THE TIN WHISTLES
MRS. L. T. BARR WINS RIFLE
CONTEST
Probably no golf club in America has
a more interesting schedule of events
than the Tin Whistles. It has taken a
number of years to bring the Whistles'
program to its present standard in
quantity and quality, during which peri
od tournaments of all sorts have been
tried out and the best ones retained.
The large entry list in each competition
attests to the popularity of the selec
tions made.
The Tin Whistles club is composed of
golfers who are either members of the
cottage colony here or who make regular
visits each season. It is composed very
largely of men who are active in other
Country Clubs during the summer, and,
for this reason, the members are able to
bring together some of the best ideas on
the game which originate in the leading
golfing centers of the United States.
One of the most interesting and unus
ual tournaments is known as the Par
Bogey, under the II. II. system. This
Ava originated by Major Harold E. Por
ter (Hohvorthy Hall) and always at
tracts all members of the Tin Whistles
who are in Pinehurst when it is contested.
A player who obtains a bogey or a
par is credited with as many points as
the par or bogey of the hole. Thus, a
contestant wins three points by playing
a par three-hole in three, or four points
for playing a par four-hole in four. The
same applies to bogeys. Birdies are
worth one more point than the par for
the hole, and an eagle, two under par, is
worth ten points.
Another Tin Whistle special is the
Three-ball Match in which twenty-seven
qualify at handicap medal play for
match play. The qualifiers are divided
into nine sets of three players. Each
member of a three plays against the
other two.. Six points are then battled
for. A player is credited with two points
for winning a match, ami one point for
tying. The winners -of the three's play
through until there is a final round with
three players.
The 54-hole, medal play, club cham
pionship is played in March over three
courses 18 holes on each. Other tour
naments scheduled aro a flag tournament,
four-ball best-ball vs. par; four-ball,
best-ball, medal play; swat-fests, mixed
foursome, and a number of medal play
tournaments with gross and net prizes.
The prizes awarded to winners in the
Tin Whistles tournaments are presented
to the club by members, and early in the
season Avhen they are all on exhibition,
they present an assortment of silverware,
cut glass, traveling bags, and articles ol
all kinds that would rival the wedding
gifts to an European princess.
James Barber of Englewood, New
Jersey, is president of the club. Other
officers are Leslie D. Pierce, Rochester,
Vt., and George W. Statzell, Philadelphia,
vice-presidents; Charles B. Hudson, New
Suffolk, Long Island, secretary-treasurer,
and Charton L. Becker, Captain.
Prizes for last week's rifle shooting
contest held at the Gun Club were award
ed as follows: First prize in the handi
cap tourney to Mrs. Lawrence T. Barr
of Pittsburg, who scored 135-10 145
cut of a possible 150 points. Mrs. L. F.
F. Wanner and Miss Elizabeth Fry of
Philadelphia, tied at 142 out of 150 for
the best net score. First prize in the
men's contest was won by Mr. Norwood
Johnson of Pittsburg Avith a score of 143.

Advantages of Membership in the
Mid-Pines Country Club, Inc.
The holder of a $2,500 share in the
Mid-Pines Country Club is an active mem
ber of the Club, with a voice in its man
agement as outlined above. The stock
holder member may be subject to annual
dues, but has no initiation fee to pay.
The by-laws for the first year (1921),
subject to change later, of course, if the
majority of the final stockholders so
elect, provide as follows:
1. Stockholder members shall be en
titled to a 10 per cent, discount on all
Club bills except annual dues.
2. Stockholder members shall have the
first right to rooms, at the Clubhouse.
An analysis of similar cases shows that
all the members of tlie Club will never
be there at any one time, and the house
is planned so that the proportion of
rooms to members may be kept such that
there will always be room for all who
want to come. The families of stock
holder members will likewise be welcome.
Whenever there is a surplus of rooms,
they will be let to the friends of active
members, subject to the approval of the
managing board or its representative.
3. Active members may introduce
their friends for the usual fees.
The profit from the patronage of other
than active members will, it is hoped, per
mit the stock to pay drvidends sufficient
to cover at least annual dues of the
stockholders. The Club is not intended
as a largely profitable investment, how
ever. Pleasure and not financial gain
is its object a combining of creature
comforts and good sport in a friendly
atmosphere. .
