a disabled veteran of the last

Gassed while serving as an

annual steeplechase meeting was

twenty years ago and during
his residence here was active as
a gentleman peach farmer, in
amateur theatricals and as a
sportsman. He excelled as a
polo player and swimmer, and
was better than average in
other sports.
When George Bennett, father
of the Bennett sisters of motion
picture fame, visited Pinehurst
in the early thirties he became
interested in Mr. Walter’s abil

teur theatricals and a Holly
wood visit was arranged. For

hits in motion pictures.

BOY SCOUT LEADER
INVITES FINANCIAL AID
FOR WORK OF TROOP
John F. Taylor, treasurer of
the Boy Scouts of Pinehurst,
has sent out the following let
ter:
To the Friends of Boy Scouts:
Since our last letter our local
troop has been annexed by the
Occoneechee Council whose main
office is in Raleigh. Claude
Humphries is the Scout Execu
tive of the council. This change
is proving very valuable to the
local Scoutmaster, Mr. David
Coffey, because of the active
way Mr. Humphries is aiding
him with troop activities. This
has been so helpful in holding
the interest of the older Scouts
that Mr. Humphries is consider
ing installing a Sea Scout Pa
trol in Pinehurst.
Scoutmaster Coffey is being
ably assisted by Roderick Innis
and M. P. Wilson.
\ During the school session
merit badge work is more prom
inent,. and during the summer

GOODES NIPS MUOCI

The defending champion was
erased from the running on the.
heels of a 19-hole struggle, as;
three extra hole matches char
three extra hole combats char—
annukl North and South Ama
teur golf championship over
Pinehurst’s famed No. 2 course
yesterday. 1
Bill Cozart, a slender, phleg
matic tobacco buyer from Dur
ham, stole most of the sultry
day's thunder by holing an
8-fbot putt at th<» 19th green,
thereby sending Frankie Strafaci
to the showers. - •
Straiaci, who has won this
desired title for .^the past two
years, thus dropped his ,first
match in eleven starts here. -
Francis from Flatbush tost
because he couldn’t get the ball
in the cup. The Little Roman
from Brooklyn was guilty of )
missing five putts of three feet
or less, which is an ignominy
far removed from Strafaci’s or
dinarily cool and masterful op
erations. ✓
Cozart, on the other hand„'
kept pitching.' He made the'
turn in 34 whacks and stood!
1 up. Both sprayed birdies:
around coming in, and small
Frankie—one down with three
left—hammered ' a magnificent
second to the par-5 16th, leav
ing 'himself a four-foot putt for i
an eagle. Cozart, trying hard
to can a" long one, slid ten feet.
