The outstanding, episode of the week
lias been the amateur-pro match between
Ouimet and Adair on the one hand and
and French and Mothersele on the other,
and Pinehurst is still talking about the
triumph of the pros. OuWt; himself
describes the match as one of the hardest
of his life and it has certainly been a
long while since ' Pinehurst witnessed
the like of it. The main point is that
Ouimet V went over the Championship'
Course in 71 and did not win a single
hole, and Emmett French, Southern
Pines and Youngstown professional,
made a record of 07 for the course,
coming in with a score of 31. Three
years ago Mike Brady had a 67 on
this course, but alterations since then
have made the course much more diffiV
cult.
Adair went around in 37-37-74, but
did not get in on any hole except to
halve the first when Ouimet took a five,
missing a two foot putt. Owing to a
downpour of rain the night before, the
greens were very slow; this resulted in
many missed putts for the amateurs.
The professionals displayed better team
work and secured 'their victory by a
margin of 5 and 3, with an astonishing
best ball of 63 against their opponent's
70. Practically speaking, Ouimet '&
round was the best ball for his side.
Mothersele came to the rescue of French
on four crucial occasions during the
match, and on the 17th hole scored a
beautiful two.

Mr. James P. Doyle, night clerk at the
Carolina, has added further to his repu
tation as a vaudeville artist by his second
entertainment at the Sanatorium at
Montrose, given last week for the diver
sion of the patients. His efforts were
warmly received, and he was ably as
sisted by Miss Marjorie McKenzie, who
r?ndercd a number of pleasing vocal se
'ections. Miss Maud Radcliff was a
member of the party.
Mr. and Mrs. H. K. Castle who are
well-known in our island possession of
Hawaii, are registered at the Carolina

Mr. K. Jones of Aberdeen, N. C, was
a guest of Mr. J. D. Baker, Jr., at lunch

The tennis stars are beginning to
rr-ach Pinehurst this week. The entries
for this tournament are exceptionally
good and there is every indication that
this tournament will rival in interest the
Golfer's North and South, which is say
ing a good deal in a golfing community.
-The Throckmortons are at the Carolina,
together - with Miss Edith. Sigourney,
who lost the Indoor Championship last
week to Helen Pollak. and Miss Marion
' 7indersein, a playe?. ell-known in Pine
hurst. Other stars out on the courts
daily are a trio registered at the Berk
rhire, Messrs. Bidwell, Sweetser and
Croker. Richard Harte is resting in
South Carolina, and since he has sworn
not to touch a racket while in the South
he mav not contend in the Pinehurst
tourney. . '
Forbes Wilson, son of Willie Wilson,
Pinehurst and York Harbour golf pro
fessional, celebrated his tenth birthday
bv defeating his father. by four up in
the course of a match in which Wilson,
senior, allowed the youngster two strokes
on the long holes and one stroke on the
short ones. - Willie went around in the
low seventies, but the little fellow seized
the lead at the. start by winning the first
hole in par and the next three in a stroke
over par and robbed his father of a half
on the. fourteenth by gathering in a
birdie four on that hole.
'
The playing of Mrs. W. A. Gavin in
the Women's North and South was very
closely watched in Pinehurst. She ran
away with, the consolation of the first
cV. vision, sweeping Mrs. E. E. Harwobd
off her feet in the finals, with a score of
'7 and 5, showing- a 39 for the outward
journey, and denying the Chicago favor
i' e the satisfaction of winning a single
hole of the match.
George Ade, America's popular
humorist and author of Fables in Slang,
is making a protracted stay at the Car
olina, having came up from Bellair last
w?ek. He is accompanied by his old
friend and companion Mr. 0. C. Wells
of Chicago.
Just previous to their departure for
the North the W. E. Truesdells enter
tained at the Holly Inn at dinner Mr.
and Mrs. Donald Ross and Miss Lillian
Ross.
We have just been reading about the
Chicago blizzard and the zero temper
atures prevailing in the Middle West.
Trains are hours late, wires, are down
rv( Chicago is snowed under and we are
.sorry for thoee people who left Pine
hurst for the North last week.
Miss Louise Van Wagenen of Rome,
N. Y.. deghted her audience, at the Car
olina at the Sunday evening concert with
two charming songs by Vernon Eville,
and a popular encore, " Long, Long
Ago." Miss Van Wagenen 's voice is rich
and resonant in quality, beautifully
modulated, and handled with the skill
and assurance of a true artist.
Alec Ross, he of the mighty swipe and
brilliant, casual putt, has left for
Northern links, which he probably finds
buried in a mantle of snow.
A wonderful thing occurred at the
.Children's Easter Egg Hunt on the Vil
lage Green. While about one hundred of
Pinehurst 's little citizens were hunting
for eggs on the green, a sure-null Bunny
Rabbit popped up out of the thicket and
dashed off down through the pine trees
to a place where he would not be dis
turbed. No doubt in many a little mind
there is a dark and mysterious con
nection between that rabbit and the
Easter eggs.
Miss Margaret Ivanivious of Brook
lyn, N. Y., is a guest of Mr. and Mrs.
Fred B. Shrove.
i.
Dr. and Mrs. J. S. Brown of Mont-
clair, N. J., are the first in Pinehurst to
shut up their winter home and make
tracks for the bleak New Jersey shore.
Clinton Scollard, the poet, has left for
Asheville, N. C.
Mr. E. G. Fitzgerald, the popular
manager of the Holly Inn, ventured out
on Course Number 3 the other day. In
playing his second shot on the 18th hole
his Colonel 31 collided with a large
robin in mid-air. The robin was killed
instantly, and Mr. Fitzgerald's oppon
ent was forced to concede him a birdie
on that hole, which won the match.
There is no sign of a waning season
at the Holly Inn. The house is full and
on Tuesday night the special dancing
attracted a large number of the hotel
guests and a representative number of
the cottage colony.
On Tuesdav night Mr. and Mrs. L.
D. Pierce entertained at bridge Mr. and
Mrs. Eberhard Faber, Mr. and Mrs. C.
S. Waterhouse. and Mr. C. L. Becker.
