DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW '
O. B. Keeler is one of the sentimental sports writers of Amer
ica. Bobby Jones is one of the individuals upon whom Keeler
showers his emotions in his stories about golf. Mr. Keeler must
have felt very badly when Mr. Jones was forced to retire from
the Augusta battlefield because of an injured back. Perhaps this
was Mr. Jones’ last farewell.
At any event, Mr. Keeler wrote himself a piece, so get out
your handkerchief and read this possible swan song of Mr. Jones
and Mr. Keeler. It appeared under Mr. Keeler’s signature in The
Atlanta Journal, which covers Dixie like the dew.
BOBBY RETIRES
It was almost too beautiful, the weather and all, and the tight
scoring. And when, at 4:30 o’clock, Bobby Jones, the master of
all the masters when the hair was down and the blue chips up —
when Bobby Jones came and told me he was through for the tour
nament — and would not play Saturday ; that he was checking out
-— checking out with that 76 in the second round, I came darned
near sitting down there on the emerald slope of the practice green
and behaving like a broken-hearted baby.
It was right, of course — it was the thing to do. As Bobby
said, he was doing the tournament no good; and he was killing his
left shoulder, whaling away at shots with his right side, when he
could knock that ball no more than 200 yards, and scrambling

CLASSIFIED TROT ON
MATINEE PROCRAM TO
BE HIGHLIGHT EVENT
By Wayne Groves
The Classified Trot, one of
the four events carded for the
Pinehurst Matinee at* the Pine
hurst race track next Saturday
afternoon, promises to be a
highly entertaining feature. Two
of the five entries in this race,
Playdale 2:074 and Robin Han
over, will be making their sec
ond matinee start of the sea
son, as this pair recently com
peted with the crack trotters at
an Aiken, S. C., matinee and
showed well in that fast com
pany.
The appearances of Cleo Han
over in this race will be of par
ticular interest to those who
have never seen , the world’s
champion trotter, Greyhound
1:554 in action, as of all ^he
trotters in training, this • mare
most nearly duplicates the
“Grey Ghost’s” noted space de
vouring stride. We do not
mean to intimate that Cleo Han
over can trot as fast as Grey
hound, but she does have al
most the same way of going as
has this great champion. In
fact Cleo is. a champion of sorts
herself, this by reason of the
unusual stunt of pacing to a
record of 2:07 and one hour

LONDON, April 10.—British
warships pounding again and
again at the German invaders
of Norway, were reported to
night in dispatches from the
north to have pointed their Mg
guns at Oslo, demanding the
surrender of the city by its
Nazi garrison, during a bitter
day of sea battle from one end
of the “Hitler protected" Scan
dinavian "kingdom to the other.
Two Norwegian cities*' \ Ber
gen and Trondhjem, already
were reported, without* confir
mation, to have been taken by
British landing parties after one
day of German occupation.
Delayed dispatches from Swe
den did not say what happened
at Oslo after one p. m.. (7 a. m*

deadline for the surrender of the
city expired. - ' ~ • ;
