PONY KICKS GOAL
THAT GIVES CAMDEN
VICTORY IN POLO
CAMDEN, S. C., Feb. 4—Polo
fans who attended the game here
Sunday between Camden and the
Sandhills Polo Club of Pinehurst
witnessed a spectacular contest
which had an amusing finale when
the pony ridden by C. P. Dubose,
playing number two for Camden,
kicked the winning goal in the
final chukker. The final score
was Camden 7, Sandhills 6.
Spectators were pleased by a
thrilling game and predicted that
a revival of the polo in the Sand
hills section would mean much in
the development of the sport in
the Mid-South.
Pinehurst scored in the first
chukker when the hard-riding
Earl Shaw hit his best stride and
tallied twice. In the third chuk
ker Camden scored twice and the
South Carolina players took a 4
to 2 lead in the fourth. Pinehurst,
on goals by Captain Dave Ers
kine and Henry Gibson Barnard
Jr. tied the score in the fifth
period.
The sixth and final chukker
saw the ponies well in the action.
First, the ball hit the pony of
Captain Erskine and rolled
through the Pinehurst goal for
Camden. This play tied the
score.
Just before the final whistle,
Dubose of Camden drove down
the field and his pony kicked the
ball through the Pinehurst goal
for the winning tally.

nament and better their position in the league standing.

DlNEHURST SCOREBOARD
■ by ROBERT E. HARLOW
The effort of the Sandhills Polo Club to build a strong team un
der the direction of Earl Shaw and Merrill Fink is meeting with suc
cess and some thrilling sport is promised for Sunday games during
the remainder of the season.
The Southern Circuit Polo tournament will be played here the
last week in March, or first week in April, and by that time Mr. Shaw
hopes to have two teams representing the Sandhills club. One of
these would be composed of North Carolina players -and the other
team selected from polo players from outside the state.
The next game at Pinehurst will be played Sunday afternoon,
February 11 at 3 p. m. when the Sandhills and Blind Brook sides
will play. Games will also be played on Monday, and Wednesday,
February 12 and 14. All polo players wishing to get into action
| in these contests will be welcomed by Mr. Shaw and Mr. Fink.
The pick of the entire pinehurst squad will be used on Sunday,
February 18, when Pinehurst will try and get even for the 7 and 6
defeat administered by Camden in the South Carolina resort last
Sunday. A pony kicked the winning goal for Camden.
Mr. Shaw was well satisfied with the showing made by Pine
hurst in the Camden game. The Camden players have been together
for three seasons, whereas the Sandhills team is just getting up
steam and had not played together until this year. Mr. Shaw feels
that by February 18 his players will have gained sufficient experi
ence together and that with the replacements he will have available
Pinehurst will reverse the Camden decision of last Sunday.
Six North Carolina players have already appeared for the Sand
hills. They are R. B. Brown and B. R. Green of Durham, Henry Gib
son Barnard Jr. of the University of North Carolina, Captain Paul
Miller, Captain David Erskine of Fort Bragg and A. H. Ellar, Wins
ton-Salem.

“Pinehurst offers upequaled
attractions for refined people,
and at very moderate cost. The'
cottages and suites are rented
all furnished, with the exception
of bed and table linen. No intox
icating beverages are sold.” Thus
were the attractions of Pinehurst
set forth some 40 years ago in
a booklet - entitled “Pinehurst
Guide Book,” one of the few re
maining copies of which is in the
possession of H. B. Emery.
The booklet was published by
the Pinehurst Outlook Press
around 1900 and presents a very
graphic picture of life in the vil
lage at that time. The purpose
of the pamphlet is set forth in
the foreword which says, “Walks,
rides and drives about Pinehurst
and vicinity prove very pleasing,
and the object of this little pam
phlet is to assist a recent arrival
to find his way about and direct
him to the different points he
will probably wish to visit.”
It is illustrated with photo
graphs showing some of the
buildings and places of interest
in the surrounding countryside.
One is a picture of what was then
known as the “Golf Club House,”
a rather extraordinary structure, 1
which is described as “an attrac
tive club house, standing close
by the entrance to the grounds
and containing reception room,
