Send for circular. At the Unit Link. On account of the great interest in the medal play record for the cup it has been decided to oiler a first and second prize cup. The first will be larger but of same design as the one first ottered, and the cup now on exhibition will be used as the second prize. The plav for the cup has been most remarkable, the records having been broken by first one man and then another. It was thought when the cup was first ottered that any score under a hundred would win, but some of the players now seldom make a score over a hundred. The occasional games between Mr. Dutton and "Tucker'' have created a great deal of interest. A few days since they had a very interesting game. "Tuck er' gave Mr. Dutton 12 strokes on 18 holes and Mr. Dutton won. The score was Mr. Dutton 88 net, "Tucker" 94. On the 5th inst., another game was played which was won by "Tucker' by 13 strokes. "Tucker" has made now 9 and 18 hole professional records 11 for 9 holes and 84 for 18. Mr. John P. Green, first vice-president of the Pennsylvania railroad, made his annual visit to Pinehurst with his family last week. The whole family are enthu siastic golfers and spend most of their time on the links. There is a most remarkable difernice in the beginner's start at golf. The other day a gentleman well along in years isked of a friend to be allowed to try a drive, lie took hold of the club as if it were a crip-testing machine, stepped up to the first tee and in a position that would naturally have sent the ball through the windows of the club house, he made a dab at the ball that reminded the writer nf n woman killmjr a fly with a newspa per. The ball went flying over the bunk er and landed within 3 leet or tne green. IIU friend praised the result but said he did not swing correctly. Then his friend Mine to the tee and with a few prelimi nary flourishes and explanations made a nPi fect s wins: in the best oi iorm aim sent the ball between fifty and sixty .,,-,ia The old gentleman won the Hole hv t wo strokes. This score was reversed, however, on the second tee, and by the tune they had reached the fourth the be- inpr ,lp'ided he was getting "staie, as he missed hitting nine balls out of ten and topped the tenth, nftpn nman starts in taking lessons and works hard at the game and when he begins to play runs up a score tnai is A mptriil oroirression approacmng in finity, while another who has taken no logons and has not Piayeu u talking to the old golfers of how he would have made the fourth in 4 if. After all it comes to this that a beginner if he intends to make a good player should follow the experience of genera tions of players, as it is not likely that a man can in a few months discover better methods or even work out the same methods that have taken the lifetimes of so many men to perfect. Hut if a man only intends to play a few times in his life let him bat away at the ball in any position in which he happens to find himself. He will find that he improves rapidly for a while, but just as lie thinks he is doing well lie finds that others are passing him and he discovers that those that are improving are playiug in good form. The reader of this who lias never played golf will say that I began the last paragraph by saying "if a man only in tends to play a few times" and end with the inference that he plays a good many games. Ask for an explanation from a golf player. liitdh'N Unit Tournament. Last Saturday proved the most attrac tive and interesting day of the season on the Pinehurst (Jolf Links, the ladies of the Holly Inn playing a golf match and afterwards giving a very charming tea at the club house. The same afternoon the match between George (. Dutton and "Tucker" was played and was followed by an interested crowd. The day was a beautiful one and the match was entered into with much spirit, Mrs. White and Miss Dowling leading oil' and playing in line form. Then came Mrs. Grant and Miss Thompson, Mrs. Wright and Miss Sanderson, Mrs. Dut ton and Miss Keyuolds. Miss Reynolds being the "scratch girl" covered herself with glory, making the nine holes in 59. Miss Reynolds had only played over the links a few times and her score showed superior playing, 43 being the heat record made by any of the 'men who have played around many times. The club house presented a cheery sight to all, victors or defeated. A bright fire burned in the fireplace, and the table with the dainty luncheon and the teakettle boiling, quite transformed the room from its everyday appearance. Miss Sanderson, assisted by the Misses Gamble, served tea to about fifty guests, the men all coming in after their play. The tea was very informal and it is re gretted that they have not been weekly occurrences. fiolf Keoord Ilroken. Last Monday Dr. E. 1. Pfarre made the best amateur record for 18 holes that has been made this season at the Pine hurst links. His score was as follows : Holes -1, 2, 3, 4, S, 6, 7, 8, 9 4, 5, 5, 5, 8, 8, 4, 4, 5-43 4, 8, 4, 7, 7, 4, B, 4, 6-46 Total, 89 This is a very remarkable score and will be hard to beat. Willing o Work. "Let me see," said the editor to a new acquisition, a graduate of the College of Journalism. "I hardly know what to put you at." "Until you decide," replied the man, "I'll sit down and write a few leading editorials.'
