PINE-HURST OUTLOOK VOL. XXIV. NO. 0 MID-WINTER GOLF NUMBER, 1921 10 CENTS WINTER GOLF LEAGUE OF ADVERTISING INTERESTS ADVANCE ON PINEHURST LINKS C. B. FOWNES WINS TIN WHISTLES R. M. Purves Wins League Championship By Robert E. Harlow More than 200 members of the Winter Golf League of Advertising Interests swept into Pinehurst on a special train from New York, Saturday morning, Jan uary 8, and, joining a legion of their brothers from the West, proceeded im mediately to engage in a seven-day golf ing carnival on the Pinehurst links. Holding steadily to the exalted position he gained in the qualifying round, and rendering obsolete the old superstition that a medal man has no chance for the trophy, R. Murray Purves of the Wood land Club, made good his claim to the supreme title in the tournament, and car tied off first honors in the Champion ship division. As a preliminary to the big event, and to enable Donald Ross, who had charge of that part of the program, to provide proper handicaps for the field, the League members held an 18-hole handi cap medal round on Saturday, which went to E. D. Moore of the Siwanoy Club with the low net score of 90-20 70. The Championship battle started on Monday. Purves won the qualifying round with a score of 81 and worked his way through to the finals where he met and defeated Lou Hamilton of Garden City, 4 and 3. Had Hamilton been able to sink three putts of two feet and under on the first nine holes he would have made the match much closer. Usually a fine putter on Pinehurst greens, the Garden City player was badly off and his failure to get down short putts gave Purves a winning lead early in the match. Hamilton did not hit the ball well off the tees and in the fairway. Purves out drove him off practically every tee and was more certain with his irons. Only in running the ball up from short dis tances off the greens did Hamilton sur pass Purves, but his bad putting offset his accurate approaches. They halved the first hole in fives and Purves took the lead at the second when he sank a four-foot putt for a par four and Hamilton was short of the green with his second and just on the edge with his third. Hamilton appeared to have the third hole won when he ran his third to within four feet of the cup, and Purves, having driven into a trap, was off the edge in three. Purves ran his fourth dead, giv ing Hamilton a putt for a win.

This put him off and he topped his drive to the fourth, took two to get out of the trap his ball was in and hit his fourth into another pit. Purves won with a four. Purves won the long fifth with a five, as Hamilton's drive stuck in the side of a trap and he required a seven. The Garden City player won the sixth with a three and the seventh with a six, when he ran his fifth to the rim of the cup.
