THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK MACHINE -LIKE GOLF THE JEFFERSON THE MOST MAGNIFICENT HOTEL IN THE SOUTH RICHMOND, VIRGINIA Carter Exhibits His Same Unbeatable Game in the Midwinter Tourney irianson Make a Canm Fight in Final. Tom If el ley to the Front M ' By William B. Hanna of the New York Sun rn LtLiu thirteenth annual midwinter golf tourna ment at Pinehurst played from January 4 to 8 inclusive, had en tries of a wide variety of ability, who brought in scores in the medal Lj round of a wide varie ty as to size; contained matches of a wide variety as to the closeness of the play, and was favored with a wide variety of weather. The tournament, as usual, was conducted under the Pinehurst sys tem, meaning that the entries were classi fied according oo their average ability, and giving to each contestant as nearly an equal chance as is possible to do. The winner of first prize in the first division was Philip V. G. Carter, Nassau, and junior Metropolitan champion. This youthful expert was the class of the field with a good deal to spare, but it may be mentioned in passing that he is danger ous in any field he might enter, and that on his present visit to Pinehurst he has played the best and most consistent golf for a prolonged stretch of anybody who ever visited here; and those who have played at Pinehurst take in some of the ablest golfers extant. The wnner of the second division was T. A. Kelley, Southern Pines; of the third, C. B. Hudson, North Fork; the fourth, W. F. Smith, Brae Burn. The winners of the consolation prizes were: First division J. L. Weller, St. Cath erine 's : second C. E. Gillett, Wykagyl; third, C. W. Watts, Hillandale; fourth, W. A. Sandford, Montreal. The special consolation, in which ; iayed those who didn't qualify, was won oy E. C. Blancke, Montclair. Such experienied and capable golfers as T. B. Boyd of S. Louis, W. E. Trues dell of Fox Hills, E. T. Manson of Fram ingham it was he who met Carter in the final C. L. Becker, Woodland; J. A. Clapp, Chevy Chase; S. Y. Eamage, Wa nango; F. S. Danforth, North Fork, and S. A. Hennessee, Cooperstown, fell by the wayside in the hunt for first prize, a handsome bronze. Carter's first round, the medal play qualifying round, was his best. He went over the course No. 2 on which the tour nament was played in 73, only two above par His other rounds were done in 79, 74, 84 and 78. Either weather con ditions or the fact that he was not ex tended were responsible for the larger totals. His 74, made on the third day, was splendid under the circumstances rain and greens made heavy by the wet. at Pinehurst over 80, was done in a cold His 84 of the semi-final, his only round driving rain, and in the final, when he went over the eighteen holes in 78, there was cold weather following the rain of the morning. All in all, he played ex cellent golf, being nearly always steady, sometimes brilliant, unruffled under any conditions or whatever the stage of the match and showing the ideal golf tem perament. Young Mr. Carter's card in the quali fying round was remarkable for the pro fusion of 4 's. No less than fifteen holes were done in that number of strokes. Two of these were required on short holes of par 3, but one of the 4 's was on the 527 yard hole, which is a par 5. Twelve holes in succession, from the third to the fourteenth inclusive, were in 4's. This wras machine-like work, steady to an exceptional degree. The round in detail was as follows: Out 45444444 437 In 44444354 43673 Seventy-two teed up for the qualifying round of eighteen holes on Tuesday, Jan uary 4. The weather was fine, warm and with little wind stirring. The playing in the main was not up to the opportuni ties. Only nineteen cards were returned which were below 100. After that it was match play and the competition was keen er, with extra holes and matches so close as to be decided by only one or two up. W. E. Truesdell of Fox Hills and F. S. Danforth of North Fork were. the others, besides Carter, who did better than 90, the former with an 86 and the latter with an 89. On Wednesday, the first day of match play, Carter won handily from Mr. Hen nessee of Cooperstown, whom he van quished, 5 up and 3 to play. On the third day, Thursday, there was rain off and on, but this didn't keep Mr. Carter from making a 74. He disposed of J. H. Clapp of Chevy Chase, who, however, had him two down at the fifth hole. Then the metropolitan wizard struck his gait, and he finished 5 up and 4 to play. Friday's weather was of a nature to keep the golfers indoors. Several pairs started in the rain, but all but two came in after going three holes and postponed their semi-finals until the next morning. The semi-finals were played on Satur day morning and the finals in the after noon. It was cold when the semi-finalists started, but the sun came out and did considerable warming up around noon time. S. Y. Eamage met Carter in the semi final and was beaten, 5 down and 3 to go. Mr. Manson of Framingham, winner of the advertising men's tournament in 1915, came through his match rounds in fine style after an indifferent qualifying round and met Mr. Carter in the final. Manson 's score was 85 to Carter's 78. The young star was not as accurate as usual.- Both players felt the cold, but the match was hard fought, close and stirring every foot of the way. Carter eventually won, 3 and 1, but the Fram ingham player made a sharp, plucky fight of it. First Carter was on up and then Manson would make it all square. They were square at the ninth. Carter won the first hole after the turn and soon was two up, but Manson held on tena ciously, cut down the lead and with a line 3 on the fifteenth was only one down.
