THE PINEHURST OUTLOOK
BOWKER BUCKS BECKER
THE RITUAL OF THE RACES.
(Conclwled from page on?)
And Climbs to Tin Whistle Pinnacle
Waring- Takes the Meaiur of the
Second Vlig-ht
WOT AND STILL they keep
him down. Hitting for
the top in every trip
over the course this year
the old veteran, C. L.
Becker jumped into the
lead of the Tin Whistle
procession Saturday with
a 42 to the turn, and
dimbed out with a gross of 87 and a net
of medal of 79. His 45 coming home
ran him into danger, for Jock Bowker,
wielding a woodland wallop galloped
back with a 44, and with a carefully col
lected handicap of 15, tied the score.
And seeing his chance,, Jock got out his
rabbit's foot, and his pendulum putter,
and taking cogniance of eight strokes
leeway, took the veteran's measure on
the playoff, and went home with the
grand prix.
Stuyvcstant Le Roy was the only other
man to crack a ninety. But even so he
was edged into a tie for the fourth place
with C. F.. Lancaster by T. A. Cheath
am, Avhose steady progress towards the
trophy room fell only one shot net be
hind the leaders.
The event, straight handicap medal
play, was pulled off in two divisions.
And curiously enough the scores run al
most identical, Captain Harry Waring,
N. C. R. M., bringing up the light ar
tillery stormed Donald Ross' formid
able redoubts for a net 79 and the day's
citation. Just one measley little put
behind him, W. B. Hall and C. T.
Conn tied up for second position with
J. D. C. Rumsey in tow leading the
rank and file at 83.

befitting the dignity of thoroughbred

The plans, nearing completion, con
template a paddock duly and properly
enclosed with a wire fence, as it
is done at Saratoga. Henceforth, the
champions will be brought in fifteen
minutes before the race, and held in
public view. And when the bugle
sounds him of the red coat and white
breeches familiar to the racing fans, will
lead the eager racers to the post.
Quarters for all entries are now fixed
immediately adjoining the track and
both track and stables are adequately
fenced with wire.
In a word, anticipating the impetus in
evitable with the end of the war, Colonel
Swigert and Nat Hurd have prepared
for the campaign according to Hoyle,
and are going to give the riders and the
public the safeguards and the touch of
heraldry and military precision so dear
to the followers of the turf.
The steeple chase course has been stif
fened by the addition of a Liverpool on
the back stretch, and by Christmas there
will be a water jump directly in front
of the grandstand.
Meantime, in keeping with the con
ception, the Members' rooms have been
entirely refitted and will be the scene
of a weekly gathering and tea party.
The hostess of the opening races will be
Mrs. Leonard Tufts.
The Army and Ifavv Under Control
Armistice, victory and National hol
iday conspired to make the village of
Pinehurst and the contiguous landscape
from Samarcand to the lower reaches of
the Lumbee river the scene of what may
fairly be called an Army and Navy cel
ebration. The army foregathered in
Singerfest and assembled at the Curri
tuck, and the more brilliant plumage of
the navy shone at the Little House.
Neither admiral nor general commanded
either division. The long suffering deb
utantes came into their own again, nd
were found at their accustomed places
on the throne, and leading the column
late into the night upon the polished
floor of the Carolina ball room .
A roll call at the Currituck revealed:
Mrs. William Mitchell of Washington,
Mr. and. Mrs. J. Frank McDavid,
New York; Mr. and Mrs. Arthur
Sweeny, Lawrence, Mass.; Colonel Craig
McLanahan, Baltimore; Miss Clara
Goode, Baltimore; Miss Nancy Hunt,
Auburn, N. Y. ; Miss Stella Garrett,
St. Louis; Miss Katherine Mosser, Bos
ton; Major Robert McLean, Philadel
phia; Major Frank C. Page, Major
Douglas Crocker, Fitchburg; Captain
William P. Cavanaugh of the Fighting
69th. They all hailed from Washing
ton, girls and men alike, on the big job
up there.
The Little House party consisted of
Lieutenant and Mrs. L. M. Ream,
Lieutenant and Mrs. Nelson Doubleday,
C. A. Lohmann and Captain J. C.
Musser .
