...this important? Well, many years ago "Home Run" Baker amassed the astounding total of twelve circuit clouts in a season. They cheered him and his blows. That was then. Last season fans who got up at the crack of a homer only did so because they ran out of peanuts and wanted attention for more, and bush league hitters suffered painful gastronomic ailments from trying to keep up with a breakfast food company which offered, a case of wunchy-munchies for every round-tripper...

Slight, dapper Judge Ashurst first got elected to the bench in 1934, tried vainly in 1937 to join his brother in the U. S. Senate. He continued to ornament Klamath Falls with his ten-gallon hats, his string ties, sideburns, frock coats, morning trousers, and the fanciest flow of language west of Henry Fountain Ashurst...

It looked as if the old Aintree jinx on favorites was not working...
...National Golf Club course, there were four co-favorites in the field of 59: stoic Byron Nelson, U. S. Open champion; stolid Ralph Guldahl, two-time (1937-38) U. S. Open champion; happy-go-lucky Jimmy Demaret, winner of five of the twelve tournaments in the recently concluded winter circuit; and breezy Ben Hogan, winner of the last three winter tournaments with an unprecedented total of 34 under par for 216 holes. The quartet was notable because its members were all Texans-Guldahl a Dallasman, Demaret a Houstonian, Nelson and Hogan onetime fellow caddies at Fort Worth's Glen...
