...week the tables were turned. Long-striding Betty Jameson pulled away from Miss Kirby in the first nine holes and never let her catch up. Two up at the ninth, 4 up at the 18th, 2 up at the 27th, Miss Jameson took the match and title on the 34th green with the identical score by which her opponent beat her two years...
Last week in Manhattan's Grand Central Palace was held the 34th annual National Motor Boat Show, No. 1 rendezvous for pleasure boatmen. On display were 150 boats ranging from a 5-ft., $20 play boat to a 53-ft., $31,000 motor yacht. But the boats that attracted most attention were the 30-to-40-ft., $3,000-to-$ 10,000 cruisers, comfortable enough for week-end sporting or water-gypsy travel...
...devoted to the memory of Conductor Thomas. Every year since Conductor Thomas' death, a memorial concert has been held in his honor. Last week dignified 66-year-old Stock ambled to his place on the stage of Chicago's long-used Orchestra Hall to commemorate for the 34th time the death of his predecessor.

Rafael Sabatini's 34th adventure story, The Sword of Islam (Houghton Mifflin, $2.50), compares favorably with his best work (Scaramouche, Captain Blood). As dramatic as Italian opera without music, it is as ornately composed as Italian pastry. Laid in the 16th Century, it concerns one Prospero Adorno, wide-browed, slim-hipped soldier-poet, who first appears as commander of a naval squadron blockading Genoa. He changes sides several times, several times buys and talks his way out of captivity, is dishonored, vindicated, at last makes mincemeat of the Moslems, wins beautiful Gianna. Who fights whom is immaterial-the main...
...organ music. In the steamers were cardinals, archbishops, bishops, priests, monks, nuns and laymen of the Roman Catholic Church. One boat bore, in a golden monstrance in an illuminated, glass-enclosed chapel, the Sacred Host. When Eugenio Cardinal Pacelli, Papal Secretary of State and Papal Legate to the 34th International Eucharistic Congress, held aloft the monstrance and pronounced the benediction, all was quiet along the Danube. A moment later boat whistles shrilled, church bells pealed, rockets burst in air and high on St. Gellert Hill a 60-foot cross sprang into light...
