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...
...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.

Wilkes-Barre citizens, dripping from an all-day downpour, bought 15% of the shipment on the first day. For retailers in general this was interesting news...
...easily won 5 & 4. Denny Shute finished all even with young Sam King. Manero was defeated by Cotton and Nelson lost to little David Rees. By this time defense of the Ryder Cup fell to Gene Sarazen and again Crumley's proved the crucial point. Coming to the 34th hole 1 up on Percy Alliss, Sarazen proceeded to drive into the deep trap. As Captain Hagen excitedly chewed a cigaret on the sideline, Sarazen heroically lifted his ball safely over the bunker to the green, halved the hole. He halved the next one, too, then drove calmly between...
