THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
'S.n
look and keep looking at that portion of
the ball which they wish to hit. If "After
studying all these conditions and those
advocated by experts and knowing some
thing on anatomy, I realize that this in
vention will be a big benefit in helping
the novice and those not trained to watch
the ball, to correct this greatest of all
golf faults. H"I believe that with the
USe of this invention, learning the game
will become greatly simplified and the
players who have been having things
pretty much their own way on the links
will begin to find others, who are using
this device, making rapid strides to
their level."
Dr. McGillicuddy says he received
offers from all parts of the United States
for his invention since it was patented,
January 26. H He says he would like to
have the article made in Worcester and
probably will start some movement for
this purpose soon. H Few golfers have
seen this device, but those who have
seemed sure that it will be a success.
If Dr. McGillicuddy was especially pleased
to receive the favorable comment on it
from Ouimet.
Note And if this doesn't go Colonel
Bogey one better excuse us editorial

Pen Picture of Old Southern Home
Mr. Eugene Hall of Louisburg, N. C,
has written a novel which should interest
all visitors and in fact all who are inter
ested in the life of the Southern home
before the war. ' ' Vernal Dune," is the
title, the name given to the plantation
about which most of the life of the story
centers. The author gives a vivid picture
of plantation life in the first quarter of
the nineteenth century, and ho would
havo us fool the contentment of the
slaves and their enjoyment in serving,
nay idolizing "Mars Theo and all at the
gret hus. ' ' We are told in the preface
that the threads of the story have been
gathered from sources so authentic as to
make them fixed facts. This helps to
make real in our minds the charm of the
life of "ye goodo oldo tyme. ' ' The fun
and humor of the negroes add not a little
to the pleasure of the volume.
