...Chill, ominous fogs gathered over Pebble Beach, obscuring the fame of California's golden climate. Then up stepped young John Goodman of Omaha, the boy who rides to tournaments in freight cars and plays good golf when he gets there. (He won the Trans-Mississippi in 1927.) At this year's Open he qualified with the leaders, later putted disastrously to early elimination. Before Champion Jones's breakfast had properly settled, young John Goodman had won three holes.

She is the only person ever known to accomplish the feat. Last year fat Georges Michel, channel-swimming French baker, attempted it, had to give...
...From Buckingham Palace, over which the red and yellow royal standard flapped once more, it was announced that for fear of chill Scotch mists* the King-Emperor would not be allowed to go to Balmoral for "the twelfth," the August day that traditionally marks the beginning of the Scotch season, the death of thousands of fast-flying Scotch grouse. King George was promised the summer at Sandringham, his favorite summer home...
