime at considerable ex
penditure of money and time, de
serve the most thorough-going
support of all the public. When
polo was a vogue in Pinehurst
in past days the sport gained
wide publicity for the Sandhills,
the press services carrying re
ports of the games, and sports
editors playing up the contests in
their columns. And this can all
happen again.
So it behooves sports fans, and
Sandhill folks in general, to get
tack of the polo clubs by attend
ing the matches, and help in
again making the games a big at
traction for the resort section.
It^ means not only added sport
of an extremely spectacular and
exciting type, but it also means
added business.
Intensive workouts over al
most a month have, sharpened
both riders and mounts, and the
opening skirmish is sure to find
the players out for individual
glory, and riding and hitting all
they know.
All the players today are ex
perienced mallet wielders, and the
spectators can be assured of an
evenIy balanced and fast exhibi
tion. The refereeing will be done
yCol. George P. Hawes, who is
Jvei'y capable official, with W.
' EaEer acting as timekeeper.

Polo Game Today in Pinehurst
PINEHURST SCOREBOARQ
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
POLO TODAY
See you all at the polo game.
Polo will be played today according to the predictions of the
weatherman, for it will be clear and the temperature will be rising.
Earl Shaw and Merrill Fink desrve the support of the Sand
hills today when they bring the sport back to Pinehurst.
We may expect some good contests in Pinehurst this season
provided proper support is given.
Remember the hour. It is 2:30 p. m._ today.
SANDHILLS GOLF LEAGUE
The amateur-professional tournament, second on the program
of the Sandhills league, will be played on Tuesday. The Tin Whistle
Club, which furnishes amateur partners for a number of the profes
sionals will be engaged in their own weekly tournament, postponed
from Saturday, on Monday, and according to the regulations of the
league, this action moves the amateur-pro forward one day.
The first event of the amateur-pro league was a big success.
Out of a possible 30 pairs in the opening event at Pine Needles, 28
played. It is expected that on Tuesday a full roster will play over
the Mid Pines course.
The amateur-professional league should be given every bit of
support possible from every club in the Sandhills. It will lead to
some entertaining and interesting competitions.
NAMES DESERVE RESPECT
There are rumors that the horse show to be put on in Southern
Pines on February 23 at the Southern Pines Country Club will be
called the Southern Pines Horse Show. This is right and proper*.
Pinehurst horsemen will unquestionably support it. Junebug and
Bill Tate will win thpir share of the jumps, without a question, and
will probably provide one of the best “acts” in the show. At least
these boys are in sufficient demand to indicate they are one of the
best horse acts in this section.
Eyery sportsman should support every worthwhile event in the
Sandhills, regardless of where it is held, or the name by which it is
called. i (
And by the same token, events which have been associated with
Pinehurst should retain the Pinehurst name.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
At a meeting in Chapel Hill Thursday, attended by Associated
Press franchise holders in North Carolina, Scoreboard represented
the Pinehurst Outlook, recognized as the tiniest daily newspaper in
America having both an Associated Press franchise bringing in news
via wire and an engraving plant.
As far as the Associated Press is concerned the Pinehurst Out
look is entitled to the same protection on news breaks as the New
York Times, or any other of its 1,400 clients.
It cost the A. P. $5,000 per day to bring in the European war
news -during the first month of the war. Since then radio short
wave, censorship and cable saving methods have reduced the cost
more than half, but the bill is still a large one. The A. P. has 170
staff correspondents covering the European war/ besides adequate
staffs in the Orient.
Gathering the news of the world is only one phase of the activity
of the A. P. In the New York laboratories, methods are being devel
oped for transportation of news, and photographs by new machines
which will astound the world when made public. Sending 1500 words
a minute around the world is one of the developments.

AT THE THEATRES

Today and Monday at 8:30
matinee Monday at 3:00, “Re
member the Night,” with Bar
bara Stanwyck.
- Southern Pines -
Tomorrow and Tuesday at 8:15
matinee Tuesday at 3:00, “The
Hunchback of Notre Dame,” with

The Forum Monday evening at
the Country Club, at which ]}r?
Walter H. Judd will speak <on
“What is Behind the Conflict in
the Far East,” will start prompt
ly at 8:30 in order that Dr. Judd
may make the 11:50 train south.
The biggest advantage a For
um has over a radio address is,
that at the Forum you are in a
position to ask questions of the
speaker, which is impossible, to
do to the voice coming out of the
radio in your own home. For
this reason there will be a per
iod set aside at the end of Dr.
Judd's talk for the purpose of
discussion. When he spoke at
Duke University last year, the
audience kept asking questions
for two hours after the sched
uled end. The time-table of the
Seaboard, Ltd., however, does not
coincide with a discussion of such
length on Monday evening.
If there are any questions on
Sino-Japanese matters that have
been puzzling you, and you wish
to make sure they are answered
by Dr. Judd, they may be,hand
ed in before the beginning of the
lecture.
POPE CALLS ACTION
OF PRESIDENT MOVE
‘AGAINST GODLESS’
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20—</P)
—Pope Pius XII, in replying to
President Roosevelt’s message
that he was sending Myron C.
Taylor as a personal represen
tative to the Vatican, praised the
action, and revealed that he could
see but “slight probability for the
cessation of war so long as the
present state of the opposing
forces remains essentially un
changed.”
The Pontiff called the Presi
dent’s action in appointing Tay
lor as “an exemplary act, of fra
ternal and hearty solidarity in
defense against the ‘chilling
breath of aggressive and deadly,
godless and anti-Christian, ten
dencies, that threaten to dry up
the fountainhead whence civili
zation has come and drawn its
strength.”
PHARMACISTS BOWL.
^The entire force of the Carolina
Pharmacy was among the many
bowling at the Amusement Cen\
ter last night. Apparently the
doctors seem satisfied that bowl
ing is a health game. “Dr.” Viall
and “Dr.” Cole were among those
enjoying the sport.
