FEBRUARY 24, 1921 I AGE 5 ANENT GEORGE McLEAN AND EMMET FRENCH By E. A. Denham George McLean, who played a lot of ;good golf at Pinehurst this month and who is now making his way leisurely to Florida in company with George Fother ingham, has dug up an old score-card which he offers to match against Leo Diegel's sensational 67-63 130, recently achieved at Pasadena. McLean's card is a valued souvenir of the qualifying round in the Dunwoodie club champion ship, May, 1916, when George, who was then connected with Dunwoodie, played around Avith W. II. Harris, a member of the club, and disposed of the 36 holes in 65-65 130, straight -medal-play. This is the best that McLean has ever done for 36 holes and it's a trifle better than has been so far claimed by any of the other professionals now at Pinehurst. Phil Carter and Emmet French, the Youngstown professional, are the only players who have broken 140 for two consecutive rounds on the championship course here although Mike Brady holds the official record of the course with a 67 achieved in the final of the North and South Open a few years ago. Unofficial 67 's, in four-ball matches, have also been recorded for French and Parker Whitte more, the Brookline star. The most memorable of French's 67 's was the one achieved last year in a match between Charlie Mothersele and French on the one hand and Francis Oui met and Perry Adair on the other a m.atch in which Ouimet went around in par 71 and failed to win a hole! "Which," quoth Francis sadly, "is something that never happened to me be fore and that I devoutly hope will never happen to me again." During the winter months the resort of Southern Pines claims French's allegi ance and he comes over to Pinehurst once or twice a week and cleans up. There is a good, deal of taJktaround here of the possibility of his going abroad next sum mer as a member of the professional team. It 's hard for the Pinehurst crowd to "see" anybody but French, this sea son, .so far as the local courses are con cerned. They got up a big purse for a professional medal-play tourney here the other day and one chap, "subscribed" by offering to add a fiver for each score better than French's. He admitted cheerfully he had nothing against Emmet and was actuated solely by motives of economy. It didn't cost him anything, as things turned out, though there were seven other good pro's in the contest. Over at Southern Pines, a fortnight ago, French established a new course record with a 67, all putts holed out, and followed it up with a 69 in a medal play event the next day. The 67 in cluded, in the first place, two strokes lost when his ball jumped out of the cup after jumping in for an apparent brace of 2's on par 4 holes. And in the second place it included two short putts missed on the last two greens putts which in both cases had been conceded by his opponent but which French in sisted on playing for purposes of record. He came to the seventeenth tee with a fairly easy par 3 and 4 for a 65 and finished with a measly 67. Emmett 's low scores at Pinehurst are usually made in Sunday play, when no caddies are available and the sand greens are left unswept. The latter are in pretty bad shape by the time the after noon comes around but so far from that bothering French to any noticeable ex lent he seems to play 'em better when they're in bad shape than when they're as smooth as a billiard table. In a big match played on a recent Sunday after noon, just after a heavy rain, Emmet didn't slip up once on the greens until he came to one that an innocent by stander had mopped up and smoothed down with the Persian rugs they use PINEHURST DAIRY SCORES AGAIN IN STATE TEST MASKED BALL AT HOLLY INN The honor roll for the North Carolina Registry of Merit work includes thirty seven cows for the month passed, and of these thirty-seven animals five are Ayr shires from the Pinehurst Farms. Pinehurst had only five cows entered, and on milk production for the month they took second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth places, and missed first place by only a very small margin. First place was won by Mrs. J. F. Stephens' Hol stein cow, Ailsa Netherland Sodene, with a production of 2,080 pounds of milk and 66.98 pounds of fat. The Pinehurst Ayrshire, Tootsie Mitchell, was second with 2,046 pounds of milk and 72.22 pounds of fat. While the Pinehurst cow was thirty-four pounds less in milk pro- 1 ir . : . i i ' . -.

More than fifty couples took part in the grand march, and the costumes were varied and unusually striking. The. big room was decorated in National colors, pines and white hya cinths, and excellent music was furnished by the orchestra. The judges were Messrs. Wr. H. Best and S. II. Fields, Miss Rosette Carley and Mrs. John L. Brooks. The grand march was led by Mr. J. II. Gallup and Mrs. E. G. Fitzgerald. The first prize for the best costume was awarded to Miss Natalie Tremayne, who was dressed in a resplendent Harem costume. Miss Ruth Keating wore an unique grape costume and won second prize. Third prize went to Mr. J. II. Gallup, who was dressed as a clown. All of the costumes were clever and good and the judges had difficulty in deciding the winners.
