...Walter J. Salmon, the realtor who built Manhattan's Salmon Tower. The Salmon silks are salmon pink. As winner of the Preakness, Mr. Salmon was presented by Gov. Ritchie with the bulky Woodlawn Vase won last year by Harry Payne Whitney's Victorian. Horseman Salmon touched the cup but did not take it away. It is customary to leave it at Pimlico. Mr. Salmon also received $53>325> which he pocketed...
...fourth time (second in succession) last week in Muirfield, Scotland. Diegel had a chance, but Diegel, as he usually does, blew up. Hagen, cautious as a cat, steady as a locomotive, did not blow up. That is usual too. The British entrants, despite their victory as a Ryder Cup team over the U.

Pennsylvania rowed too, came in last in every race but the 150-lb. class, in which no Penn crew was entered. Columbia, having won every race this season, is, with possible exception of Cornell, the East's best bet for intercollegiate honors in June, when potent oarsmen from Washington and California will row on the Hudson...
These delicate, unsolved terrors were so sensitively evoked that the Gardens Players won the Cup donated by clerical-collared Producer David Belasco for the best production. There were also two $200 prizes for the best unpublished plays. Hudson Strode of Anniston, Ala., won one of these with The End of the Dance, as presented by the Anniston Little Theatre. It was silly drama about a woman with a weak heart who died after she learned that her husband, whom she had supposed a musical genius, was in reality an esthetic piddler...
