With an estimated crowd of
over 500 people attending dur

Believe Hitler and Duce Plan
'Safety Ring’ Around Reich
(By the Associated Press)
Adolph Hitler, in a two and one half hour conference with
Premier Mussolini yesterday was believed by neutral observers to
have enlisted the aid of Italy in neutralizing a “safety ring”
around the Reich.
Observers believed that if Germany started an offensive
against the Maginot line Italy would then consider the question
of throwing her military weight in the Nazi scales.
Mussoliiii’s reply to the latter proposal in the conference at
Brennen Pass could only be conjectured. The official announce
ment of the talk emphasized the cordiality of the two leaders.
Italian observers expected that Sumner Welles, American ambas
sador would be advised tomorrow concerning details of the con
ference.

Sam Snead Is Hitting Ball
By Lester Rice
Golf Editor Joumal-American,
New York
Sam Snead, Jackson to his
bantering comrades because that
is his middle name, is on the
ball again and this may be
that bountiful harvest year
everybody has been visualizing
ever since the West Virginian
captivated public fancy two
winters ago.
"I’m beginning to feel like
playing golf again,” the Sweet
swinger said while he rifled nail
after ball toward his indolent
ball hawk. “I never do any
good unless I feel sharp and I
think Pm going to do all right.
I’m down to 173 right now and
I’m liable to blow away if the
wind gets any rowdier, but I'll j
be heavier right soon.
“I’ve been hittin’ the ball well!
enough but my putting isn’t
anything what it ought to be.
Been hitting most of my shots
awfully well. Some of them go
out of gear but I remember
only the good ones.”
Snead still is the beau of the

Sixteen-year-old Jeanne Clme,

Verry, after having .trouble with
her wood shots oi} the four re

never played until today. She
carded 7 on the 15th, 6 on the

Byron Nelson, Here to Defend
Title He Won Last Year/Will
Face Siege Guns of Game in
Pinehurst Links Classic.
ON FAMOUS NO. 2 COURSE
By Laurence Leonard
Sports Editor Greensboro Daily
News
The rigid test of the Pine
hurst Country Club's famous
number two course will be en
countered this morning by the
nation’s ranking linksmen in
the 38th renewal of the North
and South Open championship.
In event the winds continue
as they were yesterday, the
Donald Ross course will be
more rigid than ever. In prac
tice rounds, the top-ranking
shotmakers found the course
difficult, and few scores were
reported below par, <
On hand to challenge Byron
Nelson, the current National
Open champion, for the title he
won here last year are all of
the leading shotmakers with the
exception of Jimmy Demaret, >
the Texan who was called back
to his Houston club, and Ralph
Guldahl, twice National Open
king, who is with his ill wife
in Coral Gables, Fla.
Lending1 an international touch
is Jim Ferrier, twice winner of
the Australian Open and ama-.
t e u r championships. Ferrier
played with Vic Ghezzi in the
amateur-pro Sunday and was
hitting his shots well.
Among the other challenger*
will be Sam Snead, who is now
beginning to hit the high spots
once again after being hospi
talized much of the fall and
winter; Horton Smith, who on
Sunday teamed with Marvin
(Bud) Ward, the National ama
teur champ, to win the Na
tional pro-amateur title at St.
Augustine, Fla.; Henry Picard,
P. G. A. champion; Paul Run

MRS. ZEUE WINNER
OF FOILS TOURNEY
FOR BUSS TROPHY
The Pinehurst Outlook com
mitted a serious crime on Sat
urday when in desperation to
get all the news while it was
still news (a very commendable
motive in the newspaper busi
ness) it lifted scores of the an
nual Silver Foils championship
tournament, without waiting for
an official 0. Ki from the ef
ficient executive secretary, Mrs.
J. Pryor Williamson.
It seems that eleven mem
ber^ were permitted to "skip
school” Saturday and go to the
races. These ladies played their
final round on Sunday. The
Outlook published a brief no-"
tice Sunday morning, based on
the figures on the Silver Foils
board as of Saturday night.
