There was considerable action at1 the
Club Sunday afternoon when three ex
hibition matches were played for the
benefit of the golfers who enjoy taking
an afternoon off and following a match.
It was only natural that the foursome in
which Davy Herron played should draw
the largest gallery. Herron was paired
with H. C. Fownes, 2nd and played
against Parker W. Whittemore and Don
ald Parson, two of the foremost amateurs
in the Pinehurst Winter colony. Whitte
more and Parson won easily, 6 and-4.
Whittemore 's 76 was the best ball of
the roun1, and he and Parson had a best
ball of 72 against 76 for Herron and
Fownes. Herron had an , individual
round of 77. He did not get into his
stride until near the end of the match his
last four holes being 3, 4, 2, 4.
Two professional matches were played.
Emmet French and George Bowden de
feated Charles Mothersele and W. C.
Sherwood. French had the best ball of
the four. Harold Calloway and Joe
Capello defeated Walter Howe and Er
nest Silva, one up. '
Emmet French, the Southern Pines
professional, who has been going at such
a merry clip on the local course this sea
son, added another remarkable achieve
ment to his list on Tuesday last, when
he set a new record for the Southern
Pines -course with 32-35 67, all putts
holed out. Par for that "course is 70.
The new record was made in an amateur-professional
match in which French
