Defeats Fleming on Thirty-eighth Green
in Holiday Tourney.

S. I. Stix. also Win.
PRETTY battle for the
possession of the Presi
dent's or first division
trophy between T. S.
Lippy of the Seattle
Golf and Country Club,
and David Fleming of the Mount Airy
Club, brought the annual Holiday week
golf tournament to a brilliant close. At
noon, with the westerner five down, it
looked like a walk over for the Philadel
phian, and the crowd which put the
match down as a walkover has been
quietly throwing persimmons at itself
ever since.
Mr. Fleming started the afternoon
round in good form and held his lead
easily to the turn, in fact was five up on
the thirtieth green, but at this point the
Seattle man began to take notice of
things, striking a Bogey gait and win
ning every remaining hole but the thirty
fifth, which was halved, tying the score
on the thirty-sixth green.
It was not necessary to tdll the Satur
day afternoon crowd on the Country
Club House verandas what was up. The
excitement of the contest was in the very
air, and long before the players had
reached the first tee, the gallery was in
their background.
Mr. Lippy had the honor and sliced
badly on his drive, just missing the dis
tant pit at the right, and Mr. Fleming
sent a beauty straight down the course
which vanished over the distant hill into
the sky line. Mr. Lippy's long second,
however, was a brilliant recovery and
landed the ball close to the green in a po
sition fully as good as Mr. Fleming se
cured on his short approach. The Phil
adelphian approached short, the west
erner gaining the right to play last by a
closer approach, and Mr. Fleming was up
against a sixteen foot putt to save the
match. A bit he studied, then came the
stroke and down the ball went, while the
crowd held its breath. Mr. Lippy was a
trifle nearer the hole, but a ten foot putt
under similar conditions, is not the sort
of thing the average golfer is seeking,
but he made it and halved the hole in par
four.
Still holding the honor, the westerner
drove a beauty straight down the course
on the thirty-eighth, the Philadelphian
following suit, the balls landing not
twenty feet apart in the middle of the
course. Mr. Fleming was away, how
ever, and flubbed his second. Mr. Lippy
took an iron, and carried the pit, but came
dangerously near to the trap at the right.
Mr. Fleming's third landed in the pit and
it was apparent that it was all over, for
it gave Mr. Lippy two for a win on an
easy putt.
T. T. Watson of Buenos Ayres, won
the second division or Secretary's trophy,
from Fulton Colville of Atlanta, by three
and two, and W. K. Stone of Atlanta, the
the Massachusetts player at his mercy at
the turn, winning by seven up and six to
play, on the twelfth green.
There were two matches which it took
extra holes to decide, P. L. Lightbourn
of Bermuda, defeating D. L. Lyon of
Watch Hill, on the twentieth green in the
first round of the first division, and It. C.
Hatch of St. Louis, winning from Dr.
George S. Hill of Marblehead, on the
nineteenth hole in the second round of
the third division.

Fun and Frolic from Start to Finish
1T nnillant Galaxy of

HERE is an air of mys
tery and anticipation
'roundabout The Holly

appearance of news
papers cutting oft' a view
of the interior of the music room accen
tuate; an unseen something which
charges the air with mystery and sets
curiosity afire. The new arrival and the
old sojourner all feel it and, in conse
quence, the entire hotel is keyed high
in anticipation of the coming of the
4 M. & M. Minstrels."
They heed no press agent, they need
no advertising, for their brilliant ''first
appearance " illuminates the past and
their " return engagement " gives the
future new meaning. The date of ap
pearance is fixed for next Thursday even
ing, January tenth, and barring Provi
dential intervention, the company will
be here with its carload of properties

curtain rises until it falls, novel features,
local hits and laughter will be distrib
uted to the eager multitude.
The brilliant galaxy which makes up
the company, is headed by the world
renowned Doctor, George Sumner Hill

of " come early and avoid the rush."
