DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW !
Jn; times when the newspapers have little space except for war |
and football, with a dash of Washington highlights, a touch of
Winchell gossip and intimate stories concerning the lives and loves
of Hollywood, it is difficult to arouse in the soul and mind of man
enthusiastic interest in quieter and less sensational entertainment.
All of the glamour stories and photographs produced in the
United States stimulate jittery nerves and create a thrill complex.
The more orderly and restful entertainment and mental stimulants
are passed by as the citizens seek excitement.
Present hysteria in North Carolina over the Duke - North Caro
lina game is a definite symptom of the mental condition of a large
portion of the population of the great North State. It appears that
everyone who has a ticket for this spectacle is clinching it to his
bosom or taking out insurance to protect his seat. Those citizens
who have admission price, but no tickets, are clamoring about the
snobbishness of the Duke Athletic Association by preventing them
from participating in the' party.
To slow down the rush for excitement and to aid the people of
Pinehurst in j^gothing their nerves by means of less intensified forms
of entertainirtent, a movement is underway to, institute milder and
more comfortable forms of amusement among the cottage colony
and hotel guests. Miss Mildred Hall Mason of Boston has been
given the task of organizing a diversified and dignified program.
Miss Mason is at present in communication with a speaker
who has delighted many audiences with his pleasant words and

* '
Francis C. Roberston played
one of his better rounds of com
petitive golf yesterday in a first
round match in the champion
ship flight of the Seniors’ cham
pionship at The Pinehurst Coun
try Club and defeated Donald
Parson 4 and 3. \
The day produced interesting*
games in each of three flights;
E. C. Keating won from Ken
neth Trousdell on the 19th hole
in a second flight match and'
Raymond Farr and H. Frederick:
Lesh went to ^the 20th hole be
fore Mr. Farr was the winner;.
More about these games later.
To Mr. Robertson must go the *
principal honors of the day for
he accomplished a 34 on the first
nine of the number one
and playing out the bye Iboles,
completed the course in^fc
strokes. Mr. Parson, his oppon
ent, played well, but was unable
to overcome Mr. Robertson’*
At the first hole Mr. Robertson
holed a ten foot putt for a three,
and at the second a 20-footer for
another birdie. This gave him
a start, and as he increased his
lead to four holes at the ,
and continued to play fine
Mr. Parson had no opportunity,
to level the match. ,,
The final blow was struck by
Mr. Robertson at the 14th when
he holed out a chip shot from off
the green. The pin was set well
back. Mr. Parson had hit a fine
drive at this hole and hit his sec
ond within 15 feet of the pin.
When it appeared doubtful if Mr„
Robertson could obtain a par, he*,
holed out for a three, winning,,
as Mr. Parson took the regula
tion two putts for a par four.
