Betty Newell, a bride of four months, is scarcely taller than her driver, weighs 110 lb. in her golfing togs. She can sock a ball farther, they say, than hardy Betty Jameson or husky Patty Berg (now a pro). Two years ago, in her first try for the national championship, she reached the semifinals, lost to tournament-tough Betty Jameson...
...Alban Berg: Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (Louis Krasner with the Cleveland Orchestra conducted by Artur Rodzinski; Columbia; six sides). Much of the music of Viennese Composer Berg, who died in 1935 (a disciple of Atonalist Arnold Schonberg), sounds like tortured, caterwauling doubletalk.

Al Everts took one of Neville's offerings on the shoulder and strolled down to first, loading the bases. Just at this crucial moment, Ned Fitzgibbons came through, as he has a habit of doing, and rapped...
