Five or Six Smart Pacers Will

Owners of Entries Are Caro

FOUR RACES ON BILL
By Wayne Groves
Spectators at Saturday’s mat
jnee at the Pinehurst track can
depend on seeing some sharp
action in the Classified Pace, an
event that will be Composed of
five or six very capable pacers.
This race might be called “the
Carolina Special,” as three of
the prospective starters are
owned in the Carolinas. Sym
bol Prince 2:071 and Symbol
Piney 2:04, are both the prop
erty of Mr.1B. C. Mayo of Tar
boro, N. C., while Symbol Eta
wah 2:01 h is owned by Mr. Joe
Frazer of Chester, S. C.
Again, this event could ap
propriately be named the “Sym
bol S. Forrest Free for All,” as
no fewer than four of the avow
ed starters are sons of this
noted sire. Back some seven
teen years ago the Penny broth
ers of Greensboro, N. C., were
winning races on the Grand
Circuit and at the major half
mile track meetings, with this
fast Oklahoma bred stallion,
Symbol S. Forrest 2:011, that
later passed into the ownership
of B. C. Mayo of Tarboro, from
whose farm has come a long
list' of his sons and daughters
that have raced prominently in
all sections of the country.
Frank Bowers of Greenville,
Pa., who is training his private
stable of five horses here, will
pilot the fourth member of the
Symbol S. Forrest tribe in the
handsome little stallion, Symbol
Hal 2:021. The only nag sched
uled for this event that is not
a member of North Carolina’s
royal line of pacers, will be
Brady Hanover 2:02 i, that hails
from Machias, Me., where he
is owned by Sullivan & Maw
hinney. Brady Hanover and all
of the S^anbols, excepting Sym
bol Haly-are members of the H.
M. Parshall stable. These horses
&re all well advanced in their
work, all have two minute speed,

Polo Program Next Season
To Be Bigger Than Ever
Bigger and better polo for the Pinehurst season of 1940-41
was assured yesterday when Earl Shaw and Merrill Fink signed
a contract with Pinehurst Inc., to conduct polo here, beginning
the first Sunday in November, 1940 and carrying through until
the first week in May 1941.
^ The hew contract with the polo leaders includes fall and
spring tournaments and regular Sunday matches at such periods
as are deemed wise. During the mid-winter months the local
team may play in Florida. It is felt that a first class Pinehurst
polo team can do much to publicize Pinehurst by playing away
from home.
According to the agreement* the Pinehurst polo fields will
[ be ploughed up, levelled, fertilized and seeded. This work will be
dpne under the supervision of Donald J. Ross and Frank Maples,
whose wide experience in turf conditions in the Sandhills makes
them the ideal persons to accomplish the best results.
The old Pinehurst livery stables where the ponies have been
quartered this season will be rebuilt, and sufficient added stalls
to take care of seventeen ponies will be made available at the
race track. The Pinehurst Polo Club had sixteen ponies quartered
here this season. Next year the Pinehurst Club will have 25
ponies in the old livery stables, and the stalls near the field will
be for privately owned ponies. .
Dates for the tournaments have not been set but the fall
event will probably be played during the last week jn November
or first week in December. The teams are likely to be Pinehurst,
Fort Bragg, Camden and an army team from Philadelphia. , If
possible, there will be six entries. 1
A similar schedule as has been worked out this season will
be in effect with practice games on Tuesdays and Thursdays and
games with visiting teams on Sundays. This schedule makes it
possible for polo players to come to Pinehurst with assurance of
being able to get into competitive action in practice games. The
better players will be used on the Pinehurst team ii^ Sunday games.
The spring tournament will be held in April, by which date
Mr. Shaw hopes to have established the game here in such a man
ner that a representative entry will compete. The date will be
set with the expectation of inducing Florida and Aiken players
to compete. ^
Mr. Shaw and Mr. Fink wish to express their thanks to all
those who helped in the promotion of polo in Pinehurst this
season. ' \v'h- ”
Mr. Fink will play during the summer with the Blindbrook
Polo Club in Portchester, N. Y., and Mr. Shaw 'will return to
Chicago, where he is connected with the Oakbrook Polo Club.

RIVERS AND HARBORS
{231,000,000 BILL
HIT BY VANDENBtRG
X v,;'yn-/ ■
WASHINGTON, April 24.—
{IP) —t Senator ‘ Vandenberg fR
Mich) contended today it was
“basically indefensible at a tihie
when the treasury is worse than
bankrupt” for Congress to “talk
atkmt” approving a $231,000,000
rivers and harbors bill.
Opposing the Senate measure
to authorize a seven-ye&r pro
gram embracing 141 projects,
Vandenberg said Pre aid e n t;
Roosevelt had expressed
sition to such legislation at this
s&tsion.
Much of his speech was di
rected against a $66,000,000 au
thorization for a Tombigbee
Tennessee river waterway. ,
MORE SWEDISH GOLD
WASHINGTON, April 24.
—{£*>—Sweden shipped $18,
243,024 in gold to the United
States last week. This ‘amount
increased to $154,000,000 that
nation’s transfers of gold to
the safety of American
vaults since the beginning of
the European war.
Swedish shipments, regard
ed officially here as . a pre
caution against possible in
vasion, haVe been outranked
in recent months only by
huge British Empire trans
fers in connection with air

chases in this country.
PEACE IMPOSSIBLE IN
HATE-FILLED EUROPE,
KIWANIANS ARE TOLD
Col. Charles F. H. Johnson, of
Passaic Says This Country
Should Spend Billions Arming
to Insure Against Foreign
Attack. -
There was very little to con
sole those who hope for a bet
ter world, in the words of Col.
Charles F. H. Johnson of Pas
saie, president~~of the 'Botany
Worsted Company of New Jer
sey, spoken yesterday at the
weekly luncheon of the Sand
hills Kiwanis Club, held in the
Pilot Restaurant in Aberdeen,
when Host Pope served an ex
cellent repast.
Col. Johnson, who has spent
many years in Europe, is of the
opinion that the old world is so
filled with hate that peace is
practically impossible. He ad
vised against the United States
entering the present struggle,
and warned that the entire Eu
ropean group might “gang up”
against this country if “they
thought they could get away
with it.”
Col. Johnson stated that in
the last war, when this country
went to Europe to save democ
racy, a “lousy job” was made
of it.
