...complexion of a matador. Most serious of British professionals, he is nervous and temperamental. He offends associates by his indifference to P. G. A. edicts and his frank money-making zeal. On the course he is apt to tear up his card when his game slips, explode over camera clicks and yelping dogs. Slightly stoop-shouldered, he flouts form by bending his left arm at the start of his stroke. Otherwise, as last week's victory suggested, his style is as studied as his temper is touchy. Self-made son of an English schoolmaster, he has practiced hours before...
...stock picture of a Japanese traveler is an immaculate, youthful-looking, polite, poker-faced Oriental who goes about with a small, expensive camera taking photographs of fortifications, air fields and the like, collects trade secrets, lets nothing escape his foxy eyes, but rarely writes a travel book. Travel books by Japanese women are even rarer.

...past seven years, the U. S. sporting public anticipates 1) dissatisfaction with the fight, 2) confusion after it. In 1930 Max Schmeling won the title from Jack Sharkey on a foul.

In 1934, clownish Max Baer knocked out Camera in an eccentric bout. In 1935, Braddock outpointed Baer in a hopelessly dull bout. Last week's fight left the heavyweight situation in some respects even more confused than before...
...suggestion to detour and see the Dionne Quintuplets. In Manhattan they stayed a week at the Gramercy Park Hotel. Then Carnaggio put them on the Berengaria and Mr. Smith peeled off $625 plus a bottle of Mischief perfume, which he manufactures. On the trip the Smiths lost a Voigtlander camera. To show his thanks, Driver Carnaggio bought a new one for $30, mailed it to England. Then he headed back to Washington, where he cashed in one more time by charging news-photographers to take his picture...
...place behind the daily tactics of the Labor struggle. The motivations that lie beneath the strikes, picketings, conferences and ultimatums have not generally broken the roily surface of the story. But day to day information from the Labor front was being gathered and conveyed last week by typewriter and camera (see p. 13), with enterprise and resource by an organization which had to be made for the occasion...
