Tennis et Golf" The title of a Paris-published slick magazine covering the two above specified sports is appro priate to the scene at the Pine hurst Country Club these days. The welcome thud of balls smacking the superb clay courts near the Club revives happy memories of earlier years when galleries packed the bleachers to —^watch such tennistars as the red-headed Budge brothers—Don and Lloyd—Elsworth Vines, Vi- ney Richards, and the fiery little Filipino, Wayne Sabin, display their virtuosity and temperament during “tennis week.” Spectators not only saw rank ing national and international pro fessionals perform, but were also treated to an exciting week of matches between top-seeded ama teur collegians. Players-for-fun regularlj^ seen on the courts during the fall, spring and early summer seasons ‘way back included Alice Vail (Mrs. Richard) Tufts and her brother, Herby Vail, Liv Biddlfe, Don Sherrerd, Judith Jenks (Mrs. Van Buren Ilsley) and Ed King. Congratulations to the new Pinehurst Tennis Club, formed last season with Dot Sneed as "First Family" Honored A Pinehurst Country Club members’ tournament established seven years ago, the Tufts Me morial, scheduled for Thursday, honors the memory of members of Pinehurst’s first family, as far back as Founder James W. Tufts. If James’s son, Leonard ever actively participated in Pine hurst’s principal industry—golf— we don’t recall it, but he kept his finger firmly on the pulse of the resort and even when housebound for several years because of ill ness, was acutely aware of and helped direct the activities which have made this the World’s Golf Capital. “Mr. Leonard’s” hobby was cattle; in his time, Pinehurst maintained an excellent dairy. He was one of the pioneers of the Ayrshire Cattle Club, devoted to the work of proving sires. Pine hurst cottager, John Sibley, owner of a fine almost century-old cattle farm near Spencer, Mass., tells us ^ that a photograph of Leonard Tufts was placed, after his death, in the Dairy Shrine out in Iowa.
