THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK MILLION'S DAY Proves Master of the Tin Whistles in Medal Play Whtttviiiore, Panoai and Decker IVfake Thiag-i Uvelr atnd Tie Up Second Honor MONDAY, December 11th, the Tin Whistle legion assembled , for medal play, the best selected 12 holes on the number one course, six to be chosen from each nine, and the usual club handicaps to leaven the score. Some very good golf was devel oped during the contest, which was as close as any man could desire. W. S. Milliken of Hyannisport, turned in the winning card, 23 on the first six selected, .and 20 on the last, a net total of 43, seven under fours. He had no strikes to spare. Pressing only one shot behind him came three of the strongest players on the links Parker W. Whittemore of Brookline, whose gross score of 76 was incidentally the best of the day for the eighteen holes, Donald Parson of Youngs town, runner-up in the Autumn Tourna ment ,and C. L. Becker, always of the .first string. Milliken took the J. M. Thompson prize, and the three played off "the tie for the club prize on Wednesday. This resulted in a very fast pace set "by the Brookline champion. His score, playing from scratch, was 41 for the twelve holes, about as good as any fellow is likely to do. Parson equaled the win ning score of Monday with a 43, and Becker drew a 50. The whole affair was very close and interesting, Tom Kelly of Southern Pines, B. H. Hunt of Worcester and K. C. Shannon of Brockport all being only a single stroke behind the second string, and two from the leader. Although there was no effort to make a good card for the 18 holes, still it is noteworthy that during the contest Whit temore returned a card of 73, the best amateur record of this season, and that Bobert Hunter cracked an eighty. There were a number of others who showed better than 85, showing that the cham pions are rounding into form. THE SUMMARY Medal Play. Best 12 holes, 6 in each nine. Played on Number One Course. "W. S.

Whittemore of Brookline mak ing a Tin Whistle round Tuesday last on the number one course came in with a 72, which is the best recorded this year. This was all the more creditable because ho made a 39 going out, which called for perfect golf coming in which was delivered. He made every hole in par except the long 505 yard 17th. This he made in four perfectly played shots one under par. It has been a long time since these nine holes were negotiated without a single score above four.
