...shots to keep them in the fairways. On the 23rd, Ouimet sank a 20-foot putt which put him 7 up. They played eight holes more, Ouimet solemn and quiet, Westland peering and stooping over his putts in an eccentric, futile drill. Ouimet was still 6 up at the 31st tee and when they halved that hole the match was over...
...During the 30 years I enjoyed the Emperor's friendship I never saw him so broken as on that 31st day of January, which I remember as if it were yesterday.

With such words President Hoover last week praised Abraham Lincoln in a nation-wide radio speech, which came somewhat anticlimactically after the Pope's world-salute (see p. 40). The 31st President of the U. S. reveres the 16th above all others. The Hoover eulogy was broadcast from the Lincoln study in the White House, amid Lincoln chairs, pictures, tables, plaques. A Lincoln clock, six minutes late, chimed from the mantel...
