...June 1936 when John L. Lewis set up the Steel Workers' Organizing Committee, the moribund Amalgamated Association of Iron, Steel & Tin Workers had some 10,000 members and no important contracts. Working from a big modern office covering the entire 36th floor of Pittsburgh's Grant Building-a few floors above Ernest Tener Weir's anti-union National Steel Corp.-the S. W. O. C. has since then put on the most efficient organizing campaign in the history of U. S. labor. In 18 months it 1) opened company towns to union organizers, 2) jacked the Amalgamated...
Three days after Carnoustie, Champion Cotton met U. S. Professional Champion Denny Shute at Walton Heath, Surrey, for a $2,500 prize and "the world's championship" in 72 holes of match play.

Next morning he and Thomson went out on the fragrant No. 2 course at Pinehurst, to play the final of the Professional Golfers' Association tournament, hardest match-play championship in the world...
...news of Mildred McAfee's appointment, which reached the slender, curly-topped educator just three days after her 36th birthday, was as exciting to Vassar as to Wellesley women. The Vassar class of 1920 recalls Mildred McAfee as a fairly good hockeyist and basketballer who was glib enough at debating to help defeat Wellesley on one occasion. As a matter of fact, Vassarette McAfee is something of an academic cosmopolite. She was born on the campus of Park College at Parkville, Mo., founded by her grandfather. After Vassar she made a grand tour of Eastern & Midwestern male and female...
