mCEMBEE 15, mo. PAGE S The Week in Pinehurst - S'HK'V-, "A m ....... f ftfv: W VMPrW.i.tMWaM. - .Ml MWUMI I1IMXM M x (y fir .A: i t.1 Mrs. Frederick P. S. Harris of London, England, and the Stanmore Country dub, playing in a four-ball match at Pinehurst, qualified for her place in the Hall of Golf Fame at the end of her drive for the eleventh hole on Number One course when she made the hole in one. The hole is a relatively short one the distance is only 153 yards but Mrs. Harris had to play in the face of a strong wind and used a driver for the shot. The ball carried to about twenty yards short of the green in a direct line with the flag and finally rolled into the cup. A search of the statistics at the Pine hurst Country Club not only shows that no other hole in one has been made here by a woman player but also fails to re veal any record of a similar feminine achievement on any other course on this side of the Atlantic.

Mr. Robinson's many friends will be delighted to know that he brings with him this year his bride, who was Miss Eleanor Francis Marsh of Lynn, Mass.
