Pappy went to work. In his spare time, he donned overalls and a dirty work cap and helped with the renovations. He installed airconditioning, a new heating system, and new wiring. He chopped the number of apartments down to nine. Mrs. O'Daniel, an enthusiastic amateur decorator, furnished them with a combination of Hollywood modern and antique-shop French...
...baseball's No. 1 cap-straightener and head-rubber at the plate, Harry is known as "Harry the Hat" (not to be confused with the Cards' "Harry the Cat" Brecheen). He thinks his hitting this year is due partly to being an everyday player, partly to some advice about his batting stance from brother Dixie (when they meet around the circuit, they usually discuss their Alabama hardware business).

...bust of Jane Russell famous from coast to coast. Then there was a sleek and portly Hughes pressagent and talent scout named Johnny Meyer.

Former U.S. Open Champion Lawson Little said ruefully: "He hasn't anything on anybody over here except concentration . .-. and he's the finest putter who ever putted...
Bobby Locke liked the clink of Yankee dollars, and made no secret of it. He scolded galleryites who took pictures, and his cap-tipping became an automatic gesture. Said easygoing Golfer Sammy Snead: "He's O.K. ... he just wants to make a million dollars." When one newsman approached Locke for an interview, he was told: "If it's anything instructional, old boy, I'm afraid I'll have to charge you for it. Sorry, but that's the way it is." For $100 he would talk...
