4 The Pinehurst Outlook nLiiiiiimiiii - i i .....n............m..i ........u..... tun... mm m m. ...mm......... 1 '''''.... Newton Wins Carolina Tourament f MUCH interest in the early season events at Pinehurst was again in evidence when forty odd golfers teed off in the qualifying round of the annual Carolina tournament during the week following the Amateur-Professional event and which resulted in a double triumph for Frank C. Newton, present holder of the North and South championship title. Newton's good round of 35-36-71 in the qualifying round was three strokes better than his nearest op ponent, and by virtue of successive victories at match play over Francis T. Keating, C. W. Deibel and H. K. B. Davis, the winning amateur in the Amateur-Pro event, he gathered in all the grapes in the tournament proper. Donald Parson, winner of the event last year, was on hand to de fend his title and qualified well up in the first flight with a round of 35-40-75, but after winning his first and second rounds of match play from J. D. Armstrong and W. E. Wells, respectively, he went down to defeat at the hands of H. K. B. Davis in the semi-finals. Parson's match with Armstrong was one of the 20-hole variety and was one of the hottest matches of the tournament. C. L. Sebring carried off the prize in the consolation section of the first division, defeating Francis T. Keating, 4 and 3. The Governor's trophy, to the winner of the second division, went to J. A. Stillman, who defeated C. B. Hollingsworth, 2 and 1, and Lee Steinf eld got the better of C. L. Becker for, the consolation prize after a nip and tuck battle of 21 holes. Another extra-hole match was necessary to decide the winner f. c: in the third division in which A. S. Higgins and B. H. Pelzer were the participants, Higgins gaining the verdict on the twentieth green. The consolation prize in this division was won by G. H. Fates, who trimmed II. G. McKeever to the tune of 1 up. In his match with Davis, Newton held faithfully to his splendid work in the qualifying round and played the final eighteen holes1 with a medal card of 71. Davis drew the first blood when he won the third hole after a brilliant recovery shot from the woods on to the green and went down irf 4 as against 5 for Newton. But his lead was of short duration, for he lost the fourth when New ton's second shot came to rest just a few inches from the cup for an easy three, and followed it on the fifth by driving on the green and going down in 2 putts. The sixth and seventh were halved and New ton took the eighth and ninth and made the turn 3 up. Davis took the tenth but lost the twelfth, leaving Newton still 3 up, and every hole from there to the seventeenth was halved, giving the match to New ton, 3 up and 2 to go. The summary: FIRST DIVISION First Round C. W. Deibel defeated P. B. O'Brien, 7 and 5; J. L. Weller defeated Eric Thomson, 2 up ; Thos. Morrison defeated R. R. Shar man, 1 up ; F. C.
