THE PINEHURST OUTU
HAIL THE -ADVERTISERS
Winter Golf Leagqe to Spend the
Week Playing Golf for 36 Prizes
-Xo He Preientd In Cali to tta
jloys Orer There. Col, Tread,
well Iead In the legion
By the time this reaches your eager
.sHit, Col. H. H. Treadwell will already
jiavc marched in and taken possession of
the Carolina hotel,' at the head of that
merry legion, the Winter. Golf League of
the Advertising Interests. . Heralded
afar, rejoicing as they" come, ' pervading
the vicinity with the spirit of play and
putting ginger into formal precedents
of the links, this annual invasion has
come to be an Institution. It is always
a great day in the Sandhills when the
trumpet sounds their advent. Marshalled
on all sides by the wit and talent of the
metropolis, the W. G. L. of A. I. makes its
Tictorious entry upon a week's vacation
in command of Louis Hamilton, leader of
the hosts, humorist lauriate, wielder of
the mighty midiron; counseled by Uncle
D. McKim Lloyd, Nestor of the League;
mobilized by Frank "W. Nye, and financed
by R. 0. Wilson, secretary of the Treas
ury. And on either flank are to be found
the executive committee, executing no
body knows what diverting manouvers,
men of many devices; here we behold
I 'op Freeman, father of handicappers,
in venter of more ways of staging a golf
ing frolic than all others put together;
A. C. G. Hammersfahr, him that filled
the whole sad world with delight one
short year since with his plan for the
defence of America with the niblics of
the Metropolitan Circle; Louis B. Do
Veau, bowed down under the weight of
the trophies and rewards he has for this
occasion made and provided; and bring
ing up the rearguard that most vital and
essential personage of all, the king of
the jesters, the master of ceremonies, the
inventer and manipulator of events, the
.songsmith and humorforger, none other
than Captain R. O. Haubold of the New
York Athletic Club himself.
Saturday morning will find the whole
brigade upon Jhe historic links, bent, up
on the first flight of a golfing carnival
that surpasses the understanding. Let
us say at once that they will be divided
into four classes, with four eights in each
class, by a preliminary try out on Mon
day. Today they are fighting it out in
foursomes, handicap style.
Once lined up in column of fours, and
the tournament will proceed in close -formation
the rest of next week, every , man
standing a fifty-fifty chance of getting
av.-ay with a prize. For in magnificent
array these trophies await the result - not
01l.v of the week's play, but of the; re
turns every evening, and such contem
poraneous contests as only these1 masters
tan work into a tournament.
Meantime the ladies will be holding a
Parallel tournament and putting affray.
PLATING AGAINST PRUSSIA
A striking and Very far reaching inno
vation in the prizes is announced for
this year. Instead of the conventional
silver salvers and festooned wreaths, the
winner of every trophy, scheduled will re
ceive its value in cash. This money all
hands have agreed by acclamation shall
be presented by the lucky winner to some
one of the great agencies for supplying
comfort or material to the soldiers of our
army or of our Allies.
Due to the large connections and the
tremendous influence of this body it is
expected that this example will prove of
real and important value to the Red
Cross and allied Organizations. This is
the recognition of the principle that the
time .has come .when men can no , longer
spend their money upon' superflotis trink
ets. Incidentally, of course, this action
is. the more likely, to be followed because
the average man feels more satisfaction
in winning a mede for the army than he
would in acquiring a vinegar cruet for
his bookcase.
The climax this year as always will
come at the big dinner that famous din
ner without a lid, and without a limit.
FIIO.T1 TIME FJIOXT
Interefttlng- Talk Given at Com
munity Merylce Sunday Xiglit
At the regular evening service held in
the Community house by the Rev. T. A.
Cheatham last Sunday evening Dr. A. A.
Pfausteihl delivered an inspiring and
vivid picture of the invasion of Belgium
and the heartrending flight of the
stricken people. He told of the heroic
attempt made by an improvised corps of
Englishmen to save Antwerp, and of
their shattered retreat into Holland. The
effect of the talk was immediate and
electric. On every hand the members of
the congregation Avere heard to say that
they had never before had the slightest
conception of the brutality and depravity
of the German advance and that any
jman who refused to give his whole soul
( to the rescue of these people was not fit
,to be called an American.
Mra. Ilihoi' Fabulou II a a
Any good cause is hereby particularly
recommended to Mrs. JVf. T. Bishop of
Washington, who is staying at the Caro
lina. Hearing that the Pinehurst Branch
of the Red Cross was actually in need of
funds for material to make bandages, she
declared it was an outrage particularly
outrageous since any lady with an hour's
tinie cOuld easily make a big inroad into
the .deficit. . To prove it, she repairedto
her room with some scanty but decora
tive materials, and in a short while re
appeared with a gorgeous and wonderful,
creation which was modestly called':. a
"bag. " This she offered to, sell on the
ticket plan, twenty-five " cents a chance.
And she did. With the simple result
that she presently gave the proceeds,
fifty dollars in the coin of the Republic
to the Red Cross, and the creation to the
lucky number, held by - Commander Elia
of Rome.
