10 CENTS
THE BIG SHOOT
F. D. Kelsey Wins Midwinter
and Tracy H. Lewis Takes
High Average for Week
After the snappy, frosty weather which
prevailed during the first two days of
the shoot, the weather man favored the
contestants in the Fourteenth Annual
Midwinter Handicap Target Tourna
ment, which held sway at Pinehurst dur
ing the week past, with delightful summer-like
weather, and the majority of the
shooters were at their best.
The week's program started on Mon
day with the Pinehurst Introductory, and
continued daily with special 150 target
events until Thursday, Friday and Sat
urday, when the Preliminary, Midwinter
and Consolation handicaps respectively
were shot.
Frank D. Kelsey, who hails from East
Aurora, N. Y., led the big field of con
testants in the Midwinter Handicap, the
stellar event of the week, by breaking 98
out of the scheduled 100 targets from
the 18-yard line, and added to his glories
by annexing first money in the Consola
tion event the folloAving day with 97
breaks. This is the first time that any
one has won two handicap events here,
and so far as is shown by the records
available, this feat has been performed
on only one prior occasion in this coun
try, when Woolfolk Henderson, the Ken
tucky star, won two handicaps in the
Grand American at Dayton, Ohio, sev
eral years ago.
Mr. Kelsey, who is sixty-six years of
age and the dean of the trapshooters as
sembled, was Frank Wright's predeces
sor as chronic champion of New York
State. He dropped two birds out of his
first 80 in the Midwinter, and when he
started his last string he faced the neces
sity of breaking the entire 20 in a row
in order to win the classic event, for S.
H. Sharman of Salt Lake City, shooting
from the 21-yard line, had already
wound up his session with 97 breaks.
The elderly gentleman was equal to the
occasion, and when his last taget went
to ruin he was greeted with a great ova
tion by the large crowd of spectators
that gathered to witness the outcome of,
his efforts.
His scores were:
Midwinter 20 20 19 19 2098
Consolation 20 19 19 20 1997
A number of the long distance men
gave a particularly good account of
themselves in this event. Sharman 's 97
took second money and Harve Dixon,
Missouri State Champion, led the 22
yard men with 96 and was tied for third
place by C. C. Fawsett of Washington,

In this event 37 contestants broke 91

aggregating $3,-340, ranging from $68.00

Chairmen of tournament committees of
golf clubs throughout the country would
do well to consult a program of the Tin
Whistles at Pinehurst, for they would
discover an unsurpassed assortment of
golfing competitions.
The most recent of this assortment
was a Round Robin tournament staged
on Number 2 course on Monday last, in
which the members qualified in two gross
and two net divisions of four players
each. The four's then played off, each
man having three matches on his hands
in one round. The gross divisions played
from scratch and the others with handi
caps. This made a very entertaining compe
tition. A player might easily, in the
circumstances, be two up on one member
of the four, all even with another and
two down to the third. It would even
be possible for all hands to end up all
even on the home green, thus calling for
additional holes, but it so happened in
this case that one of the players in each
four won from all his opponents.
P. W. Whittemore, Brookline, won the
major trophy in the final round of the
top four from Howard Phillips, T. A.
Kelley and F. T. Keating. Donald Par
son triumphed over his three antagonists
in the second four, and C. II. Lay car
ried all before him in the third four.
George Van Keuren and H. C. Fownes
brought home the bacon in the fourth
and fifth four's respectively.
A special medal play handicap for
those who failed to qualify in the gross
or net four's resulted in a victory for
Rev. T. A. Cheatham with 89-13 76.
J. M. Robinson finished second with
105-2877. . '
