...company in the courts since February 1933. Last week David Sarnoff, short, round-faced head of Radio Corp. said, in effect, to his troublesome corporate offspring: "Go and never darken my door again." But the orphan was not put out into any storm. Waiting to receive it was Floyd Bostwick Odium's Atlas Corp. which, together with Lehman Bros., Manhattan banking house, bought an unspecified portion of RCA's holdings in RKO stocks and debentures. What Atlas and Lehman paid for their purchase was equally unstated but, inasmuch as the deal carried an option to buy whatever...

Two days later, Aurora nosed out the Hurricanes 11-to-10, for a place in the final against Greentree. Greentree, Jock Whitney's team, has never won the Open but this year, ahead of Whitney at Back, are Pete...
...excitement of having a British team campaigning on Long Island has been the major polo interest of the season, the doings of young Pete Bostwick on and off the field have run a close second. Last year, Bostwick, whose diminutive size had aided him to become generally rated the world's ablest amateur jockey, decided to give up racing in favor of a game which his other interests had kept him too busy to play seriously since he was 10.
