DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD 1 by LOU KOCH According to indications observed in the ballroom of the Caro lina Hotel yesterday, badminton, which never had a .very strong ; stand in the Sandhills sports catalogue, will, return this season with a bang and possibly stay that way as the perfect pastime during rainy weather days. Hiram Foster, who is at The Carolina this season as a special representative of Hqjrry W. Norris, manager of the hotel as a direc tor of sports and entertainment for the benefit of the guests, got the ball rolling, or rather, “the bird a flying” yesterday. Mr. Foster happened to express a yen for a game to a guest at The Carolina. The topic struck a knowing and appreciative chord with John H. Livingston, who plays quite a game himself. The best part of the story is the fact that Livingston had a “bad” net, a pair of Wilson racquets and a box of birds along with him. Mr. Livingston is a New York advertising man who came to The Carolina for a rest with his assistant, Leonard Hibbits. The playing equipment was brought down from Mr. Living ston’s room, some chalk was procured, a couple of floor lamps were brought in as net posts and the first thing you knew there was a regulation court set up in the ballroom. .Foster, Livingston and Hibbits opened play, taking their turn as each other’s partners. Before long a number of other guests were rounded up for play, including Mr. and Mrs. D. W. O’Donaghue of Washington, Miss Marjorie Yates, “Bing” Hunter, Earl A. Ross and several others. Mr. Foster, with the assistance of Mr. Livingston, is now plan ning to boost the game and to give it a place on the Pinehqrst sports calendar especially as a rainy day fixture. Badminton is a game which, though it was played as early as 1873 in England and earlier still in India, was only really “discov ered” by the rest of the world about 20 years ago. A former name for the game was “battledore and shuttlecock,” called that usually by those who had never seen or played it. Bad minton has taken its proper place in the world of sport, as one of the very best and fastest games in existence today. The feet play a very important part, in the game, so that a pair of comfortable rubbeivsoled shoes is essential, and since it is a very energetic and active game, light-weight, easy-fitting clothes are also an asset. * HOSPITAL CLINIC DILEMMA DEBATED Decision as to a future loca tion for the Pinehurst syphillis clinic, became further complicat ed when the Moore County Hos pital staff voted, five to three, to recommend to the directors that this work should not be un dertaken in the basement of the hospital. The Pinehurst clinic, which closed last October 1st, was con ducted by Dr. Francis L. Owens in the village fire station until the pressure of his private prac tice and the lack of an adequate staff of assistants and equipment necessitated his resignation. Since Dr. Owens advisdd Mrs. Leonard Tufts, chairman of the work in Pinehurst, that he could I no longer continue, the work has not been carried on. At. a recent meeting of the Pinehurst Chamber of Commerce a suggestion was made that the clinic might be continued in the Moore County Hospital building. Paul Dana, representing the hos pital, advised the Chamber that he would present the clinic. situ ation to the Hospital staff for consideration. The suggestion * was taken up at a recent meeting of the staff, at which Dr. Earl Overcash, Southern Pines, presided. After a discussion in which Dr. J. C. Knox, state epidemiologist, Dr. C. R. Monroe, resident physi (Continued from page four) Lecturer Will Change Tempo Of His Address To Suit Audience ■ ■■ ...... ■ — — ■ ■ + - POST OFFICE TO NOTE SECOND THANKSGIVING The Pinehurst Post Office wishes to announce that it will observe the Second Thanks giving this * year and will therefore be open on Thurs day, November 23rd but will not be open on Thursday 30th. _ft FAYETTEVILLE OPENS ANNIVERSARY RITES TO CONTINUE WEEK Folk Drama, “The Lost Colony,1M Depicts Raleigh's Attempt to Colonize Roanoke Island; Scot tish Clans to March Wednesday FAYETTEVILLE, N.
