NO DOUBT about it,
there never was an Ad

the eighth annual, per

First page top of column,alongside scare
head display wasn't in the same class.
It was the whole front page in colors
with the balance of the paper only an in
cident ; but two things to attract the eje
Pinehurst and Golf. Fifty-four prizes
there were worth not less than $3000,
and in addition to the tournament itself,
two medal play handicaps, a four-ball
handicap match, a medal and match play
handicap for women, putting competi
tions for men and women, and the ban
quet, not to mention the good fellow
ship and six days under God's blue skies.
No doubt about it, there never was an
Advertising Men's tournament the equal
to the eighth annual ; a memory ever to
be cherished by the participants.
When you get down to facts and re
sults, you find L. A. Hamilton of Engle
wood, at the head of the long procession

division match play cup ; his attendant
G. II. Barnes of Apawamis, who' 'played
round" with "Lou" in the final as far as
the twenty-seventh hole where he retired
a "good loser" as he aptly expressed it,
ten down and nine. Next in line is J. P.
Knapp of Garden City, tournament win
ner in 1909, who captured the consola
tion from VV. E. Truesdell of New York,
also the second gross qualification prize.

Phillips of Allegheny and E. M. Purves
of Woodland, in the second; Charles
Presbrey of Fox Hills and Guy Pierce of
Evanston, in the third; V. C. Longley
of Wannamoisett and II. K. McCann of

IT IS PINEHURST FOREVER
In Song and Toast it Rings Forth
True at Carolina Dinner
One 11 unci red and Fifty Ooller lire
A grain Memorable Week and Good
Cheer Reigns Supreme
GATHERED at Satur
day evening's dinner
at The Carolina, one
hundred and fifty
golfers lived over again
the memorable week
and in every heart there
dwelt but one sentiment
PinehurstForever I
In song and toast it rang forth true, in
every face it glowed. Of speeches there
were few, of cup presentations many ;
but mainly it was a gathering of old
friends whose pain at parting is softened
because it is only au revoir, the affair not
without its sentimental side in presen
tations to Mr. William C. Freeman, chair
man of the tournament committee, and
Mr. Leonard Tufts, owner of Pinehurst ;
with never a moment when good cheer
did not reign supreme.
Shortly after nine o'clock President
S. Keith Evans, who acted as toast
master, began calling the trophy win
ners foward, from time to time introduc
ing the speakers, among them Mr. E. F.
Clymer who presented to "dear old Pop
Freeman" an order for such an article
as he might select valued at $100, as a
visible eyidence of appreciation for his
work as chairman of the tournament
committee. Shortly after Mr. Tufts was
remembered with a "goatherd" gold med
al bearing the inscription "capricornus
emeritus;" various remarks following the
acknowledgements.
Among the most amusing speakers of
the evening was Mr. Elmo Calkins who
told of "Some Traps I Have Met." "The
old course," he commented, "is like a
piece of Swiss cheese and the new, like
a porous plaster. There are places on
the new course where you can balance
a ball on the fair green between two
traps if your hand is steady ! I couldn't
do it, however, because my ball had
vertigo!" Mr. G. II. Barnes in accept
ing his cup, explained how trying his
match with "Louie" had been because
he had promised Mrs. Barnes that he
would bring home no more cups "such
as presidents donate and servants clean".
Consequently, he decided he would
rather have the clock or runners-up
