THIRTY-SIX hole tie
play-off between T. R.
Newbold of Chevy
Chase, and George W.
Keates of Brae Burn,
brought the third annual
St. Valentine's golf tournament to a bril
liant close, a gallery of several hundred
people holding their breaths while Mr.
Newbold made the winning putt on the
thirty-eighth green.
Mr. Keates had a bit the better of it on
the morning round, maintaining a gcod
lead and finishing three up, but Mr.
Newbold rallied in the afternoon, evening
the score on the twenty-seventh, gaining
the lead on the twenty-eighth and from
that point to the end the big gallery was
kept on tiptoe. It was stroke for stroke
to the thirty-fourth, Mr. Newbold gain
ing the Tead again on the short thirty-
fifth, but Mr. Keates evened the match
on the thirty-sixth green.
News of the state of affairs spread
quickly, and several hundred persons
joined the gallery. Mr. Keates had the
honor on the thirty-seventh and sent a
beauty straight down the course, while
Newbold made the trap at the right
and lost a stroke in getting the ball into
play. Mr. Keates' midiron approach
landed him in the pit, and Mr. Newbold
followed suit. Mr. Newbold made the
green from the pit, Mr. Keates placing
the ball at the left of the green, landing
it on the green on his approach. Both
players had fifteen-foot putts, both laying
the ball dead, the hole being halved.
Still holding the honor Mr. Keates
drove on the thirty-eighth, slicing badly,
the ball landing near a couple of oak frees
so that a stroke was lost in getting into
play. The third try was short; the
fourth placing the ball across the pit at
the left of the green.
Mr. Newbold sent a beauty straight
down the course, but flubbed his second,
carrying the pit and landing at the left
of the green on his third. Both ap
proaches were dead to the hole, with M r.
Newbold one to the good and a six-foot
putt for a win, which he made amid
breathless silence. There was a roar of
cheers and applause and a dash of blue
as Mr. Newbold's little eight-year-old
son Charles dashed across the green cry
ing gleefully, "Papa wins the big cup !
Papa wins the big cup !" A moment later
he was lifted aloft to fold his arms around
his father's neck and shower him with
kisses.
The contest for the first division con
solation was a pretty one, W. P. Schotz
of the Wheaton Golf Club, Chicago, de
feating David Fleming, Jr., of Mt. Airy,
Philadelphia, by three and two on the
sixteenth green, after a contest which
and J. II. Clapp of Chevy Chase the con
solation, an extra hole being necessary.
J. Roberts Allan of Ottawa won the
fourth division and E. L. Scofield of
Weeburn, the consolation, an extra hole
being necessary.
The fifth or special division was won
by E. F. Cook of Philadelphia, and the
consolation by N. Harrison of the High
land Golf Club.

EDDCATIONAL CONFERENCE
Pinehurst Selected as Place of Meeting
for Tenth Annual.
Four Hundred Prominent Educators
Will be Aeinlled Here
from April O to 12.
S A RESULT of a con.
ference held during the
week at The Carolina, be
tween President Robert
C. Ogden of the Con
ference for Education in
the South, which has in trust the Rocke
feller fund, Dr. E. A. Alderman of the
University of Virginia, at Charlottesville ;
Dr. S. C. Mitchell, professor of history
at Richmond College, at Richmond, Vir
ginia; and Mr. William A. Blair of the
First National Bank of Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, one of the state's promi
nent educators, the tenth annual Confer
ence for Education in the South will be
held here from April 9th to 12th, inclusive.
The organization is the only one of its
kind in the country, and its purpose is to
promote interest in public education with
particular reference to the rural school,
its reputation being international and its
members the leading business, profes
sional and educational lights of the
country. The conference will draw to
gether about four hundred people of this
character.
Previously, President Ogden explained
to The Outlook, the conferences have
been held in large cities, but the execu
tive committee desires this year to hold
the meeting at a retired place where there
may be a great deal of conference and
careful study. Pinehurst has been se
lected as admirable for this purpose in
every way, and it is confidently expected
that the result will be the most helpful
meeting in history. "What we want,"
concluded President Ogden, "is oppor
tunity for heart to heart talks with the
prominent people assembled, and we feel
that we shall find this here."
The committee left delighted with their
impressions of the Village and its equip
ment; satisfied that the international
fame which the Village now enjoys is
justly merited, and the members are an
ticipating their return in April with
pleasure.
