fMf THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK ggg . 2- ITS FAME ENCIRCLES EARTH Like Mountain Peak Pinehurst Golf Rises Supreme Among Many Foothills IfJg-ures in Fact, Temely Told, Sug-ffeitt Condition Incomprehensible to XKany IBecauteof Magnitude ENCIRCLING the earth there is now no land where the sun does not shine upon Pinehurst's golfing fame, for like a mountain peak, it rises supreme among the foot hills which circle the globe. In less than ten years, ten short years, this accomplish ment, this establishment of an universal ly recognized fact and yet, the real under standing of what golf means here is be yond comprehension, because of its magnitude, to those who have not visited the Village. Briefly, the three eighteen-hole courses in use, not including a fourth nine-hole course which is being extended to eighteen-holes, provide for four hundred and thirty-two pairs, eight hundred and sixty-four players daily, based on starting every five minutes. Naturally, two hun dred and sixteen pairs, four hundred and thirty-two players may play thirty-six holes daily without congestion; provision for half the average guest population of Pinehurst. Likewise, it will be readily seen how tournaments of two hundred or more entries may be handled without in any way interfering with the regular play of the non-competitive element. Here you have it in figures of fact, for the average starting time is every four minutes instead of five. And this is just why Pinehurst leads, just why it will continue to lead, because its golf is fact! The $2. 99 bargaiu-day-sale element is eliminated. There is no "come early and avoid the rush," no Christmas "do your shopping early;" but always the con sciousness that golf is just as accessible as the fresh air and sunshine. And thus it is that sooner or later you yield to its subtle influence. Indifferently, perhaps, at first, but soon with your whole heart, for its joy is unending. And all this means something, means that Pinehurst has and continues to rec ognize the possibilities of the game as they have never before been recognized and developed. Thus increasing years will find the Village rising higher and higher among the foothills which span the globe until even telescopes at historic St. Andrews will be trained upon the "mountain" when the sky is clear ! The season's Country Club tourna ments, starting with the Thanksgiving week event and continuing through April include the following : Eighth Annual Autumn Tourna ment November 23, 24, 25 Sterling cup for best qualification score.

MIDWINTER TENNIS TOURNEY Annual Championship Ranks With Very First of Country's Leading Contests Full Week JBeg-innf ng- JTuuuarj Including: Men' Sing-le, Double and Women' Single fm THE ANNUAL Mid winter Tennis Champ ionship,inaugurated last winter, completes a triad of the leading American sports : golf, tennis, and trap shooting. As com petitive golf and shoot ing tournaments of in ternational importance have evolved as a natural consequence at this the country's leading exponent of outdoor life, so has tennis and its success has been significant of its future possibilities. That it has a place in southern winter sports has also been recognized elsewhere, notably at Nice and Cannes in France, Mentone and Monte Carlo in Monaca, and Pasadena, Los Angeles, Coranado and Del Monte in California ; thus offering a wide range of opportunity for the many who are not content that the season should end with the summer. Planned on the same broad, compre hensive and high-class lines as all com petitive events here, reputation building was not necessary and the result is a place among the very first of the leading championships for the "second annual,' scheduled for January 29 to February 3 inclusive. The SDlendid cronhies mo- A J. vide for winners and runners-up in men's doubles and singles and women's singles, with the possibility of special mixed doubles. Covering a wide range of ter ritory the tournament committee includes Messrs. Irving Wright of Boston, Ray mond D. Little of New York, James P. Gardner of Chicago, Henry Clark Bridg- ers of Tarboro,N. C.,and Howard Bissell of Buflalo. Accessible by fast trains from north r west and south, the Village is but "night's journey," making a week's sport with little loss of travelling time, a prime con sideration. The superb courts here are also universally marvelled at, their ex cellence due to the experience gained in perfecting the golf course putting greens. Socially the week will be a merrv one including many affairs arranged in honor of the visitors. Other events in the sea son's schedule include: Women's singles February 21, 22, 23; men's singles, Feb ruary 27, 28, 29; Club championship, gold medal event, men's and women's singles and mixed doubles, March 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. 1G. In addition, there will be the usual special events of which there are many annually, for no sport here i more generally enjoyed. Friend In the Pine Orove The children will find both old and new- friends among their animal pets in the Pine Grove, for the summer has been a most satisfactory one, the new vermin- proof cages affording desired protection.
