PINEHURST OUTLOOK) VOL. XXV. MARCH 30, 1922 NO. 1G MISS GLENNA COLLETT WINS ANNUAL NORTH AND SOUTH Championship for Women Miss Glenna Collett, the young Rhode Island star and winner of many golfing events throughout the country, added another important victory to her list by winning the annual North and South Championship for Women, which came to a close at Pinehurst on Wednesday of this week. Mrs. M. J. Scammell, Oak inont, was runner-up, and Miss Harriet Shopard won the consolation trophy from Mrs. John D. Chapman in a match that ended on the home green. The field was made up of eleven divisions and the ohiunpionship division included a number of the best women golfers in the country. Miss Collett finished second in the nullifying round with a round of 49 40 S9; met Mrs. Harold E. Foreman of Chicago, in th? first round of match play whom she defeated, 8 and 7, and her brilliant playing won her the second match round from Mrs. R. H. Barlow of Philadelphia, and the semi-finals from Mrs. C. F. Ubelacker of Areola. She then advanced to meet Mrs. Scammell, who had defeated Miss Edith Cummings, the medalist, in the final struggle, whom she defeated, 4 and 2. It is fitting that Miss Collett should make her first big golfing win here in Pinehurst, an American village unique in the history of golf on this side of the Atlantic. She is sure to win many more important championships and to be one of the prominent figures in the game for years to come, for she has started on her auspicious way by winning the North and South Championship. She has won many other golfing honors, in cluding the Boston district title and other minor events, but the North and South is her first big win. She Avon the medal in the qualifying round of the national championship at Hollywood last fall but was eliminated from the cham pionship match play by Miss Edith Leitch. Later, in an invitation tourna nit't at Philadelphia, Miss Collett ob tained a victory over Miss Cecil Leitch, th more famous of the British sisters. Miss Cummings was deemed Miss Col ktt's most formidable rival, but Mrs. animell unexpectedly eliminated her a"d won the honor of being runner-up t" Miss Collett in the finals. Those golfers who do not believe great ly m long hitting as a prime factor in ginning golf matches must agree that 3:; a woman's championship such a long (Continued on Page 9) 0 i pinehurst (By Edgar A. Guest) There are other spots on this gracious earth, where the sky is just as blue ; There are scenes like these, with the gentle breeze, and the kindly sunshine too, Th ere are haunts made fine by the stalwart pine, where the charms of a June are known, But I've learned today in a curious way why Pinehurst stands alone. There are gardens fair in the sunny south where the rich magnolias bloom, There are fairy scenes with the wealth of greens, and the scent of a sweet perfume. But more than a sky where the sun shines high, and more than ridge of pine, Or a sea or a lake, God needs to make an earthly golfers' shrine. The Lord had lavished his treasures rich all over the orb of earth, Yet some are base with the common place, and some are lost to mirth, But Pinehurst holds in its friendly folds the lure of an honest grip, And a manhood fine adds to gifts .divine the wealth of its fellowship. It isn't the pine with its towering fronds upraised to the God on high, Or the fragrant air that men come to share, and it isn't alone the sky. It's the handclasp true, that they seek anew, the smile on the cheery lip, And they come again to be care-free men in a brotherly fellowship. Here honor counts more than the victory, and a man is more than his gold; Here love of the game means more than the fame, or the joy that the prize may hold. Oh, Pinehurst gleams with the finest dreams, and the best . that we mortals know, It is rich in the things that a true life brings, God grant you may keep it so.

STRONG FIELD ENTERED IN CHAMPIONSHIP Amateur and Open Winners of the open and amateur North and South championships at Pine hurst this . year will certainly deserve their honors, for the fields in both these? events will surpass any that ever started over the local courses. More good golfers, professional and amateurs, are registered in Pinehurst at the present time than ever assembled anywhere save for a na tional championship. While the starting list of the amateur event will not be completed until Monday morning next, enough fine players have already entered to give the event national rating. The 36-hole qualifying round in the amateur will be one of the most severe tests that players have ever been put to in America, for there will be but sixteen places in the top flight. In looking over the list of starters it is easy to select more than thirty golfers who are capable of playing low enough to make the first flight, so there will be many disappointed ones on Tues day night after the trying grind over the championship and Number 3 courses. It is safe to estimate that nothing worse than 165 will make the championship division . At this writing it seemed certain that Francis Ouimet would run up from New Orleans, where he has been on business, for the championship, and Jesse Guil ford, national amateur champion, is ex pected at any minute. These players are entitled to be termed the "class" of the field, with W. C. FoAvnes, Jr., Tommy Armour and A. L. Walker, Jr., as the next best favorites. But these are not all. There are a. host of other players capable of taking the measure of any of the five named provided they fall into their best stride and find the other fellow a bit off his game. Ouimet, Guilford, Fownes and Armour, it must be remembered, have not been on the sand greens for many days and an ay not develop the proper touch in season. Among other likely golfers here are John A. Gammons of Providence, Ed ward Lowery of Woodland, Harold Weber of Inverness, Joe Wells of Wheel ing, Leslie Conley of Siwanoy,. former trans-Mississippi champion, Henry Top ping and Hamilton Kerr, Donald Parson, John D. Chapman, Arthur Yates and Frank C. Newton, Fr?d B. Elliott, Al Mendes, C. J. Dunphy, George Ormiston and E. L. Scofield. (Continued on Page 11)
