THRILLING BOUTS
TO MARK DEBUT OF
BOXING HERE TONIGHT
Newest Sandhill Sport, Spon
sored by American Legion, Ex
pected to Draw Overflow Crowd
to Amusement Center
Tonight’s the night! At 9:15 a
gong will ring at . Ray John
son’s Pinehurst Amusement Cen
ter, ushering 'in a new Sandhill
sport—BOXING. The American
Legion is sponsoring the pro
gram.
There will be several sizzling
preliminary bouts, leading to the
top bill, the battle between Ralph
Terrell and Ham Braboy, two
big negroes who are accustomed
to hurl the leather in fast pro
fessional fashion.
The action will be well dis
tributed. .For instance, Marvin
Porter, 179 pounds of rolling
muscle and trigger feet, champ
ion of the 600 caddies of the
Sandhills, is being challenged
by the sprightly 170-lb. Herbert
Halton, who is far from being
a pushover for the champ. Other
local bouts will be between Le
land Daniels, Southern Pines and
James Arthur of the Pinehurst
Race Track, and another cannon
fire scramble is between Ellis
McKenzie of the Pinehurst Laun
dry and Red Houghton, also of
the Race Track.
Don’t get caught short for a
seat! For reserved seats call
Pinehurst 3664. Other seats, first
come, first served—and they’re
limited.

COLORFUL HORSE SHOW
ATTRACTS BRILLIANT
SOCIALITE THRON.G
Little Squire Wins Open .Jumping
Sweepstake, and Finds Great
Favor With Crowd; Splendid
Contests in All Events,: ^
MANY AT LUNCHEON
By A Staff Correspondent
SOUTHERN PINES, Feb. 23.
—The sun came out today to
smile on the colorful spectacle
of a classy field of jumpers,.
| hunters, show horses and expert
riders, as they performed in 14
classes for the pleasure of an
enthusiastic crowd in the first
annual Southern Pines horse
show, held in the ring and over
the- difficult courses at the’ Coun
try Club,
A number of the finest jump-,
ers in America provided keen
competition and excellent enter-;
tainment as horse after horse;
came into the ring under expert
handling and made faultless
jumps over the various barriers.
The tooting of automobile, horns
and the cheers of the crowd
were the reward for the perfect
precision of the jumpers. ....
It took a really good horse
to win in any class in this
show, which got- off to a glor
ious start and will surely be
come a permanent and brilliant
fixture in the sporting events
of Southern Pines and this mid
South resort community.
Little Squire Pleases
As predicted, the great cham
pion, Little Squire, only 13.2
hands high, and snow white,
owned by Mrs. William J. Ken
nedy, Dedham, Mass., was the
outstanding horse in the show.
His stable mate, Erin’s Son, was
a close second in the day’s jump
ing. Both were ridden by Mickey
Walsh.
Lady Durham, the fine jump
er of - Mrs. W. 0. Moss of the
Mile-away stables, Southern
Pines, also was up to expecta
tions and gave Little Squire a -
grand tussle for honors in the
class for open jumping. The
judges called Little Squire-and
Lady Durham into the ring for
a jump off, after each had given,
superlative performances in this
class. In the jump off Lady Dur
ham failed to take the first
jump, throwing her rider, John-^
ny Moss, and Little Squire won
the event by clearing the bar. 4
It was a great day for the
horsey folks. Beauteous ladies,
army riders from Fort Bragg,
the finest horsemen of the
community, and children, came
into the ring on their favorite
mounts to delight the crowds.
Luncheon Served
The show started in the morn
ing and lasted until sundown.
At noon, luncheon was served*
in the Country Club, and a
gay throng filled the dining room.
The riding attire of the com
petitors added to the scene.
Standing in the lobby of the
club after luncheon it was in
teresting to watch the gentle
men as they called for their
bowler hats to return to the
ring. One gentleman, upon be
ing presented with his bowler,,
said in the most approved styler
' “Than ’kyew.”
Jerry Mack and his orches

the Dunes Club, played delight
