Turn ley as a combination store dwelling vwent up in flames yes terday afternoon. * Turnley, who / was slightly scorched about his head and h&nds, stated he had carelessly thrown a match to the floor and retired to the front porch when his attention was called to the whimpering of two cats he had on the premises.* LJpon investi gation he discovered the blaze, and it was only after his lone attempt t<# cope with the situa tion had failed that he sent in a call for the Southern Pines fire department. Headway made by the fire be fore their arrival and lack of a sufficient water supply were obstacles too great to overcome by the firemen and the volun teer bucket brigade, and in short time the building was a roaring mass of- flames. The property, owned by Turn ley’s step-son, Chafles Alton Green of Carthage, was a total loss. There was no insurance to cover the loss, which amount fed to about $2,000.

HARLOW Herb Graffis’ magazine Golfing for April picks a first ten in American amateur golf which has been giving the golf writers plenty of opportunity to express their own opinions concerning the relative ability of these players. Pinehurst will be interested in learning that Richard Chap man is ranked second to Idarvin Ward, by Golfing* This will start a Pinehurst argument, immediately, 'there is hardly a Pinehurst critic that would place Dick Chapman ahead of George T. Dunlap Jr. as a golfer. George doesn’t get a mention in Golf ing’s list. The reason for this, of course, is because George did not play 'enough in big fime competition last year. Bill Holt, Syracuse, is ranked third, Wilfred Wehrle is fourth and the others in order are Art Doering, Chicago; fWPlie Tumesa, New York? Harry Todd, Texas; Vincent D’Antoni, New Orleans; Don Schumacher, Dallas and Edwin C. Kingsley, Salt Lake City. This writer is^ suspicious that in selecting this grdup, the edi tors of Golfing wanted to make the first ten representative from a geographic standpoint, j Given honorable mention are Ray Billows, Poughkeepsie; Harry Givan, Seattle; Chick Harbert, Battle Creek; Tom Sheehan, Detroit and Andrew Szwedko, Pittsburgh. This last name is in teresting. Can the Notre Dame backfield be coming into All American golf?

GERMANS TO REVEAL DOCUMENTS FOUND IN OSLO FOREIGN OFFICE Von Ribbentrop Invites Diplo mats and Journalists to Con ference Today to Hear Latest From Propaganda Front. BERLIN. — Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop will deliver per sonally to foreign diplomats and the foreign press, a message of a closely guarded nature to which the German government attaches great importance. In Berlin, ago g with speculation which in large measure over shadowed news of fighting in Norway^ the following explana tion from a usually well in formed source seemed plausible, although \ it could not be con firmed : Von Ribbentrop, favored Hit ler statesman, will disclose what was found by German invaders in the Oslo foreign office re garding connivance between Great Britain and Norway for making Norway the northern flank of the Allied war front.' Announcement of the foreign minister’s statement said only it would be a/declaration of the Reich’s goWmment pertaining to the “political situation,” but the unique gesture of assemb ling foreign diplomats, military attaches and the press empha sized the significance with which Germany views the statement. It will be. read at ^7:30 this morning and broadcast by all German radio stations. TOMORROW’S PAPER jS Tomorrow’s issue of the Pine hurst Outlook will be the last one of thi 1939-40 season. “GENERAL” CUMMINGS HERE Homer Cummings, former j U. S.

A. Julian, treasurer of the United States. All are golfers. Trondheim Will be Prize of Win ners in Present Conflict Which, Marks Heaviest Artillery and Infantry Action Since Start of War. I NEAR SWEDISH BORDER (By the Associated Press) / STOCK H OLM.-A savage clash between German and British troops was reported in. progress last ^niglit along the: narrow Gudbrandsdalen R o a di northwest of Lillehammer in the? central Norwegian fighting zone,, with the result still in doubt.. The report of this encounter fol lowed that of the border cor respondence of a Stockholm newspaper that German columns had captured the hotly contested town of Roros in the valley of the Glomma river a little over 100 miles northeast 4 of Lille hammer and only a score Of miles from the Swedish border. ported at several points 35 miles southwest Pf Lilleham mer where Norwegian forces - were reported to be making a stand. Norwegian sources in Stockholm said that British, troops advancing southeast from Otta/ and Germans, advancing northwest from Ringbu, along the Lillehammer highway, now are actively at grips with each other. In the Boros sector Norwe gian troops and Allied reinforce ments were reported to have re treated 20 miles to the east. Spch a German victory »in the, bitter; fighting on the Glommar. River,- if it is a fact, entirely' ' reverses the military picture at; Roros. Earlier, the Allied and. Norwegian forces had brought?' artillery into action to throw ■ back German advance units to a point at least five miles south 1 of Roros while British fighting planes ^and anti-aircraft . guns cut sharply into German aerial { I activities. . | The , Allies and Norwegians* moving down the Glomma River valley from their concentration N point at Storen, 30 miles south \ of Trondheim, had met the ‘Ger- . man column at Roros.
