DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD * by ROBERT E. HARLOW N State newspapers are being generous in publishing photographs and write-ups concerning the revival of polo in Pinehurst. A num ber of editors have devoted comment in their columns to the sport. * * * On the golfing front: A few qualifying scores in the fifth Palm Beach mixed four somes: Miss Grace Amory and Robert Sweeney 35-35—71; Patty Berg and Milton Bright, 38-40—78; Miss Shirley Ann Johnson and T. Suffem Tailer, 39-41—80; Mrs. J. J. Lawler and W. B. Langford, 40-41—81; Mrs. Mary Snellenberg and Dick Chapman, 40-44—84; Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Stevenson, 48-43—91; Betty Jameson and Ray mond Guest, 39-39—78. % * * Last winter the United States Golf Association posted warnings to all hotels and resorts, that making special rates to lady golfers during the winter season would not be tolerated — it should be noted that this winter the finest field of women golfers to play over the citrus circuit is now in action in Florida. What’s the answer ? * * * In the golf cliib champions’ tournament at St. Augustine, in which Charles Whitehead broke the competitive record when he won the medal with 33-33—66, four players broke 70 and 31 broke 80. Scores by players now in Pinehurst: Bobby Dunkelberger 69, Frank Strafaci 73. * * * More than 2,100 season tickets have been sold for the 1940 United States open golf championship to be played at the Canter bury Club, Cleveland. These tickets are good for seven days of practice and the championship. The price is $6.75. Clayton Heafner, North Carolina pro who is knocking at the door in the big time, is called “Golf’s Tarzan” by George Trevor in The New York Sun. Because Heafner breaks clubs over his knee, Trevor says he is passing through “his adolescent years.” * * .* Bobby Jones is shooting some low scores in Atlanta in prepara tion for the Augusta National. It was these low practice scores that' made Bob favorite for the first three years at Augusta. After that he held on as favorite from sentiment. Men with money bid him in for more cash than any other. In the last two years the odds on Bob have been going down with leaps and bounds, and in this year’s book he will probably be about 15 to one. * * * The golf championship for professional baseball players started in Tampa, Florida, on Thursday. Wes Farrell was the winner last year after a wild final with Paul Waner.
