TEEING OFF WITH deNISSOFF
Mrs. Spelman Hostess
To 50 at Sandhills
Woman’s Exchange Meet
A past president of the Sand
hills Womans’ Exchange, Mrs. Ly-
dig Hoyt of New York, now vis
iting here, was among eight ladies
attending the Exchange’s execu
tive board meeting, held last Fri
day at the home of the president,
Mrs. Robert C. Fisher.
Mrs. Henry B. Spelman enter
tained about 50 members and
guests of the Sandhills Woman’s
Exchange at her home Monday
afternoon.
After the first business meet
ing for 1962, refreshments were
served with Mrs. John E. Dixon
pouring tea and Mrs. Frank
Grameisbach pouring coffee.
The Exchange will hold a rum
mage sale in early March; as none
was held last season, it is hoped
this year’s will be highly success
ful. Mrs. Fisher and Mrs. Gram-
elsbach will be co-chairmen.
Mark Schorer, in his exhaus
tively detailed, and fascinating
study of the late Sinclair Lewis
(“Sinclair Lewis, an American
Life”), notes that Lewis was de
luged with letters of praise from
fellow authors, following the pub
lication of his first important lit
erary contribution, “the novel”
of the 20 th Century—“Main
Street.”
Among these was one “of non
literary source. . .” which Schorer
found sufficiently interesting to
quote, from “a nearly legendary
figure in Pinehurst, North Caro
lina:
Dear Sir I want to thank
you very much for using my
name in your wonderful story
Main Street—every one here
who has read the book say it
is wonderful. Just now there
is none on sale at news stand
so I am loaning mine to
friends. Again thank you I
am very truly yours
Annie Oakley"
(Ed. note: Probably written
during the time when Annie and
her husband, Frank Butler, were
living at the Carolina Hotel while
she taught shooting at the Pine
hurst Gun Club.)
Many others familiar or link
ed to the Sandhills wander in and
out of the 814 pages of the text—
Albert Payson Terhune, author
and raiser of the famed Sunny-
bank breed of collie, a first cou
sin of the late Col. George P.
Hawes of Pinehurst—was an
usher at Lewis’s first wedding, to
Grace Hegger, and later ,gave
Lewis credit for contributing
three chapters to Terhune’s book
“Dad.” .
Former Pinehurst cottager, the
late John Marquand, contributed
some wry anecdotes about the ca
pricious “Red” Lewis and Lewis
and his second wife, his biogra
pher mentions, were dinner guests
of Struthers Burt’s at the latter’s
villa by the sea at Hyeres.
Lewis’s second wife was, of
course, the late, “brilliant jour
nalist” Dorothy Thompson, whom
he met when she was a Berlin
correspondent to the Philadelphia
Public Ledger and the New York
Evening Post, and Chief of the
Central European Service.
Miss Thompson spent a part of
almost every winter visiting her
friends, the Wallace Irwins in
Southern Pines, and was, on at
least one occasion, a speaker at
the Pinehurst Forum.

39 points to run away with Aber
deen 39-19. .The Rebels made 14
field goals to Aberdeen’s nine and
Pinehurst had 55 per cent accu
racy from the line to Aberdeen’s
eight per cent.
The boys game pitted Aber
deen’s hot center, Bobby Alpert,
who averages around 25 points
per game, against Pinehurst’s own
high-jumping center, Marshall
Lewis.
. At the end of the first quar
ter, Aberdeen was on top 16-9. It
wasn’t until late in the fourth
quarter that Pinehurst trimmed
the ir lead and went under the
buzzer 45 all.
Pinehurst finally squeaked
through in the overtime to win by
a close 51-50.
Pinehurst had 59 per cent ac
curacy against Aberdeen’s 50 per

and Butch Hardy, who scored the

A large crowd from Pinehurst
went to West End on January 5—
and public support, by the way,

different story. This was an ex
citing game, even though our
cheers failed to spur the Rebels
to victory and the final score was
39-42.

ton scored 18 and 11 points re
spectively for Pinehurst. The Reb
